Series Thread: Mariners Roadtrip: 4/19 - 4/25

[cezero]

gonna lose 2 of 3 to one of the worst teams in baseball.

this is the real m's.

 

[WizardHawk]

Didn't wait long to give up game 2. Going to lose the series to a horrible Rockies team.

But they haven't reached game 40 yet so it doesn't count.

 

[Anointed One]

Why is France hitting 4th and Raleigh 3rd? Polanco 5th?

Makes no sense

It's simple baseball strategy, Anointed. Frankly I don't understand it at all...

 

[cezero]

jumped the gun i guess. i'll put myself in the no-post penantly box for the rest of the game as punishment.

JP's 426' bases clearing triple.

The baseball Gods of the cosmos just really have it out for the Mariners.

Chase Field in Phoenix is not new. It’s like 25 years old. It just got renamed, used to be the B.O.B ( Bank One Ballpark )

i’ve been there a few times, even though it’s old it’s a pretty nice looking ballpark

I have been to both B.O.B and Chase Field. They looked real similar.



Me in the dugout of either Chase Field or B.O.B. way back in 2009?

All on Stanton. Baseball Gods don't like a liar!

Hancock didn't trust France to catch the foul ball. Knocked him out of the way and caught it himself...lol. France look mad.

 

[AceKeptic]

And look at the score now...

You'd swear Hancock wasn't even part of the equation tonight.

I hate Ty France a lot less than all of you lol.

Pitcher needs to get the fuck out of the way if an infielder is calling it. Period. Hancock's a dumbass. It was his ass on the floor. France looked more like "well kid, that's what you get".

 

[WizardHawk]

Back to .500. Won the series even if they played badly in their earlier loss.

See how the next series stacks up. Rangers are a good test.

 

[cezero]

I haven't watched pregame/postgame content in a few years. What's up with Brad Adam I wonder? I've never liked him much, but he's always been pretty articulate....but he seems to have trouble talking this year. Gets lost mid-sentence and has crazy eyes. I mean, Bill Kreuger's been like that for a decade, but I think there's really something off with Mr. Adam.

Oh crap really? I thought it was made after TMobile.

Just my personal preference is it ugly inside. They could’ve done a crap more than make everything on camera look hideous. My memory was it wasn’t bad behind the stands, but everything from foul poles was either vacant, dumb, or a stupid frat party pool. While TMobile has their frat area, at least for the most part it is hidden or the most attractive get to push to the front of the line in LCF.

Hahaha! - that was funny

Most of you know, I am one of the: ‘not a fan’ of Ty France.

But cezero is 100% correct. Every single pitcher in all of major-league baseball, has been instructed and taught multiple times throughout the years to yield to any and all other position players in the event of a pop fly ball to the infield.

It’s quite possible I’m a little bit jaded when it comes to Chase Field simply because the handful of times that I’ve been to it throughout the years when it was bank one ballpark and then became renamed Chase Field. I’ve been on vacation down to the Phoenix Scottsdale area with a group of 8 of my best buddies, and we were doing nothing all week except for: playing baseball, going to that large casino, or golfing in North Scottsdale at some of the nicest golf courses on the planet

And typically at least once during our week trip down there around memorial day we would catch a game if the Diamondbacks happen to be playing at home

Maybe it just seemed a little bit nicer ballpark to me to have my best friends with me there laughing joking, watching a game drinking beer and playing grab ass

We Gravitated towards sitting in the club area seats, which were one level above the field level seats, simply because it was easier and faster to get more beers sitting there.

I wasn’t referring to the look of the ballpark from the outside either to be honest I never really even noticed much other than walking in the door. I was kind of referencing my viewpoint of the Ballpark from its amenities inside and amazing to me that they could keep the damn thing air condition, such a huge amount of millions of cubic feet of air. A lot of natural light came into it also from the way it was designed.

I would have both of them hitting 8-9 in the lineup if we had seven normal major-league hitters that we could bat 1-7

 

[ulmax]

Rangers had a 556 last year..(win..pct )..
And went to.world series..

That puts Jedis comments ..in perspective. .it's baseball....
Not basket ball..or football.

Rangers won. 55 pct..

Yeah, I did preface it with my personal preference. No idea how a park in Phoenix could look to fit my personal liking but I think it’s the same thing with the new Rangers ballpark
