L. Evans 1-1

S. Kolek 2-0

-E. Hancock 1-2

N. Pivetta 5-2

-B. Woo 4-1

M. King 4-1

With three starters on the IL, getting dicey. Need the offense to step up, like now.

Tough tough tough series. Ugh.

Listening to 710 today and they're talking about how 8 guys from the original roster are out. Including 3 of our 5 starters. Not making excuses, but geezus, at some point it's a factor.

 

[Sperrydogg]

And the Vedder cup…. Cal didn’t know who Eddie Vedder is

 

[Sperrydogg]

Mariners need an ugly singles night

Good job Julio get ugly

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Nothing more awesome than a 5 zip lead and I can't even watch it

Yes, it sux.

I got a 50% discount on MLBtv so I subscribed for $76 after tax to watch any team and our M's for the rest of the season.

But on Apple TV I can't watch it.

Evans was really impressive tonight. He located every inning. Controlled the strike zone and didnt throw strikes when he didnt need to.. Shut down maybe the best line up in baseball.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

He had some FILTHY pitches last night. It's a trip how well this organization develops pitching. All while....well you know.

 

[sutz]

Looks like Hancock tonight and Woo tomorrow.

Solid work from Evans. Snider blew the shutout in the end, but still a solid show against the league's third-ranked.

You’d think we could parley some of that pitching into a true slugger.

Blew is such a descriptive word… he did alright three strikeouts and the run was on a squeeker down the line

Yeah let's grab Mike Trout... Nah
The Ms plan is working fine, the offense will be up soon along
with more pitching!
At that point yes, we could trade some to improve on offense.

We weren't going to the world series anyway this season, you
don't scuttle good pitching for a bat that may not work in Seattle.

I think we got a bunch of relievers again and could get something outa there

Mastrobouni batting .180 with an .180 on base in May.

Definitely getting a long leash. When do the mariners start making some adjustments. Crazy to feel like they could be doing better as they’re sitting in first place

 

[stack55]

It might be our saving grace with the Rangers playing the Astro’s.

 

[sutz]

They've been making "adjustments" all season to cover injuries. Hard to worry about the long term shit when they're just trying to keep their heads above water.

After that ugly homestand, nice to start off the road trip with a series win against a pretty good team. Not bad when you consider the first two games were started by rookies.

Rained the whole game, it seemed. Thankfully didn't affect the game seriously.

Love the late add-on runs top 9, and Muny with a 4 out save. Hope he doesn't have to do that too much this year.

All in all a pretty good game.

 

[Chapow]

For those that were recently complaining about DMo, he's been our 2nd best hitter this season behind only Polanco (who has cooled off quite a bit lately).

Definitely not understanding why Mastrobuoni is playing so much when you've got Rivas sitting there in the dugout.

Anyway, really nice bounce back series after that poor home stand. Very impressive holding the Padres to a single run in back to back games.
