2018 Seattle Mariners regular season thread

[Sports Hernia]

Boomstick goes yard, and Félix is pitching great so far and is pitching “backwards”.

The old notion that “you have to establish the fastball” is, and has always been, bunk!
You have to establish “throwing strikes”. Félix’s Fastball is below average and very very hit-able for a few years now, teams were sitting on that fastball and crushing it! Hitting is all about timing, pitching is about throwing off the hitters timing to get them out.

Altavilla protects Felix's game pitching into an inning ending DP in the 6th.

Kind of nice having a real 1st baseman in Healy. 3-6-3.

How's crap for spring Haniger doing?

How's crap for spring Haniger doing?

single and a double so far.

 

[Bobblehead]

Really hate not having Root.

 

[sutz]

Really hate not having Root.

I think it's on espn.

 

[sutz]

Oh, and Hanniger is 3 for 3 with a 2 out single bottom 7.

 

[Bobblehead]

Thanks.. figured it would be blocked out.

 

[Crizilla]

I guess Haniger really hates spring training

DIAZ COMING IN, 1 RUN GAME

 

[sutz]

OK, Diaz with his first save opportunity of 2018. I hope he's not too wired.

[Hawk-Lock]

Here we go. Diaz needs to settle down.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Classic Mariners right now. Come on Diaz.

 

[sutz]

Got the K for 2 down.

 

[sutz]

Came through at the end. Go Diaz!

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Great win. For once I'd like to see this team get off to a great start. It seems like every season we are chasing. If we get pitching like this for most of the season I like our chances.

 

[Bobblehead]

WOW@Diaz... scarier than Kaz.

 

[Crizilla]

He got robbed on one of those calls. Def was a strike

But, can't really ask for a more exciting opener than that. Take down Kluber in a close ball game. I'll take it.

 

[sutz]

Hey, we're undefeated!
