Mariners (84-69) @ Astros (84-69) Sep 19-21, '25...

[sutz]

Here it is. While it is mathematically possible to win the division if we don't win this series, it is effectively a playoff series for the whole shebang. I'm sure we'll have two pages of posts before first pitch, but what the hell.

Probables:

B. Woo 14-7 RHP

H. Brown 12-7 RHP

G. Kirby 9-7 RHP

F. Valdez 12-10 LHP

L. Gilbert 5-6 RHP

J. Alexander 4-1 RHP

Go Mariners!

Well...

0-3 (Dear God, No!)
1-2 (A bit disappointing, but I think I can live with it)
2-1 (Pleased)
3-0 (Dancing on the roof)

Hope the Astros enjoyed their day off today scheming up devious crooked dirty unethical ways to win their next three games.

The Stros are beat up and winning despite it. That can't go on forever.

 

[Maulbert]

Yordan Alvarez is out again, fortunately.

 

[Crizilla]

Keep Pena and Altuve at bay and should be a series win

 

[Bobblehead]

Yordan Alvarez is out again, fortunately.

DAMN

This is for all the division marbles. It's a fitting end to this great Cinderella season. Love that Woo, Kirby and Gilbert will be pitching. Cal, Eugenio, Julio, Naylor, Randy, Canzone, Robles and Pelanco.....it's time for greatness.

For once it's gonna go our way. Sweep them and the division is ours.

This team and fans have to force ownership to resign Naylor and Eugenio.

 

[Ruminator]

There are six more games after this series, so those games for both teams could be deciding factor rather than this particular series. But yes, whoever wins this series would likely benefit greatly.

 

[Atradees]

Julio! Homer's. Lookin at these pitches...we can hit this fastball pitcher.

 

[NoGain]

For the most part, the M's are simply hitting more consistently lately. I'm actually feeling confident about them at the plate now (knock hard on wood). They're stringing hits together.

 

[Ruminator]

I get almost as much satisfaction watching Altuve strike out in baseball as I do watching an opposing QB get big-time sacked in football.

 

[Ruminator]

Looks like Detroit is about to lose another game today. How 'bout that!

 

[Atradees]

I didn't know Houston sells oxies

 

[Crizilla]

This team swings at way too many balls it will be the death of them in the post season

 

[sutz]

I think we have a slight edge. M's hitters are being more patient at the dish. Stros are more agressive and we're seeing some swing and miss because of it.

 

[NoGain]

This is not a time for pessimism.

 

[Atradees]

Eugenio. <3

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Eugenio. <3

Loved his gesture to the camera in the dugout.

Our approach today has been impressive. We are making Hunter Brown work, he will be lucky to get past the 5th inning.
