  1. 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.
  2. To be precise, Jeter Downs is 23 years old (DOB 7/27/98).
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. That's the spirit!
  8. 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.
  9. 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
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. FWIW Matt Andriese has faced the minimum in two scoreless, hitless innings with the Seattle Mariners.
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. This poster hopes to be there for the series finale on the afternoon of September 15.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. The hyperbolic highway robbery.
  19. Yes. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/08/red-sox-designate-matt-andriese-for-assignment.html
  20. Are the Red Sox still paying Matt Andriese, whom the Sox released last week after signing the righthander in January to a one-year, $2.1 million contract with a team option for 2022? The Seattle Mariners reportedly have signed Andriese to an MLB contract: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/08/mariners-sign-matt-andriese-to-major-league-deal.html#comments
  21. What players should the Red Sox pursue and what contract should the Sox offer in terms of money and years? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/11/2021-22-mlb-free-agents.html
  22. The Red Sox are fortunate to have Chaim Bloom at the helm regardless of whether the Sox secure a postseason berth this year. Unadulterated, unquantified opinion.
  23. And SEA crept to within 2.5 games of the Red Sox (although the Mariners probably aren't a threat to any team). At least not this year. Nevertheless, the September three-game series in Seattle could be meaningful.
  24. Mike Greenwell was batting eighth in the Red Sox lineup that evening: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SEA/SEA199609020.shtml The winning pitcher for the Red Sox was none other than Heathcliff Slocumb. Seattle fans would not be surprised that Bobby Ayala and Norm Charlton each had a blown save.
  25. Citing records against teams above and below .500 is less meaningful if the opponents' records are influenced by the unbalanced schedule that gives the AL East the easier interleague schedule. The NL West has a 43-33 (.566) record against the AL West, which has a 71-64 (.526) record against the AL East, which in turn has a 50-27 (.649) record against the NL East. Those significant differences suggest that the AL East's interleague records would be far worse if the AL East played the NL West (and the AL West would have a better interleague record against the NL East).
