It was nice to see how the Angels honored their fallen
teammate on Friday night, however, did the Mariners help out so much that they
didn’t get a hit in the game. In fact, if Omar Narvaez hadn’t walked it would
have been a perfect game.
We will miss you Tyler Skaggs. We wish you were still here to
start against the Mariners. Though we would still root for our home team it
would be good to see your pitching too.
I am not sure why the Mariners haven’t figured out they
shouldn’t be pitching to Mike Trout. After the leadoff double, Mike Leake
should have walked Trout to give a chance for a double play. The way he pitched
though it wouldn’t have made a bit of difference, we don’t know that for
sure.
I am sure we hope this is not a sign for the second half of
the season. I wonder what has happened to Dee Gordon’s defense anyway. I
wondered if he was thinking at all when looking for making a double play and
dropping the ball. Not at a good time either.
On the positive side, at least the Mariner’s box score is easy
to read. Just kidding by the way.
The Mariners haven’t announced who will be pitching on
Saturday night so I expect they will be going with the opener followed by Wade
LeBlanc. Sunday Yusei Kikuchi is scheduled to pitch. Oh, by the way, the good
news Kikuchi and his wife had a son born over the all-star break. You can’t
have a better all-star break for sure.
Now we have to keep our chins up. I hope the Mariners do the
same. It would be nice to win as many or close to as losses. Have a great day
and until next time.
