    This has been such a roller coaster ride but man there was no fire this weekend, and let's be honest, the Mariners are just the better team, I tip my cap to them. At this point, it will be cool if we can get in but the were playing, we will get bounced..............this sucks, 2 thing this off season, what will they do with Framber and was the Cam Smith experiment worth it? He had some flashes, but he sure hit a wall

    If not Kurtz, then Langeliers.
    If not Jo Addell, then Oswald Peraza.

    At least Trout and Judge have failed against us consistently...

    Losing the 2 - 1st Round Picks, 2 - 2nd Round Picks due to Cheating Scandal, Rob Manfred got his revenge.

    Astros haven't recovered, literally in injuries and lack of Talent.

    Christian Walker for a Draft Pick will hurt later on.

    4 Players that could be Star or Solid Players would be on this team right now.

    They also just weren’t able to add star talent picking later in the draft. They went from adding Springer, Correa, Bregman, McCullers, and Tucker over the course of 5 drafts to…Whitley, Bukauskas, Beer, and Lee. And they compounded the sign stealing penalty by signing Hader and Walker which cost them 2 additional 2nd round picks.

    All that said, if Alvarez is healthy all season, they’re almost certainly still in 1st place in the division and they almost certainly don’t get swept by Seattle last weekend.
