Game 16, Mariners at Oakland

Felix! Against Blanton, who is not Felix. Heh heh heh. Supposed 7:05 start time.
No lineups up yet that I’ve found, so I’m going ahead with my
I know generally speaking my view of the AL West (and Dave’s, which is different but substantially similar) isn’t at all widely held, but the season series against the A’s is almost certainly going to be as important as their success against the Angels. It’s going to be much harder to win a division title if they drop games to either of those two.
So win. Having Felix start is a good way to begin.

No CG’s for Felix. Jon Mclaren hates your fantasy team.
Morrow’s available right? I think McLaren thinks he needs to get pitchers in the first game they get called up after.
Hey I know, we should throw Soriano or Sherrill, those guys are awesome late in the game!
For those without TV, Felix was put his hat and glove back in. He’s going for the CG!
What happened to Lopez taking the first pitch?
This is why we need Putz. Instead of the game being over, we’re stuck worrying about whether we’ll hang on or not.
Never been happier to be wrong
apunetid- The whole team decided to stop taking pitches tonight.
Or throwing too many pitches
What a nasty curve!
Go, Felix, go!!
Dusty Baker? Is that you?
So one of two things happened.
1) Felix asked to be put back in b/c of the backlash last time he was taken out with a similar pitch count
2) McLaren is somehow going back on his early season example and sending him back out so he doesnt look like a moron again.
KING FELIX
Felix wasn’t having another Baltimore. I was surprised to hear he wanted out of that game.
CG!
115 pitches
This was much better than watching the debate!
happy Felix day, indeed.
good day to be a M’s fan, Felix is my hero.
Cy Young! Gold Glove! Start the voting.
yeeeaaah!
Another beautiful game on Felix’s resume to greatness! Now that was sappy. Nice win boys
CG 8 K’s 1BB 1ER(with our defense!!) That is a Felix Day if I ever heard one.
or
3) this game, when it is warmer as well as 2 weeks further into the season, Felix felt 100% when the 9th rolled around.
Nights like these make the rest of the week worth it. Maybe if we all concentrate hard enough we can collectively regenerate a hip and feel this way twice a week. Buen hecho Rey!
I was just thinking. Lord, don’t let Felix get hurt this year. He looks real good this year. So much smarter with his pitches. That pitch on the DP in the 8th was amazing. Outside corner with two strikes set up to be hit into a double play. It would be so sweet for him to have a chance at 20 this year.
Most any day is a good day to be a fan of the Mariners.
MSB – its so much talent at such a young age. thats what is scary. look at guys like prior and wood …
hes like neo / the ‘one.’ NO body knows what to do with the King .. but the fact of the Matter is he dominated the A’s in 115 pitches at age 22. Dominated.
One quick Beltre note:
That line drive he caught, I think in the 3rd off of Ellis…on HD, you can see the ball spinning in his glove, and him enjoying his catch.
He’s good at what he does, and he enjoys the little things 🙂
Phightin Phils: I was wondering what was up with that. I noticed him looking into his glove in wonder after the play, but I didn’t see the ball spinning.
nope, you’re right on the money. i think it’s going to be a tough division really and both fellow coasties need to be handled firmly from the very beginning! i like what i’m seeing in these divisional match-ups so far though!
