vs. MARINERS, 7/24

[SteveA]

I would have someone up in the pen.

When our pitcher is under 80 pitches and throwing a shutout?

If you were managing this team the relievers' arms would fall off because of all the warmup pitches you would have them throw.

[OFFNY]

Iwakuma throws a ton of strikes, too bad.

I'll bet that he wishes that he had a few of those back.

[WEAVERMAN]

KG vs. Hernandez, go Kevin.

[gmelson26]

Wow that was a strike?

[TheDirtyBird]

It pains me to hear Kevin say that he thinks about getting sent down. Stop playing with his mind. Just turn him loose, worry free!!!!

[WEAVERMAN]

Boy we've seen some good pitching for a week now.

He's a drama queen when it comes to Chen.

Every fifth day, every fifth day. We need a good or great KG.

Chen hasn't done much to dissuade it this season.

[VeveJones007]

Why not, let's light him up.

Yep. With this lineup, they can put up runs in bunches.

[Malike]

Chen hasn't done much to dissuade it this season.

The only starters that have been better are named Norris and Tillman.

I like tomorrow night's game for Kevin. He gets to pitch in a pitcher's park against a weak offense. And let's face it, if there was one game on this road trip we are most likely to lose, the game vs Hernandez is it. Yes, I'm a fan and I root for us to win EVERY game. But I don't think there's a lot of pressure on Gausman in tomorrow night's game. Don't worry about who's pitching against you, go out, throw your best game, and if we can't touch Hernandez, so be it. Regain some confidence and come back for a big start next Wednesday or Thursday.

[WEAVERMAN]

I remember in 2012, Chen was in the same position as tonight, right here in SEA but the BP, it was Pete Strop, blew the game. Let's make tonight a different story.

[MrOrange82]

The only starters that have been better are named Norris and Tillman.

I think KG will leave little doubt by the end of the year, and I'd take Gonzo over Chen if forced to choose between the two. Chen's piled up wins, but that's not necessarily a reflection of how well HE'S done. The offense just scores for him.

That's good approach Steve.
