Series Thread: Mariners vs Tigers May 11-13

[Tapey]

Oh hey our challenge equipment is conveniently down for the 2nd day in a row

 

[FirebreathingMonkey]

Can this team suck at the base load more

 

[Duders]

We get guys on base but sometimes it's absolute hell getting them across the plate especially with the bases loaded.

 

[Destroydacre]

Nicasio was such a great signing. I just love the depth of the Mariners bullpen!

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

lol well that was quick... I wonder if Nicasio just went out there and said, "Eh fuck it..."

 

[Tapey]

I can confidently say Mangement lost us the 2 games this series

Yep. His numbers or off the cart and not in a good way. I think he is now around a 13 ERA in the last 8 games.

I'm hoping he puts it together, but this is a signing none of us liked and he has been terrible. I expected him to be worse than he was last year, but nowhere near this bad.

He better lose that 8th inning role. (or 9th inning tie)

He needs to be innings 5 or 6.
We have much better pitchers than Nicasio.

 

[Tapey]

I wouldnt mind seeing Pazos having a bigger role

 

[unlvmariners]

Nicasio has been absolute dogshit in May. I am hoping he turns it around mostly because I know the M's are dumb enough to keep using him. Please you can't keep running him out there.

Starting to have that typical Mariners feeling to it after this series. It’s as if the baseball gods saw that this team was doing well and says “not so fast”

The Cano injury is pissing me off more than the blowpen

That's what happens when you rely on the long ball to score runs...

Or Vincent... Tired of watching Nicasio's fast ball being hammered due to the location being the center of the plate at 91mph... That's a recipe for disaster...

Vincent is the guy I'd like to see too, but his style of pitching for some reason is hated. He is a guy who shouldn't be able to be effective but he is. Plus it's not exactly bad strategy going from a softer throwing Vincent into flame throwing Diaz.

Vincent or Pazo's should be the set up guy IMO but both of those guys are after thoughts with the M's for reason, only reason they are even on the club is because all of Jerry's flame throwing arms he's acquired have been hurt.

This was a series we should have won, if not swept. Is this going to be a re-run of the last several seasons? Hope not but hoping hasn't worked very well in the past.
