Mariners @ Astros, 8/20/2023

My Aussie Shepherd keeps bringing and leaving things next to me on the couch, there is a deer antler, a frisbee, a tennis ball, and a tug-rope. I think she might be trying to tell me something.

That’s understandable to a degree, but you can’t negatively affect pitchers ERA by ruling plays like Bregman dropping that pop up a hit.

There was a play in the Dodgers-Brewers game earlier this week where the Brewers centerfielder clanked a fly ball on the warning track and Freddie Freeman was given a double. They finally adjusted it to an error the next day.

She wants to play more than the Astros?

That was the gist of it, iirc

Also iirc, the pitchers who were interviewed were not pleased

That dog needs some goats to herd around

Alvarez hacking…works the count full…whiffs

Damn.

Per gameday he got two meaty sinkers to hit and fouled them both back.

Chas carved the fuck up

Sorry, that was Diaz who was carved up. McCormick singles

And it’s up to Singleton…who begins by hacking at a pitch at his face.

C’mon Singleton, find the magic again.

YES!

And that’s it

Mariners come in and absolutely steam roll the Astros and essentially tie them for second place.

no.

Sum bull sheeet the last fee days

Singleton is 1-26 since the 2-HR game. Mariners first sweep of the Astros in 5 years.

It’s almost like there is a reason he’s not been able to stick in the big leagues.

It’s such a hard game.

It’s very hard. That doesn’t mean they should just keep running him out there in critical situations, when nothing in his decade long professional history suggests he’s capable.
