Padres (74-57) @ Mariners (70-61) Aug 25-27, '25...

That Adam left 2 straight hanging sliders right out over the plate & Geno clobbered them both. This Ferguson is really a glorified mop-up man. Should've picked up a better reliever.

They have Emo working in Tacoma as a bullpen option now,
he was throwing 99-100 mph and sinker was in high 90s..
I don't know why they are waiting.
Also Santos is pitching on rehab .. Both need to get to Seattle.

Man, I just don't see the point in taking Castillo out. Dude settled down and was under 90 pitches. This was a total Servais move by Dan. There's 30 fu**ing games left, in a pennant race and we are scared to let our $22 million dollar starter go 90+ pitches.
I hate modern baseball so much it's unreal.

I hate the so-called modern thinking too, in this case Castillo had too many
pitches early so I'm ok with it, however Ferguson came in earlier than he
usually does and I don't like that choice.

With the exception of Fergie, the bullpen did their job. Now let's get some runs and win this thing.

 

[Bobblehead]

Setup for a great bottom of the 9th....

 

[MontanaHawk05]

This would be a fantastic time for #51.

 

[NoGain]

Too bad we lose after that great comeback inning.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Now that’s an overpowering bullpen, I wish ours looked like that.

 

[sutz]

Well, the Padres are a 75 win team. Tough loss, but their bullpen is better than ours, it seems.

Need more than one good inning to win games. What we did right - get guys on then cash in with a long ball - worked well when we did it, but couldn't do anything else.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

We'll get em tomorrow. Great battle against a real good team.

I was thinking the exact same thing, especially when watching Fergie give runs right back

 

[Ruminator]

Game was lost in the atrocious first inning, regardless of the lead Ms briefly held later in the game.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Crazy game. Down 5-0, up 6-5, then down 7-6. Padres are a tough team. Not trippin. I expected 2 of 3 and I expect that happens today.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

73 degrees at first pitch today. Perfection. Can't wait to see Woo do his thing today.

 

[Shane Falco]

Do that Woodoo that you do.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Nice and early. LFG!

Here's one move I wanted..

Seattle Mariners call up Emerson Hancock as new bullpen arm

After just two appearances in relief in Triple-A, the Seattle Mariners are ready to see Emerson Hancock work out of the bullpen in the big leagues.

[IndyHawk]

Santos and possibly Taylor coming soon?

Why? I’m taking Logan all day over Emerson

 

[sutz]

Good win over a good team. Took the series and the home stand 4-2.

Day off tomorrow, they need it before another tough road trip.

Geno, yeah, he's been heating up a bit. Another 3 run bomb.

Was kind of hoping to see Hancock in his new role as a reliever, but the game sitch didn't allow it.

This is like playoff baseball, folks. Every win counts. Any loss hurts. Stros have 2 more games left than we do.
