I do like what Dipoto has done for next year especially with the future pen of Castillo, Giles, and Munoz. If all healthy, that is a big 7th-9th inning group. Add a stud LH to the pen and look out.

Another extra base hit for #goodtrade and a nice hard hit single for Kelenic. Hopefully they cash in with bases loaded

Kelenic follows up the single with a home run. Hopefully he's finally starting to get it figured out.

Is it me or does Kelenics stance look almost completely different?

I wonder if he made the change himself or if it took weeks of struggling for a coach to try something different.

Either way, hope it continues because he's hit some balls really hard instead of barely getting a piece to foul them off.

Still way too early, but I'm just gonna keep imagining a Gilbert, Kirby, Hancock, Williamson rotation in a few years.

One reason why there was no need to get into a bidding war for a guy like Scherzer. Barrios would have been nice but likely would have cost one of them plus more.

I didn’t see him credit himself or anyone else with his stance change. He said he was crouching over too much and it was changing his eye level on off speed pitches.

It looks like he copied Seager's stance. with his front foot more toward first base.

Whatever the reason, Kelenic's approach at the plate has made a big difference and he's getting his confidence back.

Kelenic looked good today. Homer, a single, drove in about half the runs for the Mariners and didn’t strikeout once

A good time to be playing Texas after a tough Houston series. Kelenic looking better is something I really hope for the last two months as much as anything

Yea could be a any combination of: new stance - feeling more comfy in the batters box - not playing infront of the home crowd ( less pressure ) - shitty TX pitching ... etc etc

Shitty Texas pitching is probably helping a lot. I imagine the new stance is helping too. From what I understand the hunched over stance was something implemented this year and he used to have a more standing up stance. Apparently per Kelenic with the more hunched over stance it was really hard to see the ball out of the pitchers hand.

This is the first time I've ever said this but give Seager an extension.

Anderson looks great so far. So much better than watching another bullpen start.

Yeah, I'm liking what I'm seeing with Anderson so far. Too early to tell but having a decent start - - I'm keeping in mind this is Texas. Would have been nice to see Moore make the bag at 3rd. I have to keep telling myself this is a Texas gutter team we're playing.
