July 20, 20214 yr Author Quote Major League Baseball on Monday named Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger and Brewers shortstop Willy Adames the Players of the Week presented by Chevrolet for the first batch of games coming out of the All-Star break. This is the first time both Haniger and Adames have been named Player of the Week. Haniger helped lead the Mariners to a series victory over the Angels over the weekend, going 5-for-11 (.455) with a pair of homers, seven runs scored and six RBIs for Seattle. Haniger has now homered in four of his last seven games dating back to before the break, and he has reached base in 18 straight games dating back to June 25. https://www.mlb.com/news/mitch-haniger-willy-adames-players-of-the-week

July 21, 20214 yr Ok so that is why you hustle. Seager beat out a double play that he could easily have dogged on and ended the inning, but he didn’t and then France doubles to plate 2. Well fucking done.
July 21, 20214 yr Author Stupid day games. So, from what I'm reading Middleton gives up 5 runs in the first. but Darren McCaughan in his MLB debut goes 5 innings and only gives up a single run and the Mariners lose 6-3. That's a nice debut, though. Maybe his nerves were calmer since the M's were already out of it.

July 22, 20214 yr Me too, amigo. I was going to quote myself and say "fuck you" but I hadn't done that yet.

July 24, 20214 yr -1.9 bWAR by a reliever on July 23 is fucking difficult. And he was hurt for awhile too.
July 24, 20214 yr Was at Wrigley today watching the Cubs put the beat down on the Dbacks, who are just really really bad. Nice to see the Ms aren’t horribad this year. Those guys looked like they didn’t even want to be there and it’s July.

As long as he’s not catching I don’t care as much. Raleigh with a HR is nice. edit: good lord that was a 444 footer into the middle deck. He crushed it. Edited July 24, 20214 yr by MC Fresh Breath
July 25, 20214 yr Author I was too lit to type much else. Kelenic took two key walks last night including in the 9th (he was the winning run on that wild pitch). That at least showed something. Better than swinging for the fences and missing. Haniger, dude, Haniger. 2 HR's and another hit on top of that. Dude is on fire right now. Fuck the A's. Edited July 25, 20214 yr by MC Fresh Breath
July 25, 20214 yr Author Good inning. Making Irvin eat his words. Marco’s pitch count pretty high though.
July 26, 20214 yr Author Pretty good homestand momentum. So tonight we start an inexperienced pitcher against the Astros. That doesn’t seem good.
July 26, 20214 yr Y’all are on fire. Should be a great series. A Seattle road trip is very high on my to do list

July 26, 20214 yr Author Hope its a good series. We're starting a pretty inexperienced pitcher tonight. And aside from Haniger and (very strangely) Torrens, our offense isn't very much to look at. Oh, and Mr. Seager. Still, the lineup doesn't exactly scare opposing pitchers.

July 26, 20214 yr I’m pulling for y’all to catch the A’s and make the playoffs. Of course not at the Astros expense. However it seems the Mariners success this year is smoke and mirrors. The record in 1 run games and extras is absurd and unsustainable. Will ownership make any trade deadline moves to improve that pathetic.offense? Edited July 26, 20214 yr by TonyTexas
July 26, 20214 yr Author To hell with pythagoras, wtf did he know? Its smoke and mirrors, for sure, but it has been fun. Edit: as long as Torrens is not catching. Meaning, I'll take the M's being over .500 this late in the season just about any year lately. Quote Will ownership make any trade deadline moves to improve I would be surprised if a drastic move was made. One of the dumbfounding things all year is the insistence on sticking with a 5 man rotation, and if the 5th starter is hurt (has happened a lot), then yay a bullpen day. Or some reliever gets the "you're the starter now dawg" tag. I mention this because as bad as the offense is, this maddening insistence on a 5th starter implies to me Dipoto and company are going to ride the year out as is, mostly. Now, Jerry likes to trade, so trades will happen. Will be they significant? Eh... Edited July 26, 20214 yr by MC Fresh Breath
July 26, 20214 yr Author I do think tomorrow is the game to catch, btw. Flexen vs. McCullers. Flexen has pitched way above his expectations lately.
July 26, 20214 yr Merrifield has gotten some mention, that wouldn't suck. Good thing is Tradin' Jerry can wait until most of this series is decided.
July 26, 20214 yr Author I'm missing a big chunk of the start of tonight's game, btw. Some fancy pants dinner thing I have to go to.
