Game 97, Mariners at Angels

King Felix vs. Garrett Richards, 7:05pm

Happy Felix Day!

Hisashi Iwakuma’s subtle improvements have been impressive to watch, but Felix’s have been even more surprising. It’s not like you doubt someone with Felix’s talent, but regression’s supposed to apply to everyone. Felix has been so good for so long, that you naturally wonder when he’ll start to taper off. I don’t really wonder about that any more – I just wonder what he’s going to do next. Watching Felix every five days is an absolute joy.

Garrett Richards has gone from struggling swing man, to Mike Scioscia’s doghouse, to emergency starter to near-All Star. The final all-star slot for the AL came down to Fernando Rodney and Richards, with the former getting the nod. The Angels weren’t terribly happy; now we’ll get to see how Richards responds to that slight.

Line-up:
1: Jones, CF
2: Romero, RF
3: Cano, 2B
4: Seager, 3B
5: Morrison, 1B
6: Hart, DH
7: Ackley, LF
8: Miller, SS
9: Sucre, C
SP: El Cartelua

    Has anyone heard anything about Saunders at all? I know we’re still inside the 15 day window, but initial reports were it might be somewhat longer than that.

    They said it was a grade 2 oblique pull, so he could be out a while depending on how good a healer he is.

  7. Longgeorge1 on July 19th, 2014 10:06 pm

    So am I

    Late August, Westy. That’s what I heard.

  13. dougman on July 19th, 2014 10:09 pm

    Watching on tape delay. so that bleep was about 3 minutes behind.

  14. Longgeorge1 on July 19th, 2014 10:10 pm

  15. Eastside Suds on July 19th, 2014 10:10 pm

    Is Lord Farquad warming up?

  20. Longgeorge1 on July 19th, 2014 10:14 pm

    I think Lloyd told Charlie if he gets the save he gets to shoot the arrow. Now he is doing his Rodney imitation

  21. Eastside Suds on July 19th, 2014 10:15 pm

    BIG win for the M’s against the hottest team in baseball. Well done!!

  22. msfanmike on July 19th, 2014 10:15 pm

  27. Grayfox3d on July 19th, 2014 10:16 pm

    Yay! we did it!!!! Nice job guys, sloppy at times, no one can hit, but we pulled one out! thank god.

  28. Dennisss on July 19th, 2014 10:25 pm

    Those were a couple of intense games. Great win!

  29. Westside guy on July 19th, 2014 10:33 pm

    A nine inning game would be nice, guys – I’m just sayin’.

  30. Sowulo on July 20th, 2014 5:59 am

    If the M’s lose on Sunday they will have gone 3-3 against the top two teams in all of baseball. If they win they will have won back to back series against them–one against the hottest team in baseball in their own yard. There is a lot to feel good about right now.
