    Ramirez is a great hitter but he’s not Aaron Judge - he only has 15 homers now on the season. And to your point, we ended up losing the game because terrible hitters Bo Naylor and Rocchio did damage.

    Looks like the Mariners get to dodge Max Fried in their series vs the Yankees. And they'll probably get to face a pitcher making his MLB debut. How lucky for them.

    Gordon to be evaluated for concussion after deflected liner strikes head
    Also, Manager Espada to be evaluated for concussion after leaving Gordon in the game after the liner.

    Espada is not the team physician that cleared him.

    He is the one who left him in another inning after he already gave up 4 runs and the Astros battled back to tie it.

    General rule is you dont let the best hitter on a team beat you. You accept the odds you laid out in your post.

    The odds he laid out support why you pitch to him there. Just can’t make a mistake there like he did after getting screwed by the ump on the previous pitch.

    I would hope so considering they regularly have concussions in the NFL…

    LOL at Brown throwing one right over the middle to their best hitter, right after he overswung on a high fastball. You knew he was fishing for a HR

    Is the 15 game winning streak when either Valdez or Brown takes the mound in jeopardy?

    Stay tuned.

    I've made my point quite clear regarding the matter.

    We obviously did not go over any specific plan to combat their only dangerous hitter.

    Yesterday should have been an intentional walk, it cost us the game.
