Go Ms!

 

[Threedee]

Time for some bat flips.

Time for some bat flips.

Well, it does appear the offense is heating up.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Going up against Kikuchi today.

 

[Threedee]

Going up against Kikuchi today.

My old crowd chant for him was: I say "GO!" Yousei Kikuchi!!

 

[sutz]

First pitch coming up!

 

[sutz]

Looks like we got good Yousei tonight.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Looks like we got good Yousei tonight.

And of course we make him look like an ace.

No idea why we have Toro leading off. Bases loaded one out and can’t even get a run in. Outside of the two HR’s, Flex has looked great. And once again he’s gotten barely any run support.

 

[sutz]

Top 9. Ugh, what a stinker this has been.

M's make a little noise in the 9th, but drop the game 6-2.

 

[sutz]

Another dead offense game. Getting some guys on base, but can't bring them home. A lot of hard hit balls right at guys. Marco on the bump tomorrow.

 

[Shanegotyou11]

Boooooring. Sigh. I hate it.

 

[sutz]

Got a few hits in the first, but should have scored more than 1 run. Marco looking pretty sharp so far.

 

[sutz]

I swear to god the umpires hate the M's. They just walked in the tying run on strike 3.

 

[sutz]

Raliegh goes yard top 5 for the 2-1 lead.

And France is gimpy. Not sure why.

 

[sutz]

After 6, and Marco has only given up 1 run.

 

[sutz]

Top 7, Frazier on first, France goes yard for a 4-1 lead.

 

[Welshers]

This team is such a joke.

 

[sutz]

Castillo to close out the bottom of the 9th. Just walked the leadoff guy.

 

[sutz]

Well, they get the getaway game 5-1. On to the BoSox.
