Series Thread: M's @ Red Sox 6/17 - 6/19

[cezero]

M's about to face the best hitting team in the AL by a pretty substantial margin. Our pen is decimated from the road trip already, so buckle up.

Fri, 6/17....4:10p
Iwakuma (5-5) vs Elias (0-0)
Not much to look at for Elias vs. M's for obvious reasons

Sat, 6/18 ...1:05p
Miley (6-3) vs Porcello (7-2)
M's vs Rick Porcello

Sun, 6/19....10:35a
Walker (3-6) vs Price (7-4)
M's vs David Price

Looking forward to this series. Hopefully we can rise to the occasion and get back on a roll.

Important series. M's can chip away at that wildcard.
Elias getting his first start of the season.

Not very optimistic about the Miley start but who knows with that guy.

The #Mariners have recalled RHP Jonathan Aro & LHP David Rollins; placed LHP Wade Miley on 15-day DL and DFA'd RHP Steve Johnson.

Miley has a "left shoulder impingement." He was scheduled to start tomorrow.

The idea of our bullpen going up against these guys makes me shudder.

Of course it would be like our team to go in there and sweep them. The Mariners have no problem against good teams (other than Texas). It's the bad teams that they can't beat.

Who would have thunk on June 17th that the two on the active MLB rosters in the Miley/Smith trade would be Aro and Elias? Baseball is a funny game.

Miley says his shoulder has been nagging him recently, just hasn't gotten better. He's sure he'll be back as soon as 15-day SL is up.

 

[Anointed One]

Two of my favorite teams are going H2H...

 

[FirebreathingMonkey]

Man this series just feels like 8-7 games everyday, with out starters getting light-up. I hope I'm wrong, GO MS.

 

[Msfann]

Since this is the jjekyll and hyde Mariners and half of our pitchers are on the DL I expect us to sweep this series.

 

[Msfann]

We got boned on that replay, there was no proof he tagged him 100%.

Regardless, we don't need that long of a replay for a 2nd base tag for a 7-0 game... in June.

 

[NWinAZ]

7-0 in the 4th...did anyone really think it was over?

 

[unlvmariners]

Guti having a nice game! Darn near had that grand salami.

No lead is safe anymore

 

[Destroydacre]

That strike 3 call on Martin was awful.

 

[Msfann]

Every freakin game we get these Chumpires that cannot call a damn strike correctly. they may as well just get rid of the plate and call the batters boxes as part of the strike zone.

 

[Destroydacre]

Really surprised Boston didn't challenge...he looked safe at first.

And Robbie leads off the 7th with a HR!

 

[Itsmytime]

Did they really call Cruz safe? He never even touched the bag...
