Pirates (38-50) @ Mariners (45-42) Jul 4-6, '25...(edit Sun pitcher)

[SoulfishHawk]

Nicely done, M's. Nothing wrong with a good old fashioned pitchers duel. The Rock is locked in. Brash and Munoz in the 8th and 9th....good luck. Keep it rolling. Series win in the books.

OK, one of those games.

Castillo strong for 7 shutout innings. Brash and Muny for the 1-0 save.

Canzone Williamson hits the game winning RBI.

Series win, everybody talking up Skenes tomorrow. Kirby up for us. Could be another low scoring game.

Canzone hits the game winning RBI.

Hey now. Williamson has like 15 RBI's on the season. Don't take his game winning RBI away from him. Haha.

Tomorrow should be a good media fun grab bag... Wonder if that matchup change was an order from the MLB Brass rofl

Skenes doesnt give up HRs... Im Curious to see how they pitch Cal tomorrow after tonight. Does Skenes try to send a message and be like.. F nah Im throwing to this guy?

Kirby, Cal vs Skenes... should be fun regardless of the outcome honestly. Our upcoming road trip.. is going to be a TEST... Good thing one of them is floundering right now

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Anyone else notice that Castillo was throwing 97 last night? Including his final pitch for a K. He's definitely locked in.

Team is about where I expected them to be.

Glad they sent Hancock down as Evans looks much better. Unfortunately Hancock looks like one of the few pitching prospects that won't work out. At best he looks like a back end starter. Probably too late to move him.

Cal and Randy have carried this team the last week or so. Julio has been so disappointing. He looks uncomfortable at the plate. No idea how he is like top 15 in WAR and right behind Ohtani. Hopefully he gets it going in the second half, but I'd much rather he go back to his old approach of high strikeouts with power. Because right now he is basically a singles hitter now.

M's need another bat, I would trade either Young or Williamson. I just don't think they compliment each other, too similar. Outuside of Cal, we aren't getting enough power from the infield. Between JP, Young and Williamson, a full season you might get 20 HR's combined from them, not enough. Bregman anyone? M's could also use another big arm in the pen. When playoffs come, I think they only trust Brash and Munoz. Maybe Spier against lefties. Maybe Bazardo, I keep waiting for him to revert but he's been great.

I still think this team goes as far as Julio can take them. If he can get back to rookie season Julio, him and Cal will be a problem for the league. But right now our lineup is basically Cal, Arozarena at times, and a bunch of singles hitters. If M's don't buy in the next month they aren't a serious team.

 

[MontanaHawk05]

So pissed with Julio right now.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Meh. Enjoy the season. People make this stuff way too personal. Does he drive me crazy? Absolutely. Welcome to sports.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Definitely a tough match up today. But, I'm not assuming a loss at all. The M's already beat Skubal, Crochet and Fried.

The good news is we only scored 1 run yesterday so hopefully we saved them up for today. 3-2 win would be fine with me.

 

[Sperrydogg]

They need to move Julio down in the order and get some pressure off him.

Problem with moving him down is even as bad as he’s been he’s still one of our best hitters….. that’s bad…

 

[SoulfishHawk]

JP should have easily scored. Why in the world would you not slide??? So stupid

Cal did the same a week or so back. Not good coaching in my book. It should be automatic.

 

[Chapow]

So sick of JP and Cal. Those idiots need to learn to slide. Bench em til they figure it. Morons.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

JP....again

You don't think he's safe if he slides??? I certainly do. If that was Julio, there would be 27 threads on how he sucks. Nobody is above criticism. Slide....you learn that sh^$ in little league.

He 100% was safe if he slid. But also, what was Arozarena doing as the on-deck guy? He has to signal him down.

JP has also now had a errant throw that almost took off Raley's arm and then drops a routine GB to SS. Pee test in his immediate future? By the team?

No idea, man. Didn't see it.
