Series Thread: A's @ M's - April 13 - April 15

[MarinersBestFan]

Tonite just feels like a potential let down game:

shitty cold weather - 1st game back home and we are riding a 2 game win streak ( how often do the Ms win 3 in a row ? )

Oakland has been scoring alot of runs the past week of games ( double digits a few times )

leake has pitched a couple great games and may give us a semi stinker tonite

I don't like our offense with ichi-scratch in there

Hope I am dead wrong and we whoop some A's ASS.

Gut feeling Mariners lose tonite

Whoopiefuckingdoo!! Ichiro is starting tonight. WTF?
Here we go. A's with a 2 run bomb. Not in our house.....Yeah...right. Fudge!!

 

[Duders]

No reason why we shouldn't unload on Triggs tonight. Would be disappointed if we didn't take him out behind the woodshed tonight.

Thanks for making this. I hate playing the As. Always seems like no matter how crappy their are, it's a tough battle. Lollypop arm Khrys (or however she spells it) Davis likely good for a couple long balls over the weekend.

Should be seeing the return of Ben G tomorrow and maybe Nellie during the weekend, according to what I heard this morning. I will feel pretty good going into Sunday if we have Leake on the mound for the series win, but of course the chance for a sweep would be even better.

No more injuries, please!

15 of Davis' 29 career hits against the M's have been home runs.

Definitely needed more time. I really think there is some infighting with the roster moves they have to make. There is 4 spots by the Astros series they have to make.

Vogelbach...bach...bach to AAA

 

[Tapey]

Mitch Haniger is good I think

 

[Tapey]

Seager has been heating up too

 

[NWinAZ]

Mitch Haniger is good I think

Funny thing to me is he has the biggest shoulder drop for any RH I can recall...but it works for him.

 

[Tapey]

THIS SON OF A BITCH HAS BEEN BLOWN WIDE OPEN

 

[NWinAZ]

Vogelbach...bach...bach to AAA

Maybe he will stay for now...

 

[Tapey]

Well Nicasio is in, so we needed the extra runs

 

[NWinAZ]

Well Nicasio is in, so we needed the extra runs

And he was our big arm signing...

 

[Tapey]

And he was our big arm signing...

Well too be fair hes looked good against everyone else besides Davis, and Davis usually crushes us.

Just got home from the bar.

Nice to see that Robbie has really been working the count a lot this year and drawing a lot of walks. I can't recall a period in which he has been so patient in his career.

 

[seahawksfan234]

And he was our big arm signing...

Haven't been a fan of that signing. We gave him a lot of money after he was coming off of a career year. Had he pitched the way he did last year for an extended period of time, I believe it would've made a lot more sense. Prior to 2017 he had just been your sort of run of the mill long reliever.

Guy generates a lot of power despite a very straight up stance and what appears to be quite a slim frame. He's listed at 215, but he looks more like 190 to me.

Actually he hasn't. He has struggled on every outing. Even DIPoto mentioned his slow start.

Hell of a throw by Lucroy. Can't really blame Heredia on that.
