Great game 

.

 at the following the M's have on Niketalk.

 

[DsLee]

We may have a thing against Darvish. Good to see the offense these past couple of games, and King Felix doing his thing today.
Now let us continue marching back up to .500!!!Edit:Teal brims shouldn't be an alternate, they should be a standard on our fitteds.

 What are you talking about?  It's, like, just the 6 of us!  

 

 @ Felix and Adrian jawin' at each other... 

 

[elpablo21]

Besides that 3rd inning, Noesi has looked really strong. I thought he would bomb early considering he looked great last start, with his up and down trends but we gotta take advantage of this on offense.

 

[DsLee]

3 innings to go...we can do this.

 

[651akathepaul]

What's going down? Looks like I tuned in just in time.

 

[651akathepaul]

Pretty good at bat by Smoak. Just needs to finish.
Ditto for Seager. #@**!

 

[elpablo21]

Gotta take the walk there

 

[Sinner]

Damn, these last few AB's... we kept swinging at pitches outside the zone and taking pitches inside the zone.

Well-done by Noesi.

 

[elpablo21]

Had there chances but couldnt cash them in *shrugs*

No discipline whatsoever

Huge problem for the M's. Guys don't walk enough, or take enough bad pitches. No working the count.

 

[651akathepaul]

Liddi with the Salami??

Hopefully that is gain with experience for these guys being so young.

Another gem for Millwood? I feel spoiled

Edit: I wonder how Liddi has looked playing the OF.

 

[DsLee]

I had no idea we had a day game today...NICE!

 

[elpablo21]

4 out of 5, Great series win.

So I'm seeing Liddi didnt do all that well in LF I guess

. Seeing that he'll be on the field more consistently (I hope so) wouldn't this be a great time to make a move that has been mentioned before, with Ack back to the OF, Seager to 2nd and Liddi to 3rd?

It almost makes too much sense, too much for Wedge's wizardry at least

 

[Sinner]

^ I think generally he's been having some relatively easy plays, but today, had that tricky fly deep into the LF corner. He lost it in the grey sky and also misjudged how close he was to the wall... so a combination of things that was probably due to inexperience.  Needs a bit more time.

 

[elpablo21]

Yeah I guess he could come out better in due time, I still dont get why they wouldnt just put Ack out there

Well Olvio is back...Casper down to AAA

Miguel Olivo returns from the DL, Casper Wells optioned to AAA

Share1

Mariners catcher Miguel Olivo is back. After a stint on the disabled list for a strained right groin, Olivo was reactivated Thursday.

To make room for him on the active roster, the Mariners optioned outfielder Casper Wells to AAA Tacoma. Chone Figgins, the underperforming veteran who was benched May 1, survived being potentially cut.

Updated 2:17 p.m.: Olivo is starting at catcher and batting seventh in the lineup Thursday, for the M’s game versus the Los Angeles Angels at Safeco Field.

Olivo got injured during the ninth inning of the Mariners’ 3-2 loss at Tampa Bay on April 30. The M’s placed him on the DL on May 1. Last week, the M’s decided he was well enough to begin a rehabilitation assignment at AAA Tacoma. He appeared in three games with the Rainiers, going 3-for-13 with a solo home run.

When he went down in April, Olivo was batting just .210 in 23 games. But it seemed like he had just hit his stride — he was on an eight-game hitting streak during which he hit three home runs. In each of his last two games, he went 2-for-4 with a solo homer.

In his absence, rookie Jesus Montero and veteran John Jaso had been splitting the starting catcher job. Having Olivo back will give the Mariners more flexibility at catcher and bring a relatively big bat back into the lineup — last season, Olivo was Seattle’s home-run leader with 19.

Stupid @!**%** move. Why is Chone still on the @!**%** roster?

 

[651akathepaul]

Yeah, I don't know either. No doubt moves will be made, but I'm not sure what's taking so long.

 

[elpablo21]

Pujols crushed that....

 

[Sinner]

Ichiro. 

EDIT ~ Chone is still here? 

But looking forward to getting Guti back...

 

[elpablo21]

14 K's, 4 hits, no walks

Edit:
Good to see Guti getting his healthy...that pretty much will end Saunders stint for the M's, oh well he had his opportunities

 

[Sinner]

So frustrating as they swung at so many balls outside the zone, especially the right-handers whiffing at the low-n-outside balls.

 

[651akathepaul]

Not sure how he missed that call, but he did.

 

[Sinner]

^ Missed it... what happened?

SMOOOOOAKED!
4 ribbies thus far!

I think he's talking about the the botched call in the 1st inning when Smoak drove the first run in on bases loaded but called Seager out at 2nd..Aybar lifted his foot when he caught the ball for the force out

Smoak!, continues to stay on a better pace...keep it up

Edit: Pujols again
