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

[fan_since79]

Matt Joyce is not a major-league cleanup hitter.

 

They've got to decide on a decent #2 hitter and move Trout and Pujols down a notch.

[JAHV76]

I hope Sports Illustrated puts King Felix on one of their covers sometime soon. Crap that's already happened.

At this point just let Felix get the CG

[Broad Street]

I think the point lost in this thread is that the Angels are doing some things well. They're not winning, but you can see some positives that have me excited for the season.

[FabulousFabregas]

Hey guys, miss me yet?

 

[Blarg]

Richards should be pitching this game against Felix. 

 

I like our chances against Iwakuma better than against Hernandez. 

 

Weaver is a decent #3, good #4 guy now... If CJ, Shoemaker and Richards can get it done, have ERA's under 4, we'll be fine. 

 

King Felix is on the Clayton Kershaw level of pitchers guys. We're going to get dominated by this guy 3 out of 5 times.

 

Kershaw has given up 3 runs so far to the Padres. I think I'd rather the Angels faced him instead.

Kershaw is the only Kershaw IMO. 

 

But King is a close second.

Uhhh, what exactly are these things?

[bloodbrother]

Uhhh, what exactly are these things?

 

They're striking out well

[Broad Street]

Freeze hit that ball hard, just happened to be right at Felix. Calhoun has some hard hit outs. Trout has a home run. Aybar has made some nice plays and has a hit. Weaver didn't have good command or any velocity, but was still able to limit the damage to 4 runs. Can't always be negative Nancy's. It's a long season, don't get your blood pressure up so early.

[Lou]

Mariners proving why theyre the class of the west

lol

[bloodbrother]

Kole showing off his arm again

[JAHV76]

Nice throw Kole!

Well we did score 1 run today. That's more than 0 runs. Weaver's ERA for the day was only 6. That's better than say, 7 or 8. And we only struck out ten times today. That's fewer than 11 or 12. 

[Broad Street]

Nice throw Calhoun! See guys, positives!

come on now. we've already played 7 innings of a 162 game season against one of the top 3 or 4 pitchers in mlb. what else do you need to see?

[bloodbrother]

Silver lining: Felix would have 13 K's today rather than 10 if Hamilton was in the lineup

[Blarg]

Loshe for the the Brewers has a 21.60 ERA.

[JAHV76]

Holy cow Aybar saved a run by that bad throw

Ianetta looks terrible today

Oh my. They haven't hit well, haven't pitched well and haven't fielded well. It happens countless times in a season and this is just one of those. But you're seriously clutching at straws if you're arguing there's been a whole heap of good things today.

[bloodbrother]

A lefty reliever getting a lefty out? Didn't think the Halos were allowed to have that

[JAHV76]

Ramos pitched out of a jam

Boilermaker couldn't have said it any better.
