    Pitch 4" off the plate --- STRIKE

    You know an Astro didn't throw it.

    Needed a sweep because they lost the series to the Rangers.

    Couldn't expect Jake, Cabbage or Loperfido to do nothing but what they just did in the 9th against Munoz.

    Just needed one of them to come through to give altuve a chance.

    They couldn't do it. Munoz is helluva closer this year. Dude is on something else.

    Yeah, was hoping but just felt like a long shot those 3 could make something happen against a good closer.

    Pitching abreu, Pressly and Hader 2 nights in a row really screwed up the chance of winning this game.

    But it is what it is.

    Sucks that Seth couldn't get haniger out aftering going up 0-2.

    Big picture, we won the series.

    Yordan Cycle-rez

    Hindsight (somewhat)... but going forward, Blanco should never enter an inning with 80+ pitches. He needs to be load managed starting yesterday.

    I don't cheer for injuries, but Seattle has been very fortunate this year. We'll see Julio's fate.

    Win 4 games vs OAK and LAD and continue progessing forward.

    We could've tied the season series 5-5. Now Mariners up 6-4 for the season. Hopefully it won't get to tie-breakers down the line but you never know. It mattered last season.

    Yordan now has more cycles than Jeter and Judge combined.

    "Unnecessary" loss (winnable game). Yordan did his part. Shame, but sweeps are hard to get.

    Imagine if we didn't have complete dead weight at first base in that earlier series...

    I caught the last few innings and disappointed couldn’t get the sweep but like how the Astros kept it close.

    Im trying avoid the over the top optimism liked this series overall.

    15-29 in games decided by 2 runs or less

    If only he had let Blanco get the last out of the 6th inning.

    Oh well.
