    Dodgers sure, but the Thrashstros and Mariners play tomorrow.

    You can have that opinion about the Astros since we don't play today. :)

    Agh! You are both right, and I’ve proven my lack of awareness of the MLB.

    I still think the Dodgers and Braves will win tonight.

    Got a real pitcher's duel going so far in ATL; 1 baserunner total between both teams through 3 innings.

    For what it's worth I always have a soft spot for the Braves so I hope they make it.

    But holy crap, I just wanna win 1 game against Houston. Just have 2 games at home guaranteed. I still can't process yesterday. And we went out last night, nice little rooftop bar, beautiful view of the city... And two large ass tvs playing that god damn replay over and over. Lol

    Dansby would look really nice in a Mariners uniform next season, shift JP over to 2nd and that's a nice up the middle trio.

    hahaha ... Interesting that the Braves have locked up just about every other player very early but not Swanson. Feels like Seattle needs one more bat and getting a guy like him that can flash the leather as well would be a huge upgrade! SS is by far the deepest position of FAs this winter but Turner, Correa and Boegarts are all probably going to want around 30 million, don't know if Ms will pony up that kind of cash but Dansby on a 5/100 seems like a good deal all the way around.

    Should have walked his ass for sure that time. Idk about on Tuesday in the 9th, but definitely there. Or at least throw him junk out of the zone, but he'd still probably find a way. Damnit!

    Yea at this point you can't throw him a strike ... try to get him to chase and if he doesn't than live with the consequences cause he is just a terror right now.

    That, and don't throw him anything with any velocity. Nothing but curves and tailing changeups in the 80s.

    Did he? I literally had just sat down in the newsroom after coming from class and turned on the stream for that at bat. I might have had the window closed before that thing even landed in the Crawford Boxes! Never bothered to see a replay since I'll have to talk about it enough tonight.
