Seattle Mariners @ Chicago White Sox (Aug 21-23)

Yeah, proud that I was way off on Servais. He's managing his a** off since July 1st.
That was a fun game last night. Good old batting practice for the M's, and FINALLY one that wasn't a nail biter. A couple touchdowns will work. Plus, a needed night off for Julio.
Not sure why everyone is freaking out that Julio had a day off. Nothing wrong with him taking a day off once in a great while. They scored 14 runs w/out him. Still a ton of baseball left.

Glad u admitted it. You are better then 80% of society by just doing that. As much as I love Servais, athletes have to perform and they are. So kudo to the players too.

Servais 2nd most wins above expected since 2018 is amazing tho. They are on pace again to beat expected wins.

Ahh there is the Mariners we once knew, bases loaded no outs, and can’t even score.

Not this yr. Very rare.

 

[Bobblehead]

Marlow coming back down to earth. Could see him and JK split LF. Canzone could stay RF and Teo could stay DH.

Thanks Coach!

 

[Maulbert]

Really annoyed that Dave Sims keeps saying the M's have already won throughout the 9th. Dude needs to stop.

munoz is nasty

Lol he has pretty lame call for home runs too. "Hey now hey now hey now!"
"Wow!"
"Giddy up!"

 

[Hawk-Lock]

These last two games have been weird, easy wins.

Not a "save" situation there, but I'm OK with bringing Munoz in for one out. Speier was laboring there.

Pretty good game, overall. Never really in doubt against a team that yeah, we should have beat.

 

[Echawks]

yes it was a save situation…

 

[sutz]

yes it was a save situation…

I don't think so. Only needed one out to protect 3 runs. I believe the outs needed have to equal or exceed the number of runs being protected to be a save. Either way, I support the move. We needed that last out.

 

[Echawks]

box score shows him with a save

Also, it seemed like AZ had kinda given up on Rojas. He had like 15-ish total AB's since June before he was traded to the M's.

This is what you hate to see if you're an Arizona fan, selling low and buying high. I think Rojas is good value, even if not a superstar. Canzone also has good potential, highly regarded prospect who killed it in AAA this year.

Rangers losing to the Diamondbacks in the top of the 7th, 6-1.

Chance for another sweep. We don't need a 14 game winning streak, we have two 8 game streaks in one month...and counting.

Yeah, I had to look up the details of the save definition. My bad.

 

[Shanegotyou11]

Ms are 16-3 in last 19 games. Ms join the 2001 Ms as only other Mariners team to have multiple 8 plus game winning streaks in a single month.

 

[NoGain]

They're hot at the right time. Let's hope they can keep it up, if not as hot as they are now. We always knew they had the pitching. We knew we were short a few good bats. But that doesn't mean your star can't catch fire, and that a few other hitters can't join in the fun at the right time and make something good happen.

 

[Echawks]

Yeah, I had to look up the details of the save definition. My bad.

oh dont you throw that sam elliott at me and come away completely forgiven

 

[Sports Hernia]

munoz is nasty

When he remembers his fastball is fire and throws it.
Falls in love too much with his breaking stuff at times instead of throwing that almost impossible to hit the 100mph fastball.

 

[bileever]

Top of the 9th, Arizona beating the Rangers, 6-3. Sewald pitching in the 9th.

OMG, I forgot how every 9th inning is an adventure with Sewald. Runners on 1st and 2nd, tying run at the plate now. Only one out.
