Another stellar performance from Castillo with the series on the line. Gotta get all 3 in Miami

I would love to see a LH starter to go against a team like Cleveland who are left-handed dominant.

I feel like there's a stronger chance of it getting super tight in September for the AL West and Wildcards, just like last season.

I'd love for the M's to prove me wrong and maintain a good lead to game 162, believe me.

Lost 2 games in standings in 2 days. Ouch!

In the 7th they had two on, one out with Moore up vs a righty. My brother asks me why aren't they pinch-hitting Rojas? Moore hits into inning ending DP.

After the game, Angie says on post game that Service said he didn't because it wasn't about this game it was about long term. They want Moore to see these types of situations. Why the fuck do we care about Moore like he is some stud? He is a utility player and nothing more. Stop force feeding him into the lineup. Stop trying to give him a teaching moment at the cost of the team. I hate Servais more and more every day.

Agree 100%

You make decisions and play to win every single baseball game.

They discovered last season the value of one baseball game at the end of the year when they missed out on the playoffs by a Single Game

Houston is in second place in the division they leaped Texas last night. And they’re going to fight like hell to win another division title.

Make no mistake… they are basically the same team as they were last year and the year before and the year before.

The 1906 White Sox own the MLB record for lowest team batting average for a first place team ( 75 games or more min) with .230.

The M's are sitting at .220 right now.

If they stand pat this team will eventually fall back.

Dang, sad a modern era team is worst than a team that is played when pitchers could mix tobacco juice and dirt to make that ball hard to see.

Stros start a pretty important 3 game set at home against the orioles tonight. After that series they only face one more team currently above .500 before the AS break. If they find some momentum this weekend they could go on a tear.

The M's next homestand is vs twins, orioles, and the blue jays. Yikes.

I wouldn't yet bank on the M's holding first place into the break.

Graphic came on the screen:
Julio is the only Mariner that has played in every game this season.

My thought:
Lucky us

Julio never met a camera he didn’t like.

We need to add on a few runs, rarely is two runs ever enough to win a game

Kirby...lol. No first pitch down the middle fastballs. They swing at all of them.

Lose to the better teams while battling the bottom teams.

Runners at the corners with no outs, 2 easy outs so far. Sure, bad call on strike 3, but both Moore and Crawford didn't have good ABs as it was.

 

[NWinAZ]

Holy shit Julio!

 

[WizardHawk]

These fucking guys can't hit, have no plan at the plate, no situational awareness, nothing
