Brash warming up, not sure how I feel about putting him in a close game. Once he comes in, you better warm someone else up.

I hope MLB and Manfred realize, like it or not, that Julio is going to be the face of MLB and there isn’t a damn thing they can do about it.

Embrace him, cherish him, he’s a kid that loves to play baseball and it shows, you couldn’t find a better ambassador of the game.

There have only been 3 mariners where I felt they would get the hit, that clutch hit. Edgar, Griffey and Ichiro..

Welcome to the group Julio

When is a strikeout a good thing? When there is less than 2 out and Julio is on deck. The worst thing Haggerty could have done was hit a ground ball there in the 8th. 😄

I must have missed something in regards to Manfred. Curious what that might have been about.

It's early, but he's getting there. I'd argue that Ty France might be approaching that group, too. He may not have the same power, but he's been money all season in situations like that.

I mean I liked Alvin Davis, Harold, Buhner and Seager but very few mariners have ever been just clutch.

You are right thought, when France is up I am starting to expect a hit.

The suspension thing. They never said what Julio did in the fight to get suspended. The shitty ump said “it’s in the report”. MLB never said what he did, they just reduced it one game without giving any details.

Yep Ty is in the professional hitter camp. Rarely gives away an AB.

Reminder. 1 pm PDT first pitch today.

Looks like Gilbert vs Howard. Need to keep the streak alive.

Santana bomb! What a great mid season pick up. M’s 2-1 lead.
