As expected, Morrow is getting hammered. This guy was drafted before Lincecum, but so far in his career he's been a bust. It's usually a good idea to either fade him or just completely lay off when he's pitching.

so far, you definitely called it! you know your home team, hope you're turning that into some profits!

Yeah, I try to pick my spots with the M's. I very rarely bet on them, but I will definitely bet against them from time to time. IMO, they are one of the more predictable teams in the majors. Over the last few years they've had some of the best pitching fades you could ask for -- Carlos Silva, Horacio Ramirez, Jeff Weaver, etc. Unfortunately, those guys are all gone now.

As for Morrow, I have to admit he actually did a pretty good job of settling down. It looked like Texas might chase him early, but all and all that wasn't a bad performance for him considering how good the Rangers lineup is.

whew...that pitching change really scared me.

Yeah, I give the M's a lot of credit for hanging in this one. I really thought Texas would break it open early. Texas should hang on and win, but the M's have done a good job of keeping it close.
