Gotta love the optiimism.

Hopefully, Julio can find the Crawford boxes. Often.

 

[Sports Hernia]

Yep, this is a different line up with Julio in it.

We used to play better in NY than in Seattle. Anyone recall if this has been the case with Houston?

Well, we took 2 of 3 last time we were there, but that is very recent. Not really a "trend" until we can do it this week and going forward. Mostly we have sucked in Houston for years.

Logan hanging pitches early.

Logan hanging pitches early.

His curve has not been located well.

Ty France hopefully learned a lesson on hustling after being stuck at first and then having Santana make weak contact.

I think he lost sight of the ball and thought it was going foul. At least that’s what the announcers mentioned. Yeah weird play though.

 

[Threedee]

My plea to opposing pitchers:

Please Please Please do not let Adam Frazier make contact with your first pitch! After that, do whatever you want. Just remember to put that first one well out of the strike zone. Hit the bull, even.

 

[Mizak]

Are the *stros still cheating?

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Still don’t understand why Munoz wants to throw so many sliders. Dude should throw like 90% fastballs.

 

[Threedee]

Well, now we get to test the odds of the M's scoring a run runs in an inning.

 

[Sports Hernia]

I’m not sure the Mariners have had a lead against the Asteriks in the last 4 games. I don’t expect a win tomorrow against Verlander.

They need to sit on his first pitch fastball like they did that one game in Seattle.

 

[sutz]

J. Verlander(13-3, 1.86 ERA)

R. Ray(8-7, 3.90 ERA)

Another strong pitching matchup. Hopefully we can get to Verlander for a change.

5:10 pm PDT first pitch

Ryan Rowland Smith figures that Robbie Ray was telegraphing his pitches last time we played the (shitty) 'Strohs (beer).

Hopefully they figure out what it was. But they need to Self Scout better.

On a positive note. we're so lucky to have Julio! Now if we could get another shut down pitcher!

Well apparently he is still doing it.
Hope Rizz and the fellas have some good stories to tell, as there is no polishing this turd.

 

[sutz]

Yeah, this be ugly.
