Blown the Lead

Wednesday night it looked like the Mariners were going to beat the New York Yankees leading 5-0 going into the fifth inning unfortunately they came back and won 7-5 on a walk-off in the ninth inning.

 I wouldn’t have minded the loss so much if the game had been against anyone except the Yankees. The Mariners play the Yankees again this afternoon New York time so in a few minutes. The Mariners have James Paxton going so we do hope that they can bounce back from this loss that should have been a victory. I guess this will happen once in a while but the Yankees make it disturbing. I am sure the Yankees will feel that they will win this game as well. The odds look pretty well in their favor but with Paxton on the mound the Mariners do have a good chance to rebound. Whatever does happen win or lose the Mariners can get back on track once again. They are not in this position just by accident or luck unlike some on the east coast may think. The reason the Mariners have been doing well is because of their starting pitching. We do have to see that the bullpen starts getting back on track too. The bullpen is going to be real important the second half of the season.

The Mariners are giving Jean Segura the game off on Thursday. It is probably a good idea since he has  been playing every game. Andrew Romine will be playing short and batting ninth. His brother Austin will be catching and batting eighth for the Yankees. Mitch Haniger will be playing in center field once again however batting second. Denard Spain will be batting third instead. The rest of the lineup looks the same. We are hoping for the best before heading to Boston to face the Red Sox. Go M’s.

News just came out that Segura isn’t starting because of an infection in his right finger so more than giving him a rest. We hope that he will be back on Friday.
