I mean, he's not really wrong, but that's just one of those things you don't say out loud. Hopefully he poisons the clubhouse, but if racist Josh Donaldson didn't tear them apart, nothing will.

I wouldn't imagine someone on the Astros saying it because it changes.

Tuve was in 17 until he WS when Springer took over. But JV had a case too from the 2nd half on.

Bregman (19), Alvarez (22, maybe 19 too), and Tucker (20 & 21) had taken on that role too.

Add in Carlos who was in the mix for 6 years.

And our Ace in 2020 Framer and Ace in 2021 McCullers.

That is the beauty of what has been built here.

Angels DFA him, we pick him up for a few days, then DFA him, then the Angels pick him up...racking up the frequent flier miles.

Me, looking around for an ounce of understanding on what goes through Dusty Baker's mind with Judge up to bat and a base open…

Still not over that. Gramps ruined a perfect afternoon at Yankee Stadium.

Anybody been? Give me some pre-game recommendations.

Met some great folks that will be there also. Should be a good Astros contingent.

So the Mariners have a reputation for instigating fights now, right? Even though the big bad Astros took the heat when they started ish with us?

Judge is having a great season, but it's a contract year --- and it's amazing how many times that happens

which means it's a good time to check in on Correa...

the Twins have played 74 games...and Carlos has played in 51 of them. 23 games missed so far.

last year with the Astros...Carlos put up 34 doubles, 26 HR's, 92 RBI, and 104 runs scored.

in 2022 with Minnesota...12 doubles, 7 HR's, 24 RBI, and 29 runs scored.

he needs a monster second half to get within striking distance of his 2021 stats

I think it's mainly due to Servais. Every single time one of his guys gets hit, he always wants them ejected.

This is the same organization that I heard Sparky mention during the Mariners series that submitted to the MLB a report that umpires were unfairly calling balls a strike for Julio Rodriguez in his first month as an MLB rookie. A rookie!

Seems the organization can be babies at times.

Yes. The bar attached to the stadium on the outside is a nice place to pregame. I forget the name. I'm not sure if there is anything else nearby. I didn't really explore. The bar was like a much classier The Bus.

The subway station is right by the stadium, so it is convenient.

I just saw the highlights of the fight. Of course, the second clip after the HBP is Servais' *****-ass standing on the top step saying the pitcher should be tossed. Was there prior activity in the game or the series that would justify that?

Also, the pitch was right in the butt. Even if there was questionable intent, that's about as low-grade instigating of a spot to hit as there is. If it was truly malicious, it'd be in the ribs/back (or head, but that should be off-limits for most MLB players...a few deserve a good ear-holing).

That fight was entirely on the Angels. They were pissed that a pitch got within a zip code of Trout the day before, so much so that they changed out the starting pitcher to start the game with an opener.

I went and watched the Jomboy breakdown...he shows that this is been possibly building for a few games.

Not a fan of Jomboy, but that was a pretty good video.

Regardless of this incident, Servais seems like a huge d-bag. If the ball ever comes up and in at one of his guys, he's on the top step screaming for ejections. If his pitcher goes up and in, he's at the top step screaming at the other team to shut up about it coming up and in....

Servais has been one of the biggest and whiniest cry babies since he became a manager. And what has he done with The Mariners to keep his job as manager? They've always had talent on paper.

They BS will be they can stagger their suspensions. They should have to serve them simultaneously.

And I assume Rendon serves his next year when he returns from the IL

ETA 2. How the living hell does Servais not get suspended? He needed the same 10 games Nevin got. I get Nevin gets some for the auto ejection from after the warning but Servais is just as much an instigator in this.

The angels started an opener for the sole reason of throwing at guys, so I'm thinking that's why they gave him such a long suspension. They want to send a message to managers that they can't do something like that. He can't appeal that either.

Ok I watched the breakdown and here's my 0.02...Servais is an insufferable bltch. What a fckn tool.

It's not just what he does but how he does it with those smug condescending punchable facial expressions. 'Standing around looking like the dad from Step by Step'

Nevin seemed like the more reasonable standing up for his guys manager.

No big deal, Nevin never showed up for any games when he was with the Astros either.

I get the dislike of Jomboy, but I can't help but like him. The Altuve stuff was garage, but his breakdowns and lip readings are great in my opinion.

I also think he really loves baseball and is a genuine fan of the game. Just so happens he was riding the scandal train the same as everyone else.

I'd had a conversation with him about baseball anytime.
