holy mother fucking shit.

ok, now that we won, let's start listing the terrible things we did today.

i'll start.

our bullpen had 9 walks.

Terrible things we did today? Well, we played Tyler White for 14 innings.

(Let's give the man his due, he reached base 4 times, probably his best offensive game of the season. But holy shit, how, in the year of the HR, did he turn into a slappy singles hitter? Wait, I'll take singles from him at this point.)

Likely a one year deal, per reports 
He rolling the dice again for next year to get that 5 year 100 million contract

Leadoff walk in the 8th and 9th. Two guys standing next to each other watching a ball fall out of the sky.
Not getting your feet set properly on a DP ball.

Mariners are still a MLB team. Little shit matters and this is how slumps start, especially with the AAAA lineup we’ll still be trotting out there a while.

Get your shit together and win this in the 10th.

Here’s a few others things we didn’t do well.

Can’t believe we won that.
Mariners truly are a bad team.
Maybe the worst with the orioles if they didn’t have that good Ichiro voodoo that got them off to a 13-2 start.

I predicted a good game for white but thought it might be the time he finally busted out with some XBHs.
Poor dude is a mess and really has no hope. It’s a shame there is no opportunity for him to go down to Round Rock for a few weeks, play every day and fix his mechanics to find his power again (whatever there is to find). it’s clear he’s not going to find it against MLB pitching.

Well done to cobble that together with a games worth of ABs from Fisher, Straw, White, Marisnick, Kemp and Mayfield...and an infield of Yuli, Mayfield, Kemp and White.

How long is Diaz out for?

my understanding is that he should be starting a rehab assignment soon, and should be back after that.  if no setbacks, i would guess sometime during the homestand.

i actually just researched all 3 (not correa) on rotoworld and has all 3 on a ~mid-june return date.

june 20th is when our series starts @nyy.  would be really nice to have all of them back for that (or the 3 games before then in cincy for a tuneup)

No ill will.
Schadenfruede is always fun, but he wasn’t part of our future plans at the pricepoint he was looking for so best of luck to him elsewhere.

Sure, he wasn’t the most endearing Astro at the end of his time here, but dude was one of the lone bright spots during some horrendously lean years and maybe pushed the franchise timeline up a year or so with the season he had leading the staff in 2015. And who knows, maybe his bitchassedness at the 2017 non-waiver trade deadline actually helped Luhnow/Crane pull the trigger for JV a month later (subconsciously if nothing else). That will never be admitted to, but it is fact he stepped up and recruited/lobbied JV to waive his no-trade clause.

Good luck in ATL.

Sooner has as many homers as fat boy in like 1/6th of the plate appearances now.  Pretty fucking shameful.  

but fewer hits

This is my side. Dude didn’t do us bad by any stretch. He just made a bad bet on himself.
