I guess Walker hit 2 dingers today I missed the first one and Altuve hit 1 in the first,

Caritini and Diaz in IL.  I was wondering why Salazar was called up

Walker’s first HR was almost a check swing. It barely cleared the RF foul pole and the fence. The way it came off the bat, I assumed it was foul and then I went….man, it went out. Altuve and Walker went back-to-back HRs.

Well now 3 up with a 2 hit shutout 2 to 0.  Left bunches on base .  Javiar with no hitter through six, great pitching.  De Los santos gives up the 2 hits and gets the win and believe it or not Ort the save.

Need to figure out how to give our good pitchers some run support.

I hate the larger bases and the oven mitts. The game dimensions have been fine for 100s of years. To me, this isn’t fair to those who had to steal with the smaller bases and no hand extensions.

A great pitching performance by Arreghetti 8 Ks 1 hr thru 6 tied 1-1 thru 8 Abreu way off lose 4-1.  Seattle loses 4-3 so still 3 up.

We just left too many on again.  That has to improve somehow.

Oh well destined to lose today.  Good pitcher pitching no run support.  Couple with playing  the last place team syundrome.  Hunter pitched well ebough to win.  lose 3-0 with only 2 hits.  Seattle wins so up 2 now.

IMO McCullers is washed up and something need to be done.  Was great once but not now.
