3.0 back Astros are now 6th worst in RA, 8th worst in differential, and sport the 9th worst record in MLB. Let the slow, un-suck begin.
Imai gets a quality start against a likely playoff bound team. Whoever signed Imai should get un-fired
Great game! So fun to see some emotion from Altuve and then come back with huge hits almost like just willing himself to do it . Great great chance to finally sweep here and start the surge to .500. Guardians look really weak without leader Ramirez, DeLauter and Martinez. Scoring so much without Yordan rbi great to see as was Imai start. Was praying we don't hit that 10 run curse and that we would have seen Abreu late with big lead so he would't be in play later in series in tight spot. I think we are about .500 against LH starters and taking Astros -1,5 with about 2.33 return on game 2. Just feels they can't lose this one....but ofcourse baseball is so random and Guardians are 40-36 and we usually suck after big wins .
@Uprising A's were down 11-4 in the bottom of the 6th, chipped away each inning (1-2-2-2 runs to tie it in the bot9) and walk it off in the 10th 12-11. AL best 21st comeback win for the A's. The condensed game worth a watch https://www.mlb.com/gameday/angels-vs-athletics/2026/06/19/824990/final/wrap
Mariners first deep playoff run ever and it must've taken a lot out of them. They clearly aren't built for October.
Pena has always been good but man he’s really turned into such a good all around player. Just not a ton of weaknesses to his game anymore. And such a weapon once he’s on base bc he’s so fast and runs so hard.
Fat Nick Kurtz drawing a walk to end it sounds about right. What an annoyingly good hitter that guy is.
Keep Meyers 9th enjoying Peña Protection. Loperfido is making better contact lately. I think he will be an average hitter (at worst) which is huge 7th-9th. Keep Matthews out of Daikin. Yainer needs a 90 OPS+, then pray for Yordan's health. Wade at 100 seems sufficient.
Spencer getting hit around on his fastball, they aren't fooled by it and it doesn't have the velocity to get it by guys
