Series Thread: M's @ Royals: 4/8-4/10

Nervous bottom of the 9th. If the offense keeps going like this, there will probably be a lot of those this year. Would rather that than stop caring by June though lol.

This is a game you dont win if you arent playing a team like the Royals. You cant really expect to kick the ball around like they did and survive much. It will catch up with them eventually but 12-2 is nice regardless and no one can take that from them

Yeah that was a close one, but they're gonna have lots of other close ones as the season rolls on, winning those types of games can build confidence... It was good to see our bullpen hang on ..

What the hell

 

[Anointed One]

Incredible... What a comeback after being down, 0-4...

New slogan should be, "Forgot to Lose"... After all baseball thought they were going to have a horrible season...

 

[SeattleCoug]

These last two games have made absolutely zero sense. 13 and 2 is nuts

Conner Sadzeck becomes the sixth pitcher to get a save for the Mariners this season. That's the ultimate example of 'closer by committee'.

13-2. Unreal...

Yeah i posted roughly a week ago that I'd be curious how Servais handles the pen and that the Strickland injury wasnt necessarily a terrible thing. Gives unknowns a chance to pitch in some key spots and forces Servais to be more creative with how he uses them

Was there 2 outs in the top of the 9th when we got the triple to tie the game ? I missed the game today, saw the highlight but wasn’t sure how many outs there were...

This is the biggest surprise in sports this year, NOBODY saw the M’s starting out like this ... Hope they keep it up all year ...

Yup 2 outs and in fact, they were down to their last strike.

WOW !

 

[Podunkparte]

Which is twice in 2 days Haniger saves the game with 2 outs in the 9th. Fucking stud.

Also overlooked was the fact it was a 9 pitch at-bat. fighting like crazy. GO MS!

This upcoming series with the Astros is a message series, if the M's are for real, they gotta show it ... Astros are coming in hot, and they're 4 games behind us, knowing how important this series is .. This will be like a playoff series... I know it's early, TONS of season left, but this is a big early season matchup ...

 

[FirebreathingMonkey]

I love watching these on youtube. In case anyone missed the game. I really enjoy hearing from both team announcers.

I would love a series where punch the Astros right in their stupid fucking face

 

[Destroydacre]

Chalk one up in the "probably should have lost but somehow won" category.

Yep. With the Red Sox nursing a World Series hangover and Oakland not as good as last year, one could arguably say that the Mariners have not had a real challenge yet this year. Well, this weekend series features Verlander on Saturday and Cole on Sunday. Shit's about to get real. Miley is going tonight LeBlanc. Mariners could get this one. And Cole goes against Marco on Sunday. Might get that one too. But Saturday it is Verlander against Felix. That one looks hopeless although I'm quickly learning that it is never hopeless with the 2019 edition of the Mariners.
