Mariners Third Loss To Yankees

Yankees 5 Mariners 4

Mariners got off to a good start scoring
two runs in both the first and second
inning. Things look good going into the
bottom of the sixth inning. Chris Flexen
started the sixth inning giving up two
runs then Anthony Misiewicz comes in
with no outs gives up two more with an
error by Mitch Haniger so both runs
unearned. Anthony a lot like Montero
was a lot of bad luck. I wish he never
is put in a game with no outs only when
there is two outs. Relievers are requiredD
to face three batters unless it is at the
end of an inning. No reliever has to
start the next inning unless the manager
decides to.

Depending on your opinion the fault can

be on the pitching or the offense but it

really comes down to the manager and

what decisions he makes. It always seems

in August the Mariners start losing games

they could win. It is right around the time

the Seahawks are in practice and ready

to play their first pre-season game. I can

say I am sick and tired of it. You have put

the problem on all involved or at the

feet of the manager who makes the 

decisions.

Looking at this game Abraham Toro 

was in the leadoff spot because JP

Crawford wasn't feeling well. Dylan

Moore was inserted at shortstop so

someone had to leadoff and why

not one of the hottest players on 

the team. Toro did a fine job getting

one of the Mariners five hits on the

day. He also scored a run as well

as driving one in. His one hit was

a double. Kyle Seager hit a home

run with Toro on base. Later Toro

drove in Kelenic who had two hits

on  the day. The fifth hit was by

catcher Tom Murphy. The Mariners

made the best of the hits on the

day. 

One thing we know right now Toro

is going to be a regular next season

for the Mariners whether at second

or third. Reliever Joe Smith a 

veteran for several years and came

over in the trade with Toro says

he is a good one.  He can hit with

power along with speed on the 

bases. Look forward to him next

year to. What a good fine by Dipoto.

Isn't it nice to add another piece to the

rebuilding from another organization.

Yusei Kikuchi goes for the Mariners 

Sunday. We hope he can recharge

the pitching. Diego Castillo was the

only back end of the bullpen to pitch

Saturday. Paul Sewald didn't pitch

either Friday or Saturday so should

be available Sunday. Drew Steckenrider

who pitched Friday should be available 

to. Let's stop these poor pitching decisions

and win this game. Doesn't matter what

has happened these last three games.

Let's come home on a positive note.
