Cano is really pressing...

On second thought, sit his ass.

Zunino doing his Ackley impression lately and watching strike 3 fly past without swinging.

To be fair...strike 2 and 3 were pretty obviously out of the zone...should have earned a walk

 

[SeattleCoug]

Bloomquist is a Buehrle killer. One of those things you just can't explain

Unfortunately the strike zone this year cant come even close to be trusted because its so wide. I used to get annoyed at borderline calls and now I miss them because they are at least close.

That 2nd pitch to Cano for the game is a perfect example, it would have flown behind most people if they were standing in the right side batters box but the umpire called it a strike. And that's the new accepted normal in MLB.

Maybe his legs are tired...lol. Sorry I couldn't refuse. Pure sarcasm on my part. He does need to sit a couple days in a row just to get his head right.

Does he have any options left?

 

[NWinAZ]

Back-to-back walks to start the 6th. Paxton doing his best Rodney imitation...but Lloyd is fine with that of course.

 

[WizardHawk]

Cano proving why he's still worth his pay.

Ok, ok. Great fielding like that doesn't entirely make up for his lack of offensive production. Still a great play though.

 

[NWinAZ]

Maybe top Mariner defensive play to date this year considering situation and all.

 

[WizardHawk]

A gift of two base runners wrapped with a bow. Can they do anything with it?

 

[EVille3]

fundamentals...nice bunt Z

Not surprisingly the answer was no.

 

[Tapey]

Oh hey what a surprise we didn't score, that's werid.

 

[SeattleCoug]

I'm expecting that failed situation to hurt them.

 

[WizardHawk]

how many failed attempts has this team had with a runner at 3rd with less than 2 outs?

 

[SeattleCoug]

Here comes the blow pen. Seems silly to expect 3 scoreless innings

 

[NWinAZ]

guys trying to bunt so we call a pitch-out.

 

[NWinAZ]

pitch 4 called a ball this inning

 

[SeattleCoug]

That looked familiar Smoaky.

 

[NWinAZ]

man I love Smoak

 

[Tapey]

I like seeing smoak strikeout a lot more now.
