Oakland falling flat on their face.

I'm going to be sick to my stomach if the Angels win the division.....

Justin Masterson, Y U So Shitty?

Weird, who could've predicted that...

Justin Masterson, Y U So Shitty?

To be fair, he was starting a game against seven lefties and he has pretty ridiculous splits.

He's been awful so far but that didn't help. Would have rather see him go against the Brewers or maybe the Pirates.

 

[eznark]

Brewers lit him up in his first start as a Cardinal if I recall, but yeah he did seem like an acquisition meant solely for the Brewers.

Guy I radio is complaining that baseball games are too short. Days he gets more baseball for money in a 5 hour game than a 2 hour game

At this point, why not call up Lyons? Get a lefty in the rotation. Can't do any worse.

 

[jakncoke]

So we sent Polanco down for the last week of AAA to help protect us against Super 2, I know he struggling lately and against lefties as a whole this season, but goddamn penny pinching shit ownership.

I think he probably gets one more start before expanded rosters at which point it doesn't really matter. He may not even get that because his next start is a double header so they can call up Lyons anyway.

I think that he could potentially be a good ROOGY down the stretch and maybe in the playoffs. That's probably his future in the majors anyway.

Why even do that? I'm sure he'll remember that once he gets to FA.

I dunno tbh, He already turned down a deal rumored to be in the 65 million range if all options were exercised.

John Lackey throws 62.7 percent of his fastballs outside or on the outside part of the strike zone, which is the highest percent among qualified pitchers. Josh Harrison has a .369 batting average against fastballs in that zone, which is sixth among qualified hitters this year.

Anyone know the top 5?

Wish granted. Sort of.

Molina and Wacha headed to Springfield to begin their rehab assignments.

Wacha! I really hope he avoids the nickel-and-dime injury treatment that McCarthy went through when his stress reaction hit. The last couple of months have shown that this injury isn't a career-ender in terms of the latter's success in NY. I'm really just praying he's the same pitcher. And even if Yadi hits .200 just having him there to stop the running game will be huge in and of itself.

 

[jakncoke]

Finally Nix is DFA , fucker was batting .111

 

[Dominican Power]

Another DP for Jeter.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

wtf Escober, just shove that to Infante

 

[jakncoke]

Jhayy hustle

El Turroo!

 

[cashman]

Darvish and Choo are going to be out for the rest of the year.

 

[cashman]

 

[rando14]

Darvish and Choo are going to be out for the rest of the year.

I bet the M's will still drop the series against Texas though

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

killer swings. my favorite swings time to recreate it on the show!

 

[jakncoke]

Darvish and Choo are going to be out for the rest of the year.

Race to 100 players used.

Don't worry! Mariners will win the division!

I bet the M's will still drop the series against Texas though

Watch us get swept by Texas and then go 2-1 against Washington

 

[Dominican Power]

Difference is Sheffield only struck out 10% of the time for his career and walked more than he struck out. You can't be a free swinger and not make contact at a high clip.

 

[jakncoke]

Liriano locked in tonight. We need to score some runs ffs though

 

[Dominican Power]

Ellsbury pulls the ball way too much.

 

[Sealion88]

Ellsbury pulls the ball way too much.

Kevin Long way, dont hate.

 

[jakncoke]

Here we go..

DOUBLE PLAY!

Yeah but Baez is only 21. I'd give him some time. Rizzo had some of the same troubles when he was coming up.
Worst comes to worst he's a 35 HR 2B.

You mean Dan Uggla.

Sigh

And there goes it.

EAD Royals

I've lost count of the amount of leads our bullpen has blown.

That's the difference between this season and the last.

Yep, We surpassed last years number in like early June.Its just like fuck. And here Justin Wilson just pitched a 8 ft fall fastball

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Tim Lincecum moved to the bullpen.

[matthewwhatever]

Awww, EE inches away from winning the game with a walkoff blast. So close.

this statement easily fits us as well, Rosenthal, Siegrist, and others have lost command and become very hittable

 

[jakncoke]

Cutch!!!

 

[Little Green Yoda]

smh Rosenthal

 

[Little Green Yoda]

3 of those could've been strikes according to Gameday wtf ump

 

[RGVNOE]

smh Rosenthal

he's been very hittable and lacking command, dont know how much more Matheny needs to see him struggle to realize he should remove him from this role

 

[jakncoke]

Just missed it sigh

 

[Little Green Yoda]

he's been very hittable and lacking command, dont know how much more Matheny needs to see him struggle to realize he should remove him from this role

Losing command and velocity simultaneously is never good. I just hope he isn't hurt and is fixable. Even if he gets removed from the closer role, we still need him as an integral part of the bullpen. Especially if C-Mart knocks Masterson out of the rotation.

 

[aFIGurANT]

If he keeps getting that changeup over for strikes let him do his thing. I would hate to see the Boggs thing happen to Neshek, too. That kind of weird shit happens just often enough to make you think is my perspective.

 

[Fox318]

Look at the knee and ankle.

Dat expensive bullpen pitcher.

yea I know we need him, it's just frustrating to watch at times, and have never felt the lead is secure with him coming in this year, reminds me of Izzy's last days here, he always made it interesting at the end

 

[Chris R]

Night off to a terrific start already. FFS Mariners, get your shit together.

 

[The Elite]

Jays please.
