Mariners (73-64) @ Rays (67-69) Sep 1-3, '25...

[sutz]

OK, got one from the Guardians, need some more road wins...

Probables:

Luis Castillo 8-7 RHP

S. Baz 8-11 RHP

B. Woo 12-7 RHP

D. Rasmussen 10-5 RHP

G. Kirby 8-6 RHP

A. Houser 7-4 RHP

One site has TBD for Woo's spot. Will keep tabs on that one. With no off day, it seems unlikely they would tinker with the rotation, but who knows.

New faces coming up!

Hmmm, a 3rd catcher for the stretch run? Why not? Minors are almost done for the year, so he'll get more playing time here than home on his couch.

Yep and he might just get some hits

 

[SoulfishHawk]

2-1. It's gonna happen.
As far as Ford goes, I suspect it's DH only.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Geezus man. Can we f***** learn how to run bases? Ridiculous

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Castillo just isn’t very good, he looks like a solid #4 starter.

He’s always been a power pitcher who now tops out around 95mph. Pretty clear to me he won’t be part of the playoff rotation assuming we make it.

 

[Goldfinger 007]

Here we go again..... Castillo just plain sucks. #4 or #5. Gonna be paying him that $25mil next year because nobody is taking that off their hands in the off-season.

Look at his home/away splits. He's been very good at home, and pretty damn bad on the road. This is the case for all of our starting pitchers except Woo. However, Castillo's home/away splits are more extreme than the others. One particularly eye popping stat is opponents average against. Opponents are only hitting .206 against Castillo at home. They're hitting .320 against him on the road.

 

[Goldfinger 007]

Castillo is absolutely horrendous. Already coughed up 5 runs. That's the game most likely. Definitely done pretending he gives them a chance to win.

 

[NoGain]

We need another 6 run inning rally.

Right now...yes or no answer...do the M's make the playoffs this year?

 

[Bobblehead]

just destined to suck.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

We know how this movie ends. Football time

 

[Maulbert]

Right now...yes or no answer...do the M's make the playoffs this year?

Do you even ever watch this team?

 

[Ruminator]

Right now...yes or no answer...do the M's make the playoffs this year?

Oh sure. All the way to the World Series.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Holy hell. They legit look like they don't care.

 

[sutz]

That was fugly. Bad start to series.

Not much to say, other than welcome back Rivas with the 2 run homer to break the shutout.

Other than that, no pitching, no hitting. Not gonna win many games like that.

Yankees?
