5/8: Open Game Thread
Texas Rangers @ Seattle Mariners
It doesn't really do me much good anymore to say "hey this pitcher sucks" if the offense refuses to take advantage of it. So
LET'S GO MARINERS!!

I have a good feeling about this game.
Not only is Felix pitching but it’s our first gamethread with “Jeff” back!

As soon as I officially lose all hope (I'm a game or two away),
I would love to see WFB play every game this season, just so at the end of the year I don’t have to read another “I just want a chance to prove myself” quote. Give him 400 at-bats of .250/.300/.300 awesomeness and dare him to whine more. He still probably would anyway, huh?
