vs. MARINERS, 5/18

[Slim Shady]

Seattle has great defense

[bpilktree]

Tillman getting his body ahead of his arm on lots of fastballs. He is staying back good on change though.

[Chavez Ravine]

That was shutdown.

[Aristotelian]

5th inning and only 6 pages in the game thread...Did the internet break?

[Chavez Ravine]

Nice at bat from Kim.

[Slim Shady]

Rickard's bunts>>>

[Can_of_corn]

Great at bat by Kim.

Nice at bat from Kim.

Kim with a decent at bat.

[slakattack]

We're going to win this game - lock it.

[Chavez Ravine]

Kim and Rickard are the scrappy power duo!

[Aristotelian]

Sacrifice situation, any chance they do it with Manny?

[Sessh]

Kim is just missing those pitches. It's not by much, but good discipline to draw the walk. Horrible bunt by Rickard, though. We got lucky that wasn't a DP.

[Aristotelian]

Same outcome...glad it wasn't a double play

[Can_of_corn]

Sacrifice situation, any chance they do it with Manny?

The increased run expedency you get from second and third with one out over first and second with zero outs is not, imo, worth taking the bat out of Manny's hands. Assuming of course that the sacrifice was successfully completed.

[Chavez Ravine]

Kim with a decent at bat.

I thought about saying that a few of those early strikes should have been smacked somewhere, but I settled on "nice" [emoji1]

[paulcoates]

Why oh why doesn't Adam Jones run hard on ground balls
