Losing control would assume that one has control to be lost. A couple infield errors led to a mind explosion by Padilla who decided to plunk Ichiro. That finally wole up the slumbering lumber of the Mariners as Beltre blasted his first homer of the season.
Behind 6-0 after four, the only runs we could muster were on home runs by Sosa and Wilkerson. Figure on the rare occasions that those guys produce that we'd probably win. Not if Kins, Cat, and Young go 0 for 9.
We're going to have a tough time with the Schillings, Santanas, Hardens, Lackeys, and King Felixes...when we face a Miguel Batista and a team in the division, we've got to get it done if we want to be more than a .500 team, which we aren't right now.
This from ESPN about today's foe Horacio Ramirez:
"The left-hander spent the last four seasons with Atlanta, where he went 30-22 with a 4.13 ERA in 84 starts and 86 appearances, but was hampered by injuries. He went just 5-5 with a 4.48 ERA in 14 starts last season after suffering a strained left hamstring, a line drive off his head and a sprained middle finger on his pitching hand.
Ramirez is 6-0 with a 2.95 ERA in eight starts career against AL opponents and will be making his first appearance versus the Rangers."
Ought to be a tough one. Side note: Danks looked pretty dang good again yesterday.
