Series Thread: Mariners vs White Sox July 20-22

[SeattleCoug]

I don’t care to bitch about Felix. Him being bad isn’t breaking news.

Covey had an era of 11.70 in his last 5 starts

Seriously I don’t think this team could hit a jugs machine right now.

Unreal....we're playing the 3rd worse team in all of Major League baseball and we've only gotten 1 hit in six innings and the white sox have 4 runs- just a pathetic showing for the M's tonight.

 

[Duders]

M's came awful close to having a no hitter pitched against them by Covey who is 3-5 with a 5.69 ERA. Mariners making him look like an All Star again tonight.

I have family at this game tonight, 3rd row above the Sox dugout. What a shitty game for them to be sitting at. We all felt a white sox game would be fun to go to and see some runs piling up. Boy were we ever wrong about that.

 

[SeattleCoug]

Yep relying on winning 3-2 every night isn’t a way to make a living.

A's win in 11. Back to 3 game lead and 6 back of Astros.

A's Watch:

Buster Olney of ESPN reports that Mets closer Jeurys Familia will be traded to the Athletics if the two sides can finish the deal.

Olney earlier reported that the Mets had agreed to the structure of a deal involving Familia and an unknown team. If the structure of the deal is in place, it likely means that money is the final hurdle, and the Mets have reportedly said they're willing to include cash with Familia to get a better return. With a 2.88 ERA and 43 strikeouts over 40 2/3 innings, the 29-year-old right-hander would give Oakland an excellent bridge to Blake Treinen and give the Athletics one of the better bullpens in the American League.

As of now the As have the better lineup and pen.

Crap show for the offense... I expect a dumpster inning or 2 or 3 from Felix every time so the offense needs to show up with the M's rotation.

I am more worried about the pitching rather than the hitting because right before the all star break Paxton and Leake got shelled against the rockies and angels. If I remember history correctly Paxton really doesnt have a good 2nd half performance and we are still crossing our fingers with Marco, Leblanc and Leake

Never thought I'd say this at the beginning of the season but I'm sure glad Gonzales is pitching today...

[Anointed One]

M's didn't even hit a ball out of the infield and they get a run scored off of an RBI walk... We'll take it any way we can I guess...

Going to throw some chicken thighs in the smoker, mow the lawn, drink a beer and listen to the rest of the game while I do lawn work... Let's get the "W"!

 

[Duders]

Sacks loaded, 1 out and Seager gets a walk to walk in a run. Nice to see Seager contributing by not K'ing out or hitting into a DP. Good start to this game today after last night's disaster. Glad to see Healy back in the line up and not Vogelbach. Span with sac fly for Haniger to make it 2-0. Healy hits a BOMB to make it 5-0

Dude, it's too hot to be working outside especially with the guys actually doing something worth watching.

 

[Duders]

I'm really happy to see Z back off the DL but sure wish he'd start doing something with his bat. The team could sure use some of his offense he's shown in the past.

 

[Duders]

Weird to say this, but Gonzo is looking more and more like the M's ace. He's probably the most consistent starter on the team at this point.

 

[Duders]

Wow- Is this the same ball club that played last night?? Or the last 6 or 7 games? Offense is going nuts so far today. Really nice to see for a pleasant change.

 

[Duders]

That was terrible base running. Healy should have broke to 3rd earlier when Span was caught in the run down Turned into double play cuz he waited too long.

Man is Dee a upgrade @ 2nd. Never saw him play before coming over.
