Rays (57-59) @ Mariners (63-53) Aug 8-10, '25...

Hanging in there but I’ll take some runs please

 

[NoGain]

Yes, runs. Hoping for a lights-out bullpen doesn't bode well for my nerve index

 

[NoGain]

Your man comes through for us again.

 

[Steve Hawk]

Boom!

 

[stack55]

Vargas….don’t get wild.

 

[stack55]

Polanco looks like bug man with those sun glasses, lol.

 

[NoGain]

Solid win. What a homestand. 9-1. 7 wins in a row. Two series sweeps. All the way up to a tie with the Astros in the win column, a half game behind. Put the Rangers in the rear view mirror. Solidified our wild card position and now have our eyes dead focused on the division title. We have entered the stretch run with a whole lot of new mojo.

Great job M's! Keep on cooking.

 

[IndyHawk]

It's weird, but I've lowered my hopes/expectations for Julio this season to the point where it's a lot easier for him to pleasantly surprise me now.

I just already know his pattern - Non hitting for April, May and
a chunk of June.
Then Coolio gets hot and ends up with decent numbers.

Really hoping on this. Can you imagine if he really started heating up?

Solid team win. Second series sweep in a row. 9-1 homestand and 7 game win streak Nice roll to be on as they head out on the road.

Love adding runs on in 7/8 innings. Takes some of the pressure off the closer. Nails with the dinger and Canzone with the RBI single.

Second save in the series for Brash. His slider is nasty and he can chuck cheese, too.

Leading in the WC standings now, but need to go all out for the Division crown. No rest for the weary.

Heads up to Ferguson for 1.2 tough innings to hold the score where it was.

 

[SmokinHawk]

Something tells me these cats keep their foot on the gas the rest of the way from here on out.

 

[NoGain]

It's nice to start off the road trip against the Orioles, too. That doesn't guarantee anything, but I'd rather them than some others. Also one of the more homer friendly parks. Maybe we can send out a batch of dingers there this week.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

On

I'll leave it at that. Glad i have retired from this topic. (for the most part)

 

[Steve Hawk]

Julio is going off; he looks so comfortable at the plate now. Putting good wood on the ball almost every at bat. I wonder if it has to do with not having the entire team on his shoulders now. Love to see the young guy do his thing.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Cough cough

Go M's

 

[m0ng0]

Is that another sweep?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yup

 

[Shane Falco]

I was hoping the Astros lost today. Figured they might going against the Yankees ace.

I want to see the M's take the division from those bastards so bad this season.
