I'm surprised they ran on Ichiro. Not a good idea.

Ha, jphat is not going to be happy. That's so stupid to send Nix with Thome on deck. Rios is not a #3 hitter Ozzie!

That was a stupid base running decision.

Wow. Defense, defense, defense kept this game scoreless. With our defense it would 1-0 or 2-0 Mariners after that inning.

You're kidding right? Why would you even challenge Ichiro...amazing.

Gotta love giving up 2 outs that inning.

Ichiro's a great thrower but against an ace you take your chances when you've got em.

 

Out of a 100 times how often is he out on that? He wasnt out by a mile

Nix couldn't have had a weaker slide if he tried. You can't just go feet first into the glove like that.

Ichiro was set up perfectly, he didn't have a prayer. It's almost comical they tried to score on that.

He's out 90 pct of the time on that.

Because we are 0-4 with RISP and suck at it in general. All you have to do is it a ball to mid to deep in the outfield away from Ichiro. He didn't strike out. That's good I guess.

It wasn't deep enough, and it's not like we haven't been able to get hits off of "King Felix" tonight.

If Beltre played nobody but us he'd be a very rich man.

Especially with how well Thome has hit Hernandez.

With Jim Thome on deck though?

Hawk initially thought it was enough...but then quickly corrected himself and yelled NOOOO when Nix tagged

In case you haven't noticed we're going up against one of the best pitchers in baseball tonight. You're acting surprised that we haven't put up 10 runs by now.

I feel our ability to get runs off Felix tonight has been highly suspect, in that we have zero of them.

More on Ozzie choices today.....

 

Why is the defensive lineup not:

 

Pods LF Rios CF Quentin RF

 

 

Doesn't that make more sense?

I think it's great that we've gotten 4 hits. You have to come through in situations like that. Especially when you are getting paid the big bucks.

With Jim Thome on deck though?

 

Felix probably walks him and K's the next guy anyway.

Especially with how well Thome has hit Hernandez.

 

While we're sucking Felix's nuts, let's not forget that Mark is actually having a better outing.

hawk and santo need to do an interleague game together one time.

I understand that. Regardless Ichiro had all of his momentum coming right towards home plate, he set himself up perfectly, not to mention he has one of the best arms from right field.

 

Cox should have known that, I understand it's King Felix, and I understand you try to force the issue in games like this, but there was no point to sending him there. He was a long gone.
