Series Thread: M's Homestand: August 2nd to August 11th

Tell you what Astro smell blood with September right around the corner.

They had sand kicked in their face, almost the entire first half of the season with that terrible record. after that horrendously slow start, and now that the playoffs are on the horizon, they ain’t gonna go down quietly.

I hope I’m wrong, but I just don’t think the Mariners are going to be able to keep up the pace with them down the stretch
[/QUOTE]

agreed..and yet they are still.
the same. ..team we have.
seen with breagman.back...

mariners should be better..
and maybe will be we can't.

and will..stay..within.
a couple games anyway..

to be able to go on a roll..
after playing dodgers...

haniger has 3 game hit.

Garcia would still fit..even.
if mariners. kept polanco..

canzone hit s.
double off the wall..
and he is back as well.

 

[MarinersBestFan]

Castillo just doesn’t look sharp tonight. He’s fallen behind hitters. He’s already walked two or three and hit a batter.

He’s really struggling with his slider to get it anywhere near the plate. It’s a complete wasted pitch right now.

 

[MarinersBestFan]

Wanker

Two trips to the plate two strikeouts

 

[Anointed One]

Good thing Julio came back. Two strikeouts, zero runs on the board for the team.

Oh heck wasn't paying much attention. I thought Garver was DH'ing.

He’s really struggling with his slider to get it anywhere near the plate. It’s a complete wasted pitch right now.

I thought he was overthrowing. Just looks like he is putting more into his pitches and it is costing him location.

 

[NWinAZ]

Rojas wasn't wrong.

 

[NWinAZ]

I can't believe I am about to say this, but I like Root better. ESPN has too many gimmicks. I watch to watch baseball not all this crap.

 

[ulmax]

mariners outfield is good defense.
with Robles and arosearena.
know julio.returns..

it's .Boston style outfield..

yeah .it's good .

canzone. doubly..over bounce .the fence..
Rivas bunts canzone to 3rd..
Robles up..

(yell.ing)sacatashy..Robles..

ahh.strikes out..

arosarena .hit to 1ast.onerror..

raliegh.hr....

mariners 4.-0.mets..
raliegh makes them pay for a mistake.

 

[Anointed One]

Oh heck wasn't paying much attention. I thought Garver was DH'ing.

Same result. Three strikeouts now for Julio. Did we even send them down to AAA to get a few games in before coming back? He was struggling before he got hurt.

 

[ulmax]

mcniel.hr..
mariners .4-1.mets..

 

[ulmax]

had he not been hitting .270.orv260.
whatever..
I would agree..
but the offence is so bad .they need all.
the guys they can get .

send julio.to.. top gun.....in the offseason..he has not hit his celling..
yet although he is good..
