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

Why? I’m taking Logan all day over Emerson

Logan is a starter, Hancock is coming up as a reliever.

Win is a win. Padres are tough. 4-2 home stand. Noice. Munoz making it VERY interesting...again

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Still think Wilson sucks with the starters.

Forgot to mention, Woo's streak ends. 5.2 today instead of a full 6.

It was the right move by Wilson, though. Can't argue it.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I was at the game, and I absolutely think he should have left him in. After 2 "hits" that were total fluke, let him finish what he started.
Wilson is allergic to that type of thinking. Sure, I can see both sides of it. But he wasn't getting rocked or anything. Two fluke, lucky AF hits. Let him at least have another batter. All in how you look at it, I just believe you let a guy finish what he started. Again, he wasn't getting rocked, he was pitching well. And looked what happened, again.

 

[Crizilla]

I think not leaving Castillo in was worse choice.
Could have easily gone 6-0 on that home stand.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Meh, 4-2 is a solid home stand, and exactly what I expected.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Impressive home stand. 9 games against bad teams on this upcoming road series (@CLE, @Tampa, @ATL), I'm thinking we need to go 5-4 at worst.

Notable series starting today or tomorrow....
DET @ KC
LAA @ HOU
PIT @ BOS
NYY @ CHW

After these series wrap up Houston hosts the Yankees.

Excited to see Hancock in the pen, heard his fb is up to 97mph. Added velocity with that sinker could be huge for us. We really need someone to emerge as a high leverage arm, especially with Munoz struggling a bit.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I'm not sure I see Cleveland and Tampa Bay as bad teams. Maybe they're struggling lately, but certainly not bad. And very much in the mix for the last Wild Card spot. They'll be plenty ready and motivated. I'll take 6-3 on this road trip and won't apologize for it.
