6 outs in 12 pitches. That's impressively bad
JFC. 2 minute half inning.
12 pitches in 2 IP. Why do we do this to ourselves?
12 pitches, 6 outs. Barf.
I expect Montero will throw a lot of pitches tonight
Pump strikes and good things happen. That's what Kirby is doing
Bregman on a 2 for 23 jag
1 x-base hit (against an actual pitcher) in his last 11 games

Weak contact and more weak contact, with no interest in making Kirby work up a sweat.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
Need to finish the first half strong. Would really suck to fall back to 4 or 5 GB after getting within 2 with 4 games to play
This offense can look really bad at times. Usually, not by coincidence, Maldy is in the lineup.
BS strike zone, but you get calls when you keep it close like Kirby is doing.

Kirby lives in the strike zone. Being aggressive is the way to go.
Can't sit back and let him pump strikes and get behind.

Sorry but you're wrong on this one.Mathguy64 said:He was a below average LFer even early. He had no arm at all.Harry Dunne said:He was a liability when he was old and top-heavy, but when he was young, he was a phenomenal defender.Mathguy64 said:
Julks keeps hitting.
I'll say it. The last 5 weeks he's upped his BB%, lowered his K% and become a solid ML hitter. He's a defensive liability but so was a Barry Bonds.
He never had a great arm, but that's a small part of being a great OF. He played CF early in his career and ran like a gazelle. He won 8 GG over 9 years and while the GG was more of a popularity contest back then, he had a 3.6 DWar one season, which led all OF and was 2nd in MLB only to a prime Ozzie Smith.
Again, not a perfect metric, but by that metric he was one of the top 3 defensive OF in all of baseball early in his career and nothing like what you are describing.
Geez, just pitch Blanco and Montero tonight, have Maldy catch all nine innings and go get them tomorrow.
Seriously, I think Dana is going to have to pull a Click and get rid of Maldy or Dusty will continue to pencil him in 4/6 games.

Mariners only have 2 hits, unfortunately both have been HRs. Overall I'm pleased with how Blanco is fighting
Maldy is the new Straw? I like it and funny that when we got rid of Dusty's last pet the guy we got (Diaz) is the one who would replace his newest pet.
Blanco keeping us in it. Bats need to figure it out
Emily did a lot of good work for us during the World Series last year. I leaned on her a lot.

The game is only halfway done
Julks. Man is on some kind of roll.
Corey Julks - hitting machine
Going to need to steal a run or 2.
This ****ing zone...
Don't swing, Maldy!

THATS AWFUL BLUE
Holy crap that's as bad a strike call as you will ever see.
Blue sucks dick
Good freakin' grief, blue.
That may be the worst strike call I've ever seen.
Maldy is so bad
