Ubaldo is fucking incomprehensible.
>half an inning later
Go M's
>Mariners starting a shitty pitcher
haha, time for no offense
we'll blow up King Felix though
he's so shit
Like there's no real hope. Either the offenses reaches double digits or we just take the L.
It's a legit miracle it's only 2-0
>>67661691
What's baffling, though, is he clearly has swing-and-miss stuff. Like, plus-quality swing-and-miss stuff. He just can't fucking use it. It's infuriating.
idk man i don't feel like posting
i just want the pain to stop
>tfw no comfy Mariner-Orioles brawl 2.0
>and because he was so erect
JOE ANGEL PLS STOP
inb4 11-11 extra inning shitfest
>>67661735
Joe Angel is the best announcer in the league. It's a pity he only does play-by-play for half of each game.
>>67661757
Do you remember that game some years ago that went like 19 innings with like a billion people left on base?
I stayed up for that whole fucking thing. Ended at like 4am.
Unpopular opinion: I don't like Goldsmith whatsoever. Simms is worse, but Goldsmith is hardly an improvement.
>>67661790
Reminder that Aaron Goldsmith said "weaksauce" to Mike Blowers in the top of the first
>>67661789
>>67661790
no one can fill Dave's shoes.
but I think Goldy is a huge improvement over Sims. He doesn't bullshit around, or rely on filler talk like Sims.
he gets straight to the point and uses stats. His homerun calls are good too.
phew
>>67661790
Even more unpopular opinion: I like Sims and Blowers together. Blowers concentrates on the game and Sims is going to lose his shit if the M's ever make the playoffs. At least he gets excited. I'm listening to the Orioles play-by-play right now and it's fucking dull.
Bone is a great addition when used sparingly.
>>67661859
his homerun calls are fucking terrible what are you talking about? He has absolutely no sense of how deep a ball is hit, and when he does, it sounds like this:
"Watch out this one is gonna go for a long, long way from now"
The fuck is that?
Boredick: "I think Ubaldo has such bad numbers with no one on base because he's too aggressive in the zone"
This guy is such a fucking shitty announcer. Where's Jim?
>>67661939
>he doesn't enjoy GIDDYUP! GONE BABY!
>>67661964
that's cancerous too
>>67661964
>HEY LLOYD! ...HOW ABOUT... SOME DELIVERY! FOR THE TRUCK! TO THE AIRPORT!
What the actual fuck, Ubaldo.
You see how good you are when you throw strikes?
Why do you only do this once in a blue fucking moon?
>just tune in
>2 runs already
mfw we're on the road
>>67661939
Simms is even worse at that though.
He goes fucking nuts over a flyball that he thinks is gone and rambles incoherently.
have you forgotten Kyle Ackley?
>>67661977
>HOMO FOR LOMO
>>67662005
I would rather someone build up excitement for a warning track flyout than someone go "hit out into right field...Kalhoun...TO THE WALL IT'S GONE"
If he learns to read fly balls better he'd be fine.
At least we can agree with our O's bros that it's glorious to see the Bankees last in the East
So Orioles fans; Do any of you actually believe Trumbo's numbers are anything but a fluke?
>>67661989
they really need to find a way to win at home
This is the one that goes 16 innings
I feel it
>>67662055
I'm the exact opposite, I hate the overreaction. I don't want my emotions to be built up and then crushed when the outfielder catches it on the warning track.
Goldsmith paces himself well. he's straight laced. no bullshit or fluff. then, once the dinger has been hit, he goes nuts.
>>67662116
pls no
At least we can agree with our O's bros that it's glorious to see the Bankees last in the East
what the fuck is this guy's windup supposed to be?
>>67662155
>he doesn't want his emotions to be built up and then crushed
you're watching the wrong team lad
>>67662176
I knew the yankees were bad this year but not that bad
>>67662116
you have checked our record in extras, right?
must be a shitty feeling
for you
>>67662176
It's unsurprising really. They overachieved like crazy last year, and then did nothing in the offseason to fix the glaring holes on their team nor address their age issue.
>>67662079
Yes.
He's been an 800+ OPS player before, and he's never been in a hitter's park before, and he's surrounded by very very good hitters.
Why the fuck is Paul Janish playing?
>>67662182
You'd think it'd fuck up the catcher when in comes to knowing where the pitch is being thrown.
>>67662234
I imagine the steroids Davis shares with him also help too.
>>67662253
Don't know, I'm not an O's fan
Is it just me, or has Manny started swinging out of his shoes a bit of late? Seen a lot of swings-and-misses. He needs to relax.
>>67662302
>3rd Baseman MVP
>HAWT CORNER
pick both, or none at all
M's bros. Please check the Reds score. No matter how THIS series goes, this next one at Cinci should be fun.
>>67662435
Unless you catch the O's curse, in which case you'll have no offense against them at all.
And then you'll blow up some legit ace a few days later.
>>67662435
we NEED to sweep them, we got some tough series coming up
>>67662435
I'm hoping for a sweep
>>67662435
Cincy's an away series, right?
we shouldn't have any problem then.
class catch from seff smiff
>getting shut out by Wade Miley
This fucking offense, I swear.
>>67662435
Did you just SEE the Angels series?! In a way, I want to chalk it up to one of the ESPN writer's cursing the series into saying that was a 'trap series,' but still... You really hope that Cincy doesn't get desperate and start bringing up minor league talent to 'out-smart' the analytic stuff.
Fuck this ump
keep it up m's
>>67662615
Yeah. The M's played like shit at home against a division rival. What else is new?
That second strike
>bruh
It was lower than the ones they called ball! Reeee
That Kona beer ad was calm as fug
SEAWEED
now no tootblan pls
>>67662654
Honestly, I think Safeco kinda has a curse.
First off, who the fuck designs an open air stadium where the wind blows in from the outfield to kill flyballs, ESPECIALLY considering the power hitters that came from the late 90s Mariners!
Second, doesn't it seem like a lot of opponents get their home runs via no wind blowing in? Later on, you'll see Cruz, Cano, or someone else put the barrel on the ball, but it ends up dying near the warning track from the wind that is coming back through the stadium.
Gawd, I feel that home plate should have been in the northwest corner of the stadium and not the southwest corner.
>this ump
ffs, o's have had shit luck with umps recently
M's how's your bullpen
>>67662869
It doesn't make sense either, considering most fans are facing away from the skyline. Way to ruin the most pleasing aesthetic factor in your stadium. And home plate faces the trains. Fucking awful design for a beautiful ballpark.
>>67662960
>o's have had shit luck with umps recently
Everyone has. There hasn't been a game this season without questionable calls.
>3-0 M's
SEAWEED SPEED
>>67662965
damn good, give or take a recent hicup
Is Cruz good again?
>>67662869
Pretty much the reason the fence was pulled in.
>O's pitcher leaves in fifth
They may tend to have shit luck at Safeco but I still love this fucking team.
Brian matusz coming in to relive ubaldo Jimenez is proof that God is dead
>>67662965
They basically blew all three games against the Angels in our last series. Our closer hadn't blown a save all year and blew two back-to-back.
They're cold right now, but overall they've been nearly the best in the AL
Wasn't Walker ahead of Miley in the rotation at the beginning of the year? Why would they switch them, so they could prove to M's fans that Walker is a way better young pitcher than Tillman ever was?
>>67662970
Well... you certainly can't see the trains, but you can absolutely hear them. You can still see the rest of the city from well above the first base side...
Still. the views that matter most in the stadium are towards the action (despite how it seems the crowd in the first few innings can't seem to pay attention to the game.)

