[WizardHawk]

Good for JK

 

[NWinAZ]

Ouch!

 

[NWinAZ]

I missed the Teoscar missed play in the outfield to tie it. Should it have been caught?

Better question:
Can we send him back to Arizona?

Definitely

Hit him in the glove, not a routine play, but when the ball hits your glove you should always catch it.

Lost the game for multiple reasons. The final reason we lost the game ( last play of the game at home to cut down the winning run )

SUM TIM WONG WIT WONG ( again ) he charges a ball hit right to him and fields it cleanly approx 50 feet from home plate and delivers an errant throw way across Big Dumpers body, so much so he has to lunge and back hand the throw and that takes him completely out of position to tag the winning run out at the plate.

TERRIBLE defensive on a fairly routine catch and throw to the catcher to cut down the run.

He cannot hit and he cannot field very well. No idea how he runs as he is never on base.

I rest my case

Are you trying to get a suite or just seats close to the field? If you just want tickets you might want to try one of those third party venues. They have a crap load of season ticket holders that don’t go to every game and put them online. The available suites can be rented out but it is pricey but if you split it with friends it’s worth it.

I also wouldn’t recommend sitting behind home plate, the net bugs me. I’d recommend the third baseline on a Thursday, they call it Thirsty Thursday where they have cheap beer and hot dogs plus there really isn’t a bad seat in the house, I just don’t like the net. I’d stay away from the 1B side because they have a children’s park that gets annoying as hell.

I wouldn't need a suite, just tickets close to the field. Maybe I've checked the wrong sites or wrong dates, but I'm unable to find anything available at any price close to behind home plate.

Thanks for the feedback. The net doesn't seem to bother me much as I didn't really notice it when I was at a Pirates game sitting around 10 rows behind home plate. I am looking for something pretty similar to that, but there doesn't ever seem to be anything available, which makes me wonder if you have to go through something other than StubHub to get those tickets because you can get tickets to the Diamond Club at T-Mobile Park (albeit at an excessive price), on those same websites.

I just figured that the tickets are so cheap I wouldn't mind spending a decent amount on getting the best possible seat available. Wouldn't cost me much.

Matt Brash???

MORE LIKE "BELONGS IN THE TRASH!" What made them think he'd be a good closer?

Still, taking the series in Cleveland is a lot more than I thought they'd do.

Until Brash performs consistently, he'll always confuse me.

He has one of the filthiest pitches in baseball with his slider and a great fastball to set it up.

He has looked pretty fucking awful in the outfield since he got here.

I will say that I think/hope the bat will come around, but I haven't been a big fan of him out in the field. I know the Mariners want to do the whole DH by committee thing, but I'd prefer they put their biggest defensive liability (Teoscar) at DH as often as possible. I'd rather have Pollock and Kelenic manning the corners with Teoscar at DH.

I actually hadn't even heard of him before today. His career numbers are so abysmal I don't even know why he's on a major league roster.

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

He will have the occasionally really good game like he had today.

He only seems to do it about 1 of every 4 starts. There in lies the problem with him.

Correct! For a team that is supposedly taking the next step the move should have been putting Marco in the pen for long relief and pick up a FA pitcher over the winter.

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

2 opportunities to put Seawolf in to close out this game and he doesn't do it.

He must tip off his slider, because teams seem to lay off it more often than not leading to a walk

I don’t think consistency is really his thing. He was on the radio talking about how being inconsistent and walks are just a part of his game if he is going to be throwing his fastball as hard plus the filthy slider.

I still trust him over anyone not named Munoz (I know Sewald has made me look foolish but I still have zero confidence in him even though he’s proved me wrong time after time) but Brash just seems weird because is the exact opposite of what an analytics person would want I think?

Just happy Kelenic looked like a legit pro for this series.
