Series Thread: Rangers comes to town: Mariners Vs Rangers 5/28- 5/31

As good as May ended up being, June looks like it could be a very very different story.

I really don't like Altavilla. At least he only gave up 1. Could have been worse.

 

[WizardHawk]

For the love of baseball... Blowpen trying really really hard to live up to their name.

 

[SeattleCoug]

We just can’t break a game open when given the chance.

 

[NWinAZ]

Altavilla + Rzep + Cook for a bag of balls half a bag of balls.

 

[SeattleCoug]

if you aren’t gonna left him face Profar then bring in Nicasio. Now Nicasio is coming in with the bases loaded instead of one on

 

[WizardHawk]

I mean I'd take one fun month of baseball over none, but M's looking a lot more like the M's last night and tonight.

 

[Destroydacre]

Chance to catch the Astros 2 nights in a row and the bullpen blows chucks against one of the worst teams in the league. Ugh...

 

[NWinAZ]

Did Dumb Ass Servais tell his bullpen that Texas is last in hitting with RISP? Because they are throwing flat balls right down the middle IF they throw a strike. Welcome back my Mariners of 41 years.

 

[NWinAZ]

Hey DIPoto, time for another podcast telling everyone how great you are.

 

[WizardHawk]

Any more late inning heroics? Or has that shipped sailed?

 

[Cloud]

2 nights in a row this bullpen allowed 9 men to the plate and a crapload of runs to give up the lead.

Yup. That sounds like the Mariners I know.

 

[Cloud]

That don’t look like a last place team at all.

 

[WizardHawk]

That don’t look like a last place team at all.

I mean give us a month and we will.

Oh, you weren't intending to talk about us I take it?

 

[WizardHawk]

Any more late inning heroics? Or has that shipped sailed?

Would appear that's a negative.

 

[unlvmariners]

Altavilla + Rzep + Cook for a bag of balls half a bag of balls.

1 ball?

 

[WizardHawk]

I mean they didn't roll over and play dead, so there's that?

 

[Msfann]

At least they didn't lose any ground to the astros (trying to be positive)

Little annoying things.

Pulling Paxton at under 90 pitches after 5. Its tall order to ask a Diazless bullpen to cover 4 innings. Maybe on nights hes not available you push your starter a little more?

Twice on singles to the outfield we tried to gun a guy out at home instead of hitting the cut off guy. It didn't hurt us in the 6th but it did in the 7th. Hold Mazara at first and maybe you don't have to walk Profar and things turn out differently.
