A couple of you have asked for a place to discuss real-life MLB events - here we go!
Quite a few Mariners fans here, myself included, so I expect them to be the topic more often than not! Anyone else think they missed the mark not being able to shore up an extra starting bat over the trade deadline? They have been the worst offense among contending teams all year, and although Jrod/Haniger/France are all back and healthy we're still getting everyday ABs out of Frazier and Winker...

The Mariners have fans? Just kidding. I’ve kind of liked them since the days of Jr., but I’m actually a Dodgers fan. Personally I think the Mariners gave up too much for Castillo. They should have been more patient. Their time is coming, but it’s not this year.

Jon what we have for Castillo was well we'll worth it. 2 highly rated prospects that are still barely above A ball for a guy who is proven and throws gas all game. The mariners will make the playoffs ut it probably won't be till next year that we win the world series. I think we need one more year for these real young guys to truly come together and have the experience to go all the way.

I’ve watched Castillo pretty closely for a few years since he’s been a Red. That’s our local team here. He’s a very hot and cold pitcher. He’s been hot so far in Seattle. Enjoy it, because when he’s cold you will be frustrated.

So, just out of curiosity who's picking who to win the world series this year! It's getting to the nitty gritty of the season. I'll say as a Mariner's fan I think we will get in but I just feel we are still a year away from a legit deep run and one more big power bat! So my pick is the Braves! Them and the Mets look filthy and the braves have been there and know what it takes.

I’m picking the Dodgers, of course. I definitely think it’s a national league year. The Mets and Braves are also very good, but the Dodgers don’t really have any weaknesses.

What do you guys think of the Michael Harris extension? Some risk for the team, but looking at Julio Rodriguez against Michael Harris, is Harris worth 1/4 the value of Rodriguez?
Also the early extension is looking good for teams with Acuna, Kepler, Polanco, Albies, Riley, Alvarez. Then you get guys like Evan White , Kingery or Jon Singleton and then guys like Tatis or Franco
Should teams do this for pitchers or is there too much risk?

I love the Harris extension. How does Atlanta get all these guys to sign below their market value? It's crazy.

Loaded with incentives and options both team and player. I like Harris and I really like how many guys the braves have together as a nucleus for quite a few years. I e always been a Mariner's fan but I am a closet braves fan and have been since the 90s. I still think they win it all this year and my Mariners take it next year.

All it took was wild card expansion and Big Dumper did the rest!

Congrats to the Mariners fans! Good luck in the wild card. The Twins have the streak of losing in the playoffs; hopefully the same fate will not be the same for the Mariners lol

We are over the moon right now lol. I have tickets to the 2nd home game of the divisional series. So we need to win the wildcard series and make it to 4 games in the ALDS and I'm going to an M's playoff game. Let's go!!!

Schneider seemed determine to make me eat my words bringing in Mayza just when Gausman was starting to get warm again.
I continue to live by my opinion that regardless of a lefty right matchup or whatever, a good pitcher is a good pitcher and a good hitter is a good hitter.

I'll take that..... considering I do feel a sence of pride when I see that . But those are west cost Canadians, which means I was even more impressed to see a surprising number of mariner's fans in Toronto for that series.
