Seattle Mariners at Chicago Cubs Preview - 04/10/2023

Projected Starters: Luis Castillo (1-0, 0.00 ERA) vs drew Smyly (0-1, 11.57 ERA)

 

[Crizilla]

Wong not in the line up thankfully. That throw home at the end of the cleveland game was atrocious. Cal had to try and swipe the tag the other way around lol. Teo and Wong have single handedly cost the team a total of 3 wins.

Can anyone tell me why Servais OK's Haggerty to swing on 3-0 count when Smyly can't throw a strike?

 

[sutz]

Nice sequence in top 4 to score the first run. Hopefully one of many. Nice AB by Pollack for a 2 strike sac fly.

 

[Chapow]

Castillo not quite as sharp, bull pen is taxed, and we have like 3 hitters in the lineup that aren't below average mlb hitters. Gonna be a minor miracle if they can somehow pull off a win here.

 

[Bobblehead]

Smyly with like a plus 7 era looks pretty good.

 

[Bobblehead]

That was the best thing I've seen all day. happy happy happy.

 

[Chapow]

Maaaaaassshhhhed

 

[Crizilla]

99 problems but Kelenic ain't one

Total joke so far in every phase of the game. Time to take a break.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Bases loaded with one out in extras and couldn’t score.

Baseball is frustrating.

ERA is pretty meaningless this early.

ERA is pretty meaningless this early.

Especially to the Mariners.

 

[Jerhawk]

Another gut punch of a loss. I can't take it anymore.

But I will because I'm a Mariners fan

 

[seatownlowdown]

what a shot that was. nice to see him mash a curveball

 

[getnasty]

Ty France up with the bases loaded, 1 out and can't get it done. Can't really ask for much more then that.

 

[Chapow]

4 of their 7 losses were by 1 run. Another one was by 2. These are really close games. Which just makes it even more frustrating that they didn't do a little more in the off season. They could very easily be 7-4 or 8-3 instead of 4-7 if they had picked up another bat or two.

can i ask for a new SS and 2B?

 

[Bobblehead]

Does anyone think Kelenic has an issue with Jrod? I notice that everytime kelenic does soemthing good.. Jrod will greet him like he does everyone, but, damn, Kelenic, just like ignores it.. goes on to HI5 others... strange.

You can ask, but we only like replacement level players at those positions around these parts.

Haha

I was noticing the same thing.

I could be way off the mark here and this is only my opinion, but I think that Kelenic is jealous. He probably thought the team would be his, and now it's Julios. He is probably jealous of that big contract while Jared still makes small money compared to Julio.

I thought that last year, but this year with his awakening so to speak, I figured he'd be over it. It's troubling, if we see it.. you bet everyone else does as well and that cant be good. Jarred doesn't have the right yet to be pompous.
