Mariners (73-67) @ Braves (63-77) Sep 5-7, '25

[Hawk-Lock]

They aren't going to win the division

Well duh.

 

[Goldfinger 007]

Well duh.

Sadly it's only going to take about 86-88 wins

 

[Steve Hawk]

I love Naylors intensity, I wish the entire line up had it. A liitle O today was a nice change.

A little concerning when it looked like they were gonna sit on a 2 run 1st inning again. Nice offensive explosion in 7-8-9 to ice the game.

5 HRs, Julio with 2, 1 into the waterfall in center field. Cal chalks up #52, tying Mantle's 2d best season.

Nice to see Robles contributing. The OF we thought we had back in April is finally on the field together.

Ford with another AB. At least he made contact tonight grounding out to 3d.

At the end it's a nice win, giving them the chance to win the series tomorrow.

Game is on Roku tomorrow, remember. 9 am.

Why do I get the feeling they should've saved some runs for tomorrow?

 

[Bobblehead]

Too bad Julio, can't play like he's playing all season. TRIDENT UP!

 

[MontanaHawk05]

Good grief Cal, get rid of that caterpillar.

 

[sutz]

Good grief Cal, get rid of that caterpillar.

If it helps him hit, he should grow it big and bushy!

(It's not crazy if it works )

Looks like they still had some left in the tank for today. 10 runs through 4 so far.

Let's hope that's enough for road Castillo and our gawdawful bullpen.

Looks like these guys pulled their heads out of their asses the last couple days & have saved their season for now. I've been refusing to watch these road games since the first loss in Tampa.

8th inning & Cal is still in the game. I guess a 10 run lead isn't safe enough to sit him the rest of the way. These guys SMH. I don't want to hear anymore excuses about players being tired, unless management is getting trashed for stuff like this.

Always gotta find a reason to complain, right? Angie explained it. With Garve and Cal both in, Ford as the 3rd and last catcher is a risk early in the game.

There he is in late.

 

[sutz]

Not to mention, Hancock is the only pitcher on the roster that Ford has extensive experience with.

 

[MontanaHawk05]

And #53 for the icing on the cake!

 

[Steve Hawk]

Thats why they haven't pulled Cal, its a historic run!

 

[Steve Hawk]

I hope they are heating up for these last few series!

 

[Chapow]

Finally stopped the bleeding (gushing really) on the road. First road series win since the all star break.

As I said earlier, I haven't been watching this garbage, including today. And yeah, I will complain when guys are still in the game during BLOWOUTS & people are covering for them saying the players are "tired". An so they finally won a couple of road games, after getting clobbered on the regular & free falling. They still need to finish out at about 14-5 to have a shot to win the division.

 

[Ruminator]

Was wondering when they'd finally stop the bleeding. That was a gusher that needed stitches, superglue, and cauterizing with a blow torch.

Sounds like DiBozo the has done a terrible job with roster construction now doesn't it? Hmmmm maybe that's why this team can't win a division that Houston has been desperately trying to give them.
