Chaos Ball no game for Wizard Ball, Mariners lose to Zack Greinke, 1-0

After the excitement of last night and the thrilling return, the Mariners attack tonight had a second slump that has not been seen since the Killers were released Sam’s Town on an unsuspecting audience.

Okay, that’s not exactly fair. Sam’s Town contains at least ‘When You Were Young’, a certified banger who regained the early glory of the Vegas band’s breakthrough debut album Warm up. It’s not ‘mr. Brightside ”or“ Somebody Told Me ”, but it’s a great track on its own, full of the rising band excitement and driving guitar riffs that made Warm up some Grade-A road trip music. It also has ‘Read My Mind’, which no one tells, is my favorite Killers song and one of my favorite songs. The Mariners offense does not yield such hits today; instead, the offense eliminated a total of seven times, took no step and did not score an extra basic hit against a magical Zack Greinke.

Armed with a quick ball to 91, Greinke kept the Mariners off the board for eight innings and needed just 91 stands. The Mariners had a chance to get to Greinke in the fifth chance, when José Marmolejos and Evan White took the lead with backstrokes; Unfortunately, Dylan Moore and JP Crawford despite hitting the ball very hard! at 103.6 km / h, the ball aimed straight at Wizard Greinke the Gray, who dropped the ball cleverly harmlessly out of his glove like the top scoop on a child’s ice cream before turning around and starting the doubles. I would include it, but it makes me honest to look hurt. You can see it here if you have the stomach for it.

It struggles, too, because Chris Flexen deserved better. Flex gave up a lot of contact – ten hits, including the three balls hit the hardest, the hardest of which was Washington native Taylor Jones’ RBI drive at 110 EV – but worked wonderfully out of trouble and all four of his stands effectively mixed. to keep the Astros series wrong. Greinke will get all the attention in this game for his eight overs and only needs 92 spots to get there, but Flexen hit six-plus at 86 spots with a similar attack as ball ratio and could probably go deeper than the Mariners offense would record him. … well, any runs.

It really makes one think.

In other good news: the bullpen! Yes, it is as strange for me to type as it is for you to read. But Casey Sadler came in and cleared after Flexen allowed a lead single for aquiline nose Jason Castro in the seventh. Will Vest worked the eighth and walked Carlos Correa, but also collected two strikeouts, including the freezing of Michael Brantley on a named strike try to open the innings, which I would have included entirely as poison if I had not been so out of the game is not watched at this point. Keynan Middleton also scored a pointless ninth, with two home runs, and also easily set the curve for the speed leader in this game:

Also check out the swing-and-misses! It’s pretty good to get a little closer in front of the Astros’ and almost fit the game’s starter in just one innings. Keynan was also pretty excited about it and brought the energy we love to see, even in a sleepy 1-0 loss:

Tomorrow is the rubber match of the series, which starts at 13:00 PT. I’m going to turn this thing around, can you read my mind? Please read my mind, Mariners. The music references in the mid-2000s will continue until the offense improves.
