They're meant to be a lot less formal than other threads on the forum, so to moderate them the same way would be silly. However, we do ask posters to maintain a certain level of decorum in these threads, and we plan on moderating the Gameday threads a little more actively this season. In particular, we ask that posters refrain from being overly repetitive with their posts (if you've made your point, let it go), refrain from monopolizing the discussion (if you are making more than a couple posts in a row, you probably need to slow down a little bit), and of course, follow the Ground Rules ( link). The point is to make these threads worth participating in and fun for all posters, from our long-time fixtures to people just signing up today. -The Management

The Mariners on the season are slashing .218/.300/.368 with a 95 wRC+ as a team.
They also have the highest team strikeout rate (27.7%) in Major League history. Literally more than any team ever since 1871.
I would like to imagine our pitching can rebound a bit here, but Cal Raleigh also has a 1.077 OPS vs the Red Sox, so that’s probably not gonna be super fun

Their collective OPS is .070 higher on the road than in Seattle.

I'm thinking there's a good chance we get double-digit strikeout Pivetta tonight.

Weissert has been optioned down. Hopefully that guy can right himself.

Jen McCaffrey giving the update that the cavalry is coming back. Can't link Twitter at work. I'm sure asm18 will have the post out with the tweet before I even send this. How are you so fast?!
1. Casas at first tomorrow in Worcester. With Alex Cora saying he'll need more than a few games so hoping that's a week?
2. Martin throwing a bullpen Wed or Thurs then rehab
3. Slaten delayed because of sickness. Keep him away from Grissom.

I’d guess August 9th at home for the earliest Casas return

Obviously I want the Red Sox to completely shut down the Mariners, but it would be pretty cool if Justin Turner played tonight, maybe even got a hit, after playing and getting a hit for Toronto earlier in the day. Be a rare accomplishment, though not completely unprecedented.

Be a rare accomplishment, though not completely unprecedented. I remember another deadline incident that was interesting. The Twins had traded their catcher, Mark Salas, but the trade had not been officially announced. When he came to bat, Bobby Valentine, who was managing the Rangers, came out to protest his at-bat to the umpire claiming he had been traded. The umpire allowed Salas to continue playing. The trade was made official the next day. Edit: Looking back at Salas transaction page, it wasn't a deadline deal but was a June trade. www.baseball-almanac.com/box-scores/boxscore.php?boxid=198706060MIN |

Which is… something they’re allowed to do I guess For whatever it's worth (maybe little), in his 4 Worcester appearances: 6.0-4-1-1-2-11. Now, it's 4 games, and 3 of the hits and the 2 walks came in the one, 1 inning appearance in which he gave up the run, but still, it's interesting. |

What this team needs more than anything is a nic Pivetta hot streak. Its the way he goes. Hopefully tonight he has his A game.

needed a night off from the stress of watching our team. Picked a good one, it appears.
OK. let's right the boat and get sailing downwind. Important games. We can get it done.
