Seattle Mariners @ Tampa Bay Rays Apr 26-28

Gilbert vs Wisler (opener)

 

[Hawk-Lock]

We should get an idea of where this team is by the end of this road trip. I’d be happy with 5-4. Tampa is legit.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Tampa throwing the ball around the field! I was surprised they didn't overturn the call at second base.

 

[Crizilla]

boom

 

[Threedee]

Amazing what errors can do to a team in rapid succession.

 

[sutz]

I' just glad the M's took advantage of it and scored a bunch of runs.

 

[Maulbert]

Is it too soon to say Gilbert is an ace?

.40 ERA thus far this season.

Yeah. He's getting there, though.

France is putting up MVP type numbers. He's been an rbi machine so far

 

[Sports Hernia]

SS left in Koch way too long.
Gave TB some life.

Seattle needs to add on here in the final few AB’s.

 

[sutz]

Going to the real bullpen now. Swanson in. Could use a double play.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Nice win, especially with some help from Tampa.

Ray and Gilbert could be a scary 1-2 punch in the playoffs. Always fun watching Munoz throw.

 

[Sports Hernia]

Munoz was shaky AF tonight though. Great 100mph+ fastball and great slider, but the control was a bit off.

Had to win today, with not knowing if good Marco or Bad Marco shows up tomorrow.

 

[acer1240]

For the first time in years this team feels real. Marco may be the key to the whole thing as Hernia stated. They are a fun team to watch.

 

[getnasty]

Marco has been better then you think. The M's have booted the ball around in 2 of his 3 starts. He still makes me nervous but i think he a solid 4th starter.

He has been shaky both times when he pitched in the 9th. Luckily, he has OP stuff that can usually get him past it.

Yes a #4.

Side note:

Good teams jump on errors. The Ms did just that.

Agree with you both, the stuff is there but he's gotta get a little more control over it. He's still super young though, this will be his first full season in the bigs assuming he stays healthy. That and he's coming off TJ surgery missing basically two years. I'm hopeful that as the season goes on we will start to see him dial those pitches in more and more.

 

[balakoth]

Oh boy... Time to bring Kirby up?

 

[sutz]

Hmmm, I doubt they'll go that far, but that could be a broken or chipped bone in his wrist. Sux.
