Out

 

[Maulbert]

WTF was that ump watching? Garbage call. Good challenge.

 

[Sports Hernia]

Horrible give away AB by Rojas, took 3 strikes right down the middle of the plate, not getting the bat off the shoulder.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Clutch hitting by JP. Just need to hold, looks like Brash in the 8th and then Munoz to close it out.

yeah, NOTHING is worse than seeing a guy just stand there with the bat on his shoulder. Pathetic. Swing at the f'ing ball.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Full Disclosure: I'm pretty damn nervous about the top fo the 9th. Can we PLEASE get GOOD Munoz? Please?

Every team in the league loses to crap teams at some point. This isn't just a Mariners thing.

This. Atlanta has lost to bad teams. Houston and so on.

 

[Shanegotyou11]

Come on Munoz

 

[SoulfishHawk]

fingers, legs, nads, elbows, earlobes, knees crossed............

Stand up

[Hawk-Lock]

Good Munoz today. Got the win and took the series.

 

[Shanegotyou11]

Munoz dominated. Ms have the best month ever.

 

[Maulbert]

Good. They just have no business dropping a series to the A's. Sure, a game is understandable. Not a series.

 

[Shanegotyou11]

5 and 1 Homestand.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

You know what, as flat as they looked the last 2 days? F it, take that W and get ready to rock. 21-5 in August. Wow

Except it happens.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Hopefully they can go at least 4-2 against NYM and Cinci, and then no worst than 1-2 against Tampa. If they can go 5-4 on the roadtrip I will easily take that.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Except it happens.

to ALL teams. Expecting perfection is not realistic. They played like shit for the most part, and won 2 games. Took them lightly imo. And, are missing their best player.

Having tomorrow off is MASSIVE imo. They need it. Regroup, refocus. And let's be honest, had they lost today........holy crap.

But......they didn't.

Tampa is a 4 game series, and it's a 10 game road trip. 7-3 would be fantastic. I would be happy with 6-4.
