Series Thread: We graduate to a two game series with the Reds here, 6/21 & 22

Cruz just tied the M's and Tigers game at 4 w his solo HR. Wilhelmsen is coming in to pitch now for the Mariners, watch him shut down the Tigers after pitching like shit for the Rangers

Cruz hit two solo shots and Martin hit one......And frigging Wilhelmsen went 1 inning, gave up a hit and no runs.

It happens. Apparently going to Seattle made Leonys a power hitter.

yep hit #11 today but it appears he just GIDP in the 9th

I'd be mindful to keep Ramos available for long relief during the games Martinez starts, as he still hasn't quite figured out how to not get shelled the third time through a lineup.

You're being generous with "the 3rd time through the order."

It wouldn't surprise me at all to see us see what happens from our temporary internal parts, plus see how the injury recovery is working as well, between now and the AS break. Then adjust from there.

M's with a runner on third, 1 out. Can't score.

Tigers walk it off on a wild pitch.

Mariners lose 5-4 in Detroit on walkoff wild pitch. Sixth straight loss, under .500 (36-37) for first time since April 24.

The #Mariners fall in the tenth inning to the #Tigers. FINAL: 5-4. They're back in Seattle tomorrow to face the Cardinals.

Mariners 5-15 since their last day in first place. Fall below .500.

Mariners have lost 9 straight one-run games. Go 2-8 on road trip. First four-game series sweep by Tigers since 1980 (in 27 4-game series).

Well some morons like to say we are lucky partly because of our record in 1 run games. So I guess they are unlucky. Like that old saying goes I would rather be lucky than good. But I think we are good as well.

Boston in extra innings which is nice for us.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Tepesch will be pitching for the Dodgers on Friday against the Pirates.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Kimbrel pitched 2 innings and threw 32 pitches so he should be out for tomorrow's game.

wow... CWS w/ based loaded no outs and failed to score.

Been reading your comments and thoughts all day. I think if JD is going to seek a pitcher we will certainly hear something very soon. Time is not on our side. I don't feel quite as worried as some do b/c of our lead and the fact that M's and Stros probably won't play well enough to gain significant ground. We have three capable SP and Nick can have a decent day on occasion. It's after Nick that concerns me most only if JD doesn't come through.

I hope Perez really gets after it with his command. He has the stuff. AJ we will watch and hope that he holds up. He knows how to pitch it is just his durability. We are not really sure how Nick will do and you are right about the 5th spot. But we do seem to have that "it" factor going for us right now. Must be tough for Houston to go 8-2 and not gain any ground.

Just wanted to congratulate you guys on your sweep of the Red Sox. This team sucks ass right now.
