hangover recovery with more beer and baseball > *

youth core going in 

 but Zunino still looking lost as could be 

 

[booradley]

Seager!

[booradley]

Well that got out of hand real quick.

 

[Sinner]

Welp. 

 

[651akathepaul]

Franklin.

Man, him and Seager can play ball. This is good.


And Blowers just said that the M's have homered in 15 straight games. That's crazy. Now only to get some runners on.

 

[Sinner]

We have so many solo HR's, it's ridiculous.

 

[Sinner]

Yes! Mariners... win!

 

[651akathepaul]

Smoak better go on a tear right now. He always does just enough so that we don't give up on him.

 

[checks grossman]

albeit it's usually in the last month of the season 

I think he's slowly coming around, esp. if his SLG% continues to go up. Larry Stone noted Smoak doesn't have a single HR or RBI when batting RH, though

This weekend has been a blurr...

Good to see the squad pickup a couple series wins 

 

[booradley]

Is it just me, or is Justin Smoak not terrible anymore? Came up clutch with that 2-run blast.

[Sinner]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh... nice to get a couple of runs, but damn, we shoulda done more.  

EDIT ~ These *$%#ers are wasting no time. 

 

[checks grossman]

Is it me or does Felix have tendencies to 'loosen up' just a bit after he gets some run support? Thats that **** I don't like.

edit:

Raul's gotta be juicin...

 

[Sinner]

Rauuuuuul... 0-2 pitch too... 22!

But I guess that's normal for any pitcher...

What I miss? 

Between Raul's gifs displaying his gold glove talent and his bat doing work, he's been too fun to watch this year
