  1. FWIW Marwin Gonzalez stroked a two-run homer in his second at-bat with the Houston Astros: MLB Gameday: Mariners 8, Astros 5 Final Score (09/08/2021) | MLB.com WWW.MLB.COM Follow MLB results with FREE box scores, pitch-by-pitch strikezone info, and Statcast data for Mariners vs. Astros at Minute Maid Park
  2. Jonathan Arauz reminds me of Abraham Toro, whom the Seattle Mariners acquired from the Houston Astros in the Kendall Graveman deal near the trade deadline. Arauz and Toro are 6-foot, roughly 200-pound switch-hitters who play multiple infield positions. Arauz and Toro apparently were teammates* on the Greeneville Astros, Tri-City ValleyCats, Quad City River Bandits and Buies Creek Astros in the Houston farm system. Toro, who is about 20 months older than Arauz, has posted a .309/.390/.453/.843 line 37 games as Seattle's everyday second baseman. Each entered this season with at least one year of MLB service although only Toro is likely to attain two years of MLB service at the end of this season. FanGraphs gave Toro a 45+ future value and Arauz a 40 future value as prospects. * at least Arauz and Toro played on those teams in the same seasons
  3. Seattle won Saturday evening at Arizona to pull even with Oakland, four games behind the Red Sox in the Wild Card race. Boston's three-game series in Seattle on September 13-15 could be interesting. Or not.
  4. With a separate Boston.com thread, Softlaw attacked this poster for suggesting that Will Middlebrooks might need more time in the minors despite an encouraging MLB debut.
  5. I'm unclear what I'm suspected of. Peace be with you.
  6. You two could ruin a party.
  7. And the Red Sox are 3.5 games ahead of the Seattle Mariners, who Wednesday shut out the Houston Astros for the second straight day to take the three-game series in Seattle.
  8. To be precise, Jeter Downs is 23 years old (DOB 7/27/98).
  9. Just what the Seattle Mariners need: a 23-year-old middle infielder batting .179 (109 strikouts!) in 81 AAA games playing his home games in a hitter's paradise. Sarcasm alert.
  10. Bobby Dalbec indeed was a two-way player at the University of Arizona where the Seattle native reported that his favorite team was the Seattle Mariners: https://arizonawildcats.com/sports/baseball/roster/bobby-dalbec/2353
  11. Lumen Field (formerly CenturyLink Field) now covers "the Kingdome rubble.": https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fpatch.com%2Fwashington%2Fseattle%2Fcenturylink-field-renamed-after-nearly-two-decades&psig=AOvVaw2RyKsJWmR2biqXyi8zoB9A&ust=1630597013942000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAsQjRxqFwoTCMixjo-N3vICFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD
  12. The Red Sox have not swept a three-game series in Seattle since 1993 (although the Sox took a two-game set in 1997). The Red Sox have a losing record in Seattle over that span.
  13. That's the spirit!
  14. Perhaps, but the Red Sox have not swept a three-game series in Seattle since 1993 (although the Sox took a two-game series in 1997). The Red Sox have a losing record in Seattle over that span.
  15. And Tuesday evening Abraham Toro hit a grand slam off Kendall Graveman after the flame-throwing righthander loaded the bases: MLB Gameday: Astros 0, Mariners 4 Final Score (08/31/2021) | MLB.com WWW.MLB.COM Follow MLB results with FREE box scores, pitch-by-pitch strikezone info, and Statcast data for Astros vs. Mariners at T-Mobile Park
  16. One-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell and 21-year-old Luis Patino have graced my fantasy team this year: Patino in my lineup tonight after I traded Snell's expiring fantasy contract for a draft pick that snagged Edward Cabrera, the rookie Miami righthander. To answer the question: no.
  17. Veteran reliever Joe Smith would have been an interesting change-of-scenery trade target. Smith, whom Houston traded with Abraham Toro for Kendall Graveman and Rafael Montero, has posted an 0.84 ERA and 508 ERA+ in 11 appearances with Seattle (despite surrendering a grand slam to Salvador Perez). Rafael Montero likewise has bounced back with a 0.00 ERA in an admittedly small sample of six innings with the Astros. But it's all gamble with relievers at the trade deadline.
  18. FWIW Matt Andriese has faced the minimum in two scoreless, hitless innings with the Seattle Mariners.
  19. FWIW the Yankees at 16-8 are the only AL East team with a cumulative winning record this year against AL West teams: https://www.espn.com/mlb/standings/_/view/vs-division
  20. Three different relievers have posted saves in the Seattle Mariners' last three wins ... and no saves came from presumptive closer Diego Castillo (who is on the IL): https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/SEA/2021-schedule-scores.shtml
  21. This poster hopes to be there for the series finale on the afternoon of September 15.
  22. FWIW the Seattle Mariners dropped the Athletics 1.5 games behind the Red Sox in the Wild Card race with a 5-1 afternoon win for a two-game sweep in Oakland. MLB Gameday: Mariners 5, Athletics 1 Final Score (08/24/2021) | MLB.com WWW.MLB.COM Follow MLB results with FREE box scores, pitch-by-pitch strikezone info, and Statcast data for Mariners vs. Athletics at Oakland Coliseum The Sox can gain or lose a half game tonight.
  23. FWIW the Seattle Mariners rallied with three runs in the ninth innning to topple the Oakland Athletics (who fall a game behind the Red Sox in the Wild Card race). MLB Gameday: Mariners 5, Athletics 3 Final Score (08/23/2021) | MLB.com WWW.MLB.COM Follow MLB results with FREE box scores, pitch-by-pitch strikezone info, and Statcast data for Mariners vs. Athletics at Oakland Coliseum The Mariners are two games behind the Athletics and three games behind the Red Sox.
  24. The hyperbolic highway robbery.
  25. Yes. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/08/red-sox-designate-matt-andriese-for-assignment.html
