Not to be rood, but Wood is too good!

Mariners will be in a foul mood after their bats are chewed!

Best hope for Kirby is a tasty postgame slurpy!

Ms pitched Woo yesterday (old-timey pun intended) and will now face Big Woo. I won’t be awake for the end of this one,

Fascinating game coming up. It would be an incredible one to see Misiorowski pitch against Logan Gilbert for the 12, but the Mariners have been hot

Cal Raleigh and Randy Arozarena are on fire of late

That’s what conventional wisdom and old school scouts want you to think

As exciting as this 10-game winning streak has been, perhaps a little perspective here is still needed BECAUSE the MLB is still inherently UNfair with the very huge payroll discrepancies across the league due to the very huge local broadcast revenue discrepancies across the league.

10 games is 1/16th of a MLB season ... essentially the same as 1 game is 1/16th of an NFL season!

The Brewers have just won the equivalent of 1 game in the NFL in this current 10-game winning streak!

Ponder that for awhile!

Work still needs to be done by both the MLB and the Brewers -- but especially by the MLB!  The Brewers are putting in the good work already!

It was one thing to beat up on a poverty franchise like the Dodgers, but the Mariners are playing good ball right now and have their three best starters going in this series. The key to beating them is getting to their middle relievers, who have struggled and just threw a ton of innings in the last 2 games.

Agree with everything except that Woo was an all-star SP that started yesterday. Good bunch of starters though and a very good closer.

Yeah true, I'm not giving Woo enough credit. Not much difference between their top 4 overall. Woo is the one that has managed to stay healthy and Castillo tends to get better as the season goes on.

Going into the 2nd half I would have gladly taken a 3-3 road trip through LA and Seattle……..now that’s the worst case scenario………

[BeerSlide]

While Kirby has had flashes of last year's dominance since coming off the IL, he has been much more inconsistent thus far this year. Hopefully that inconsistency continues tonight.

Stolen base…..throwing error( or Swanson just whiffed on the throw not sure) allowing run to score and Witt to third ….Witt reached on an infield single that was a grounder right back to the mound.

It was fun to watch

4 pitches, 3 pop-ups.... I like this pace!

[markedman5]

Those might be the 3 highest pop ups I’ve ever seen……
