This ump is all over the friggin' map with the zone. Has missed multiple calls on both edges, up and down for both teams.

 

[Bobblehead]

sweet.. keep it up!

 

[sutz]

Too bad Toronto is so much better than us.

Helluva game. Won the series.

 

[IndyHawk]

Tes sure amps it up against his former team..I wish every team did
it for him.
A good win not great pitching wise..Brash gets on my nerves

You got me there.

I know when I see a team that's top 10 in nearly every team hitting stat vs a team that's bottom 10 in nearly every team hitting stat, the first thing that comes to mind is "pretty evenly matched". Cause, you know, that makes sense.

Chance at a sweep. Interesting pitching match up. Manoa hasn't been having a very good year and Woo has shown some rookie incosistencies.

Manoa has struggled with the M's in the past, let's hope the trend continues.

We get good Woo so far. Dealing in the first two innings.

 

[sutz]

And Ford just launched a 2 run shot off the Hit It Here Cafe.

Vlad Guerrero just tied it in top 4 with a 2 run dinger.

Ford has been so much better than anyone could have reasonably expected, considering how his career has gone at the major league level before this season. Sure hope he can keep it up. He's been a difference maker for this team. One we badly needed.

 

[Chapow]

Big time pinch hit from Moore there to tie the game with 2 outs

 

[Crizilla]

Scotty takes Ford out of the game in the 6th inning assuming because of matchup reasons against a lefty pitcher but he keeps Wong in the game against a lefty. What. An. Idiot. Thankfully Moore tied up the game.

 

[Chapow]

Scotty takes Ford out of the game in the 6th inning.

Yeah, head scratcher for sure. Good thing he put in Moore to pinch hit for Trammell right after that.

 

[Crizilla]

Julio has been so unclutch for us yet he continues to laugh and smile like it's no big deal. Just sums up this franchise and Scotts clubhouse. "Meh who cares oh well!". God this franchise misses Lou.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Man we had our chances in the 9th, we just came up short.

Curious to see if they can build off this and gain some momentum. If they can pull within 3-4 gb of the wild card I’d be okay trading for a bat.

 

[sutz]

No miracles today. Woo gets the quality start, but not a win. Nice to see Moore contribute this time up.

Won the series, though.
