Series Thread: Royals @ M's; June 22nd-24th

[unlvmariners]

what the fuck is happening right now

I'm not sure... the bases were loaded with less than 2 outs so I turned the game off because I know that means it will be strikeouts to end the inning.

 

[cezero]

they just used up their quota of good at bats with RISP and less than 2 out for the next week, at least

that was just fucking weird to watch

 

[unlvmariners]

So we got 3 runs??? Great that means shut out the next 2 games at least.

Nice home run by Ackley, now get rid of his ass.

 

[SeattleCoug]

Ackley is now 9 for 13 with three bombs of Guthrie. Maybe try and trade him to an AL central team.

Yeah he is having a nice day at the plate... The bad thing about that is now Jack Z has an excuse to keep him for 4 or 5 more seasons lol

He crushes Guthrie. not a bad idea to trade him to AL central team.

 

[Anointed One]

Mike Montgomery has been an absolute stud since he's been called up... He's honestly, arguably been our best starting pitcher since he's been called up...

 

[Anointed One]

Again, I have no idea why Austin Jackson is our #2 hitter... Seth Smith be our #2 hitter in this lineup... Put A. Jackson at #8 or 9...

 

[SeattleCoug]

Good for Montgomery. That had to feel great against the Royals of all teams.

 

[NWinAZ]

I have seen where they have turn back the clock uniform nights, but I have never watched a game where they switched uniforms. That was fun.

 

[unlvmariners]

I completely agree. Even though KC typically performs better against RHP. I have a bad feeling Montgomery gets shelled today and Guthrie makes Mariners hitters look like the turds that they are.

WRONG!!!!

Royals strikeout the least in MLB by a wide margin. Mike Montgomery is the 1st pitcher to hit them with double-digit K's this year

 

[unlvmariners]

Mike Montgomery, nice job today. Very impressive performance.

#Mariners Mike Montgomery is first pitcher to throw CG shutout w/ 10+ Ks and 0 BB within first 5 career starts since Wood's 20-K game in '98

Whoa.

 

[NWinAZ]

I was impressed before I read that. Whoa is about right after reading it.

 

[DunceKaep]

just saw that montgomery played with a bunch of current royals back in the minors

i predict his worst outing of the season

I completely agree. Even though KC typically performs better against RHP. I have a bad feeling Montgomery gets shelled today and Guthrie makes Mariners hitters look like the turds that they are.

ooooops.

Right NOW, today.....it appears JZ made a great trade.

 

[cezero]

ooooops.

very happy i was wrong

montgomery has been a really nice surprise, as i've said in a few different threads

 

[NWinAZ]

Love what he is doing, but 5 starts does not make a career. Dave Fleming won 17 games his rookie year and two years later couldn't be found. Hoping this isn't the case, but too early to judge.
