White Sox (42-70) @ Mariners (60-53) Aug 5-7, '25...

[Goldfinger 007]

Now to sweep these idiots tomorrow. No letting up. None of this "We won the series anyway" nonsense. Maybe they can finally get wins for the starter 3 games in a row for a change.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

No doubt. It's a trip how Munoz can look lights out, then crazy sloppy.

He does seem to do this a lot. Sloppy start and wiggle out of it. What looked like an easy win definitely had some pucker factor. Mariners baseball

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Ugly win is still...a win. But damn boys, I was about to get the AED out.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

We made that tougher than it needed to be, but we take the win. That was a flashback to Bazardo from previous years.

Entire lineup is absolutely smashing.

I didn’t know Naylor was this quick, he is constantly swiping bases.

 

[Crizilla]

Astros still have to play Texas (and Ms) and Detroit and Toronto.

I didn’t know Naylor was this quick, he is constantly swiping bases.

If you get a chance, watch his postgame presser. He reveals a LOT of how 'heady' a player he is.

He's not Louie Aparicio, Lou Brock or Maury Wills... but he DOES know how to steal a base... and WHY it's so important that he does. Find that presser and watch it.

I would REALLY love to see us sign him to a long-term contract... Naylor knows baseball... and if he stays, he's going to have a huge impact on our younger players like Cole Young, Dom Canzone and others!

 

[Atradees]

Considering you said he wouldn't help this team, that's some solid crow

I had to eat crow in that? Caw caw

 

[SoulfishHawk]

God I hope they can sign him to an extension

God I hope they can sign him to an extension

Yankees 300 million. That would suck.
If we could sign eugenio and Nalz for 3 years a piece and 15 million a year. That's 90 million over 3 years. 2 players. There are contracts we could clear out to make room. That's me being optimistic. If both leave there are 3 prospects we have. Montero, Arroyo and Emerson. Is that the plan? Everyone is quick to point out the great work at the deadline. It only cost 10 million or so. After that? Not very Mariner like.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Nothing wrong with being optimistic, would be huge to get them both signed. Def. some really good players coming up next year too.
Side note, sorry I was being a turd yesterday. Def. get worked up sometimes. Over a damn game

 

[bileever]

2 games back of the Astros, 2 and a half ahead of the Rangers.

Currently in the second wildcard spot, one game ahead of the Yankees, one and a half behind the Red Sox.

47 games to go. The team that gets hot will win the AL West.

 

[Steve Hawk]

I am going out on a limb right now and saying the Seattle Mariners win the West this year! Straight up!

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Before adding Naylor and Suarez, I would have said hell no. Now? I actually think they DO win the west.

 

[Ruminator]

Mariners hired a subcontractor to help the organization ensure against undesirable final results via late-inning implosions: Runs by Naylor & Suarez.

 

[Sperrydogg]

He gets out of jams.

Again, you're complaining about a guy who just threw another quality start.
6 innings, 2 runs and 9 strikeouts.

Loading the bases doesn't equal shitty start if you get out of it.

Complaining about something that "could have happened"
You could say that about several baseball games. Pitchers get in jams. All the time. Good pitchers get out of jams. Exactly what he did.

I know a Seahawks game that I complained about what coulda shoulda happened

 

[Sperrydogg]

Chris Flexen.

Maybe, I saw you post this elsewhere and thought “meh” but…. He could help this bullpen. There’s three guys out there in that pen who are hanging by a thread

 

[Sperrydogg]

No doubt. It's a trip how Munoz can look lights out, then crazy sloppy.

I swear with Munoz it’s mental, and it his balance, when he looks like he’s falling off the side after a pitch he trying to hard

 

[Sperrydogg]

We made that tougher than it needed to be, but we take the win. That was a flashback to Bazardo from previous years.

Entire lineup is absolutely smashing.

I didn’t know Naylor was this quick, he is constantly swiping bases.

He’s smarter than he is quick, when he steals he is over half way there before the catcher has the pitch

He is so smart. Only person I’ve seen mentally affect the game besides Jose Caballero that dude is like that too, without the power

 

[SoulfishHawk]

10 for 10 stealing bases for Naylor. Dayum. Don't have to be fast, you have to be smart and focused.
