[seattlefan75]

today will be a great game with felix and darvish pitching

 

[cezero]

damn, not going to see a no hitter tonight from either pitcher

 

[Tapey]

Great start for Franklin.

 

[cezero]

FRANKLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tapey]

And than justin comes up and smoaks it up.

 

[cezero]

i'm a little shocked we scored there

zunino has been hitting just fine

 

[Tapey]

Zunino with the RBI single.

 

[Tapey]

More 2 out runs though.

 

[Tapey]

Almonte with an RBI and more 2 out runs.

 

[cezero]

light him up

 

[johnfree63]

Miller needs to sit a day or two. Just hacking.

 

[Tapey]

I find it funny that we could barely touch Robbie Ross, but seem to be doing fine against Darvish.

 

[johnfree63]

I still think Miller is good but he has an awful approach right now.

 

[SeattleCoug]

Miller needs to sit a day or two. Just hacking.

agree 100%. With Franklin up theres no reason not to give him a day now.

 

[johnfree63]

Felix is the best pitcher in the game. Just filthy right now.

 

[Logicallylethal]

There's no question who the best pitcher in the game is. Imagine if Felix got to pitch in the NL where he got to face pitchers 2-3 times a game.

 

[WizardHawk]

Ah crap, don't bring in the bush!

 

[Logicallylethal]

Ah crap, don't bring in the bush!

I second that!

Either leave Felix in for the 8th or bring in Farquhar then Rodney

 

[WizardHawk]

Anyone else have a bad feeling about this?
