Would be nice for the Mariners to win this series. The way they are hitting the ball going into that ballpark there could be a lot of runs scored in this series. Will be interesting to see how they handle Darvish. Would like to see Walker get back on track too, but not expecting that to happen.

Be great to win the series. This is going to be about the offense for the Mariners. SP has been pretty blah. At least we don't have to see Miley or Paxton pitch against these guys this series.

Time for Taijuan to show some growth. Kid needs to step up

When is Marte due to come off the DL? Looks like his rehab time in Tacoma is doing well.

Same identical record... Make no mistake about it, it is a HUGE series as this will give either team a decent cushion in the West. Until they meet again few days later.

Last I check it should be June 6. June 10 for Martin.

 

[WizardHawk]

Damn, so we won't have him at all this weekend then. Of course not. Bad enough Felix is out, but we are down two of our offensive pieces to boot.

 

[Cloud]

Felix is due back June 12. Should get all 3 back next time we see them.

I like Lind and Lee both being in the starting lineup.

My exact same thought a month ago and again last night. Use Smith and Aoki in LF and rotate Guti with Lee/Lind/Cruz.

This is a big early season series...

 

[Cloud]

Oh boy... The starting pitching is making me extremely nervous.
Needs to get their acts together.

 

[cezero]

the league has adjusted to walker

we'll see soon enough if he can make adjustments of his own

 

[unlvmariners]

Settle the fuck down Walker. Fuck man the starting pitching sucks right now

 

[Cloud]

Seager is tearing the crap out of the baseball right now. At the end of april dude was batting .139. Hes now at .299. Damn!

 

[Destroydacre]

Another pitching dud from Walker.

 

[Destroydacre]

Cederstrom, you're 5 feet from that play and you can't see Clevenger clearly tag Beltre on the foot. Wow...
