Gameday Thread: Seattle Mariners vs. Angels (4/6/2015 - Opening Day)

The bunt keeps you out of the inning-ending double play. We might have scored the tying run on that ground ball.

But Ianetta cant bunt.

[BleedRed]

That was the chance to get to Felix. Pitch count rising. Aargh

[bloodbrother]

Gotta love those 81 MPH meatballs belt high. Yuck Weav

[ItzTacosYerrp]

season over

[fan_since79]

Game definitely over now.

 

81mph 'fastball' in the hitting zone.

A digitized strike zone would be amazing. Most umpires are completely lost behind the plate.

 

i like what espn had last night. they showed the strike zone during every single pitch, plus they had this really interesting view from the side showing the pitch entering the hitting zone and where it was located.pretty impressive technology that could be useful.

[Amazing Larry]

That was a meat pitch if I've ever seen one.

[laagamer]

And now we're really boned. 

 

Weaver's release point has been shit all day. 

[nando714]

Sigh

[Jason]

Really bad pitch.

[CanadianHalo]

Ballgame.

[QuinlansMinion]

We only need 2 more Trout homers

[laagamer]

GET. THE. BALL. DOWN. 

[fan_since79]

Pull him now.

 

Is anyone even warming in the bullpen?

[Oz27]

When you're giving up homers to scrubs like Ackley it's typically a good sign you're not having a good day. Still, Brandon Wood probably would have hit that pitch out.

 

Time for Alvarez or Rucinski.

[Taylor]

In before someone bumps the "Weaver is no longer an ace" thread.

[jsnpritchett]

Haven't been watching and just now jumping into the thread.  Has Weaver's fastball been an issue today?

[Amazing Larry]

That pickoff was the fastest Weaver has thrown this game.

[Hollyw00d]

if weaver has a bad year, our rotation is in trouble

[Jason]

Ianetta off today too

[bloodbrother]

Haven't been watching and just now jumping into the thread.  Has Weaver's fastball been an issue today?

 

Yep. Dude's topping out at 81-83 MPH on his fastball and his command of it has been bad. Up in the zone a lot with it. Ackley just murdered a 81 MPH belt high FB for a HR

Fastball isn't quite the right term

[jsnpritchett]

Yikes!  Seriously?  "Topping out" at 83? 

[Amazing Larry]

I just shit my pants watching Trout tumble right there.

[bloodbrother]

Good job Joyce

 

That should just about do it
