Series Thread: Rangers @ M's 6/10-6/12

[WizardHawk]

ok, under a 2% now that they walked the damned first batter.

Anyone else have faith in this bullpen in close games late?

 

[WizardHawk]

1% now.

FFS. Manufacture a freaking run.

 

[WizardHawk]

Fuck. 1 damned strike away from winning this series and making something of this stretch and instead now they find a way to lose it with nearly no chance of winning tomorrow and ensure they lose 5 of 6 to them over this two week stretch.

Total bullshit.

 

[Kernz]

Watching the game now in extra innings.

Top of the 9th, 2 out, 3-2, nobody on.

Cisheck throws a fastball right down the pipe and Fielder knock it out of the park.

Now in the top of the 11th with Montgomery.


I never know what to expect with this M's team, be it in a good way or bad way.

 

[WizardHawk]

Fuck texas. Fuck their fans, fuck their team, and fuck their stupid ass pitcher taking out our player.

 

[WizardHawk]

Fuck the umpires too. He was safe you dumb asses.

 

[Tech_God]

Bull Fucking Shit!!! How did those pencil necks in New York NOT overturn a bad call? Fuck the MLB! You are just as flawed as the NFL with their stupid replays!!!!

 

[Destroydacre]

Another game the Mariners should have won that they lost. Been saying that a lot lately.

 

[unlvmariners]

Painful loss.

 

[Msfann]

Aoki absolutely sucks balls at base running and was just hit in the KNEE with a pitch so lets have the next guy bunt! yeah that will work. NOT. I would rather see Edgar out there pinch running than him.

 

[Tech_God]

Really decent pitching that was NOT supported by hitting. These game happen. It just sucks that it is against a division rival that right now holds the lead.

 

[cezero]

Texas is the better team.

Hope the M's can salvage 4-6 in this 10 game stretch against teams above .500 tomorrow.

I am dubious.

The only problem I have is how the fuck did prince fielder see a pitch worth hitting in that AB? Seriously. He's a refrigerator. Just pitch around him. The only thing he's scoring on is a triple or a HR.

 

[NWinAZ]

I will say it again as I did before the game; How do you sit a guy who just hit 2 home runs yesterday and is batting over .300? Smith in LF, Cruz in RF, and Lee at DH. Go with the f'ing hot hand til it cools. Cruz won't break playing another game in the field. He is 35 not 75.

And he chases everything. Ball low and outside or at the shoulders. He can't lift the bat that high over his freaking belly!!!!

Good point... M's failed at strategy there, just walk Fielder and take your chances ... Well that doubles the Rangers lead, coulda been 2 now it's 4 ... That was a big moment for sure...

 

[Anointed One]

Texas is the better team.

True statement... We're just not there yet... It's just like getting beat up by your big brother... Texas is a legit contender for the WS, we're not...

One
Strike
Away

I'll remind everyone Texas absolutely pissed away yesterday's game to us with super bad defensive play in the 8th.

It's a game of inches sometimes. In our case, we were one damned strike away from winning it and sealing the series win. One freaking strike away.

There is basically zero chance they salvage tomorrow's game with that pitching match up so the series is a total loss and now we end up losing 5 of 6 in this two week stretch to them, but it was one damned strike short. Texas has their flaws as well.

Kyle Seager has faced 183 shifts in '16, 9th-most in MLB. Batting .183 on GB/liners against the shift, .313 on similar balls w/ no shift on.

 

[Msfann]

As usual this team goes into the fetal position and pisses all over itself when they really need to win. Same shit different year.
