ALDS - Seattle Mariners at Houston Astros Oct 11-17

[CallMeADawg]

M's take the lead! 2-1 lets go!

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Pretty wild series of events there. Glad the Santana base running blunder didn’t hurt us.

Really like our LF platoon of Kelenic and Moore. So much better than depending on Winker.

 

[Chapow]

HUGE hit from Moore there to get Haniger home with 2 outs.
Way to be ready to hit.

 

[Chapow]

Outside of the HR, Castillo looks great. If we can get 3 runs from the offense we can win this game. Unfortunately, Valdez is tough and he may shut us down.

Come on M's!

Castillo is a stud, but that Astros lineup is so stacked I'd be surprised if 3 runs is enough.
Plus, we're almost certainly going to have to go to the bullpen at some point, and honestly, they've all had their struggles lately.

 

[SonicHawk]

I don't blame Santana on that, the ball bounced back perfectly.

 

[SonicHawk]

Outstanding at bat by Moore.

I’m curious to see how Servais uses the pen today. Will Munoz be available. If he does, I believe that will be 4 appearances in 6 days.

Will we finally use Swanson?

Doubt we use Sewald, doubt we use Ray.

Does Boyd come in if we need to get Alvarez and Tucker out?

Maybe we see Murfee or Diego Castillo.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Man we needed to make that catch in shallow center field. Can’t pitch to Alvarez anymore. Just pitch around him.

 

[fenderbender123]

Throw a 100 mph fastball at his face next time.

 

[Bobblehead]

Alvarez 2 M's 0

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Throw a 100 mph fastball at his face next time.

No, but we can walk him or pitch around him.

 

[Chapow]

Please stop pitching to Alvarez. It's ok to admit that he's just too good to pitch to. Take your chances with the guys behind him.

 

[fenderbender123]

No, but we can walk him or pitch around him.

Hitting him in the face is a walk.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Hitting him in the face is a walk.

But that’s dangerous. For one, you can hurt the guy. Two it’s pretty dirty. Three, they will throw at Julio or one of our other big name hitters.

That would be as bad as what Phil Nevin did to us. You don’t throw at a guys head for hitting two HRs off us.

Sorry but I disagree with you on this.

 

[fenderbender123]

Well you gotta make it look like an accident...

Let Castillo go until his arm falls off.

I hate to say it, but at this point I don't have much confidence in anyone coming out of the pen.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Man I thought that was a HR when it jumped off Kelenic’s bat.

 

[Bobblehead]

bad call on Cal

 

[Fudwamper]

Man behind the plate is having a pretty wide zone for the last 3 innings

 

[Sports Hernia]

That’s ballgame!
