These ******* assholes not just blowing away detroit.

Marineros always wait until they have 2 Outs before they start scoring

Meltdown in the 10th.

 

[SonicHawk]

Meltdown over. Time to hit a dong and go to Toronto.

Message received. Torrens is the first position player to record a victory for the Mariners. Who'd a thunk it?

 

[Ruminator]

Did a double-take when I saw him on the mound!

That's god damn hilarious. Servais was just fine with punting that game just to get it over with. You're not trying to win anymore when you put Torrens in to pitch in the top of the 10th, you're just trying to get out of there. And yet, Santana, JK, and Toro found a way to get the win anyway.

Tb tanked imo on purpose.

I didn't know it was legal to put a position player out there. I thought it had to be some kind of blowout before they could do that. Oh well, it worked.

I don't think so, I think they've just been struggling lately. They've been playing pretty poorly and losing a lot of games for awhile now (since well before Baltimore was eliminated).

What a truly horrific failure that attempt to punt was! Well, they can learn from this and try to do a better job punting in the second game.

Torrens was hitting 85-86 mph out there too. Not bad for a position player

About .500 ball vs playoff teams.

0 and 3 since Ms clinched. 0 and 2 vs Boston.

You could be right.

I'm just glad they finished it in 10. Last thing we need is a 13 inning game this week.

Playoff seeding is set now. We're #5 seed and going to Toronto Friday. Don't want to just tank these last two games but I'm all for taking it easy if they can.

Game #2 about to start. Looks like Sheffield is up from Tacoma and starting tonight.

Probably even OK for the catcher to pitch as long as he's not also grabbing his own balls.

Hella Good!! Double Header sweep!!

Some real hitting going on tonight!!

Now let's do the same thing Friday and Saturday

 

[SonicHawk]

Good to get some dubs before they reallly matter.

I believe I saw Torrens pitching and catching his own pitches. He even threw a guy out at 2nd base!
