George "Jefferson" Kirby game thread

[seth8734]

Fuck. Idk if this guy is really good or this offense is really bad? He is young and good numbers so gonna guess good young stud. Just handing us our asses tonight!

Kirby is nails tonight. Feels like 2-3 runs is all they need. Give him SOME DAMN RUNNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSS

Wow Early April offense we have not missed u. Bring back late April PLEASEEEEE!!!!!

Bro, Mariners pitchers aren't the only ones that are allowed to be good. This kid is throwing a good game. The players have never seen him before. Shut up about the offense

Raley looks good with that push bunt

[Millikin]

Good problem to have. I think Woo profiles better than Hancock out of the pen. Will be interesting to see if they put one of the guys there, or keep one of them in Tacoma stretched out.

Maybe we get a decent Brash replacement out of it.
Take Woo or Hancock, and see what they're like when they can spend all their energy in one inning.
It certainly worked for Brash.

[Millikin]

Well look at that!
Garver with a 2b

Wow, then Raley drives him in! I was starting to think we'd get blanked.

[Juliooooo]

Raley!!!!

[seth8734]

Hell yea new guys showing up!

Fuck Moore is bad. Give Rivas a shot!

[seth8734]

Rojas stinging the ball just great defense on thier side. Just missed that. Alright Hopefully Kirby can continue and our offense scratches a run or 2 more.

[Millikin]

Damn, good drive by Rojas... One more visit to the weight room and that might have been out of Carroll's reach.

They better not dare!
They fucked Brash by overusing him in the pen.

They need to stop with this 6 innings and 3 relievers every night nonsense. I can't stand it. Hancock should've went 8 last night. Kirby should go 8 here tonight. They've been getting 6, 7 days of rest and only throwing 90 pitches a night. There's plenty more in the tank for these starters. At what point do we get to say it's no longer early?
Let your horses pitch. Pitch count and innings are not the issue causing injuries. It's lack of rest for the arms couple with max spin, max effort. I don't thikn the M's are among league leaders in spin, so if they stop going max effort and get more rest, the pitchers should be good long term to throw 110, 120 pitches on occasion.
