Time for a new thread. I've always had particular contempt for the Mariners for 1995. Still pissed about that series. Anyway, the Mariners have been playing way, WAY above their heads. Time for some regression to the mean.

German vs. someone named Marco Gonzalez
I think so. Pretty sure he's been stretched out to that already or pretty darn close to it.
I think it'll have more to do with how taxing his pitches actually are. If he coasts like he has been, sure but if 15 or so are really tough,pressure pitches, he'll probably yank him at 80ish IMO.
They need 28 spots on this roster....
On the broadcast Kay said El Gary’s lineout to LF was the hardest hit ball in MLB so far this season at 121 MPH. Previous high was a ground ball single by Judge at 119.9 on 5/27
And German looks brilliant tonight

If only because of the impact the footsteps have on Hicks's OPS.

I've thought for a while MLB should have 27-28 man rosters but only have 25 active each game. It's about paying the players though so it'll probably never happen.
I feel the same about the NFL.

It's not even 9pm and we're just about halfway through 7.
He showed me something in the game he lost to the Stros at the Stadium a couple of weeks back. He gave up the early 3run HR but bounced back to get a bunch of K's and weak outs just like tonight. Two top hitting teams he had a ton of swings and misses against.
Gotta love it.
Good game for Warren in relief I think
2 down.
And the guy didn't miss a beat. He did the same thing last time he had a long layoff. Came in and went right to work.
Gotta let him finish this one I'd think.

LOL, wow.. 22 days rest for Cole. This should be interesting.

Really impressive - I didn't think he'd be nearly as sharp.
I think Gleyber broke StatCast.. LOL
Good point. Paul was my favorite Yankee during the late 90's/early 2000's. So, to hear my favorite Yankee from those great teams gush about this lovable Yankees team has been an absolute treat for me.
King Felix manana....
Gary is going to breakout soon. Keep squaring the ball up like that and he’ll be fine
German has special stuff. Fastball command and some first inning issues the main obstacles for him right now but he’s getting a lot of swings and misses
Not a bad gig, right?
King Felix manana....
Crazy to think that as good as Felix was for so long, he never got to throw a single pitch in the postseason.
That should finally change this year. But he's a far, far cry from the elite CYA winner he once was.
Hasn't been hurt, they literally just haven't needed him. The pen had something like a 0.50 ERA over the last ~3 weeks. Pretty much every single guy has been dominant whether it be Green, Holder, Betances, Chapman, Warren, or Robertson. Shreve is really the only guy who hasn't pitched that well.
Just absolutely loaded on the back end right now - and that's what you need to be playing deep into October.
This team is set up beautifully right now. I really wouldn't mess with this.

True and good point. Kahnle is also working his way back. We have had unbelievable pitching for a long stretch.
Excellent! Always nice seeing them lose a Sale game.

and get one more chance in 9th.

Yup. When the Ace loses it ramps up the pressure on the rotation. They've got two more in Minn and then home to Seattle.
They were down 2-1 into the top of the 8th and tied it up only to have the Twins get four in the bottom of the 8th off their pen. Scott and Kelly coughed up the four runs.
Heading to top 9.
