dr4b: (mariners)
Today I went to the Mariners game with Farren. After the game I went to sleep, at about 6pm, and didn't wake up until 2am, so my sleep schedule is all out of whack. I watched the last few innings of the Nippon Ham Fighters vs. the Seibu Lions (in a 3-2 loss) on a webcast. Man, Ogasawara has a WEIRD swing. I swear I'd never seen it up close before.

Anyway, today's Mariners game was another 7-6 loss to the Rangers. Meche looked decent out there -- well, not great, but at least good -- for about three innings, and then he got ripped to pieces by the Rangers in the fourth. What was really kind of odd about it was the way the fourth inning went, making me wonder if Meche was tipping his pitches or something -- because every player that got a single that inning hit it to the exact same place -- right field. No joke. They were also really working up the pitch counts on him - he had 89 pitches on him when he got pulled with two outs in the fourth. He also either has slowed down his windup, or people were just stealing like crazy on him for no reason.
I swear this writeup isn't as long or detailed. )
