go on a good winning streak to be in
the race for the playoffs.
The Astros and the Rangers were get
back in the pack since they were playing
s difficult schedule. The Mariners playing
the bottom two teams in the AL West.
The worst division in baseball.
The Mariners came home after winning
two games at Boston. They lost three
out of four against the Athletics in
Seattle. They followed by beating the
Rangers teo out of three. Something
that would have been good if they
had beaten the Athletics three out of
four instead as expected.
The Mariners are now on the last road
trip of the season. They are playing in
they have been eliminated from the
playoffs like the Athletics and the Angels.
Over the weekend at Sacramento two
of the three against the Athletics they
lost they did at home. The middle game
they beat them 19-1 like a revenge but
Sunday they went right back like have
for a while losing.
On Monday night they play the Angels
im Anaheim. This was the first team
in the American League be eliminated
from the playoffs. The Mariners have
something to play for while the Angels
don't. The Mariners play again as they
have more recently. They might as well
pack in since they are playing this way.
The Angels score two runs in the first
innings which has been common a lot
too. The Angels scored two more in
the third inning. The top of the 4th
Cal Raleigh hits a three run homer
so here we go the Mariners may win
after all. Kade Anderson has been
struggling in this one unlike his
previous start. He gave up a run
in the bottom of the fifth. He leaves
with one out.
Cooper Criswell comes in and we
hope he stops the bleeding however
he gives up another run. The Mariners
are now down by three. How they have
played recently except last Saturday
it would be hard to come back from
a three run deficit. They are playing the
Angels and have four innings to turn
it around.
The Mariners scored one more run
which isn't enough in the 7th inning.
JP Crawford hits a home run which
shouldn't surprise us. The weakness
of the Mariners comes up.
Interesting the Mariners have a winning
record at home against lefties at 9-8.
On the road they are now 5-12. The
Mariners win at home because the pitchers
have a good earn run average. The
interesting thing is they hit better on the
road than at home but they give up a
one run more on the road.
What makes this frustrating is the
Mariners have a record of 70-81.
They have to win all remaining games
which is eleven to go 81-81. Don't
think it will happen. Another thing
is the Angels have won only 57
games and the Mariners have won
more games against their division
than any other.
This team not only having problems
overcoming their weaknesses which
I include the management decisions
starting with Jerry Dipoto to Dan Wilson.
Most figure that Dan Wilson will be
fired or he will resign. In my opinion
again Dipoto should too. In fact I like
to see it before this road trip is over.
This way the fans will have something
besides bad memories.
The final score Angels 6 Mariners 4
Logan Gilbert starts on Tuesday the
Angels will start a right hander so
Laz Montes will start it looks like.
He has been one of the bright spots.
I which the Mariners would start him
against some lefties to see if he
can hit against some of them.
Go M's.
