Klondike

Quite the oppisite. This team just played beyond its means the first 60 games. The next 50 they are about who they are. A .500 team. As well as the rest if the division played sub- .500. So he got them to play great ball and gave us joy before the long season eats up all the delusions and daily grind sets in. Hinch always pounds into the ground the fact after great performances, you have to come out the very next day and start all over again. The good teams know this and will pace themselves. It's great to get off to great starts but you have to sustain for 162 games. I think Hinch knew this as well and although dissapointed in this recent slump, not too overly emotional. It also tells us how great of a season last year was with the chaos and all. Even that was not sustainable.

If anything, they may become sellers. It's time to think of the future. The present ain't it yet. Getting some second-line talent that may not work out anyway seems futile.

Don't forget Perez. He's only 16-69 in last AB with no home runs. I asked for him to take over for Carps when he was slumping. I guess that water thing is just taking over. It also shows that getting someone that was successful in the first half is no guarentee he'll do the same in the second. Best bet is to get good ballplayers to start with and let them play the whole season.

Its that damn water! Always striving to seek levelness

They'll be great in 28'

I would take the old Baez defense at shortstop and the solid journeyman McKinstry. They are not real all-stars but a Championship team needs those types. Problem is the Tiger's don't have enough stars otherwise. If they win it will be by pitching and stopping the other team scoring. I wish they would get a really good defensive 3rd baseman and load up on more pitching.

The Tiger's gave him 15 million to practice pitch a whole season. What a gig if your Cobb.

I'd rather it be an actuall injury. That sounds worse.

Same as when the pitcher commits an error they DON'T get an earned run. Stuuupid

I was sorta hoping for an Eovaldi vs. Skubal match-up for entertainment. I'll take a Latz for a better better's win opportunity for the Tiger's.

Texas can be like 100+ in the shade every day of summer. No day games

It's best feature (the DH) is simply it allows older players who cant run or play the field well to stick around and hit. Pretty much the only positive thing. The unions love it.

Anything is better than the ghost runners

That's about it. I didnt do the in depth math. Actually I heard from a few different sorces that they played .500 ball after that huge start. A little over .500 it turns out. Still it goes to show what a big lead can do.

A little factiod. The Mariners swept the Tiger's rigjt after their 35-5 start in 1984. They then proceeded to play .500 ball the resr of the way en route to their W.S. win.

Pitching pitching pitching. And maybe some defense help at 3rd. That is all.

Tiger's out homered by Seatle 15-6 this year. The Mariners scored as much runs in the ninth innings as the Tiger's all series.

Oh, Kahnal or wtf his spelling is special pitch. I think teams are looking for it now.

Almost like they know what's coming

Ouch. Didn't consider we'de be the Mariner's prison bi××× the whole series

Have a feelin' Tiger's will crush it today. But they are reelin' with the pitching. I'm glad they built a huge lead and have a long time to try to mend tgings until Play-Off time.

No. Biting sarcasm

It could be a good series only to show that we may need a total cleaning of bullpen. The radio guys are building up the Mariners offense but they aren't this good.

Let's just bury this game..er series.. it never happened

It's always about pitching AND defense. This team concerns me more about adding some more BP arms and maybe a good defensive third basemen. Just playing good ball the way they know how to and have been playing. Parker has to get better. He misplayed a ball yesterday. I don't know. I hate seeing games like yesterday. Raliagh guy is a beast.
