They let Bregman go, I may stop being a fan. 

Pretty sure Bregman will not resign after this season.

Nature of the business. Can't sign everyone to lifelong contracts.

In regards to what is happening now, Bregman said the MRI showed no structural damage to elbow. Just some inflammation. Going to sit out the White Sox series this weekend.

Yes, but I listen to rumors. There are some people that need to be signed. I think Bregman is one of those.

Lose to last place White Sox 5-4.  Still 3 up Mariners lose 5-3

4 games up. Shay Whitcomb 2-4 in his debut. Guess he’ll be traded.

[rupert3]

Nice 6-1 win now 4 game up as Mariners lose again.

Sorry posted same time

Sorry, Whitcomb 2-3. Double, walk, run.

[rupert3]

Nice series win.  2-0 3 hit gem by Valdez.  Altuve and Diaz dingers did it.

Hader 27 saves  Now we change Sox

Mariners winninh 10-3 bottom 9

Well, Alvarez in 2 hole tonight as no Bregman in lineup.

I’d move Peña or Dubón to 2nd.

Here we agree. Why not Pena (don’t know how to insert the tilde) and Alvarez 4 or Alvarez 3 and Diaz 4, or vice versa?

Too many players to insert to keep Alvarez @ 3 slot. 
 

Hold down on the letter and slide to the tilde or accent.

No problem. Alvarez giving the Red Sox fits again. He’d bat great anywhere in the lineup, but I think it’s better for the team if he bats 3rd with Tucker behind. Diaz has filled that 4 spot better that I would have thought.

We agree again! Can’t pitch around Alvarez with Tucker behind him. Maybe that’s why they put him in the 2 spot. A little harder to pitch around that spot. He might not get as many RBI there, but he’ll score more runs (if he doesn’t get thrown out at home). We need to talk more baseball.

Tied 4-4 in bottom 9

Walk off Dinger Diaz 5-4

Surprise comeback with the way the infield stunk it up. I think it’s fair to say we need Bregman at 3rd base. Whitcomb can’t play 3rd.

Mariners lose we now 5 games up.  With all their perceived troubles we seem to find a way to pull off a win.  9-1 last 10 games.  Best in baseball

[rupert3]

Verlander to start tomorrow vs Red Sox.

Luis Garcia not returning.  Talk of Neris returning.

[baddog]

Is it me, or do we seem to always play a team with a “former” Astro?

[rupert3]

Not you and they always seem to play better.

6-5  no go last night but you can't win em all

Red Sox were hitting the ball well. Duran is a monster. Didn’t he reach base every time? We’ll be ok.  Mariners are helping all they can.

[rupert3]

Another no go today 4-1.  Only score for us was Bregman dinger.  Verlander 6Ks and looked pretty decent.

First series loss in a long time.

At least the Mariners are accommodating. Astros still up 5. Defending champs pick up a game.
