The Phillies apparently forgot how to pitch recently, so I wouldn't get too excited about beating them.

On the other hand Aaron Altherr is a beautiful, wonderful man.

Mariner's are .500 for the first time this season, I will get excited about whatever I drat well please.

I mostly agree, but Attanasio's fervent desire to win all the time but on a budget left the team in a really bad position. I think hiring a new GM was a good move on the mere fact that he's not as tight with the new guy and the new guy will have his decisions affected by Mark less, regardless of how good of an actual GM that new guy is.

He seems to be on the right track so far, but only time will ultimately tell.

So that play last night in the 7th when Toles couldn't get to a ball in the corner and Julio Urias lost the no-no bid? Yeah turns out it also cost Toles his ACL.

Silver lining is at least Bellinger has a place to play if/when Adrian Gonzalez comes back.

Yeah I'm kinda hoping they are through the worst of it. Will be interesting to see how they do if they can get some of their good players back. I still think they aren't going to make the playoffs but at least they've won the last couple series.

It sounds like he should be a better outfielder than beefcake Kyle Schwarber so the Dodgers have that advantage going for them.

Wish list for Tribe should they still be doing well at Deadline:

1. Get rid of Trevor Bauer.
2. Find proper CF.
3. Find C who can hit.
4. Find another adequate starting pitcher.

Phillies extended Pete Mackanin for 2018 and a 2019 option. This comes less than 24 hours after Joaquin Benoit ripped him for bullpen management.

Phillies Bullpen is so bad, it doesn't matter what inning he puts in a guy. Benoit has been around long enough to know how to get guys out, no matter what inning it is
