Seattle Mariners vs Texas Rangers Series Apr 19-21

[sutz]

Rangers coming to town. If we don't take at least two from them, perhaps we're not as far along with our rebuild as we thought.

 

[IndyHawk]

Got Ray,Gilbert and Marco..I see at least 2 wins.
The hitting is coming around..Can't wait for JRod
to start hitting too.

 

[sutz]

JRod got a couple of hits against the Stros, and I like that he can draw a walk from time to time. He's doing better than JK as far as his learning curve. Once the two of them get going, sky's the limit.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Just keep winning series' and they'll be just fine. Nice to see that the offense is slowly starting to heat up as well. I like the chemistry of this team. I still think they should have added another solid starter and another bat, but that's another conversation.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Really curious to see what Ray can do. I'm ignoring his last start because of the weather.

Anything short of winning this series will be cause for concern.

 

[IndyHawk]

It's only April..

 

[sutz]

It's only April..

Which is a good time to set the tone for the season, especially against division foes.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Why do people insist on always throwing out the "it's only April" thing? or "It's early"
Well, you can only play the games that are on the schedule. Wins count the same in April as they do in September.
God forbid someone actually enjoys the season, the entire season.

Most people save those "it's only April" comments for when we're losing.

We're at .500 right now. I'd like to be above .500, but maybe that's just me.

Win 2 of 3. Texas has a amazing offense.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

That was an impressive HR by Suarez, straight away CF.

Ray looks like an ace today.

JK with another HR off the foul pole. Nice to see him finally settling in.

 

[Sports Hernia]

JK and Julio from the first pitch in the count have got to be hunting a pitch. Try to avoid 2 strike counts at all costs right now. JK’s home run was on a first pitch fastball.

More of that aggressive hitting approach please.

 

[sutz]

Toro goes yard with Julio on 3rd. 6-2 lead bottom 7. Was wondering if they could add on.

 

[sutz]

CF misplays a Crawford line drive for a triple with 2 out, bottom 8. Julio up.

Julio walks.

JK pops up. Castillo comes in to hold a 4 run lead.

 

[Crizilla]

The Wink leads the AL in walks

 

[sutz]

And Castillo closes it out. Nice start to the series.

And Castillo closes it out. Nice start to the series.

Castillo still scares the living Bejesus out of me, but he’s been solid so far this year.

Nice win for the fellas.

 

[sutz]

I know what you mean about Castillo. He's too fidgety for me. It's like he's right on the edge.

Gilbert tomorrow. Should be another good one.

The Wink leads the AL in walks

Pretty sure he also leads the AL in warning track bombs. He'll come on soon.

 

[Welshers]

Time to win the division
