Seattle Mariners @ Los Angeles Angels at Anaheim (Aug 3-6)

[Echawks]

anyone else thinking at best they maybe split the series?

Sweep!

A lot of momentum. We need Toronto to start losing.

Nice sweep. 2.5 GB for the last spot.

 

[Crizilla]

Saucedo with 2 brilliant late innings pitched.

So far the Sewald trade hasn't really done anything. They haven't missed Sewald yet, and Rojas and Candzone aren't doing anything. Getting rid of Wong and Pollack, and the Kelenic injury seemed to get the team rolling.

Sure feels like they went from hovering around .500 all season, to 8 games over .500 in the blink of an eye.

A 4 game sweep of a team they were neck and neck with in the standings 4 days ago is pretty huge at this point in the season.

It's baseball. It seems like it's going slow and then BAM! Something happens and it all changes quite quickly.

SEwald lost the game today.

Amazing series. Ms always heat up past few yrs like this.

Wow he gave up 2 bombs to lose it. I still worry about Rojas and Candzone against righties. But Wong and Pollack had to go no question

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Nah, this team is locked in. They have the magic back from last year. I'll take it. I honestly thought there would just hover at .500 the rest of the way.

mmmm, crow, nom nom nom

Toronto still has 18 games left against the Rays, Orioles, Yankees and Red Sox. We finish the season with our final 10 games being against the Rangers and Astros. That will most likely determine how the season goes.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

At the MINIMUM, they are helping bridge the gap until football. Not saying that I now think they make it, but they are fully in the mix now.

I think there's a better chance at catching Houston. Still 6 games left against them. TOR has a stretch of straight 13 games all against the worst teams in the league.
