Now, let's grab the getaway game to win the series. Have to stay ahead of the 'stros.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Rojas error cost us a run.

 

[Threedee]

Seriously? Why should I care about Toronto?

It's because we've been in the WC hunt for a while. Toronto's play, going forward, likely doesn't impact our getting into the postseason.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Kirby not super sharp, already up to 50 pitches and he’s not even out of the second inning. Going to need some quick innings out of him if not the pen is going to have to put in some work today.

 

[Chapow]

Rojas error cost us a run.

Made up for it there. That was definitely going to be another run if Rojas doesn't make a great play there.

 

[Chapow]

Rough outing for Kirby so far. Gonna need the offense to pick up the pitching again if they're going to get a win today.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Back to back homers for Candzone and Ford. And just like that we are back in it.

 

[sutz]

How about back to back by the new guys.

 

[Chapow]

Bottom of the order getting the M's back in the game. Nice.

 

[sutz]

Kirby out. They were hitting him hard and fouling off a ton of pitches. Hope the bullpen has some innings in them.

Welcome to the Mariners, Leone. Throw his butt right into the fire.

 

[Chapow]

Good inning from Leone.

No manager ever wants to pull their starter after 3 innings, but it was the right call. Kirby was, quite frankly, just bad today. Can't throw him back out there to continue struggling right after your offense just got you back in the game.

Yeah, can't fault Servais for that choice. I just hope the pen has the innings in them. Been used a bit lately.

Pretty unfortunate to get a very poor outing from Kirby today right after a poor outing from Castillo yesterday.

 

[sutz]

We survived the Castillo outing. Maybe we can pull it off again.

Bright side of the walk. Vogelbach isn't much of a steal threat.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Unless the offense picks up doesn’t look like we are going to win today. Starting pitching wasn’t good and the bullpen hasn’t been much better.

Leone looked solid today outside of the solo HR, we will need him. Pen is regressing for sure.

 

[sutz]

Need some magic bats again.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

No idea how this Mets team struggled as much as they did, and we are playing them after all the trades.

 

[sutz]

They obviously still have some talent on their roster.

 

[sutz]

Tough series loss to start the road trip. It doesn't get much easier going to Cincy and Tampa.
