Cal is coming into his own as a hitter. He is productive in most offensive categories except BA, which is an over valued stat most of the time.CAL!
Seattle has been on the wrong end of those more times then not, over the 20+ year playoff drought.That's the kind of win that can light a fire under the team.
On the flip side, if you're Texas, that's a pretty heart wrenching loss.
That actually really annoyed me. Pitch count is a huge part of the current game, and, when it's low, you can rest your bullpen arms at the very least.Definitely getting out lucked this game. Thought SS pulled Kirby an inning too early. Only 51 pitches thru 5 and the Rangers were pretty clueless hitting wise against him.
Understand the trying to keep the innings down thing but seems like a bit of over managing there IMHO.
Yep. Bunting is a lost art and under utilized.One hell of a game last night! Holy Moly! Talking Heads seem to have forgotten that there was an important Sacrifice Bunt to move Cal to 2nd base and get him in scoring position though!
I don't care if it's "just" a bunt! It's part of the strategy, and a decision that propelled the Mariners to another improbable win!
