No one was able or willing to recap this game, which may have proven to be the best for everyone's mental health. Instead of a simple recap, here's a recap for three people directly live from T-Mobile Field.
Entries 1 to 3: Grant
When we made the acquisition of Mallex Smith, as a fast outside player, we assumed that he would come equipped with a stellar defense. I thought that he had to have the speed needed to hit the hole and throw someone who was trying to take an extra base.
After thirty games, I'm ready to admit defeat. Maybe his glove is not the right size and today he certainly did not get help from his pitcher. But when he dropped a line reader in his close vicinity on the second run, eventually leading to a three-point shot from the three-point Rougned Odor Moon that would not have happened if Mallex had made that pass, that was the last drop.
Of course, there were many other painful moments in the beginning. Elvis Andrus sent a baseball player to his pen at The Pen to give the Rangers a 3-0 lead 3-0. A double pair in the third base line and a few other singles (plus a third mistake) inflate the lead 8-1.
If we are looking for a bright spot, it should be Domingo Dinger on the first floor. After all, it was the only success that the Mariners managed to put together in the first three innings, juxtaposing six strikeouts.
Oh, and my rickety head does not move properly. At least there is that.
Innings 4-6: Zach
I'm going to defend Mike Leake to death. He is a medium to above average launcher for years. Although the first rounds were not what we wanted to see from Leake, he was clearly put to the test by an excruciating defense of Tim Beckham and Mallex Smith.
After a day at the bazaar yesterday, Scott Servais seemed determined to make the most of the average pitcher in his league. Fortunately, the karma pendulum completely shifted to Leake in the fourth quarter.
Rougned Odour hit a balloon at 100 km / h straight to the mound. He somehow bounced directly on Dylan Moore, who brought him back for the game. Two batters later, Nomar Mazara threw a flying ball that Mitch Haniger was able to follow until close.
It seemed that things could turn around.
Narrator: Things did not turn around.
The Mariners' outings and successes over the next two rounds were perfectly matched by ground failures, departures and mostly strikeouts. Every opportunity was spoiled militarily, and the Mariners allowed Mike Minor to escape without effort.
Meanwhile, Mike Leake continued to allow hard contact and earned a total of nine points allowed, including five earned. Mike Wright, newly acquired, relieves him and manages to please his new fans by abandoning a new round, raising the score to 10-1.
The summary of these three rounds: yuck.
Entries 7 to 9: John
** extremely voice Mike Blowers ** oh boy.
If you told me that the Mariners only used three pitchers tonight, I would be quite encouraged. Mike Leake probably went to the bottom! Mike Wright and / or Chasen Bradford have probably appeared! Anthony Swarzak may have had a beautiful redemptive exit!
1/3, reader. 1/3.
Mike Wright has worked around two hits for a scoreless run, but it will clearly be a work in progress. Chasen Bradford threw the eighth goal, leaving a huge dong to Joseph Nicholas Gallo, and the Mariners threw the sponge more blatantly. We had Vogelbach on the 1st. We have Dylan Moore on the hill. More importantly, we had Omar Narváez at 2nd base. Has he ever played in this life? Potentially. Did he do everything while being paid to play baseball? Absolutely not.
Dylan Moore jumped up there, swayed meatballs at 71-74 mph, was bombarded for four points and managed a run. He did better than his most recent launcher exit, when he allowed seven races not deserved in a single round for the Low-A Hickory Crawdads of the 2016 season. Since MLB and MiLB incompetently manage the entertainment products, I do not have a video to show you that because they have cleaned up the video before 2018 from their accessible database. Today, Moore has improved his performance in the minor league, although it is not his peripherals, and Narváez has even managed to record a forced withdrawal!
These exploits did not result in an offensive upsurge, as Mike Minor closed his playoff night at the top of his career from 13 to 7.0 IP, giving M two more chances to stand out. There were predictable elements here – Mike Leake against the mighty left-heavy Rangers always had a shady proposal – but it was horrible to watch, and mistakes and the offense exacerbated these frustrations. The resounding clubbing leaves the M's with a differential of +27 points, still 4th of the MLB and 3rd of the American League, but a considerable fall.
Tomorrow, the team will win a series, and little will matter what happened today, but apart from a free kick from Domingo Santana, the players had to bear a burden in the future of the Mariners not did not show up tonight and watch it. At least Jarred Kelenic has made a double comeback.
