Seattle Mariners @ NY Yankees Aug 1-4

[balakoth]

Meh, Servais is working with a tired, overworked bullpen. It's been a long road trip.

I stll dont get this take.. half of these guys throw 15 to 20 pitches.. tired? What a job I guess lol I shoulda worked harder at baseball and been a bigger dude

 

[Echawks]

Can’t believe this run support without France and Julio

 

[Sports Hernia]

Loving these fast 1-2-3 innings by Castillo. Always seems to have the opposing hitters in an 0-2 hole every AB. More please.

 

[Sports Hernia]

Bucknor squeezing Castillo something fierce this inning.
There was 5 strikes to the last batter who walked.

 

[balakoth]

This home plate ump is total trash today

 

[Echawks]

Haggerty has been looking really really good lately

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Castillo looks as advertised. Has had some luck with hard hit balls in play, and a few nice plays by JP. This was probably our best midseason acquisition in quite a long time.

 

[Sports Hernia]

Wink BOMB! 7-1.

 

[Ruminator]

Love how Castillo makes the Yanks' batters look very ordinary and nonthreatening.

 

[Ruminator]

Pretty awful home plate umpire, however.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Just realized he is likely going to go up against the Yanks three times in a row. Yanks shaking in their boots.

 

[Echawks]

I am now not too upset we lost marte

Hated losing Marte+, but Castillo is the real deal
He pitched better than his line today.

 

[Crizilla]

A rare series win the the Bronx let's go

 

[Echawks]

I just have no idea how we can play like this against the yanks but absolutely crap the bed against the astros

That Umpire has been crap all week! The Tracer would show obvious "Ball" but he'd call it a strike against the Mariners. Then the Tracer would show an obvious "Strike" against a Yankee, but the Umpire would call it a "Ball." What horseshit.

Didn't matter though! We still kicked their asses!

With the technology and statistical analysis we have, this kind of activity (obvious bias) should have result in fines and eventual dismissal for professional sport officials. Say if the stats show 60% or higher bias then start fining.

 

[Echawks]

Agreed Castillo was screwed out of at least two strikeouts

Bucknor is in the top 3 worst umpires. He’s always horrible.

Should have been 7IP 1ER. Castillo was flat out dominating. Lots of quick 1-2-3 innings.
