Series Thread: M's @ Indians; April 26th - 29th

[SeattleCoug]

I don't know if you read the comments by Servais, but he said the home run played a part because, "They were stressful pitches in that AB". I have never understood how a pitch in a tight situation is more physically demanding than a pitch at any of time. Played sports my whole life and never was I more tired based on the situation of the game.

I guess I am basing it and how pitchers are being handled for the most part. For some reason we have universally decided that pitcher only has a 100 pitches in his arm. So if Paxton finished the inning with 95 pitches instead of 100 I bet he starts the inning, that's how asinine it was. Paxton was a tad wild but at the most part in control that whole game. And the ball Alonso hit was something he just ran into. I just want to know my manager watches the game and pulls a pitcher when it he is done, and not by the pitch count always. If your asking me who I trust more Paxton at 100 pitches or Vincent/Scrabble its really not a debate right now.

No that is my point. It was even more asinine than that. He said he was letting him go to 115 pitches but changed his mind because the last batter was too taxing of pitches. It wasn't that he was at his limit, but he was taxed on those last 5 pitches by his (Servais) judgement.

Well that was a quick top of the 1st. Kluber is going to be a challenge tonight.

 

[Duders]

Oh well- lead off bomb from the Indians. Wonder hos Ramirez is going to fend off the tribe. Not feeling a whole lot of confidence but hope I'm wrong.

 

[Anointed One]

Didn't really have much confidence in the M's winning today when I noticed Ramirez was the starting pitcher with our offense facing Kluber...

 

[Duders]

Well it doesn't look like I was wrong. 3 bombs in bottom of the 1st- what else could happen?

 

[SeattleCoug]

Yea I wrote this game off days ago. Doesn't change the fact that Erasmo isn't a starting pitcher. Hopefully it doesn't take 4 months to figure that out.

Luckily we have Elias to replace him with...

 

[Duders]

Ramirez could be a decent AAA starting pitcher- not a SP in the bigs though. Bullpen has already been worked so I hope we don't blow up the pen in this game.

 

[Duders]

Have a feeling this is going to be a very depressing game-for the fans-and for the players too.

 

[AceKeptic]

Remind me again, WHY did we bring back Erasmo?

 

[seahawksfan234]

Been watching the draft and just checked the box score for the Mariners game.

Luckily, Erasmo Ramirez has only given up 3 HRs, 1 triple and 2 doubles.

Meanwhile, Tyler O'Neill only had 6 home runs and 18 RBIs in 12 games in AAA while hitting .388/.385/.837

 

[Duders]

It's kind of too bad that Ramirez gave up those 3 bombs in the 1st because we might have had a chance in this game if Kluber leaves and the pen came in....maybe. ooops....another bomb by Ramirez so forget about what I just said. And now it looks like Dee might have an issue. Hope he's OK though.

Make that 4 HR's now oh man, number 5 just happened while typing this - what the fuck is Ramirez doing pitching for the M's in the 1st place. I knew we fucked up when we dished O'Neill. Another GREAT move by Dipstick. WTF!!

 

[Duders]

Oh fuck, now scrabble is on the hill. Guess he can't be any worse than Ramirez....can he??

What's it matter? Erasmo ended the game for us in the first as it is.

 

[Duders]

I'm just glad we were able to scratch out a W against the Indians yesterday instead of getting swept by them. I'll take 1 win in a series against the tribe. Our defense has not been spot on tonight either.....but who's counting.

 

[Duders]

So true

 

[Duders]

Got me a new 40volt string trimmer from the home depot today. Can hardly wait to get out in the yard and weed wack the hell out of everything.
Sorry....off topic.

 

[Duders]

Haniger just absolutely ROCKS!! I love that guy!!
