lllluuuuuoooooo....pinella............scott


if ya cant win..might as well pitch a fit................and try to gain ....something

It does help that this ump is squeezing seattle pitchers. crawford struck out on a pitch low and away not even touching the plate but when Seattle pitches Anderson keeps throwing strikes that the chumpire keeps calling balls.

 

[Msfann]

I turned off the game to watch something more exciting

 

[Duders]

Now all we need is for Toro to get a bomb with one or two on base and then have Smith to close it out for us. That should let the Stros know that the M's got the better of that deal for Graveman. Won't ever happen but would be cool if it did.

 

[NWinAZ]

Love this.

 

[Msfann]

Dumb move by Torrens running into third. this team does not know baseball fundamentals at all.

 

[Duders]

Sacks juiced, no outs for the Stros, you gotta think someone is gonna score a walkoff now.

Hope it's not a walk off walk off win.

 

[Duders]

Sewald blows me away. Talk about pressure and he handles it. Good on him

 

[Duders]

Ha Ha...Houston can just suck it now

 

[Destroydacre]

Lol so hey it turns out the Astros are totally beatable if you hold them under double digits.

Side note: Middleton should never pitch if the Mariners have the lead. I don't care if they're up by 20 runs, never ever ever ever ever put him in with a chance to blow it.

 

[Duders]

Leave it to the Mariners to take a shit series and end up making it an exciting close out. France is awesome both D and O.

He throws no quality strikes. It's either way off or right down the middle. No movement, no corners.

 

[NWinAZ]

We are now 12-12 since the first trade.

His command just hasnt been there at all.

It's like when we watched Altavilla pitch here. Stuff is fine but you never knew where it was going. Quality job by Ramirez to put out the fire though. The pitch he struck out Altuve on was something and even surprised Altuve

Despite how ugly most of this weekend was, the A's dropped 2/3 as well so no ground was lost against them.

To his defense, that last batter he walked should have been a strike 3 call... That hit the left hand corner with his breaking ball... But to your point, I agree...

Castillo scares the helk out of me as well..

I only turned it on in the 9th but just from watching the last two innings that strike zone or whatever it was, was something to behold

It’s like clockwork with Seager
