HOLY SHIT! The YORDAN Taketh!The Yordan giveth, the Yordan taketh away
Yep. Can't waste this Verlander gift. They're done.Seattle imo has already lost this series - too bad.
More like Ortiz off Washburn.That was basically Manny off of K-Rod. Completely obliterated.
Not sure he could have generated that kind of velocity off a tee.Fucking ball might as well have been on a t.
Release the Krack….I mean Chapman.So who's the hottest LHRP on the market this year? Seems like the Mariners might need one.
Servais is gonna be explaining that very shortly. Really bad move obviously. Just wow.What a stupid decision to put him in for his first relief appearance in 3 years, after he completely shit the bed 3 days ago. That's a fireable offense in some markets.
I say this every year. Teams spend a whole year piecing together wins with their normal bullpen and then throw that all in the garbage by putting random starters in random late inning positions that they aren't prepared for. It's insane to me. Robbie Ray closing games is bananas.What a stupid decision to put him in for his first relief appearance in 3 years, after he completely shit the bed 3 days ago. That's a fireable offense in some markets.
That really downplays Gibson and Carter.
Time for Slocumb. V 2.0So who's the hottest LHRP on the market this year? Seems like the Mariners might need one.
Nope. Completely distracted and forgot. I'll edit.Intentional?
You're right, although some long home runs have been hit off of slow curves.Not sure he could have generated that kind of velocity off a tee.
I figured!Nope. Completely distracted and forgot. I'll edit.
They said Alvarez hit .321 against lefties this year. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think going to Ray is indefensible. They already burned Brash and Munoz, the latter of whom let them down, and Sewald was losing it. The only other lefty option out of the pen was Boyd I think? I mean if one of your aces is going to keep getting shelled every outing, you're screwed anyway.
As good as he is against lefties he's still better against righties. He's just really really good.Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think going to Ray is indefensible.

Edit: Should have done my homework, this would appear to be a key point, though I'm not sure who the preferred righty is after the relievers they already used
Putting the tying run in scoring position and facing Bregman isn’t a great option either.Would have better off bowling the ball to the plate four times than have Ray pitch to Yordan.
Oh I know, I'm not sure whether the Mariners still had a righty relief option they'd trust, rather than forcing a lefty/lefty with Ray. I'm pretty sure they'd already used up their best relievers, putting yourself in that spot with Yordan up is pretty much a nightmare scenario.As good as he is against lefties he's still better against righties. He's just really really good.
