Series Thread: A's @ M's, May 23-25

[cezero]

A's have lost 4 in a row, so hopefully we can keep it going.

But Safeco, so,


All games start at 7:10

Mon, May 23
Walker (2-3) vs Hill (6-3)

Tue, May 24
Karns (4-1) vs Graveman (1-6)

Wed, May 25
Iwakuma (2-4) vs ?????????

The A's moved Gray to the DL, btw.

 

[unlvmariners]

Gray hitting the DL should help. We cannot fuck this series up. I keep thinking about the home opening series against the A's, don't get swept again!!!

 

[Podunkparte]

Game 1 will be tough. Hill has been really good this year

 

[PolarVortex]

Walker vs Hill. This game could be a scoreless tie going into the top of the 12th inning. Hill is getting away with murder. The league is going to catch up to his schtick eventually, but probably not just yet.

Well we'll probably go 3-5 in this home stand against crappy teams and then proceed to sweep Texas and San Diego on the road. So 8-5 over the next 13 is pretty decent.

 

[cezero]

really hoping to see walker avoid a big inning

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

C'MON guys.... 3 on no outs... GOTTA get something here... help Walker.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Jesus Christ.. I swear some guys just load the bases to taunt Seattle.

 

[cezero]

same as it ever was

nobody can hit that stupid curve, so it's time to start greenlighting on the first pitch. he's throwing a fb right down the middle over and over on the first pitch

 

[Anointed One]

Aoki, the rally killer, to the rescue... Or not...

Going to rely on the HR this game to score runs?

Yep. All 3 outs he did the same thing. Fastball down the middle. All 3 were just home runs waiting to happen.

 

[Anointed One]

6 hits, 0 runs through 3 innings... Gotta PRODUCE runs boys... Hitting with RISP remains our nemesis...

 

[Anointed One]

M's have scored the least amount of runs for T. Walker when he's taken the mound... 1 run per game avg...

 

[Anointed One]

WOW... Chris Taylor - 6 pitches / 2 strikeouts...

 

[SeattleCoug]

So Taylor still sucks

 

[SeattleCoug]

I figured today would be tough and Hill has looked great.

 

[Anointed One]

Ugh, 6 hits to 3 and we're losing 1-0...

 

[Podunkparte]

6 inches outside is a strike now... huh
