Elias has already thrown 21 pitches this inning. Our bullpen is already gassed from yesterday.

I really hate pitchers who try to pick off runners on second.

Also that run wouldn't have been their if you had the stones to challenge Giants coaching staff.

He is a dream boat and if the Angels are going to lose they might as well lose big assuming the bullpen is intact for tomorrow.

If the Mariners can pull their heads out of their butts then we'll be 5 back on both teams by the end of tonight :ohdear:

I'm glad to see that Panik and Crawford are being as ineffective at the plate as they are on the field today.

I've never seen a pitcher pitch so well and get screwed over so badly. Peavy deserves better than this game.

I have feeling this is one of those situation where I would say the same thing if the call was upheld.

DJ LeMahieu's foot reached the plate before the catcher tagged him.

Is this Mariner game real life?

We are getting 2-hit shut out by a guy with a 6.55 ERA.

I like his thousand yard stare and "gently caress my life" smile.

Also all the swearing. I would be swinging every time he yelled, "gently caress!"

Think a lot of those are from Darvish and Martin Perez pitching early in the season.

edit: Checked the starting pitcher of each shutout games

Darvish 6
Perez 3
Lewis 2
Saunders 1
Harrison 1
Ross 1
Tepesch 1
Mikolas 1

Some Numbers: Sep 28, 2006; "LET'S GET DOWN TO WORK!!"

That Mariners game was depressing. Elias actually pitched pretty well, giving up only the one run in 5 innings, but the Rangers' starter just blanked the Ms.

The only bright spot was that one of the camera guys came up to my section and I got on the big screen for a few seconds.

Also, Cano had a throwing error and didn't try for a DP in the same inning. I wonder if that's related to him leaving the game yesterday?

Tedd_Not_Ed: Feb 16, 2014; I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.
