Series Thread: M's Roadtrip: July 26th - 31st

[NWinAZ]

And Garver ends the 10th on one pitch with an easy grounder to SS with bases loaded. Still tied going to bottom 10th. Game. Over.

 

[NWinAZ]

Jesus Montero still available?

 

[WizardHawk]

89% chance they lose now. Almost no chance that bullpen holds with a ghost runner

 

[PolarVortex]

Garver is killing me. He's absolutely killing me. Take your $25 million and go home, dude. Please.

Kelly wanted no part of Dylan Moore. Why would he when he knew Garver was hitting behind him? (Just heard Sims say 'that's the ballgame').

Montero a career .247 hitter for M's. Who knew he would be the high point at catcher?

 

[WizardHawk]

didn't survive the first batter even.

 

[NWinAZ]

1B open and you let their best hitter beat you. Shocker!!!

 

[kcden]

Yeah, why not pitch to an MVP candidate when there is literally no downside to just walking him?

 

[NWinAZ]

It seems like all Kirby's starts go this same way.

 

[WizardHawk]

They clearly had already given up putting Diaz in as it was

Can they hold it this time?

 

[WizardHawk]

Stros going up against a guy with more than a 6ERA. Like the Garver of starting pitching.

Hey! I know! Let's bring in Robbie Ray from the bullpen to pitch to Alvarez!.........Oh, wait...... That's was 23 moinths ago. Nevermind. Servais makes so many bonehead pitching decisions that they start getting mixed up in my head.

 

[ulmax]

Mariners still .have some work .
To do..
On the offence..
And garver. ..
Dfa..
Get zavala .

And .put robles.back in..

 

[ulmax]

Give Robles most the day off but not after.
7th inning...

 

[ulmax]

If garver can't come through in big.
Time.
Let him go..

Oh yee of little faith! Relax! We come home for three games against those lameass, non-competitive Philadelphia Phillies! Meanwhile, the Astros are stuck defending their share of first place against the trade deadline-bolstered, always dominate Tampa Rays! What's the worry?

 

[ulmax]

If Robles is hot then ride the hot
Hand .
.and get the whole team hot.

Rojas got a hr..but he is Rojas.

Not Robles .

Welp, the novelty wore off quicker than anticipated...

or maybe we DID anticipate it to happen ASAP. We specialize in letdowns.

And we host the Phillies next. We'll be glad to help them out of their slump.
