Flexen has left approximately 39 pitches right in the whomp-em zone.

How do you know they were in the whomp-em zone?

So are we going to lose this one on a dumb rule where you can get catcher’s interference when the batter doesn’t even swing.  Then we get a SO in a SF situation on a bad ump call.

[Aggies7]

I know Seattle hasn’t had a playoff club since the Clinton administration, but my god the stadium is morgue-like

[USAFChief]

Cal Raleigh.

Sounds like a 15 seed in the NCAA basketball tournament. 

[Aggies7]

I would hope archer is allowed to give us 5 innings, but I very much fear that will be the ceiling. And a few more pitches and the 5th isn’t guaranteed

And a stadium that is still awesome.

Seems like every time we play here, it’s quiet. Have to go back to the year they gave us a couple huge losses down the stretch in 08 to find a time when I remember the stadium bumping

You know the box they project on your TV screen to simulate an approximate strike zone?

Draw an imaginary line from the top left corner to bottom right. Another from the top right to bottom left.

Where they intersect: the whomp-em zone.

[Aggies7]

Wow what a play. Saved archer’s behind.

[PopRiveter]

I’m ready to just say it.

I love Chris Archer. Full stop.

[stringer bell]

Glove save by Gio!

Oh. That sounds complicated.

 

I was hoping they'd just get whomped...

 

Would be simpler, no?

[Montdak]

However for the umpteenth time a batter (Celestino in the same SF situation) watches a fat 3-0 pitch go by then swings at pitcher’s pitches.  A real peeve of mine.  I say bomb’s away 3-0.

They manage to boo pretty loud for Correa.

Yep that’s about as animated as they’ve been 

[Doctor Gast]

Correa should have scored  double w/ 2 outs

[operation mindcrime]

You can do it Miranda!!!!!

He would have been out by 40 feet.

They got tired of booing their own team 

[Doctor Gast]

Not again! no score w/ RISP

[Aggies7]

Does archer come out for and or finish the 5th

Tommy Watkins out at home special, baby.

[stringer bell]

Miranda needs to be more selective. He chases too many out of the zone. 

[Aggies7]

Do you think LaTroy likes Richard?
