Series Thread: M's @ Blue Jays; May 11th - 14th

unless the offense puts up big numbers early, it's always going to be very uncomfortable watching this decimated team.

i'm not using decimated as a pejorative, either. it's just the state of the team.

amazing how well they've done, all things considered.

Realistic expectation is Paxton & Haniger could return at some point during road trip at end of May. Felix unlikely until some time in June.

I am curious if Dipoto is looking at trades for some pitching right now, this rotation is a shit show of injuries right now. It might bury the team if these guys are out for much longer. Teams might not want to make too many moves this early though.

Very true. I have a hard time believing the offense will be able to keep up with the pitching being so inconsistent.

He actually said today on the radio that he is not. He is looking to just ride it out at this point.

Those upcoming series against the Nats, Redsox, and Rockies is looking more and more scary as it is appearing more and more likely we won't have many of our pitchers back. I could see a 20 run game coming for one of those teams against this staff.

Not going to be pretty.

easily one the worst teams in baseball, and we get them for 4 games.

have to take advantage, no matter our own state of decimation.

offense cannot go ice cold with the current 4-6th inning relievers we have.

 

[NWinAZ]

Good ole M's. Get to .500 and lose 2 in a row. How do you get shut out by a nobody pitcher in Toronto? That takes real skill.

 

[NWinAZ]

17 consecutive scoreless innings in Toronto. WOW!

 

[WizardHawk]

They said on the radio during the game that the M's have used 13 rookies so far, and that does not include motter.

Who's the next starter that is going to go down? I mean we all expect it to keep happening at this point don't we?

 

[Destroydacre]

As good as the offense has been at times, it's still lacking any kind of consistency. 17 straight scoreless innings in a stadium that the ball flies out of. I was really hoping they could win the series, but now the best they can hope for is a split and in all honesty they are probably looking at a series loss against a bad Toronto team.

 

[Anointed One]

So hard to be excited about this team.

 

[Anointed One]

Thank God the NBA is here...

Well I guess that answers that, just ride it out with the leagues scraps LOL. Fuck it

 

[NWinAZ]

Kuma out 4-6 weeks with inflammation.

 

[NWinAZ]

Just turned on game in 3rd. Gave up run, but Motter needs to come up with that grounder that cost us a run.

20 innings and counting.

Now the replacement pitcher is hurt.

This is insane... fuck this fucking game

I actually liked watching this kid the best of all the call ups. Grabbed his bicep and is out. SMH!!!!!
