The old scouts talk about "The good face", where you can look into a kid's face and see that he's a baller (it doesn't show up as data on a metrics report). I see it. For me, he's Griffey without the entitlement and immaturity. Not saying he's Griffey, or that Griffey was "bad", don't twist, but I love watching him play the game...he plays with so much joy (Suarez too), every game, win or lose. It is genuine, and it is refreshing to watch, speaking as as a salty old red ass.
The lights are getting brighter, and he's not shrinking away from it...It is so rare that a kid that age can have that kind of impact on a MLB club...not the performance, but the impact in the dugout and clubhouse, from what I'm hearing. Rookies were (and more than likely still are) told to sit down and shut up, listen, watch, seen but not heard. Dip has done a great job of collecting a bunch of good make-up guys that can actually play...
That series was everything I hoped for. Harris is a beast.
Fucking Braves are good. I don't care if they're behind in their division theyre still on the Dodgers and Astros level. That was a good and hugely valuable series win.

Heard a stat on the radio yesterday - the Mariners are one of only 7 teams with above .500 records against teams over .500. That includes the Dodgers, Astros, Mets and I forget who else. I didn't realize it was so exclusive.

My guess is Yankees, Cardinals, and Rays. Iirc Braves record against over 500 teams isn’t very good
Ms have 4 top of rotation starters inked through 2026. I'm just going ro bask in the glow of that and stop paying attention until the playoffs are settled. If the Ms choke it away I'll seamlessly transition into mooging for next year, which promises to be special.
It's lining up pretty well really. Ms offense is streaky as fuck, and they just stumbled through one of the downturns. I like where they are now...on the rise again i think.

If the front office is serious they could legitimately have a great team next year with some of the right moves.

For sure. The starting pitching is elite. The offense needs more consistency. I'm not sure how to get it. Some tough decisions have to be made.

I get that home games are nice. Toronto and especially Tampa are way tougher matchups than Cleveland.
Doubt anyone would disagree that #2 is the worst of both worlds.
