It never ceases to amaze me how thin the line is between dominance and being sent to the minors.

I tuned in too late, game already over and we don’t even have Sproat to make it interesting

Not all of us...

He’s probably going to get a few MVP votes. Stretch goal — he’s currently batting .290, if he can sustain his hit streak could he get to .300???

This comic was a meme on r/Mariners when Jarred Kelenic briefly had a resurgence: https://www.ginawynbrandt.com/work/how-jarred-kelenic-got-his-groove-back-646rj (warning — slightly NSFW and non-PC humor)

Yeah it was well managed and Murphy’s comments echoed that — basically “I gave him a super long leash and he still failed”.

Cross him off the list 🤣 Personally I hate scheduled bullpen games in the postseason. I’m fine with a short start (2x through order) but burning most of our stretch arms in a scheduled game weakens our ability to win a game later in the series where we have to make an unexpected early pitching change or a game that goes 12-13+ innings. So I would do a true 4 man rotation with Gasser/Harrison being the game 3 starter and going to the bullpen after 4-5 innings. Right now Gasser has the edge there but one solid Harrison start would change my mind. It took us a while to get there but I feel pretty good about the batting order these days. I’m in the Naylor camp as well for the last roster spot.

Never a doubt. 10 game lead

I feel bad for Sproat, that was tough to watch.

I know we were thinking "punt game" but we've got the A-lineup and our second-best starter going. Just need a bullpen sacrificial lamb if Henderson only goes 4 or 5.

We dropped a 6 spot on the Cubs in the first inning of game 1 last year… Rest is huge, huge, huge in the postseason when you want your high leverage arms to cover as many innings as possible and all your position players are banged up in some way. This is the modern era, they have sophisticated pitching simulators in the batting cages, the hitters don’t need to see live pitching every day to stay sharp.

Went home early feeling sick it sounded like

By like 100 to 1

D'backs and Padres are pushing hard. Crazier things have happened...

This crowd sounds jacked. On a Tuesday night!
