Series Thread: 7/29-7/31 Mariners @ Indians

[cezero]

Game 1 Lineup, Kuma Pitching, Ackley leading off.

 

[NWinAZ]

Hart batting 8th makes him one step closer to being gone. Good to see the automatic out batting 9th.

 

[cezero]

Morrison swinging looks like a fucking bobblehead up there right now. Just wild.

Hart did his infield popup thing.

Runner stranded at 3rd to end second inning.

 

[Tapey]

Is this real life?

 

[cezero]

They scored 4 times with 2 on and nobody out.

Amazing.

 

[Tapey]

The Indians LF makes Dustin Ackley look like he knows what he is doing out there.

 

[Msfann]

Can Jones get any more chew in his mouth? gross.

 

[Tapey]

another 3 hit day for Eagle Eye Ackley.

 

[AceKeptic]

5-2 final.

Now for the REAL test. Can they build off this win on the road, or is one win still their quota per series, as it's been since the All-Star Break?

 

[SeattleCoug]

Man its like they heard when I suggested an Ackley, Taylor/Miller top of the order haha. More likely scenario is that they are on the road which automatically make things better. Felix on the mound tommorrow, lets get the series and hopefully have some momentum going into Thursday after a big trade pulled off by Z!!! A man can dream right.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Boy as an advocate for bringing Morales back, he sure hasn't impressed me.

Hitting an abysmal .219/.250/.302 with only 1 HR in 43 games. I don't think he has ever struggled like this in his career.

He is 1-15 with the Mariners so far this year. Hoping he picks it up.

 

[Podunkparte]

Didn't catch much of the game other than highlights but that was a good win. Ackley is really playing well. Not just hitting everything, but his play in left has been pretty damned good overall.

Absolutely loved Seager's bunt to 3B. That's just smart against a shift and I wish more guys would do it.

Chris Taylor has looked impressive from what I've seen but I'm gonna be really patient judging his hitting. Miller looked like the runaway SS of the future when he came up last year too and then this year happened. Never know with the kids.

Good to get game 1 with Felix going tomorrow. He's looking to pass Tom Seaver for 1st on the list of pitchers to go 7+ IP with 2 ER or less in consecutive starts. Cy Young #2 is getting closer and closer

 

[gowazzu02]

Get a win tonight and thats called a winning streak!

I agree podunk, Loved that Seags took that bunt. Hes gone the other way a few times now. Hell if theres nobody on and one or no outs, why the heck not. Get on base, bump up that avg. then next series maybe they dont shift you.

Ack attack!

Side note. I didn't watch the game.... am I the bad luck guy? lol

And Last Kendrys struggles.....thats what happens when you sit out not only spring ball but the first half of the year....... DUMB not only did he cost himself the first halfs pay, now his numbers are dog shit and he wont get a contract next year.

Can Jones get any more chew in his mouth? gross.

My son said something about that but we noticed he was spitting out seeds, must've been a mouthful of seeds. Assuming unsalted, no way you could handle that many salted sunflower seeds at one time.

 

[cezero]

No lineups for tonight's game yet.

But I"m surprised by how many of the Indians have great career stats against Felix:

Dickerson, 2 for 3, HR
Brantley, 8 for 22, HR
Murphy, 24 for 78, 3 HR, 18 K
Chisenhall, 2 for 6
Kipnis, 6 for 17
Aviles, 7 for 20

 

[cezero]

M's Lineup, Felix pitching

1. Ackley LF
2. Chavez RF
3. Cano 2B
4. Morales DH
5. Seager 3B
6. Morrison 1B
7. Zunino C
8. Miller SS
9. Jones CF

and

 

[cezero]

Slider, sinker, slider, sinker, slider, sinker.

Please let Kluber start missing up in the zone, baby haysoos.

 

[NWinAZ]

Glad we can talk about Felix's record and not the fact we hit like a little girl. #TeamGame.

 

[cezero]

M's have been shut out 13 times now, and twice in the last six games.
