Remember that when you complain about not bunting in the future.

We didn't score either f***ing way.

With this lineup it doesn't f***ing matter either way!

 

That said, give me a walkoff homer anyday today. Keep it tied.

 

There's nothing wrong with bunting a guy over to third late in games.

Like I said, I was fine with not bunting. But Alexei not even trying to hit the ball to right field is inexcusable.

So...

 

Why can't Gordon hit?

Hopefully Beckham can bang some slumpbusters tonight and find his bat speed.

Too much "bat speed" with the slumpbusters could demoralize a youngster.

So...

 

Why can't Gordon hit?

 

He's thinking too much at the plate, and he's pushing his bat through the zone.

Like I said, I was fine with not bunting. But Alexei not even trying to hit the ball to right field is inexcusable.

 

With Pierre next, I actually wanted Alexei to try for a hit there.

Because Juan Pierre doesn't have a chance in hell at getting a runner in from 3rd with less than 2 out and the infield in.

 

Suicide or safety squeeze would be my call to get the run in. (See Carlos Guillen v. Sox, 2000 playoffs)

You over simplify nearly everything, Greg. The bunt lessens an offenses chances of scoring a run. It takes the bat out of the hitters hands. We can't hit every damn thing, but at least we're letting the hitters try.

The #8 hitter really making Danks work here.

Even more upset with AJ not making a productive out in previous inning.

 

I can understand Ramirez failing more than the smartest player on our team, in terms of baseball IQ.

He gone.

ichiro gonna try to go yard here

Strong inning so far for Danks. Tough hitter to retire here.

who? Ichiro? he sucks.

Ichiro with a duck snort.

Scary...let's hope he can get the job done, they can't sweep KC on the road, can they?

Might as well focus on Figgins here.

I think Hawk forgot we get the day off tomorrow.

Finish Him!

Another blooper.

These duck snorts are getting old.

Weak

Wow, two very cheap hits here for Seattle. Time go to the bullpen. This should be Santos coming in.

Ozzie out, Danks stays in the game, Pena is warming.

Jesus....talk about bloops and dunkers.

 

It would really suck if Danks lost the lead after those two hits.

 

Danks is staying in, no Pena. At-bat of the game, our best pitcher versus their best hitter (well, maybe after Ichiro).

 

Put him away!!!!
