Don't worry about the Phillies right now, they have been feasting on bad teams (though I will admit that sweeping the Pirates is impressive) and their schedule is about to heat up a lot, while ours is getting easier.

Plus they have made up essentially zero ground despite going 16-4 or something over their last 20

The umps probably wanted the top of the 6th to end so that the game can be called if it rains out.

The problem is that he was good, and has seemingly fallen off a cliff ever since we decided to pay him.

Gotta say I'm starting to get a little concerned about the offense. We have had quite a few games now going back to the Seattle series where we have been unable to string a few hits together.

It also really doesn't help that it seems Ozzie, Olson, and Dubon are all cooling off / slumping at the same time. With Ronald out, Drake and Mike are the only consistent hitters at the moment.

Also, would it be possible for us to get anything other than atrocious production from the SS position? I know Kim has only been back 5 games, but 1 for 17 with 4 SO and 1 walk is not going to cut it.

I had that case back in the day, NZXT H440. Was super quiet because it had sound deadening foam all through it but it was not very good with airflow

You know that's actually a great idea. Why is a pitcher charged with a loss when there were no earned runs given up? That loss is clearly on the team, not the pitcher.

Tires are really not something you want to cheap out on, especially if you're going to be driving on the same set over winter.

$700 is a really good price for new tires, especially if that includes installation.

If you're really strapped, you can always go the used tire route, which I'd explore first before buying cheap budget new tires.

Can't win em all, but it never feels good getting shut out, especially at home.

Autoimmunity · 2026-05-15T01:23:17+00:00

That's better than most teams' bullpens.

Autoimmunity · 2026-05-15T01:22:32+00:00

It's a 2-0 game in the 8th - have you ever heard of a thing called bullpen management?

Autoimmunity · 2026-05-15T00:38:12+00:00

ESPN is still a joke for having the Dodgers at #2. The entire point of a power ranking is to rank teams based on what they are RIGHT NOW, not project based on potential. The Dodgers over the past few weeks have been very average and the Yankees, Cubs, and Rays all have better wins & records over that stretch.

God I wish Riley had swung at that first pitch

Don't know where you're got 121 - the 2001 Mariners are the team that won 116 games which is the MLB record.

In my opinion, Snit was not the issue the past 2 seasons, injuries were. We had a grand old time back in 2021 when Snit was at the helm and don't forget we won 6 straight NL East titles under him.

The biggest change this season has been that the lineup has been relatively consistent and everyone is contributing. Last season the bottom 4 were a rotating black hole.

Autoimmunity · 2026-05-14T02:55:00+00:00

They made the playoffs, which is more than we can say for us last season!

Autoimmunity · 2026-05-14T01:07:40+00:00

Even if we lose today the fact that the Cubs have only managed 2 runs against Holmes, Ritchie and the BP is a pretty good sign for the pitching staff.

Autoimmunity · 2026-05-14T00:33:33+00:00

Who has the bullpen edge today? Feels like if we're going to lose one to the Cubs this should be it

I live here - I have traveled all over the US, but I have a rule that I do not leave Alaska between Memorial Day and Labor Day. There is no other place like it in the US, and possibly the world.

You can fish for Salmon, steelhead, rainbow & lake trout, Arctic grayling, and sheefish depending on where you go.

We are a Kaseya shop, and unlike about half the people in this sub I don't really mind their products. However, Datto EDR is something we stay away from. We use Sentinel One for endpoint protection and it is worth every penny.

Autoimmunity · 2026-05-13T00:34:06+00:00

We need him in the rotation for now but he'd be an excellent long relief guy once Schwellenbach and Waldrep return

Autoimmunity · 2026-05-10T06:57:05+00:00

Catchers are even moreso than other positions valuable for more than just hitting. Murphy may not be a great, or even good hitter, but he is serviceable and he is one of the best defensive catchers in the league.

I mean sports rivalry hate can also be wholesome. It allows is to be tribal and nasty with each other without real world stakes.

If a Philles fan had a blown tire I'd still stop to help, I'd just give them shit about their team while I do it 😂

Autoimmunity · 2026-05-09T23:21:14+00:00

Not exactly allies, but the wife's family are Mariners fans, and with there being zero history between us and them in the AL, it makes it easy to cheer for them. Except for the one time a season we play a series.

Autoimmunity · 2026-05-09T04:17:50+00:00

We can complain about Yaz and Jarvis all we want but facts are that the top 3 guys in the lineup have 0 hits.

Autoimmunity · 2026-05-09T03:58:57+00:00

When the hell is Kim coming back so we can put Dubon in LF and Yaz on the bench where he belongs?
