The Mariners starting pitching is just incredible. They’ve given up 15 earned runs in their last 14 starts. 

I, assuming the mariners scored like 8 runs in that stretch

Using this gif is cultural appropriation. You can’t use that gif if your team won a World Series recently. Sorry, but my culture is not your costume. 

 

I am sure being a fan of a team that is always disappointing desensitizes you to the struggle. After enduring the dark days post-Bagewell/Biggio retirement, and through the absolute pit that was 3 consecutive 100+ loss seasons, I have grown accustomed to the glory of the golden era for the Stros. It hurts to see such bad baseball.

And holy moly, Jose Abreu is legitimately the worst player in baseball and the owner of the Astros signed him for 20 million a year when he was cosplaying GM after firing the two GMs who actually built the juggernaut of 2017-2022. I think he is turning into the baseball version of Jerry Jones, believing he was the actual reason for the success of the club and making himself the focal point. I am concerned that I may be in for an extended stretch of trainwreck roster management because of his meddling.

 

Now, of course, the early part of the season has included all except the #3 guy in the rotation being on the IL at some point already, so plenty of season left to turn things around. But maaaan does it make you feel sick to see the 100 million dollar closer blow 4 of his first 5 save opportunities. It is brutal to see a team lead the MLB in hits, but be near dead last hitting with RISP. Just bad bad baseball, and I'm a glutton for punishment that still watches every inning.

Obviously, the current pace won't hold up, but I've felt the Ms starting rotation is tops in the league since around the ASB last season. And they all got BETTER over the off season! If only Dipoto would have put together a lineup that can match, this would be a 100 win team with that firepower on the mound.

A great candidate for regular season GOTY, that Ms/Braves game. Pitching porn.

I’ll never agree with taking out a pitcher who has a no hitter going. I don’t care how many pitches he’s thrown.

Finally went out to Minute Maid to watch the Astros play and got to watch a great pitching matchup between Verlander and McKenzie. Both controlled the game and had few moments where they were really in trouble. Ended up going to extra innings again, and Steven Kwan won the game with an RBI double in the top of the 10th followed by a diving catch to prevent a run from scoring + ultimately a double play. That guy is so good. I’m glad he is finally on a squad that could really do damage in October. Shame that Bieber is out for the season though.

 

I need Bregman, Verlander, and Framber to be good so when the Astros are selling at the deadline the club can get a good haul. Nothing in this first month makes me think they’ve got the stuff to turn it around and even make it as WC3 😭

They have never been the same since losing Dusty Baker.
