I sure am loving all those articles about the Padres style of rebuilding vs the Astros style from the offseason right about now :getin:

Hey two shutouts in a row for the Mariners :toot: Taijuan pitched well, Cano got 4 hits, Cruz socked a dinger. It's like how the team was supposed to play when this roster was set up!

If Cano starts raking like he's supposed to...well, is it too late for a comeback?

Probably

Mariner fans, in case you weren't feeling hopeless enough, the M's will have to play like the St. Louis Cardinals did for the 1st half (i.e. a .671 winning percentage) in order to get above 85 wins for the rest of the season.

See you next year, playoff hopes :smith:

They're screwed, but for what it's worth, that math is off a bit.

Currently 36-42 with 84 games left in the season.
86 wins would take going 50-34 the rest of the way - a .595 clip.

Guess it depends on how you parse "play like the Cardinals", but it doesn't matter anyway, since they're not playing .595 baseball either.

Replace "Cardinals" with "Royals" though and it's more or less spot on.

Tigers learned nothing from Alex Avila and start James McCann after he caught 14 innings last night.

I'm confused. What does it mean when a man in a Pirates uniform strikes the ball and it travels over the wall? It feels somewhat familiar but I can't place the name
