OK Houston coming to town. Should tell us a lot about how we stack up against the team to beat in the division.

 

[Shaggy]

Awesome. Thanks for starting this up.

2 and 1 series vs em.

I'm guessing Marco is going to get lit up. Hope I am wrong

 

[Hawker]

On the mound:

Game 1. Gonzales
Game 2. Flexen
Game 3. Brash

Feeling the same. Seattle better score a lot of runs tonight. Don’t think Marco’s 88mph fastball is going to fool hitters anymore.

Location is everything

I'm wrong through 2. Marco is looking sharp

True, also helps that we have an ump with a generous strike zone.

Looking good but it’s early.

Yup, Clayton Kershaw doesn't throw any harder than Marco... How good is he?

 

[acer1240]

6 strikeouts so far. Been a fun game to watch

 

[DJrmb]

Good inning there! Love the triple on a pitch out of the zone! Imagine if JK wouldn't have attempted to steal too. Maldonado is one of the greats at throwing guys out though, can't blame him too much.

 

[DJrmb]

Well, hello offense

 

[acer1240]

Happy to be wrong. Solid outing from Marco

 

[Sports Hernia]

Gladly, I was wrong about Marco getting lit up tonight.
That was one of the better games I’ve seen him pitch.
The run that scored was a fluke. He’s snapping bats as well.


6 runs the offense scored so far is almost a weeks worth.

 

[DJrmb]

Frazier have a night! Wow!

 

[sutz]

Great way to start the series!

Yeah, Marco can still pitch.

Frazier definitely earning that leadoff gig.

Runners every inning. Left a few on early, but picked up bunches in the later innings.

These last 2 wins feel somewhat season saving. 2-6 would have been a gut punch facing Verlander tomorrow.