now tell us again how your 3rd baseman should be MVP, O's announcer

The pitching rotation had started:
Hernandez
Iwakuma
Miley
Walker
Karns
Only Hernandez and Iwakuma have changed, as Hernandez came down with a flu and needed an extra day off.
fuck you matusz you absolute piece of shit
You suck, you'll always suck. Every other failed starter we've has gotten better except you because you suuuuuuuck
>that spectator gasp
Did Lind just kill someone?
Why does this feel like softball compared to playing in other stadiums?
Have we played in a hitters park yet this year?
>>67663306
they were shocked he got wood on it
>>67663332
Because you've faced two objectively horrible pitchers.
This would've been a 7-0 game at the fucking polo grounds
>>67663374
hey man the Lind hate train isn't happening anymore, he's o-k
also nice catch 7/10
>it's a Ubaldo game

Yep. Arlington, New York, and I'm sure there are others.
There goes the nono :^)

>>67663650
How many innings have to be played for it to count as an official game? I can never remember.
>>67663695
they need to get passed the 5th inning iirc
Hey M's bros. Just got home. I always worry about playing the Orioles. They just seem to beat the M's a lot lately.
>>67663695
5th inning for sure. An easy way to remember it is, when Cal Ripken Jr. broke Lou Gehrig's record, the celebrated after it became official in the 5th inning.
>>67663723
so we're already there
>>67663798
Same here. I was still worried after the way they beat us last season
Cano for AL MVP desu
>>67663798
>>67663848
>Worried after the last game last year was Kuma's no-no
This team is a lot different, though it might not look it this game. Concern is reasonable, as you should be with the Red Memes as well
>>67663848
I also still get agitated knowing that Adam Jones got traded for Eric "Lazy Ass" Bedard.
CANO
feels good to watch this after last weekend
soooo awful
So so so awful. There has to a lefty somewhere on the fucking streets that would be an improvement

CRUZ MISSILE
>>67663974
desu famalam, the M's have pretty much been hitting like this all season. About once a week they shit the bed and have a 2-hit game or something, but they've been scoring at least 4 or 5 runs a lot lately.
It's been a refreshing month and a half of baseball.
Speaking of which
>DAT CRUZ MISSILE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAUY1J8KizU
>>67663655
Hmm, I suppose other than the "short porch" in right field, it's probably otherwise favorable for pitchers.
Those used to be our Missiles ;_;
>>67663994
Oh dude, Bavasi traded away a lot of other prospects as well. I have to say our execs really fucked up with him and Jack Z. Those dumb fucks.
well good to know theyre punting on a Jimenez matusz shitfest. They'll take 2 out of three and then tie them both to a cinder block and throw them into the harbor
>>67664130
look at it this way senpai
we both got Cruz in his best years

lolboston making this game even more meaningless
>>67664284
don't do that to yourself man, it will just lead to more pain.
there are too many bad Mariners trades to count.
>>67664225
No doubt.
I'm genuinely impressed he competed with Davis for DINGERS last year while playing all those games at a park like SafeCo.
I just miss his chemistry with the youngsters.
>>67664483
>Jesus Montero 3-3
Nice catch
>10-0 lead
I wonder if they'll put Peralta and Cishek in at some point just to give them their confidence back
>>67662021
he didnt actually say homo for lomo
>>67664857
might as well. theres no way they can blow a 10 run lead right?
>>67665039
We just put our second stringers in

>>67665792
>tfw no Putz in boots
>>67665727

fuck off im trying to play some pokemon. my pregame ritual
>>67664703
Yeah... that's pretty sad letting Montero get on base three times in a game.
>>67665039
Hilarious considering that would be something Simms would actually dare say.
>>67665815
I did actually go to a game about nine years ago that had a bobblehead night for him. Still have that, though I can't think of a good pun for that.
