Series Thread: Mariners vs Twins (July 7th - 10th)

[Podunkparte]

I REALIZE that. He needs to learn how to hit the ball. If he could hit, it would help the team

What the hell are you talking about? He's been getting hits regularly since he came up.

James Jones has been everything we could ask for at the top of the order

Does Hart really need to be batting clean up. The offense was fine with Seagar hitting there. Now it looks out of sorts

i agree completely

kuma with a 9th K already

goodness

wake up m's offense!

If I HAD to nitpick, I could say Jones could get on base more (walks) but that would be completely ignoring the huge gaping holes in the offense (Hart and Ackley) to instead fuck around with something that's working.

Someone should look up the teams record with Hart in and out of the lineup. I have a feeling it would be drastically different.

21-22 when he got hurt, 1-2 since he's been back. So 2 under with him, 10 over without him.

Correria threw 45 pitches in 1st two innings and 35 in the next 4. The lack of decent approach with a guy that is struggling is mind boggling. He shouldnt have made it out of the 5th inning and we should be up at least 4-0

21-19 when he plays (coming into tonight), which I guess means 27-21 when he's out of the lineup.

Another hard time scoring against a guy with a 5 ERA (4.95 coming in).

Kuma escapes!

Come on offense let's put up 1 or 2 more insurance runs

 

[seahawksfan234]

Just got home and turned on the game to see Kuma get out of that jam. Nice.

Beautiful to hear Rick Rizz instead of Dave Simms. This seriously made the Mariners game a lot more fun to watch for me.

It's just mind boggling. When our bats go cold they really go cold.

Wow what was Gardenhire thinking that inning. Leaves Kendrys at 1st base instead of the pinch runner. Double to the gap that scores anyone else in the world and then once he gets to 3rd he uses the pinch runner. Lucky this isnt 1-1.

Why don't they just use Rizz?

 

[SeattleCoug]

I really do think putting Hart in the clean up spot screws up the offense. The numbers back it up

I'm always amazed at the stats baseball reference has.

i'm pretty sure that's rick's call

he chooses to do radio

 

[Tapey]

watching pipsqueaks like ackley and miller coming to the plate after big, strong kids like seager and zunino makes me so sad. replace either of them with a real hitter and this team becomes a real contender, i think.

miller looks like he might fill out in the next couple of years, but ackley will always be, at best, a scrappy utility guy like bloomquist.

Please don't insult bloomquist like that.

 

[cezero]

please offense, we're begging you

stop getting dominated by shitty fucking pitchers
