Mariners at Athletics Game Thread - 4/8/10

Doug Fister vs. Brett Anderson

Fister pitched well at the end of last year, but struggled mightily this spring. Anderson is probably the best pitcher on the whole A's staff, but he is very young.

The Mariners lineup:

Ichiro RF
Figgins 2B
Gutierrez CF
Bradley LF
Sweeney DH
Lopez 3B
Tuiasospo 1B
Moore C
Wilson SS

Gutierrez makes it look so easy.

Looks like I'm the only guy up here, so I'm abandoning this thread haha

I didn't know we had an offense?

[JosephC]

I guess we dont. Jack failed us on that part.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Not a good way to start the year to say the least. Hopefully we can do better in Texas...we really struggled there last year.

[JosephC]

Its Texas that kills fastball pitchers, no? We're in mega trouble there if I remember what they did last year to us.

[Igoe4Mariners]

Yeah, we are in trouble. Maybe Felix can help us avoid the sweep since he starts game 2.
