Two years into a five-year, $64 million contract, Adrian Beltre has produced a .262 average, 44 home runs, and 176 RBIs. However, after the All Star break in 2006, Beltre slugged .552 with a whopping 18 home runs. Does this strong second half bode well for a turn-around in 2007, or will Mariners fans have to deal with 'A-Drain' once again? This blog intends to follow the 2007 season for Adrian Beltre, and the Seattle Mariners, and promises to hold no punches.
Holy smokes, where have I been?
Who knows...
Anyway, lets do a recap of the M's first weekend of June, shall we?
taking 3 of four from The Strangers was a great start, especially since the only game they lost was a one run loss on Friday night, 8 to 9, as the Four foot tall Kenny freakin' Lofton snagged a would be 2 run go ahead homer from big bad Adrian Beltre in the eighth inning. And if that wasn't enough, "KF" Lofton hit a sacrifice fly to give Texas the lead for good. And if THAT wasn't enough, Beltre rolled his wrist over late in the game and is still MIA.
What a horror of a loss...
but other than that, what a fun weekend!
Great hitting (outscoring the good ol' boys 33-24, out hitting them 47-39), great pitching, especially in clutch situations, and an all around defensive whipping as Seattle commited only one error during the series in comparison to Texas' five.
Also, Ichiro set a new M's record by hitting in his 25th consecutive game, promptly going hitless the next day.
The Orioles come into town tommorrow, and a match up of Erik Bedard and Felix Hernandez could be a marquee game. However, due to both teams recent surging hitting, coupled with worn out rosters, I see a bit of a slugfest at the safe monday night. M's pulling it out 8-7.
