Alright fellas, time to put yesterday in the past and move on to winning back to back series with the Yanks coming in. Here's the lineups for game one:

Im hoping the M's can take this series. It would be awesome for the Nats to take some games from Baltimore too.

If they don't, they the Yankees gain ground on the M's... They're only a few games behind us, which is another reason we need to walk away winning this series...

We need this series. I love our 2 through 6 line up. Lot of punch there after the meat of the OBP lineup.

Zunino has been killing it since his call up as well... really hoping he's good to go now. Leading the Ms in OBP. Think he had a bit of Javi Baez in him. Stop trying to tag everything out of the park and wait for some good pitches. Be patient at the plate and tone down how hard you're swinging.

Cody Martin sounds like a NASCAR name or a country music singer. Hopefully he's on his game tonight.

They made it sound like Walker may be pitching tomorrow as I was listening to 710 on the way home.

BAM! That was awesome!

There are two guys I cringe when I see warming up in the bullpen. One of them is Vincent and the other is the bartender

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Jesus Martin. How about you allow another home run? You only need two more to tie the AL record.

Zunino is looking great since coming back up, unexpected bonus this year.

Yep. He's played fantastic! What I really love is his SO to BB ratio is significantly improved. I think he's being much more patient at the plate and waiting for good pitches and looking for walks. Lot of times these guys need coaching and someone to tell them to let the home runs just come on their own. The power is there, just look for good pitches and stop trying to crank it out of the park 24/7... that will come on it's own naturally.

Cody Martin is the kind of pitcher you're never comfortable with regardless of the score

 

[obxyankeefan]

That was a helluva catch.

Not when you're giving up home runs like that. Yeesh.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Wow nice one Cano. Phew. Seattle's infield (at least with Seagar/Cano) is incredible. Makes me think Vogelbach (if he can work out some AAA issues) might be able to play 1st for us considering with those guys we don't need a ridiculous defender at 1st base to save errors.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Not sure I understand that steal at all...

Cano going against a right handed mediocre reliever. Only thought is the Ms are hoping to get into the bottom with the 3-5 order Cano/Cruz/Seagar up.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

God damn, I thought that was gone. Right when Roby hit it I said, "That's gone." Damn... only about 15 feet short.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Now THAT is gone. Way to clean up for Roby, Nelly! w00t!

*edit* Jesus Lind... we gotta do something about this goof. Hopefully Vogelbach turns out to be the prospect he was shaping up to be in Chicago.

*edit x 2* well way to go Lind. You did man shit. Hopefully Zunino can pound another one out of the stadium.

*edit x 3* WTF was that BS strike call?

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Alright c'mon Diaz... need this save!

*edit* Oh god....
