Something else I noticed: Dyson has gone back on 2 balls to the wall since getting hurt and he has pulled back on both of them. I think it is in his head.

Umpire Joe West suspended 3 games after calling Adrian Beltre game's biggest complainer in USA Today, per WUA. Union strongly opposes suspension.

Evan Grant‏Verified account @Evan_P_Grant 1h1 hour ago

Beltre said he thought suspension of Joe West was unnecessary. Says West told him he was kidding when he worked series in early July.

I'm still happy with the Seagura trade, but man I wish we had Taijuan Walker right now.

Would the Mariners broadcast crew stop creaming themselves over the bullpen? Meanwhile our starting pitching has shit the bed nearly every fucking game that Paxton doesn't start.

It's obvious they were told to say such thing on the broadcast booth. Say it enough and the casual fans will catch on is the motto.

i just got sirius xm radio with my new car, and mlb coverage sounds better to me than regular radio.

just fyi

Runner on third with one out and Cano fucking pops out. The guy for Oakland making less than a million dollars a year hitting .227 can hit a sacrifice fly, but Cano can't.

Although that sucks, Robbie still is hitting .308 with RISP. His OPS is nearly 1.000 in such situations.

It's easy to get pissed about those situations with how much he is being paid, but he's not going to be perfect.

Hitting .332 with runners on. He has actually been much more effective with RISP and men on base.

FM and AM is garbage in terms of audio quality compared to Sirius.

 

[Destroydacre]

I can't believe Gamel scored on that.

Great play.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Ugh Segura favoring his shoulder after that slide.

 

[Destroydacre]

Good god Cruz what an awful at bat.

 

[cezero]

there is never a reason to do a head first slide into any base off of a hit

i learned this from the wile e coyote school of physics

 

[NWinAZ]

I was worried Valencia would be a little butt-hurt with Alonso coming in but didn't realize they are good friends who played in college together. I like the tandem for the future if the price is right so we can spend, spend, spend on pitching.

 

[NWinAZ]

Ugh Segura favoring his shoulder after that slide.

Swear to gawd he grabbed his shoulder 10 seconds after I traded for him on my fantasy team...

 

[NWinAZ]

Funny Non Mariner thing

The best thing that could ever happen to this team this season is Martin clearing waiver after being DFA'd. I still can't believe no one picked him up.. what a blessing as he's been a beast since his return.

 

[Tapey]

This game started bad and might end up ok
