I puked when I saw Morrison hitting 5th.

Why is Morrison playing as much as he is???

Rizzs doing TV tonight and tomorrow night.

Sims gone for this series.

Hallelujah!

 

[cezero]

good fucking god

 

[Tapey]

Morrison was a scratch.

Elias has been impressive so far this whole young season. His era is just above 2 and his stuff is pretty filthy. Doesn't look over matched or intimidated at all coming from AA

 

[cezero]

yeah, i agree

would be nice to see him get his first win. he deserves it.

 

[Podunkparte]

M's are 6-0 when hitting a HR. Zunino goes deep!

 

[octagondd]

Has Cano hit a double yet?

nm: he has hit 2

 

[octagondd]

There we go Condor - take your spot back.

Hello Mariner bats...lonngggg time no see!

Our pitching overall has been surprisingly good. I thought without Iwakuma and Walker we were going to have some rough spots but Chris Young has been stellar, Elias has been great, Paxton was doing well before he got hurt.

Can't wait to see how this team is fully healthy

 

[Logicallylethal]

Ackley!

 

[octagondd]

Can't wait to see how this team is fully healthy

and when the RF juggle is over. Saunders isn't the greatest thing since sliced bread, but he is better than LoMo and Romero to this point.

 

[WizardHawk]

Good time for those bats to come alive. Rangers looking a bit sloppy in the field this inning sure doesn't hurt either.

 

[octagondd]

Rangers D just blowing it

 

[Logicallylethal]

Good challenge!

 

[Logicallylethal]

Here's my thought on our offense

When we face a great pitcher or someone who just has all of their stuff going...we're likely to get shut down

But against any good to average or mediocre pitcher...we have a chance. And if someone is struggling we have the bats to take advantage

Ron Washington should know the rules by now... The catcher NEVER had control of the ball according to the rules now.
