    If anyone was wondering why they're in a funk right now, I'm probably to blame. I got a Fubo sub so I could watch the rest of the season on Root. They tend to struggle when I watch.

    Sorry everyone. TSIO.

    I can’t remember the last tim I watched the 9th inning when they had a lead…drives the wife crazy

    Edit: better her than me…

    Fucking Fubo froze up with two outs and the guy on second. I actually felt thankful as Munoz is going to give me a stroke one of these days. Gave it a few minutes and then checked Google and the game was over. What a relief.

    Definitely been there…it sucks, but it’s more reliable than cable and cheaper than satellite in my neck of the woods…

    It's not going to be reliable until I cough up for star link or whatever it's called now. Fucking CenturyLink.

    Yep. It was a house of cards. I didn't want to but pretty much felt that way through all of August.

    Maybe I started to believe a little. I'm a moog.

    They are a better club than last year, IMO. They lost 350(+ -) innings of MLB starting pitching with Ray and Marco, and Handcack and the other guy who threw 6 no-hit innings in his first and only start, IIRC, ending with Miller / Woo, who while good are in uncharted territory innings-wise. It crushed a very good bullpen.

    I think with the way arms are getting chewed up and spit out, you've gotta damn near have 6-8 MLB ready guys in 3/2A at the outset of every season, for insurance. The guys they brought up got no soft landing, for sure.

    I just did a little research...the M's have 5 pitchers on the DL...The Dodgers have 14 (and one wife/girlfriend/mistress/escort / rando-pick-up beater off the roster). The difference is the Dodgers have enough offense (Cap'n Obvious) to cover it. Their young guys are good (as are ours), but they don't have the need to go 5-6-7 shut out innings every turn like the M's guys do.

    They have established the rep as a pitching factory, which will help with free agency going forward, and should continue to uncover bullpen arms. They have a solid to good core, pitching and hitting, now they have to build it out.
