Two hits today. Two.

Could be worse.

I hear not giving up free base runners usually helps you win ballgames.

Out bullpen BB/9 the last few years.

2017 - 3.51
2018 - 2.47 - lowest of any team the last 4 years
2019 - 3.19
2020 - 5.69 - highest of any team the last 4 years
On pace to shatter the franchise record of 5.1-something set in the 70s.

what a mess.

the Mariners (19-24) have a chance over the next 3 days to take over 2nd place from the Astros (22-23).

however Seattle will have to sweep at Arizona

I guess a few positives...the Astros are finished with the A's.

the 'stros are 7-13 vs. the A's and Angels.

15-10 vs. everybody else.

and the rest of the schedule is now everybody else

Somehow splitting with the Dodgers would feel pretty great

the team that should really be kicking themselves is the Angels (17-27).

LAAA is 10-10 vs. the A's and Astros.

with that record should have been a lock for the playoffs in which 8 of 15 teams make it.

but the Angels can't beat the Rangers or the NL West

yep, all they do is play home games.

Oakland has only played 17 road games. They've had 5 road games postponed.

25 of their 42 games at home

Astros better learn to win in Oakland, because they'll need to when they make the playoffs.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

the problem with Reddick's comment...if the A's slump down the stretch like that...

it means the Mariners have beaten them 4 or 5 times (in their 6 remaining contests vs. the A's)

At this point we ain't winning the division and we ain't winning any playoff series.

The problem when you have a bad BP is they pitch every game. You can't hide them in a lineup. You can't alter your rotation. And when they're all bad you can't avoid throwing anyone. Ryan Pressly can't even do his job.

We'll make the playoffs and lose the 3 game series.

And honestly I'm not sure there's manager alive that could change that.

I agree. I think the window for a turnaround in 2020 has closed.

On the broadcast today it said that the 1st round with the 3 game series will be at the stadium of the higher seeded team.

Watching this Texans-Chiefs pregame and it makes no sense that we cannot have fans at MMP or in MLB in general

Yep. My guess is MLB didn't want to make a change to policy mid season. Still stupid though

An AJ managed team would be worth 3-5 more wins this season. At least. Playoffs will just depend on who we are matched up with.

I don't know. I'm an avid Hinch fanboy but even he can't go make these guys throw strikes.

It's a BP wide issue. Every single one of them is offering free passes at a historical rate. That doesn't change with the manager.

And it won't matter who were matched up against. They were blowing multiple run leads multiple times against the GD Angels.

the only way to counteract the weak bullpen is to score runs, but that's been a big problem on the road too (except in Colorado and Anaheim)

I mean...They scored a lot of runs in Anaheim and got swept.

They're THAT bad.

so checking in with George with 15 games left...

slash lines: .234 / .344 / .460 --- OPS at .803

14 x-base hits in 39 games.

still time to go on a tear and maybe get the OPS into the .850/.860 range

(his OPS last year was .974)

To be honest, the over/under on losses would have been 2.5. Nothing shocking really happened.

10.5 hours between posts on this thread. That has to be a record.

How stupid is MLB that it's Friday night and we aren't playing?

Kinda glad I don't have to watch.

I need a break from this crap.
