We HAVE TO see these starters go more than 5 innings, period. Coming off a 13-inning game, this bullpen is gassed.
3 of 4 has to happen. I don't expect a sweep, not realistic. But 3 of 4 would be huge.

I don't understand starters today at all, they have pitch counts that
do not help with injuries, I see more hurt in this era than I ever did
in all the eras I've watched baseball.
Something is off in teaching these pitchers how to pitch efficiently
and training to go more than 4-6 innings.

Robles and Rivas not in the lineup yesterday. We scored 1 run in 9 innings.
Hmm, I wonder if maybe that's something to think about for our manager? 🤔

No doubt. I was talking to the usher up by our seats and we were talking about back in the day when complete games were common. He went to games WAY back when one starter would throw a double header.

Why IBB Geno? He'd probably strike out anyway. :LOL:

More extra innings. We're gonna need the starting pitchers to start throwing complete games. :)

Harry Ford with the game winning sac fly to right. Tied with the Stros.

Frustrating as hell watching guys K with runners in scoring position, not even putting the ball in play. :mad:

I almost laughed when the IBBed Geno. Why? Just throw him sliders and he'll swing and miss. 🤷‍♂️

6 game winning streak and it doesn't really matter how in the end, but our bullpen is gassed. We need to start winning in 9 with starters going 6-7 innings.

The thing that cautions me, however, is the Mariner Sisyphus thing. Right when we roll the rock up to the tipping point, it rolls right back down again. Being a Mariner fan.

This team has kicked everyone in the nuts for 50 years. It is impossible to be optimistic.
