Julio is too damn good. The team is way different with him in the lineup.

And here's the weird thing. If im reading this right, the 2nd wild card team will have ALL home games against the 3rd wild card.

So I think it's actually best to be the 2nd wildcard. So that may be interesting when you get to the end. Cause the 1st wild card team will have all road games against the 3rd best division leader.

If that's actually the way it works, that's dumb. 3rd div winner and 1st wildcard should both host series'.

You would think. And I didn't dive deep so you may be right but the way they have it written up it reads that way. So I may have just authored some misinformation lol.

I would think DW faces #3 wild card and #1 hosts #2 wild card as well and honestly that's the way it should be if it isn't.

I'm just too lazy and unfocused to get a concrete answer lol
 
If you were born The/One of The G.O.A.T’s of any sport in the world.

What sport would it be, and why?

NBA?
NFL?

Tennis?
Soccer?

Table Tennis?
 
Soccer would be my answer.

Drink for free at any pub when I retire. Competitive sport. Big time competitions. I guess all pro sports do… Like the Playoffs, or Olympics. But the World Cup is massive.

Realistically if aliens showed up to earth and challenged us to our greatest sporting competition it’s probably going to be the Olympics, or the World Cup. Depending on what they look like, we might fare better at soccer.

I know it’s OT but I’m supporting this mariners thread.

if Space Jam has taught us anything, aliens are really good at basketball.
 
Big trade for Castillo that looks to be 4 minor leaguers, including Marte.
 
We gave up two big prospects for Castillo (Marte and Arroyo, both SS) and a couple middle ranked dudes. Makes sense why we drafted a SS in the first round. Also signed an international SS prospect named Felnin Celestin who will probably be ranked higher than Marte is.

Glad to get another ace. Castillo, Ray, Gilbert, Kirby and Hancock in a few years could be a nasty rotation. I’d hope to trade Ray by then tbh if anyone will take that contract.

still really need to add a bat or two though. The offense can be anemic at times

The offense pisses me off.

And no Soto. Padres probably have them. Machado, Tatis, Soto. Lord almighty.

They seem to be in win now mode while their best player is a 21 year old

doing everything possible to make the playoffs. Kirby can’t put too many innings on his arm this year. I wouldn’t be surprised to see bullpen starts and him coming in the second inning

Didn't they send Kirby back down? Maybe I misread a headline.

i think they sent him down before the break to save his arm since he doesn’t have much innings in his minor league career. He was brought back up after the all star break and started I think the game on Monday. He’s scheduled to pitch tomorrow.

they are being really cautious with him. As they should.

I wonder if the Mariners can win the division now?

God no. Have you watched any games? First off they can't beat the Astros. 2nd the Astros only lose to the athletics. It's the wild card like it is for the rest of the AL. surprised this question was even asked lol

I figured it was something like that. Rookie rules in the MLB are very complicated.
 
All goes to plan as Abraham Toro pinch hits for Julio Rodriguez and Mariners rally past Astros in ninth.


With Rodriguez out of the game (he underwent X-rays postgame but the results weren’t known), Dylan Moore having already exited earlier in the game due to back spasms and Sam Haggerty bleeding from a gash in his forehead after spiking his helmet in frustration only to have it bounce back and hit him in the face, Servais had no bench players left from the top of the ninth for the bottom of the inning.

Later in the article.

Haggerty’s attempt to sacrifice bunt them over failed and led to his outburst in the dugout.

I love the fire but that is also hilarious!
 
Bruh Julio better freaking be okay but I am pretty sure he's gonna be out for the Yankees series so fml I guess
 
Yeah I think julio will be out awhile. Hopefully the team can stay afloat without him

X-rays negative and hearing it might not be more than a couple days? Nothing confirmed on how long he'd be out but obviously best case scenario.

The line up being rolled out today? Oooof. Also no Ty France. It's bad. lol
