We aren't going to be able to limp into the playoffs. The mariners are a good team. And with how the schedule is setup people need to button up because it's going to get closer.

My concern with the Mariners changing coaches is that they catch a spark. Hope last nights comeback isn't the start of something. I'd like to see the Stros go at least 5-4 through next weekend.

The new coach is literally a "special advisor" and occasional color commentator for the mariners. It's the equivalent of firing our manager and hiring Bagwell. Or when the colts hired Saturday.

Maybe they catch a spark, but I'm not worried about them sustaining anything.

If we're not careful we could find ourselves only up 2-3 games at the end of this road trip. We really need at least a split against Baltimore

To have a lead of less than 5 on a team that just fired its coach after falling ro .500 reflects on how many chances this team keeps blowing. Last night an obvious one, but 3-3 against both Sox teams being worse.

Have you seen our outfield, we no longer have the lineup of years past. Pair that with how many games our bullpen blew for us early in the year, and I'm a bit suprised we are in 1st.

checking in with Yainer and the GiDPs...he is the American League leader with 19

according to baseball reference...he hits ground balls in 50% of his at-bats

digging into his splits...

he's had 98 at-bats with a runner on 1st and less than 2 outs...98 AB's where the GiDP was in effect

and 19 times the opponent has gotten the double play ball -- approximately 20% of the time

come the playoffs Espada needs to be proactive in these situations

We traded Valente Bellozo for Amaya when the Marlins DFAd him in April. Bellozo has proceeded to move from AA to debuting for the Fish in July. Not a hard thrower but only 1 poor outing and has faced KC, Boston, Cin, Phi, Atl, and NYM.

for comparison...

Jake has struck out 25 times in August in 69 at-bats

36% clip

or 25 times in 79 plate appearances...32% clip

We continue to lead the MLB in players missing time due to sleeping wrong.

What an awful lineup.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

That's about league average OPS for a corner OF along with a dismal .281 OBP and 2 BB vs 19 K

I'd like to still have him. I'd be more excited about him in the lineup than Dubon...but there's only one player involved on either side of that trade that significantly increases our chances to win in the playoffs and that's Kikuchi.

Speaking of the Kuchi...

Here are the top 20 pitchers, by xFIP, in August. 3, 5, 7 and 16. Not bad
