Mariners (39-37) @ Twins (37-40) Jun 23-26...

[Goldfinger 007]

Bags packed early for the franchise...... Let's hope he can come thru here

 

[Goldfinger 007]

SAC fly works

 

[Chapow]

Yikes. Quite the meltdown from Castillo. That's unfortunate.

 

[Azvacar]

Was it this thread or the Cubs thread.... someone said "Is it me or does julio not even look at the ball when he swings etc" Was on my phone couldnt respond

But Ive been saying this to my wife for the last 2 months LOL.. so whoever said it.. I'm on your side.

Swinging at straight down the middle or low pitches but hes looking at the outfield even in the slow mo replay.. no eye on the ball what so ever....

What our coaches use to harp on us in freakin tee ball basically. Watch the ball not the destination...

 

[Azvacar]

See.... I expect it... it happens to him... constantly.. but NORMALLY its "spread out" so it doesn't end up stinging as bad. This was full implosion from him from the standard couple inning gaffe

 

[Azvacar]

Side note... Solano............... I wanted Naylor... but... wtf? lol

And i miss Trammel

I know I harp on him swinging wildly at any & every thing to include pitches that HIT him and/or bounce in the dirt 6 inches in front of the plate. Obviously there's the constant waving & missing at the slurve going down & away. His lack of pitch recognition is alarming. It's fine for a #6 or #7 hitter.

 

[Crizilla]

Why cause they hung on to solano and he showed up?

I was joking. The line up is better with less D-Mo and Tellez.

Yeah they pretty much use d-mo as a pinch runner now

 

[Chapow]

Sure was nice to see Julio come through with a sac fly in the top of the 9th to score the go ahead run.

Hate seeing cal get walked and arozarena k

 

[Sperrydogg]

Muni and brash were nails

We're going to be seeing a lot more of that in those types of situations going forward.

 

[sutz]

Julio with the game winning sac fly.

Gutsy win. Bullpen has been awesome for a while now. Brash has still not given up a run this year.

Got the series split in the bag. 2 games to go. Heluva road trip so far.

Makes you wish they could play all their games on the road. (Not really)

D-Mo with the speed and still a great utility guy.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Doesn't matter how it looks, W

 

[Goldfinger 007]

Absolutely. And less Mastrobouni, as in he is no longer the automatic fill in somewhere everyday.

He's heating up.
3....2.....1......

Even when he contributes.....we hear this rubbish. Again. That is a ridiculous take, even for dot net. You actually believe he doesn't look at the ball?? That's even worse than a take from the dude I put on ignore. Glad I stopped by.
Thanks for the laugh. This is a blast

/sarcasm

 

[Steve Hawk]

They are going to have to do something about the 4 hole pretty soon, Cal is going to start seeing a lot of BB's from here on out if they dont.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

No doubt about it. The Bonds treatment.
