Seattle Mariners vs Cleveland Guardians Aug 25-28

[Threedee]

Why is it always games against Cleveland that piss me off?

Couldn't get not ONE baserunner the entire game. They ******* lose to a total scrub with their ace on the mound AGAIN. This is exactly why the Castillo trade was a complete waste of time & prospect capital if you're not going to add offense as well. DiBozo is absolutely in love with these damn washed-up scrubs who can't hit. Jack Z was the exact same way. 3 of the most stubbornly horrendous GM's in a row.

Derp.

They also won the 1st two games they should of lost per matchups.

 

[Shanegotyou11]

Super tough L.

1 game up on Balty for last WC.

Probably remembering the movie Major League and thinking they should suck more.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Another trash pitcher on the mound for Cleveland today.

 

[FrodosFinger]

I rarely disagree with umpires but that guy behind home plate last night was horrible.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Umps weren't great, but according to this they actually helped us more than hurt us last night.

 

[SonicHawk]

Those 8th inning misses were huge.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Fully ready for Civale to look like DeGrom against us.

 

[Crizilla]

D-Mo with a 3 run dinger. M's need to hold onto this lead to keep pace with TB.

 

[Ruminator]

Finally... France the hitter is back!

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Nice to see Ty get going, but we are still really dependent on the long ball. I think all but three runs in this series have been HR’s. I guess that’s baseball now.

 

[SonicHawk]

**** yeah. Series win.

 

[sutz]

That's playoff baseball, folks. We'll likely see these guys in October if we make the playoffs.

Not accurate when all 3 strikes in Ty France’s AB were actually balls and not mentioned there.

I either want the top WC spot or the last WC spot. Got no problem if we have to go to Cleveland for a playoff series. Outside of Ramirez, not a lot to worry about on offense.

I mean they dont strike out. They steal bases. They score more runs then we do. The only thing they are behind is homers.

Pitching is a wash basically with a slight advantage to the Ms.


The biggest difference? Fielding.

Ms are 1st and Guardians are 20th.

Very true. There is no question that the Ms sharp and sometimes thing-of-beauty fielding has helped win them some games this season.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

How bout now Welshers? Like I said after the Washington 2 game split, it was not even close to the end of the world. They just won 3 of 4 over a first place team.

 

[sutz]

Fans are hilarious when they panic after 1 game and start screaming for players to be cut and managers fired.

In the end, we just took 3 of 4 from one of the best teams in the AL. We all worry a bit too much that "the same old Mariners" are coming back. Over all, a good series, and possibly a preview of the playoffs.
