Way beyond time IMHO. It sets the stage for more involvement by robot umps...

Apparently not all of the player representatives were in favor of the change. Made me wonder what Cal's position on this was as, I believe, the only catcher on the list and one of the games best pitch framers.

Big series for Cleveland starts today. M's magic number is 3; Rockies s/b a layup but you never know then it's on to LA -- almost never a layup in Sep.

Ready set...

I bet there will be a few butts in the seats tonight at T-Mobile and it's going to be loud. Looking forward to watching the M's get 'er done.

Thank you Skrubal

Unbelievable, Who's next?

 

[RCF]

The next game is always the most important one.

After dropping an F-bomb on TV like that Cal Raleigh should be a lock for league MVP

Can i quote him on that? I burst out laughing.

 

[Replicant]

First time I've ever rooted for the Yankees or the A's.

 

[Replicant]

Bye bye Houston!!!!!

 

[RCF]

After Naylor hit the base clearing double,, it is the FIRST time I have seen any emotions from him. Shows how much he cares for the team.

Sign him up for the next few years.

Without a doubt! I think he loves playing here

May the Mariners win tomorrow and be locked into 1st place in the conference.

I want to watch the Seahawks on Thursday . Mariners are a higher priority, but do not want to make that choice.

Hiking that ball was one of the dumbest plays I've seen in a while, just eat it, you had no chance - led to a big inning.

Yeah we certainly got to him when we needed to, with all the bunting that inning. The pitch to Fry was unfortunate, for anyone who saw the footage, but I'm grateful it ended as well as it did.

 

[Snopro]

Well, that was a good first inning. Have a feeling he'll dump a deuce tonight.

 

[albula]

Only natural to expect a bit of a letdown after last night's emotional victory.
