So Dunning and assuming Perez after
You'd think...


2 innings from Dunning and Montgomery and Perez. Then play with fire in the bullpen. Hell I'm fine throwing Chapman early in the game (4th inning).

I just don't want to see any lefty matchup so we put in Chapman in the 9th.

I expect to see some rough baseball today. Maybe a few hangovers, some lack of focus, and the Mariners having their hearts ripped out last night.

I saw the celebration last night. Was worried they would party too hard. Then I saw all the beer being sprayed was Budweiser, which is about all that swill is good for.

I think they will want to go out a play spoiler. They want to ruin our chances of the division because we prevented them a playoff spot.

I think it will be a very emotional game/possible fight breakout…. Especially if the rangers get out early.

Only problem is the opposing SP shut us out earlier in the year so that's my fear if he's on his game.

Hopefully the celebration was brief and ended inside of the clubhouse last night with a day game today and a hell of a lot to play for….

Or do they sandbag to screw the Astros over? The Astros and M's had the on field issues the other day between the teams after Neris and Rodriguez got into it.

I would not be shocked when the lineups come out if the M's "rest" some players. The series against the Rangers has never been contentious, but their series with Houston has been, then most if not all teams have contentious series against the Astros.

Doesn't surprise me. How many times have Jung or Garcia gotten called out on strikes when it was clearly outside the damn zone?

Sometimes…. I wish the MLB was like the NBA and gave their star players preferential treatment with the refs.
You know, Cardinals, Yankees,and BoSox used to get preferential treatment. Some MLB stars still do.

It could go 1 of 2 ways.

Either the mariners come out like the lowly 8th seeded warriors from 2007 against the mavericks and just play loose like they have nothing to lose

Or they decide to mail it in and take it easy knowing that their season is over.

I think the Mariners hate the Astros a lot more than they hate us, so we'll see. Maybe Servais will throw crappy relievers in a close game or give Rodriguez / Crawford the last few innings off to rest.

For those that care, today's performance for Seager and Diaz will decide the Batting Champion.

0.3298097 Seager
0.3295238 Yandy Diaz

I assume Diaz plays today.

Everyone trying to hyper-analyze the motivations of teams not playing for playoff seeding.

DBacks could punt. Mariners could punt. No sense in trying to predict.

Hell, we can't be 100% certain Bochy won't punt the Sunday day game

The Dbacks have a 1 game lead over the cubs. Is AZ already in or do the cubs hold a tie breaker? Just curious if today's results have any effect on their playoff picture.

Maybe they just want to give them a curtain call.

A gem from the Astros thread:

Quote:
If I was a fan, I'd lose all respect for my team if they were consciously throwing it.



This is a franchise that over 4 seasons set the modern day futility record, purposely tanking in order to amass top draft picks that forced MLB to actually change their draft rules in order to prevent teams from ever tanking like that again.

Mariners playing their guys because Julio and Neris are best buds, I guess. I mean, Juli Gurriel himself said that Neris would never say or do anything racist or homophobic.

Gotta hope the M's kinda swing for personal goals instead of team goals, and Dunning can keep them off-balanced. Definitely saw a few 'me' swings in B1.

They showed they were a crap franchise when they deliberately drafted injured A&M pitcher Barrett Loux, so he could fail his physical and they could save money.
