Ogando vs. Pineda Gm 1 thread!

[Ginger]

OK, Kenny here is the game thread.

Right now Mariners up 3-2 in the 2nd.

Some guy named Omar is trying to bunt.

Not the pitchers duel as expected.

Go Rangers!

 

[Ginger]

I wonder if the Rangers coaches try to discourage Hamilton from diving at the ball like he did in inning #1? I bet they all cringed when they saw that dive.

 

[Ginger]

Oh, and I just love that pom pom smiley.

 

[Ginger]

Moreland just scored.

3-3 now.

Pineda is not as sharp as he was earlier in the year against the Rangers. Still throwing the ball hard but no movement on the fastball and his location sucks.

 

[Ginger]

American Pickers is interesting today. I just love those old bicycles. Wish I did not hurt my knee a couple of months back and I could go riding in the morning. Heck, might anyway.

 

[Ginger]

Darned it. Ogando still struggling. His command is just a bit off due to the layoff. He isn't getting anyone out right now. Goodness, 5-3 now. When Seattle scores more than 2 runs you know you haven't got it on that night.

 

[kennyt12]

Ogando is just pitching like crap. He threw that pitch right down the middle of the plate!

 

[kennyt12]

Angels are now beating the Yanks! 4-1.

 

[Ginger]

Oh, my the score is now 6-3. Ogando just doesn't have it tonight. Rangers gonna win this 11-9.

 

[Ginger]

Angels are now beating the Yanks! 4-1.

Yikes!

 

[kennyt12]

I think our offense can get us back in this game though! I just hope Pineda continues to struggle.

I hope Ogando is struggling because he was just away with his wife having a baby.

 

[Ginger]

At least they have a tremendous and rested pen for days just like today.

 

[kennyt12]

Yoshi is going to get it done for us!

 

[kennyt12]

At least they have a tremendous and rested pen for days just like today.

Yeah, I agree. Our bullpen is deep and can get it done!

 

[Ginger]

Yoshi got the job done right there.

 

[kennyt12]

Our guys need to be patient the way Pineda is pitching. I hate when we come up hacking in an attempt to get back in a game.

Well, they love to hack. Team is founded upon that principle. :blabla:

 

[Ginger]

Wow! Nolan was so frank concerning Ogando's outing. That man knows pitching. I really think that the teams success can be directly attributed to his influence. Leadership is pretty darned important.

 

[Ginger]

Nolan giving some serious props to Napoli. Apparently, they were concerned about his Defense based on Scioscia but are mighty impressed with his game calling and his catching ability and how well he works with the pitchers. Maybe old Scioscia ought to lighten up.

 

[kennyt12]

Yeah, Nolan came right out and talked about the league catching up with Ogando and his need to learn a new pitch.
