Another good win against a good team. Our pitching was, again, very good & the hitters did just enough to win it...Julio's baserunning notwithstanding. Go M's!
I was thinking the exact same thing. It was only really a matter of time. I've had gripes about Munoz in the past, but he's really turned a corner this last month or so. Go Mariners!
Cal's bloop single out to center had me clenching every part of me that is capable of clenching. Glad to have a single, but glad there was no destruction derby in shallow center. whatever I can do to distract myself from Julio's baserunning...
Anthony is really chirping about the Astros being Mariners daddy’s on a highlight about them winning the series to a highly over performing team. Wait till we lose bud 😂
Seattle Mariners defensive wall: 2-runs allowed = an 80% win ratio. Great defensive job. There are three winning factors that are consistent in the history of MLB: 1, 3-runs and under allowed. 2. Running the pitch count up of the opponents' starting pitcher. 3. Teamwork makes the dream work. Or what Bill Belichick likes to say: "It doesn't matter, next man up." Yep, injuries, trades, strike outs, base hits, home runs ect.... are all going to happen. And that is true. But in order to maximize your effort and minimize their effort. Your defense is what will give your team an advantage over your opponent. Because you have become accustomed to playing at a high defensive level. And your opponent is not. And when it's time to perform. They WILL self desruct. But you will not. And that is your edge. "You are not going to win every game with great defensive. But you're going to be in every game with great defense." Bill Parcels
Nice series win against a team that has massively overperformed this year and got exposed. Woo has looked fantastic so far in his return from injury and has just gotten a little unlucky with long breaks in action (hopefully Jim Wolf is okay). Raley has been on a heater so far in May and that's been a big help in getting this team 2 games up in the division. Tough road trip ahead 10 games at Orioles, Yankees, Nationals. 5-5 wouldn't be an awful result, but if we can get 6-4 that'd be great.
Munoz multi inning save? check Bad baserunning by Julio? check Stress loaded ninth inning with small lead? check Fabulous starting pitching? check Seems like typical Mariners 2024 baseball to me
Munoz getting used to the long saves. This is good. Too many wussy pitchers and restrictive pitch counts this day and age. If his arm hurts, take him out otherwise, if he wants to pitch and gets results, just let him.
Thats not how the world works. People have lives, jobs, other responsibilities so they cant always watch the game live. Hence why the highlights are important. Not only that, but the highlights take out all the mundane and empty moments and all the little stuff that isnt active gameplay.
@@Digidude0 if you have work and lives, do whatever it is you do for that life and watch the highlights when they come out. If you don't have time to watch the game but need the highlights right away that sounds more like a you problem.
