27/4 Game Thread - Logan Evans (debut) v Max Meyer

[Vogelbomb]

well, I'm going to be quite disappointed if Evans isn't allowed to open the 6th. 5-run lead. Why ask for 4 innings from your pen when your starter can cover one more?

Oh I know why, because you have 8 arms in the pen and they're getting restless for lack of use

Guess they wanna watch his pitch count his first start. Day off tomorrow use the pen. Sucks but understand. Jp this offense just continues to hit and it's the hottest offense this far into the season I have seen in a very very long time!!!! Bullpen finish this off. Solano back to back games with a hit!!!

Damnnn it Snider well good thing we have an ok lead!!!

Fuckkkk Snider get this damnnn out. Should have let Evans go 1 more ughhhhhh!!!!!

Phewwww gets out of his mess. Alright let's get that run back!!

Damnnn ittt!!! Well 9 more outs. NAIL THIS DOWN!!!!

Bases juiced for Julio easy out won't come through here. We all know it!!!!

Nice reverse jinx Seth!

Well done Seth. And well done Rodriguez. We get on you because we care and know all the talent that you possess!

We know Seth possesses all the talent, or were you talking about Julio? . Because some of our posters get on both of them

Hahaha I wish lol!!!! It was good to see Julio have a decent game a big hit early!!

Speier has been so damnn good!!! Thornton or Bazardo in the 8th our top 8th inning guys. Fuckkkkk I would go with Vargas!!!

[rockycola]

Was going to say I am glad Speier relieved Snider but then Speier immediately gives up a single. However, he gets out of it with no harm done.

The Mariners talk out of both sides of their mouth:

First, we hear them say "we want to get more innings from our starters"

Then you get situations like today where they hook a SP at 78p. with a 7-2 lead after 5 IP. They instead ask for 4 IP from the pen instead of, say, 3 if Evans covers the 6th.

I throw up my hands. And then they complain about a taxed bullpen! You can't have it both ways Dan! You can't whine about having to use your pen to cover more innings than you want AND hook starters who can reasonably give you more innings!!! WTF are we doing here?

I don't care about your 8 man pen, having fresh arms and off days. This is exactly how you get a tired pen in the first place. And maybe just maybe it shows you that you don't need a fucking 8-man pen?!! Especially with the optioning. Go down to 7 and stop forcing relievers into games in spots you don't need to.

OK, end rant

I wonder if Julio could have made it home on Polanco's double. Wish we would've got a replay of that of the whole field. Wanted Polanco to get another RBI

I agree they should have sent him.

[D-train]

Jesus Polanco.

Happy to eat Fat Crow on that signing.

[seth8734]

Damnnn it. Solano couldent bunt them over Mast drives in that run ughhhhh. Fucking idiots!!!

Hell yea Thornton allows first 2 batters to reach. Hahaha idiot WHERE IS VARGAS?
