Mariners @ Angels game thread August 3 2023

Mariners are going to make a run and make it interesting at the end of the season, aren’t they? I think the last 2 weeks will do them in, but they will stay close until then

I think they make it. M's are better than NYY, LAA, BOS and TOR. And TEX is falling on its face (watch).

That said, IF they do fall short by a game or 2, we'll look back at those dreadful losses in CLE, at NYY, vs WAS, etc and shake our heads

I’ll look at all the losses in the first 2 months on 1 run games that could have been avoided if they just add 1 more legit MLB bat in the off-season

Yea we would be In first or close to it

I don't look at that way. "One more legit bat"... like Josh Bell or Cody Bellinger? who were pretty bad in the first half too?
No, the problem was that France, Julio, Geno, Cal, Teo all were below their career avg marks and they didn't have a DH at all.

Fuck is this offense gonna lose this bullpen? FUCKING WEAK.

To think we rolled into this season without a LOOGY in the pen and here we have Speier just lights out. I love me some Gabe Speier.

Yea this game is over. ANGELS just got a lot better then us with trades to actually help in the chase.

Bellinger had a .846 OPS in the first half. That's only around 70 points higher than our best regular.

Has Servais ever pinch hit for his loverboy Ty France? I don't think he has. Cuz I would right now... Bring in big Tom Murph

Thanks for looking. I guess I'm thinking of someone else.

Better pinch run here for Ty France. Get Cabby in there
