Seattle Mariners vs. Texas Rangers 8/16-8/18

[RevSader]

This team is so frustrating..... AJ getting himself out after the play is over, can't get the run home from 3rd with less than 2 outs, probably lose because of a walk. Every home game so far has been hard to watch on this home stand

After the play is over? It was live.

 

[Jbear]

well it was time to get Cotts out of this game. None of these pitchers can be perfect every game. It blows that Rangers failed to work the count enough during this game to get Iwacki out of the game. He will probably get through 9 innings the way he is going.

Flat out sucks to lose this one if they do not rally somehow.

 

[RevSader]

It wasn't Murphy's fault. Of course you protect against the double

Murphy is slow. He shouldn't be in the game.

 

[jaar01]

Murphy has about 6 weeks left with the Rangers. And yes, I'm counting the days.

 

[lainey12]

Shouldn't have walked that dude after going 0-2....

He's been great, it happens

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Hard to win scoring 1 run. I don't what it is but every starter lately is like facing Cy Young award winners.

 

[Nightcrawler]

If we don't make the playoffs..... I think Murphy and kirkman need to be released. They get 90% of the blame

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Damn it, Seager and Iwakuma are major thorns in our side...so frustrating...well, two ABs to get one run...

 

[spicesadie]

Glad Iwakuma is gone....there's hope....

 

[spicesadie]

Go yard Gentry.......lol.....he did once.....

 

[Jbear]

Well Seattle manager is taking pity on Rangers by replacing Iwacki. The chance of Rangers winning improves some.

 

[RevSader]

Gotta steal. Gotta be safe too.

I'm shocked, but glad!!!

With this offense, that's ballgame. Gotta beat the King tomorrow or we lose the series. Seriously can't expect to win any games scoring 1 run. Throw in bad baserunning plus Murphy and Moreland in your lineup and its curtains. Damn. Really needed this one.

You should probably know Mitch is batting .308 over his last 8 games. Not after tonight, obviously, but he's hitting well lately.

 

[darrylgann]

No bunt, please

 

[pegasusredleg]

A's up by two second inning.

 

[fanman8825]

Well guys here is our chance with Gentry on base

 

[RevSader]

A's up by two second inning.

Don't care about them.

That's because we have a terrible offense. It's not just coincidence. We hit poorly, we don't work the count, and run the bases even worse. Thank goodness we have decent pitching. It's the only reason we are relevant this late in the season. JD needs to revamp the whole offense in the offseason, if that's even possible.

Leonys got bailed out. Have to score now!
