Series Thread: Texas comes home to face an old friend in Nelson Cruz.

[Duane1952]

But there is so many of them on this team, Duane

Your right, looks like bunch of minor leaguers.

 

[DT LUNA]

Considering you had absolutely no help Ross, you were not that bad.

 

[DT LUNA]

Bass has been a nice surprise. Let's see if that continues.

I realize we're not hitting for squat. But Detwiler going 5 1/3 isn't going to cut it either. And it doesn't matter if he didn't give up any runs.

He was a desperation pitcher. Probably lucky to get 5 1/3.

He didn't pitch poorly though, hopefully this was a step in the right direction

Y'all can find the negative in just about anything, jesus

They made good contact. A 400ft. out also. Ross had nowhere to go but up though.

 

[DT LUNA]

Runner on 2nd w/ two outs and we fail again.

If you're satisfied with 100 pitches in 5 1/3 so be it.

He was a desperation pitcher. Probably lucky to get 5 1/3.

And probably good enough to get another start, I bet.

 

[jta4437]

I'm satisfied in the fact that he didn't pitch poorly,

He allowed a baserunner and they had Bass ready to go, probably didn't want to temp fate at this point,

I would've preferred 6 but I'll take it at this point

 

[DT LUNA]

And probably good enough to get another start, I bet.

He showed improvement tonight. Hopefully he will continue.

 

[darrylgann]

Like to see Moreland get that surgery and Blanks get called up. Not sure this has been mentioned.

Yeah he did pitch better.

And honestly, the Mariners probably have hit the ball harder against Bass in 1 2/3 with nothing to show for it, than they did against Detwiler.

We're not going to do that. That makes too much sense.

We're going to wait and he'll totally screw up his elbow, and be out for 6 weeks.

 

[jta4437]

Didn't realize Blanks was raking like he was, last I looked he was sucking it up

An interesting option for sure

The fact that Moreland has done this a couple times already make me think surgery is the best option, should probably be able to have him back before the season is over if he does it now

 

[DT LUNA]

Nice stroke Delino

 

[Justinkm83]

That's it. That's how we score. We have to score them from 1st.

See. JFC. I've never seen a team this bad night in and night out with RISP besides maybe last years team

 

[romeo212000]

Martin is smoking the ball lately. Unlucky there.

 

[RevSader]

Elvis needs to steal second.
