Series Thread: M's vs. O's August 10-12

[unlvmariners]

Well I had the 2 right, just thought our starting pitcher would be worse. Still, it sucks a lot less when you lose and you expected it to happen.

Luckily I never expect them to win anymore so its always a nice surprise when they do win.

Whooo-hoo, just turned the game on and we're not losing yet!!!!

 

[blstoker]

No Cano at second, Miller forced to hold too long...

 

[blstoker]

And now done 2....

You jinxed them...

C R U Z ! ! !

Gotta admit, Jones gave that a great effort... Him putting himself in position to make the play was impressive...

 

[Anointed One]

T - R A M B O... First Blood II

They just said that JJ Hardy has hit .195 at Safeco for his career - so does that me Jack will trade the farm for him?

That would be Brendan Ryan II

... If only Zunino could hit for that average...

 

[Anointed One]

M's finally get the best of Tillman at home...

 

[Anointed One]

I'll be really surprised if Zunino strikes out his 2nd straight time...

 

[Anointed One]

Wow... I am surprised...

... he's also 0-24 in his last 24 AB's...

Cano 3-3, bringing his average up to .269 - is there enough time for him to get back to .300?

He'd have to keep up his ungodly pace that he's on right now. He has sustained some great hitting for a while now, so there is a possibility.

He has been hitting .333 since July 1, but if he maintains this pace (and gets 4 AB/G for the remaining 48 games) he'll hit .289 for the season. So - I guess he'll have to pick it up even more.

I guess this is what happens when you hit sub .240 for the first 3 months of a season.

 

[Anointed One]

Question is, when is Seager going to live up to expectations? Or is he doing so already?

I'd say it's pretty unlikely then.

Good defense and a good bat, I don't think anyone expects him to be a superstar. Just 20-25 HRs with a .260-.270 BA.

I'd like to see him be more patient at the plate though.
