Bring on the asterisks.

 

[sutz]

Our first real test this season. Nice that they slipped the rotation to let Castillo start.

 

[Jerhawk]

Let's go Ms! Beat Houston!

We need our bats to come alive!

 

[beastalamode]

We need 3 runs from our offense to win this game.

 

[beastalamode]

We need 30 runs from our offense to win this game. Dunno how that zero got left out

 

[Chapow]

Kolten Wong gets the M's back in the game with a bases clearing double with the bases loaded.

Believe it or not, Wong is one of our hottest hitters right now. He's straight up on fire compared to Julio and Ty.

 

[Bobblehead]

Whats up with those two slackers?

Believe it or not, Wong is one of our hottest hitters right now. He's straight up on fire compared to Julio and Ty.

It's not just them 2 everyone else is pretty much doing poorly.

 

[Chapow]

It's not just them 2 everyone else is pretty much doing poorly.

Didn't say it was. I just have higher expectations for Julio and Ty than I do for the other guys.

 

[Chapow]

And it seems like Julio and Ty are about the coldest hitters on the team right now.

 

[Crizilla]

The entire team has been struggling they are dead last in team batting average and team batting with runners in scoring position. Bring back Edgar as hitting coach.

 

[raisethe3]

Well, that's a bummer.

 

[Chapow]

Welp, I'm ready for an automated strike zone.

 

[Sports Hernia]

Time to stop putting in a Brash in leverage situations. And yes he got squeezed bad.

 

[DJrmb]

Welp, I'm ready for an automated strike zone.

Can't happen soon enough. Umps strike zone BS is the worst thing about baseball.

 

[Bobblehead]

Welp, that sucked

 

[Chapow]

Good God, what a baffling base running blunder by Teo.

 

[Bobblehead]

Welp, that sucked

 

[Threedee]

Time to stop putting in a Brash in leverage situations. And yes he got squeezed bad.

It's a combination of totally incompetent umpiring and the fact that our bullpen has really fallen off this season.
