Last night's was a game last we lose in 2013, 2014 and 2015. We should have stomped all over them, with Fister throwing seven walks, all those men on base waiting for the big blow, but, baseball. Safeco field, Mariners, April, Team we should beat (Astros).
So happy we gutted it out though. So glad we made the plays when we had to: Seager's throw to first, Iannetta's CS of Gómez, Cishek getting a weak grounder from Altive on a bad boy located pitch to end it. Tough, tough plays. But Taujian...last night he was a revelation.
I get mad when I think of Jack's butchering so much of our drafting. Yes, yes, unfair I know. But, Ackley, Hulthen, (stupid autocorrect absolutely refuses to allow me to type Danny's name correctly) and the coup d'tat: I am so tired of watching Mike Trout beat us, being so great, and me left thinking, again unfairly so, "He should be a Mariner. Why on earth is he an Angel?"
But...Taijuan Walker. Oh baby. All is forgiven if we get to keep this Taijuan Walker.
