Man, I go away on a fishng trip for three days and I miss three big wins, a Gamel tater, Povse gets the call and NOW my man Moore is a Mariner!!!
Christmas comes early!!!
As to Gamel: I missed the game, so I didn't see the actual homer, but it sure looked (from highlights) that he was tying to launch one. Looks like it was a 2-2 count and he was looking for that pitch.
If so, he's adjusted again. Early in the season, at 2 strikes, he saw a steady diet of fastball up and out of the zone. He doesn't bite at that pitch now. And yesterday it looked like he was trying to drive one.
As pointed out, he can't BABIP a gazillion forever, but he's a player, without a doubt, and he's growing....all the better.
Moore last pitched on the 15th, I think. Nearly 2 weeks ago, I suggested that he might get his 1st start, bumping Gallardo, on the 22nd. That's tomorrow. What do you guys think? The 23rd is Felix's return. He's not getting that one.
I can't imagine we throw both Moore and Povse out of the pen, to begin with. Moore could go on the 24th, but that would bump Gviglio, who just had another nice outing. So I'm betting on tomorrow! Which would mean he officially lapped Gallardo in June. Right on schedule.
Kuma with a dismal Tacoma outing yesterday, but Segura was in the lineup.
I'll miss Tyler Smith (the M's currently have three Beavers on the squad), but there is no room for him here, right now.
And shortly we will say, "What's the motter with Motter?" When he goes back to Super Ute, anyway.
Have a happy Zeus Day!
Go team.
