What do you do when your offense sputters being held scoreless after 1 lonely run in the first? Easy peasy. Have a pitching staff that throws 9 innings of 4 hit shut out ball and leave with yet another win.

I like your glass half-full take on it. Even better that the Astros were destroyed by Boston yesterday. That said, it was pretty hard to watch the M's lineup get owned by Kremer(sp?). So many pop ups. They just couldn't get on top of his pitches. To make things worse, I didn't start watching until the 3rd inning. I missed the M's only scoring inning.

Josh Naylor is a bada$$. Watched him twice now square up and drive a pitch that was chin height and off the plate outside. First time was a rope to left field that scored Julio and yesterday he sent one out of bounds on the left side that had the distance for homer.

Rangers losing to the Jays, Orioles smokin' the Astros and it's Munoz time with a 2 run lead.... go M's

PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies just put together not only their best series of the season ... but arguably one of their best ever. They finished off a three-game sweep of the Mariners with an 11-2 rout on Wednesday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park. That capped off a series in which

You forgot to tell Cal.

Took the girls to the game on Katies birthday. Day prior we went up to walmart for some supplies and made a sign for her to flash. She ended up getting to meet Victor Robles who handed her a birthday ball personally.

If I ever catch a 25lb steelhead my expression will look like your daughter's with the ball. Nice shot.

So did I. 4 runs in the first for the M's then bumpkus for the next 8. Cleveland was relentless and Munoz was not particularly sharp tonight.

Winless in September. Don't look back because the Rangers, Rays, Royals, and Guardians nipping at their heels. 23 games to go...gonna need to win 15 I think.

Yup, I'm thinking the Royals need to win 18 of their remaining 24 games - gonna be tough sledding.

Go Royals!!

Most of the American League is sputtering and lifeless this year. Most will back into the playoffs in reverse.

 

[_WW_]

Most will back into the playoffs in reverse.

Unlike myself that uses a Travers trick and backs in CHARGING straight ahead WITH FORCE!

Detroit Tigers, Toronto Blue Jays ... same can be said for the National League - no dominant teams, it is aa long season with ebbs and flows.

Go Royals

At the risk of sounding like sour grapes. The M's slump isn't just about them not playing well. They seem to be hitting sub .500 teams when they're bio-rythm is peaking. To wit; the Rays came off of a sweep and are just hitting the sh*t out of M's pitching.. water balloon base hits in the gaps off sliders below the zone.. ridiculous.

the Giants suck, cursed ever since they brought whine baby supreme Rafeal Devers on board

 

[RCF]

Someone should of told Kirby he was not throwing batting practice.

It appears that the M's major predicted strength, their pitching after last years performance, has now become an unpredictable mess. This thing called baseball sure is a funny game.
