I was surprised to see that Rickey Henderson played for nine different teams. But I looked it up. He actually played for one team, Oakland, three different time and played for San Diego twice.

I think JV will get a start, but we really need to have fully rested piggyback. Things can spiral quick and early with him. I hope to not see Ferguson or Scott at all but we may not be able to avoid it.

it's crazy.

Kirby has made 31 starts. Castillo and Gilbert have started 30 times. Miller 29 times

makes an argument that starting pitching is not quite as important as everyone thinks it is

If JV is right (big if)

Framber/HB. Matchup dictates who starts 1/2

Kikuchi with Either Ronel or Arrighetti in a tandem. I like Ron White. Different speed and other arm. Arrighetti doesn't make the cut and I want an extra arm in the pen who is used to that role.

JV.

If JV isn't right he doesn't make my roster. Sucks to get old. Then I'm
Framber/HB
Kikuchi
Arrigetti/RonWhite tandem

They're 24th in runs scored. The fact they're even in postseason contention is a minor miracle.

Or that you actually have to hit the baseball better than a replacement player.

Yeah - I actually took that completely the opposite way - it shows just how much more important pitching is than offense.

The Rangers had some historically great offensive teams, but the pitching was so poor they didn't even sniff the post-season.

The Mariners are 25th in OPS this season and 1st in ERA and are in the hunt for the postseason. They're only 3 games out of WC at this point.

I'll be shocked if JV is left off the roster, and I think there could be a clubhouse revolt if that happens. I understand, from just a recent performance perspective, why someone would want him left off. But I just don't see that happening. I think he gets a start at some point. Just hope we have a fully rested arm to back him up.

I would love to see the fans along the 3rd base line bring copies of his ump scorecard showing he called nearly 1 in 5 actual balls as strikes and fold them into paper airplanes to throw at him.

The fact that they're allowed the lowest number of runs may have something to do with it.

2024 Mariners are 52-4 when they score 5 or more runs

2019 Astros were 71-11

I think the wins scale up quickly with a better offense. League average probably doesn't have a huge impact but if the Mariners had a league leading offense that's a 110+ win team

I don't think that's gonna be an issue.

The only playoff team this division will have is the division winner.

I agree. I'd just hate to have to face them in the playoffs. I want the division locked up before the series with them if that's even possible.

Yes. You could see it change direction.

And Jose's big toe had an owie.

Yeah there is no way someone with as high character as Altuve goes to the length he did to prove his point if he wasn't 100% certain.

High character? Haven't you heard, yet? Altuve is the devil in the flesh because his teammates knew some pitches that were coming years ago.
