Series Thread: 10-Game Roadtrip: 5/16 - 5/25

[cezero]

No days off on this trip.

3 against the Pads, Today - 5/18
3 against the White Sox, 5/19 - 21
4 against the Astros to cap it off, 5/22 - 5/26

What place will the M's be in the west by the end of this one? 4 against the Astros will probably have a lot of impact on that.

---------------------

This is what Hollader said about Kirby, who's throwing his 2nd rehab outing today: Looks very doubtful he'll be ready to come back until maybe the very end of the next homestand, but progress is sounding okay. I'm betting it won't be until around the 2nd week of June.

“George is supposed to throw his next rehab outing on (Friday, May 16). We’re kind of taking it outing by outing and seeing where he’s at, how he feels,” Hollander said. “So we’ll see how George does on the 16th and how he feels afterwards.”

Hollander had said before that Kirby would need at least three rehab outings before being activated by the Mariners, but at this point Seattle may want to take a little more time.

“It's amazing what can happen when a group of players come together and believe in the team. And I think that's what we’re watching. It sounds like a movie or something, but that's the way it's playing.”

The Curse of the 54% is real.

Seriously, I would be surprised if we aren't passed by ALL three teams who are close to us right now.
Texas, Houston, A's...We could be giving up that division lead by tonight...

and end up in serious trouble before the road trip ends.

And somewhere, Stanton is laughing about it. I wouldn't put it past him.

Ya I saw the standings and didn't realize we were all that tight with the exception of Angels. Crazy close.

I do think that is how it is going to be for the whole year though. All of the teams in the AL West have massive flaws. But obviously problem for the M’s is their strength is hurt and the offense had their one month heater from Mid April to Mid May

Yep. Another one I won't watch. Given the matchup maybe it won't be a bad thing.

I watched. Evans pitched very well and Vargas looked very good as well.

M's hitters started off the game super aggressive and it paid off.
