NorthWest Sports Blog brings you daily features on Oregon, Washington State, and BC amateur and pro sports teams.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners blogger Clinton Bell tells us to him the best “MY oh MY” play of the seventh week of the year had to be the steal of home by Dustin Ackley. With a 1-2 count on power hitting Jesus Montero, the pitch was in the dirt. Eric Wedge had a double steal on, Kyle Seager took second, Dustin Ackley took home, and on a throwing error, Seager ends up at third. National League managing at its best.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners blogger Clinton Bell tells us to him the best “MY oh MY” play of the sixth week of the M’s season had to be the home run by Casper Wells, his first of the year and a gift for mom on Mothers Day.A hanger by Andy Pettitte that was pounded to right field that gave the M’s a 4-0 lead.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners blogger Clinton Bell tells us to him the best “MY oh MY” play of the fifth week of the M’s season had to be the home run by Mike Carp, his first of the year. A first pitch breaking ball off of Nick Blackburn was pounded to right field that gave the M’s a 4-0 lead.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners blogger Clinton Bell tells us to him the best “MY oh MY” play of the fourth week of the M’s season had to be the grand slam on Canadian soil by the Mariners Canadian baller Michael Saunders. This ball just barely cleared the wall, and in the event that Bautista would have caught it, the M’s still would have gone up in the 10th.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners blogger Clinton Bell tells us to him the best “MY oh MY” play of the second week of the M’s season had to be the first MLB milestone by new M’s pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma. With the game out of hand Mariners manager Eric Wedge decided to finally give Iwukuma a chance to pitch in game 15 against the Chicago White Sox. He got a pop up! Nice!
NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners blogger Clinton Bell tells us to him the best “MY oh MY” play of the second week of the M’s season had to be the Mike Cameron ceremonial first pitch on opening night for the M’s. A little strut to his step at first, before breaking into a trot, Cameron was met with a stadium full of cheers for one of the Mariners all time favorites.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners blogger Clinton Bell tells us to him the best “MY oh MY” play of the first week of the M’s season had to be Chone Figgins bunt vs. the Oakland Athletics. Like Clinton has been saying for the last four months; speed wins baseball games. And any time a guy like Figgins can turn a bunt into an RBI like this, you have something special brewing.
