Nothing better than falling behind at home again to an "inferior" starting pitcher

I'm seeing a lead at home.

 

[Shane Falco]

4 run inning without the long ball. Nice.

 

[Bobblehead]

I just love Julio's enthusiasm.. such a nice change from all the other dower expressions seen.

 

[Sperrydogg]

Gained on the astros and we still got them coming. As much of a roller coaster as this has been we can still win the division. Not sure why Leo Rivas hasn’t been with this team all year…

 

[sutz]

Always good to win the first game of the series, and of the homestand. 3 game win streak. Nice.

Not sure how Naylor is so good at stealing bases, but he's 14 for 14 since he's been here. Smart and instinctual. Steals 3rd and let's Polanco hit a sac fly to the wall.

I guess some folks were expecting another football score tonight, but with Woo doing his thing going 6 strong and the leverage arms shutting them down 7-9, 4 was enough.

Was a little worried. Saw Cal rubbing his side after he ran home from 2nd in the 6th, but he finished the game.

Only took 6 innings. Falling behind to back of the rotation starters is common.

They couldn't play Rivas because they were madly in love with Mastrobouni & obviously DMo.

 

[Ruminator]

Time to win a little more -- we're only at .528 right now, a whopping 0.012 short of .540.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

These A holes are gonna' pull us back in, again
For the record, I still expect them to do what they do.......miss by a game or two.

Hope to be looking for great crow recipes. But at least they're in the mix on Sept. 9th.

Rivas was sent down when Polanco bombed at third and they moved him to second. I didn't really agree with it at the time, but it is what it is. Polo and DMo were both hot in April.

I thought the commentators would've mentioned that.

Mention what? If you mean about Cal, it was only on screen for a few seconds. Didn't hear any commentary and he finished the game. IDK, maybe he just spilled gatorade on his jersey or something.

I was on vacation for the last two weeks out of the country, only checking scores sporadically, and the last two weeks seemed like a disaster. What happened?

Nobody wants to say it, but fatigue happened. 2nd 9 game, 3 city road trip to the East Coast in a month at the end of long season.

 

[CostaRicaHawk]

When they were reviewing the catcher blocking home plate one of the announcers mentioned the umpire and Cal having contact after he crossed home plate. They did not show it in the replays, but that would be a possible reason for holding his side.

I can't leave you guys alone for a second. I go on a little trip and the Mariners lose 8 out of 11 and the Seahawks lose to the 49ers?

Was there no one mixing up the magic potion or giving offerings to the gods while I was gone? Do I have to do everything?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Not only that, Bil, the Mariners outscored the Hawks on Sunday

The M's are winning the Stanley Cup this year. Book it.
