It's amazing that no one in the dugout is able to recognize when a reliever just doesn't have it today. Wilson has done this a bunch this season where he leaves a badly struggling reliever in there to give up a bunch of runs even though he had ample opportunities to get the guy out of there before things got way out of hand.

After you are already far behind... whats the point? Logan gave up 5... Leg only has had one bad game in the last 7 appearances ..

Not sure what else you would do?

Down 7... you might as well save some of the bullpen for the rest of the series

I would pull a guy that's struggling badly. But hey, that's just me.

Tough one. Was doing OK until the rain delay.

Judge closes the HR gap, then Cal takes one back. :) Sets Mariners record for homers before the break.

Nice to see them still playing late and getting 3 runs. Had enough shutouts this year already.

Interesting pitching matchup tomorrow. Couple of young'uns.

Fair points. But come on. Wilson is HORRIBLE with the pitching staff.

Game was lost after the Stanton homer. Ms don't have the slugging to compete. Williamson and Young don't hit home runs. It's why Julio needs to hit more doubles and homers or else forget about playoffs.

I left right before the rain delay to watch my two grandson's at a baseball camp. Looks like I made the right decision. Lordy that turned ugly.

Moore was like 0 for 31 before that home run at home. Clueless Wilson will parlay that into "he's back" :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I think it's partly the nature of baseball, where batters fail more than they succeed. And the pitching these days is insane, pitcher after pitcher throwing 98 mph.

But I bet you're right, that most fans probably think they have the worst hitters. I saw that Yankee fans were booing Aaron Judge after striking out. Are you kidding me? That guy hits 60 HRs for you every year.
Most MLB hitters can hit a 98 mph fastball if it’s that fast usually there is no movement and the player just has to meet the ball. It’s the pitchers that can change speeds and locate the pitches high/ inside or low/away when pitchers get in trouble is when they are predictable. IMO the best pitcher in the modern era was Gregg Maddox the master of the 85 pitch shutout and didn’t have a fastball that went over 90 mph

I watch the Yankees every night on MLB.TV they have been really stinking up the joint lately the NY fans are getting frustrated with a team that should be playing better.

Early Maddux had heat but he learned to really pitch and threw a 76 pitch complete
game against - The Cubs

I got spoiled and it's why I hate high pitch counts in only 4-5 innings, to me it's not
very good pitching at all.

I was actually going to say Evans kinda reminds me of Greg Maddox plus the Wild Thing eyewear
