I don’t think I’ve fully wrapped my head around how impressive it really is that the Os are four games up on the Rays after the way the Rays started the season, and how well they’ve been playing recen

My wish is for Tampa Bay and Texas to have a wonderful, competitive 3 game series that results in a Texas win in game 3, a 21 inning 24-23 thriller.

No wonder you are so angry.  If they win 105 and we win 104 it is time to tip your hat to Tampa.

Mariners hometown announcers were giddy Verlander only 93 in the first inning, in contrast to Castillo 99.

He threw Julio four straight curveballs, which could have been either a baring your teeth attack plan, or Verlander pitching scared depending on your spin.

8Ip. 1ER 8K.

Don't think he was scared.

 

Oh look 8 innings, 8 strikeouts and under 100 pitches.

Hometown announcers will say anything.     We know from the King kerfuffle the Seattle ones can be sensitive.

With good fortune, Orioles Bats will give him something to be scared of this October and the ones to come.

Shortening up pitching staffs for the sprint, I see Andrew Heaney has joined a bullpen in TEX same as Michael Lorenzen in PHI, and TEX has an Undecided listed for tonight.

If the Sigbot knows its 3rd starter, it might be nice to get whoever has the short straw out of Kremer or Means a relief appearance this week.

The Mariners last touched their 19 games over high water mark on 9/2.

They are 7-14 since, including 5 wins over Oakland and no Shohei Angels.     Javier and Framber could well settle the field tonight and tomorrow, throwing the Mariners into a spoiler role during their 4-game finale with the Rangers this weekend.

Noted workhorse George Kirby in their way tonight.

Ah yes, Mr. "Take me out after 90 pitches". One of my least favorite players now.

According to this website, Toronto's magic number to clinch a playoff spot is 3, and their magic number to clinch WC2 and the #5 seed is 5. Once the Blue Jays clinch their playoff spot, which they will probably do during their series with the Yankees, what is their motivation to keep winning? Wouldn't they rather be the #6 seed and go play Minnesota, who haven't won a playoff game in almost 20 years, than go to Tampa Bay or Baltimore as the #5 seed? I'm not saying they are going to lay down in their final series, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't go all out to try to win it, either.

Excellent point, but individually, players always want to do their best.

Yes they do, but only if their manager pencils them in. Let's just say if the Orioles badly stumble and need the Jays to win on Sunday, I don't think Gausman is getting that start, even if a theoretically better seed hangs in the balance.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      If he has been injured all this time, why are they still letting him play? After a month of poor performance with an injury, they should have sat him. EDIT - Screw a month, 2 weeks.

      And McCann is our worst RHB facing a dominant lefty with reverse splits. You have to think a K is a high likelihood.  And then to send him up there with Ramon on 3rd, you have to expect the same outcome.

      I don't like hearing that a catcher has a back issue -no matter how big or how small it is- at age 26.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      IMO he made two decisions that were clearly wrong, pitching to Witt and not PR Holliday, to go along with a couple others I didn’t agree with but are certainly debatable. There is no doubt that the game was lost because the bats couldn’t push a run across, but everyone has a job to do, and like the batters, Hyde didn’t do his.

      I use the StatCast search function. It’s a little more complicated for chase rate, ground ball rate, popup rate, and sweet spot rate because you need to adjust selected pitch attributes/outcomes as well as total pitch definition and then use % of pitches. I believe popups are categorized by stringers and generally capture balls that an infielder could catch.  I believe Adley’s fly balls have gotten can of cornier even without the popups.

      ...or simply choose not to even attempt to play situational baseball.  As I posted in another thread, 0-0 game both teams aces are dealing.  Ced leads off the inning with a double.  Your #9 hitter (McCann) is coming to the plate with your two best hitters (Gunnar and Westburg) to follow. Instead of bunting Ced to 3rd and almost assuring yourself a 1-0 lead which firmly puts the pressure on KC, Hyde chooses to let McCann swing away.  He feebly strikes out, Gunnar grounds out (there was your run), and Westburg flies out.  0 runs, 1 hit, 0 errors. 1 left on....

      Adley - Is it an injury? Is it a woman? Is it the "process?" Is it just who he is at his age? What Is It? And no, I'm not doing a pole. Wait till 2025 for the answer - I think. Till then - speculate. This off season goin be fun on here. This thread kinda makes me miss Rick Dempsey and I have absolutely no idea why. 😄 Oh yea, he was our last WSMVP.
