Loving these sliders!
Just played an epic game against Oakland in game 4 of my season. I was using the mariners and it was tied 2-2 at the end of the 9th. Heading into the 11th.. Saunders singled up the middle, followed by single to left by Gutierrez. Then I pinch hit ibanez for Bay, so I had right vs lefty matchup, as Doolittle is left handed. Bay hits the go ahead run, a single to left to make it 3-2 as Saunders beats Youngs throw to the plate from LF.
Heading into the bottom of the 11th, Wilhelmsen looking to close out the middle of the lineup..
Lowrie singled to left (he's been killing me this series), then struck out Reddick. Cespedes comes up and absolutely crushes the ball to Seager @ 3rd base, going for the DP! No! He throws it over 2nd basemens head, to RF and Cespedes reaches 1st, lowrie then advanced to 3rd. Cespedes then steals 2nd, and Wilhelmsen is in a jam, 1 out 2 on. Down 2-0 to Moss, I painted the inside corner twice, 2-2. Next pitch, he hits it soft towards the mound, and Wilhelmsen was able to throw out lowrie and get the tag at the plate! Young is up, and I got him to ground out to 2nd to end the inning!!
Literally cursing the entire inning.. Somehow able to pull through and tie the series at 2 a piece, heading into the match up against the white sox.
It is these moments why, you really just sit back and enjoy the show!
