I got to listen to this over the Internet today as the Mariners were broadcasting this. However, I couldn’t listen much due to work going on, and from the bits I did listen to we played a pretty sloppy game. I also never seem to get into it as much when it’s another team’s broadcasters. My mind wanders, and I have a hard time paying attention.
Walks killed us this game. We gave up 6 of them, and I believe 4 of them scored. Can’t win games giving away runs like that. Ryan Drese (who I’d prefer go away) and Brian Shouse stunk up the joint. Actually Drese wasn’t TOO bad, but he did give up a couple. Shouse gave up 3 in .2 of an inning – not good. Colby Lewis gave up no earned runs in his two innings, and none were given up by Erasmo Ramirez & T Williams either.
I’m also noticing that we haven’t had many longballs this spring. I know our offense is supposed to be different this year, but there’s been only one or two, which is kind of surprising, given that we’ve played 7 games, and at least one B game that I’m aware of. Offensively today we only had four hits, we were pretty well shut down, with no player getting more than one hit.
Looking at the box score it doesn’t too too bad, but it sounded sloppy on the webcast I listened to. Can’t wait for the real thing.
