Mariners at Astros, August 21, 2021

Not to mention that when you’re giving up runs like they are, you gotta get outs whenever you can.

One hurts your feelings the other just hurts.

Just my opinion of what I see.

I’ll leave the opinions and comments to the rest of you.

Brantley

Flies out to center. Inning over.

I do think it’s fair to say defensive excellence does not seem to be a high priority for some of our AL West bunkmates.

The Mariners defense would not have made a difference the last two games. The Astros came home and, as Espada said in his interview earlier today, they started swinging at good pitches to hit again.

In Kansas City, they looked at hittable pitches and swung frequently at junk out of the zone in pitchers’ counts.

Let’s hope they don’t get to 12 and hit a wall like yesterday.

Haniger

Homers to LF. 12-1.

I don’t think he was implying that.

And we’ve seen Haniger make plays like that.

Maybe it’s just 2 of those games for them.

Uh oh. Someone woke Mitch Haniger.

Hanging splitter.

“Just my opinion” is not an answer here. There are many sophisticated and knowledgeable baseball people on this site who may challenge your opinion, politely I hope because you have been a good contributor. That does not mean some opinions will not be challenged. Lots of folks here are good teachers.

Seager

Pops out to Machete.

Maybe a package deal to send him and Seager to the KBL.

Maldy going with the baldy look.

Haniger has been unusually quiet until now.

France

Hits a flair to RF that falls.

Toro

Grounds out 4-6.

Ugh. Hate that flip
