Mariners offense off to a great start, first 4 batters to the plate strike out.

I'm guessing Hernandez gets about 2 runs scored for him tonight, crazy thing is it may be enough.

 

Marlins suck.

 

I've seen this movie before especially when Hernandez is on the mound

Harper is going to own baseball this year......

 

He is going to have to share it with Trout!

 

hard to imagine he duplicating those numbers from last year, but yes I agree....

 

You meant to say Freddie Freeman.

 

I really like this Mariners pitching staff.

 

No Harper :lol:

 

6 RBIs so far, there's still time to change your mind. :up:

 

I saw both the Ryu game and the Beckett game. Granted it was just one game but Ryu's fastball isn't going to miss many bats, it looks like he'll need to pitch backwards and really count on his secondary pitches to keep hitters off balance. As for Beckett his decreased velocity makes him a totally different pitcher than he was, he looked ok but I'm not sure he's going to be anything more than a #4 pitcher moving forward especially if he keeps using that cutter that doesn't cut, moving to the NL will definitely help him but I'm not sure how much he has left in the tank.

I think anything you get out of Billingsley is a plus but I think it's only a matter of time before he needs the TJ surgery, there's not a lot of success stories with guys rehabbing that injury instead of getting surgery.

But hey like you said they got Kershaw and Grienke so they'll be ok.

 

Matt Harvey is going to own baseball this year. Unfortunately the mets will still be a 500 team. :(

 

Uh oh.

 

He's been on borrowed time for awhile now, I think scouts were predicting surgery for him since college. But yeah that sucks for him and the Rays. Like every year, especially for this year, healthy is going to be the biggest factor in who wins the East.

 

He's not one of our 6 best starters at this point anyways

 

I am pleading for robot umps....balls and strikes bottom of the 9th, TB 4 vs Tex 5 man on 1st 2 outs

Hitter Zobrist
Pitcher Nathan

Mind you, Zobrist did not swing at any pitch, and once again the UMP makes it up as he goes along....horrible UMP....let PitchFX electronically call the game, it would be so much better.

3 balls were called, and 2 strikes were called (that in itself is a joke) in the first 5 pitches, and then low and behold pitch #6....LOL...are you kidding me.



UMPs ruin the game.....horrible job.:pity:

so would have been 1st and 2nd, with Longoria up....and he was 3 for 3 on the night.

 

Don't know why you guys are complaining it looked like a strike to me (says fan of a non-Rays AL East team)....

 

Apparently that's the 3rd time Grienke has hit him.

 

ruh roh

 

I didn't see it and I definitely wasn't trying to insinuate it was intentional. Just adding something interesting I heard.

Charging because you're hit on full count is all kinds of dumb.

 

That was the funniest thing I've seen in a while. The two just collided and then bounced off each other.

Also, I don't think Quentin is a *****. Obviously you blame him because you're a Dodgers fan but there is history there. He probably felt it was intentional.

 

"I never hit him on purpose. He always seem to think I'm hitting him on purpose, but that's not the case." -Zack Greinke

 

I think even if there's history common sense has to prevail here. It was a 1 run game and a full count, why would any pitcher try to hit a batter in that spot. I'm just shocked Quentin didn't hurt himself too, he's a starter on the "Mark Prior All Star Team".

According to BR, Greinke has only hit Quentin 2 times (not clear if it counted last night's game in there or not) but the last time Quentin was hit by Greinke was 4 seasons ago.

 

Apparently there was a parking lot incident between Quentin and Matt Kemp and Kemp reported was heard saying "We'll see *****". Now I can't wait for the next Padres/Dodgers series.

I get sticking up for a teammate and all but the Dodgers already lost a top pitcher, do you really want your top offensive player possibly getting into fights in the parking lot? Just beat the team on the field, that's the best revenge.

 

Nothing will happen next series while MLB is watching. Both teams will be warned before the games. Wait a few months when MLB focus is somewhere else and Quentin is going to get it. He deserves it. The guy gets hit by everyone for a reason. You cant stand over the plate. Brush back pitches happen all the time not that it was the case here. The "we have history" is a bull**** excuse he has been hit over 100 times. Back the **** up man!

 

I haven't even seen it, I am in a airport going to FLORIDA to get a bad guy right now.....did Grienke do it on purpose?

 

It was on a full count in 1 run game to the leader off hitter of the 6th inning.

 

And to a notorious plate crowder.

 

I think it was against the Braves once when Quentin got plunked and broke his hand (?)

The pitch was almost a strike.

 

Apparently, Grienke shouted something at Quentin after he hit him. Or so I've read. Seems hard to believe.

 

Buck with a grand slam...

I hate that man!
