THATS a good hitting team.. dang

 

[Shanegotyou11]

Spanked so far.

 

[Sports Hernia]

Results as expected. That’s why they needed to take 2 out of 3 from Chicago.

 

[Sports Hernia]

The Apple TV broadcast sucks.
If I didn’t know any better just from their audio it was the Atlanta Braves playing the Atlanta Braves. …and enough with the in game interviews, they focus on the clown talking while the game is going on. I don’t need to see the asshat talk while the game is going on, hearing it is bad enough.

 

[sutz]

We knew this would be a tough series. I listened on KIRO radio.

Too early to start panicking? Playoff odds down to 99.1%

I'll be a little concerned if Braves sweep. Then we'd need to win, win, and win some more for the rest of the season. We'll see. Maybe it's time for another brawl.

 

[Bobblehead]

What we saw was a WS contender vs. a playoff contender.

First pitch today at 6:10 pm PDT

G. Kirby(6-3, 3.15 ERA)

M. Fried(13-5, 2.48 ERA)

Another tough matchup.

 

[Crizilla]

I agree with SS. It's cruel but you have to take Kirby out of the game there. M's should look to upgrade at shortstop position this offseason. We've seen other guys emerge while Crawford has not.

 

[Sports Hernia]

JP boots a double play ball, that knocks Kirby out of the game. Could be the dagger that costs Seattle the game. Kirby gets thru the 7th likely with no damage if he fields that. Bad time to decide play soccer. You cannot crap the bed against good teams and get wins, they will make you pay.

 

[Sports Hernia]

Munoz has a 103 mph fastball and refuses to throw it.
Throws it his 1st batter and likely get the K.

[Crizilla]

phew

 

[Bobblehead]

Great game.. now this is a game.. playoff atmosphere.. beauty.

 

[Sports Hernia]

Needed that win with Marco going tomorrow against that great offense.

Kirby is flat out a stud.

Swagerty is starting to look like a starting outfielder.

Swagerty is starting to look like a starting outfielder.

Feel a lot better with him playing than Winker.
Haggerty brings more skills to the table. Speed, defense, and he can hit a bit too.
