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

It's been a different summer than normal.

It's been all year. I think the renovations changed the park.

Can he sing that any slower?

Kinsler. wow. just wow. I don't know which is worse...Murphy ground out to 2nd or Kinsler popout to whomever. I see those things in my sleep.

Perez got through 7! God bless America!

Give the kid some props. He was obviously missing his best stuff and made the necessary adjustments. Pretty impressive for a kid in his early 20's. how long did it take holland to learn to do that?

Jet stream usually flies out to right/right center and we don't have big left handed power bats hitting balls that direction.

But Seager and Scooter Gennett are big power bats? They seem to be able to pull it off?? I hear ya, we can't expect as many HR's as we used to get, but something more than once a week would be nice!

You're not really putting those two on the same plane are you?

Kins and Soto has kept this game close.

You can tell the jet stream effect has all but disappeared.

Do we have anything to back it up? I'm not in disagreement, just think it's interesting

He did a good job tonight. Like what we are seeing out of him this year.

Anybody can hit a home run on fastballs grooved down the middle :p

ESPN park factors....

Just my eye test, but I've seen several balls hit to right or right center that I expected to carry that just didn't, and kind of died.

I think part of it is we are not having the extreme heat as in past summers. Usually it is in or around the 100's for over a month.

there ya go Mitch, now Soto will K

lol

 

[pegasusredleg]

Ok decisions for the 8th. Cotts with two LHBs coming up and a switch hitter. Frasor or Soria should be warming at the start of the inning since Cotts pitched 22 last night.

 

[bradw516]

Mitch looking much better tonight. Couple of good walks, hard hit single in a 1-2 count.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Capps has an ERA over 5 and hitters bat over .300 against him...even we should be able to take this guy...

 

[WTXRangerFan]

Frozen stick Soto may just walk. Lol
