Guh....Lloyd's 5-9:

Gutierrez : basically been hurt/sick for 5 years...9-32 this year.
Trumbo...batting .227, slugging .303
Montero. Well, you guys probably know all about that. Batting 1-8 in his ABs this season
Chris Taylor: The "defensive" shortstop. .167 this year
Zunino: batting .160. He plays about every day and has 41 hits in mid-July.

This game could be 0-0 until Felix's arm falls off in the 11th...

 

[totus44]

Ref had his cup of coffee, lets see what he does with it.

Not likely with CC Sabathia pitching.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I guess we'll see if a moveable object meets resistible force, what happens.

 

[totus44]

First Ks that inning for Felix. Little surprised for this lineup.

 

[Messiah717]

Pitchers duel.

 

[Messiah717]

Classic Sabathia bad inning which starts with the garbage bottom of the lineup.

 

[totus44]

Hey cash.....remember those guys Montero and Jackson?

 

[Messiah717]

Can't complain about one run but just annoyed it was because of garbage hitters. Wake up offense.

 

[BrianFromWA]

when was the last time CC had 7Ks, much less through 5?

 

[totus44]

On thank god we have Drew! 0-2 only dropped his avg from 182 to 181, lol!

 

[BrianFromWA]

if we don't put up some runs quick, I see the Fernando Rodney Experience (complete with newly-dyed hair and beard!) tossing a 93mph belt-high FB to Arod after walking two in the 8th to snatch this defeat from the jaws of victory,...

 

[Rick2583]

Don't worry about Gardner Felix, he's not going anywhere.

 

[totus44]

Fuck you McCann!

 

[Rick2583]

1st & 3rd with one out, lets see if they waste a golden opportunity.

McCann strikes out.

Beltran comes through score tied 1-1

 

[totus44]

Ha-ha! 1-1

 

[BrianFromWA]

can anyone explain why the M's just bunted on a 3-1 count with no outs and a .160 hitter coming up?

 

[totus44]

Our std answer around here is that it's according to "the plan".

 

[totus44]

Nice outing by CC....provided we get the W.

 

[BrianFromWA]

fair enough. I guess so is stealing 3rd with 2 outs against a pitcher that's thrown 13 fastballs out of 14 pitches. Not exactly going to bury a splitter in the dirt, now, are we?

 

[totus44]

In all fairness, AL mgr's get so little practice playing small ball.

 

[totus44]

Ah.....if were lifting Drew vs LHP, then that negates his defense in late innings. Why is he here again?

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Figures, get a game from the Big Donkey and the offense goes out on break. Tone set by Tex when he hit into that 1st inning DP.

 

[Rick2583]

That-a-boy Tex. And it couldn't have come against a better pitcher. Don't think the asshole will be shooting any arrows after this game.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

OK Tex, I apologize, you knocked the tilt out of Rodneys Cap, but 3 outs to go to keep William Tell from shooting that arrow.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Anytime anyone takes F. Rodney deep, its a Kodak Moment........

Finally a good outing by CC, or is Seattle a fair measure for anything or team......?
