King Felix pitches today.. So everythings gotta be good... however I will not be in attendance on MLB.tv
Have to prepare for the coaches vs. seniors game on Friday. That should be interesting and let me just say the day prior to the game I think we’re going to get beat pretty handedly. We’ll see how it works out.
But BACK TO THE M’s – A few things thing’s to watch today
1# With Felix on the mound and a dishearting game last night we need our ACE! Today’s game against that beefy Tampa line-up will come down to 2 things. 1# how well is Hernandez mixing up his pitches and 2# How he starts the game.
Felix is great pitcher, but the way he has performed it takes him a few inning to get settled in and with the injuries to both Sweeney and Branyan there isn’t a lot of offensive punch left with Griffey and Beltre slumping at the plate.
I have a feeling that this game comes down to how Felix pitches in the first two innings. If he’s giving up more 3 spots we may just find ourselves in trouble again.
2# Line-ups aren’t released but I’m with all this talk about struggling bats and Sweeney injured Balentine has got to finally step up become that consistent hitter in the majors we need him to be. I really keep thinking it’s going to come down to one at bat that changes everything. But that’s just wishful dreaming.
3# Again Sweeney won’t be playing today that should move Lopez to first and Ronny Cedeno out at second. It should be interesting to see how he plays defensively. Honestly I thought he wasn’t much of an upgrade just from last nights game. But, I am keeping an open mind about it and hoping he has a much better game today.
We go for the series win today! Lets stay positive about this….opinions and optimism seems to falter after a loss which is ridiculous. We gots to be excited about our first place Mariners!~!!!~!!~!!!
