Gio is fucking yoked, jesus.

Giolito is going to be a Dodger soon. Enjoy him while we can I guess.

doesn't even really matter honestly he wasn't going to play much before Tuesday anyways based on what they are saying. Get an extra body up here.

Yea how can you not have faith in Yaz? He drives you crazy behind the plate at times but in front of the plate he's a proven stud that has a pretty slump proof formula. Even when he's struggling he's still getting on base a few times every series.

Given the players available that lineup is about as good as you can hope for. At least Sheets isn't in RF again.

400 now but a 52% GB rate. On a positive note his walk rate is way up and his popup rate is zero. He's making solid contact, just needs to lift a bit.

The Mariners have scored!

Kelenic down to 486 OPS. On a brighter note he has now gone 5 PA in a row without a K!

Mariners scoreless in their last 25 innings. Bruh.

Yea, sounds right. I haven't been to Wrigleyville in over 10 years but last time I was there for an event we just parked somewhere to the west, was about a 15 minute walk IIRC back to the area.

Park your ass at Hop Leaf for a few hours before game then take a scooter down. Don't fall over.

The Will to Win is strong right now. I see an ass whooping today. 7-3 final.

Reset your troll meter to zero, you had a good run, I think it was like 100 posts in a row.

The southern owners don't want lopsided home schedules before summer. They will lose a lot of money.

Yea, it reminded me of being on the beach out at Neah Bay in WA. It's miserable. It's not just the 48 degrees it's the constant blowing drizzle that just never lets up. You do not want to be in that weather without a warm fire and a dry tent. I don't recommend going and sitting outside at a baseball game in it!

Al Yellon cracks me up. Classic homer and old man b**** fest about the game, weather and crowd last night on his writeup: https://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/2022/5/4/23056606/cubs-white-sox-recap-keegan-thompson-nico-hoerner-mlb-scores The funniest part is how numerous people that were at the game telling him most the fights were started by cubs fans and Al saying "didn't see any of that around me!". There are idiots everywhere and I'm sure Sox fans did their share of fighting but to completely deny that fights even broke out is on another level. I guess reading it again you could charitably assume Al just meant he didn't see any fights around him and wasn't denying (the caught on video) numerous cubs fans involved in scuffles.

Thanks for all the threads dude.

Baseball doesn't make any sense a lot of the time. Part of the intrigue and frustration.

He was Tom Brady, until he wasn't.

Kelenic with a terrible AB to finish a bad night for Seattle. Don't think they have scored in like 20 innings now. Things change fast this time of year as we saw with the Sox. Mariners were in 1st a week ago now they are back to .500 at 12-12, reeling on a 5 game losing streak. Rodriguez is a natural CF and has insane raw power. I like him a lot more than Kelenic. Kelenic as I've said is a guy that look like Tarzan but plays like Jane. 6-2, 205lbs, chiseled, but can't hit for shit and doesn't take great routes either. That said, Kelenic has played an awesome OF so far. Statcast ranks for Kelenic, lines up almost perfectly with the eye test. Sucks at everything except getting jumps so far and making plays in the OF. 53rd percentile for sprint speed. Average MLB caliber athlete. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/jarred-kelenic-672284?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb

Winner, great job from the pitching staff. Offense did enough.

Harrison swinging a tennis racket with no strings.

jake flying open badly.

yea, like a split squad game at the home park before the real season opener, complete with late March weather.
