Series Thread: M's vs A's: 8/23-8/24 Butt Whoopin Thread

[MarinersBestFan]

Big 2 game win vs a quality ball club. I have been working alot in the yard and prepping for house painting so have been out of touch with Ms recent 5 games or so.

I will keep digging if they keep winning.

Like Jim Carrey said in Dumb and Dumber .... 'so you say there's a chance?'

mariners did a good job...but the 2 pitchers ..that they went against...maybe the As..worst ones..

this is good for his 1st start...i will keep an eye on him..lol..and he did not get..the loss

Chris Bassitt 40
Sean Manaea 55
Frankie Montas 47
and
Mike Fiers 50
usually do a good job on the mariners......and though's 4 are really good
and
James Kaprielian 32..seems good and has good numbers..but i dont know that much about him
this is what makes..the As..good..there pitching..

and

it is the same thing..that is..and will..make the mariners ...good..


but at position..the A's..are mostly a collection of ..free agents..and traded for guys...there minor's is not what it was a few years ago

 

[ulmax]

mariners will be deep enough...to allow..this type of thing...next year

Analysis​

Houck continues to be sent to the minors after each start as the Red Sox take advantage of the roster rules to effectively use a 27-man roster. It's

mariners would ..love..to do this...and next year...they prob can...and prob...will

possible he returns to Triple-A again after Tuesday's start, but he hasn't actually pitched at that level since July 10. He's been excellent in the majors this season, cruising to a 3.12 ERA in 34.2 innings while striking out 31.9 percent of opposing batters and walking just 4.9 percent. Jarren Duran was optioned to clear space for him on the roster.

[wazzu31]

No idea how, but since the Astros joined the AL West it seems the Mariners always beat the A’s, the A’s always beat the Astros and Astros curb stomp the M’s.

 

[SeattleCoug]

The M's might actually hit their over by September! Just need to win 4 of the next 6. Wish I would have bet that harder.

[ulmax]

my lack..of starting pitching..is what caused the situation...to start with...and at the trade deadline i had to trade..crawford..which was my ss..and taylor(LA dodgers) was my utility...but..i got a couple ss..and Drew Smyly...and i have hated that trade..ever sense...cuz my offence went down
and actually...lost me this ..important game...

but smyly...has won a game for me...so
i have to go forward....no ...choice

 

[ulmax]

but 1 of the ss..that i got in the trade..was.....

Edmundo Sosa...st louis..who..is..starting to work out for me...at mI..or back up ss/2b
im ready to dump the other one

Ernie Clement..cleve..same he is a backup.....

luckily..i picked up

Yonny Hernandez
2B,3B,SS....on a waiver wire...and i play him at ss/3b
and moved india to 2b..from 3b

so cuz clement..is not working out...i will have to pick up..1 more...ss

i have
sheffield..and
lewis...
if/or when they ever come back..team -o-tex..could be in trouble...lololololol
