Obscure Astros pitcher crushes Mariners, 5-2 | Sportspress Northwest
Yep this actually came out of the skippers mouth. If you cant see the link here are some quotes:
Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon gave McHugh the majority of the credit in limiting the M’s offense.
“He was a little different than the scouting report that we got. He was 94 (mph). He threw a pretty good slider or cut fastball in, commanded the fastball . . . you’ve got to give him credit,” McClendon said. “I think it was a combination of that, and our guys probably trying to do a little too much right now.”
The Mariners hoped for an improved effort from starter Erasmo Ramirez after he struggled in his previous three outings, when opponents combined to hit .383 and plated 13 runs.
Houston had two-run home run in the first inning from Jason Castro and followed in the second with a solo homer by Chris Carter. But over the next four innings, the Astros garnered just one more hit. In fact, when Ramirez was relieved by Dominic Leone to start the seventh inning, he had set down nine in a row.
While it didn’t start out well for the diminutive right-hander, the Mariners had to be encouraged with the way he finished. McClendon, though, was more focused with the beginning.
“He did not make quality pitches when he needed to,” McClendon said. “I think he needs to pitch better than what he did.”
Are there any alternatives short of getting Hisashi Iwakuma back as soon as possible?
“That’s something that Jack and I will sit down and talk about. The fact is the club is struggling. You need to go out and throw strikes and put up zeroes and we didn’t do that early.”
So essentially last nights loss is blamed on not having the right scouting report, running into yet another "buzz saw" and Erasmo Ramirez who wasnt amazing but gave you a quality start. ZERO blame on the offense ZERO.
