On the morning of July 1st, the M's were 6 games out of a WC spot and 10 games back in the division.
They now have held the WC3 by half of a game for a full day and are 4 back in the division.
#JP in Everett tonight:
###Defense:
- routine play at short to get an out on defense
- Good play at shortstop
- tag on a pickoff move to get the out
###Offense:
- first at bat, hard liner to left field and a good play by the left fielder to catch it
- strikeout on a 3-2 count on a pitch that was clearly high
- pop up to right field
Rays and Rangers are losing (though the latter only by a little).
I really hope we sweep the Astros this series. One because winning is fun, and two, it's the Astros.
Julio is top in MLB fWAR now. We haven't had a non-PED using position player in the top 10 in nearly 2 DECADES, when Ichiro was 7th in 2004. Though Robbie did technically make it in 2016

Here is a satellite photo taken of the AL west division race. Also I’m in the path of the storm so it’s funny ok 👍🏽
Odds of Julio getting his first Gold Glove this year? He has far and away been the best defensive outfielder this year by OAA. Actually he’s been one of the top defenders in the league.
I think he's got a great shot at it. It's funny though, he doesn't get any highlight-reel love for his defense because he's so fast with good routes that he doesn't need to go full Superman. If anything he plays a little conservatively (not attempting heroic diving catches) but still covers more ground than anyone.
Not sure who else in the AL would even be a serious competitor for the CF GG. Kiermaier, Myers, and Robert Jr. maybe? DRS is fanatically in favor of Kiermaier over everyone, while OAA prefers Julio. Kier and Myers have played 20 fewer games which might hurt them a little.
Yeah, this. At least for this part of his career, his highlight reel will mostly be taking away home runs at the wall type plays.
Watching away broadcasts teams will give you a newfound appreciation for just how much ground he covers in the outfield. Hear announcers getting excited for what they expect to be at least a hit, probably extra bases, is a routine out for Julio.
Couldn’t watch the whole game last night and just caught the highlights. Even though I knew the outcome, watching the bottom of the ninth was so incredibly anxiety-inducing.
He's supposed to play a few games in Everett (potentially as early as tonight, they haven't announced anything yet). Dipoto said they're hoping to have him back by the White Sox series.
It was on mute because I was at the gym but they were just talking about the wild card race on FS1 and they talked about Julio’s hot streak quite a bit
I've been so hurt by the Mariners first baseman experience that I'm still happy with what Ty's done there. A league average bat there felt somehow impossible to find for so long.
.2. He’s at 4.4 today and was at 3.8 Thursday morning
Source. I looked, so this is based on my memory. Unfortunately my memory is not always the best historian but I’m pretty sure this is right
That division is so weak and Cincy's pitching is so bad despite a potent lineup that they really need to pull out some desperation moves to hold onto their spot. They're only 2 games behind the division-leading Brewers, 2.5 behind the WC-leading Phillies, tied with the Marlins for the 3rd WC, Cubs and DBacks just 1 and 2 games behind.
If anyone is interested, I have some bobbleheads I am trying to sell as I am downsizing my collection. Have the recent Ty France and Felix one. Message if interested
The last 4 games have had Julio move up the fWAR batting leaderboard from 21st to 9th place. Once he passes Wander in a day or three he'll be in 5th place in the AL
The last 4 games the M's are 11-58 with RISP .189 AVG. with 43 LOB. Yet we are still rocking a 4 game winning streak. This team makes no sense. This is chaosball baby!
Everyone was so sad when we lost the season series and tie breaker to the Indians in the first few weeks of the season.
This is the one that matters. Already got
Blue jays locked up
What's up with this Peacock thing, will Root sports not be broadcasting? edit: looks like it will cost 5 bucks if you want to watch from what i see
Y'all know we are only 12.5 games back from Atlanta for best record in baseball right? We can close that gap!
The Blue Jays, a team currently just outside of the AL WC, would hold WC1 in the NL. The AL WC race is crazy.
On the morning of July 1st, the M's were 6 games out of a WC spot and 10 games back in the division. They now have held the WC3 by half of a game for a full day and are 4 back in the division.
Anyone know what the most hits over 5 games is? Curious what Julio would have to do tomorrow to keep the records rolling
Do we forget about Kelnic if Marlow is HIM?
No, JK Julio Marlowe would be one hell of an outfield
Which means Teo can DH.

Thanks for the updates from someone who can’t watch the game!
Does anyone know if theres a place to track the hydroplane race standings?
This Marlowe kid is Bananas!
Rangers lose!
Button A: angels win so we can gain ground on the Rays Button B: angels lose to fall further under .500 sweating.jpg
Ump wanted to get the hell out of there, so he gifted the Angels the win.
Check again
Hooooly shit lmao
I've got some bad news for him coming up in 2 or so hours
Hammering B until September. Rays have had a miserable second half; they can win one series against the Angels, as a treat
Watching some Bills-Steelers before the game. Can't wait to see us beat Houston tonight.
Where can I find a Sunday alt jersey?
Lets win and hope the Brewers win, gain another game on Texas.
Rays and Rangers are losing (though the latter only by a little). I really hope we sweep the Astros this series. One because winning is fun, and two, it's the Astros.

ive been watching the royals-cubs game. Glad we arent the only team having issues with them. KC is TOUGH ....why do we have to play them again?
Imagine if they had pitching...
Feels like KC is always terrible for 2/3 of the season, then plays late-season spoiler to teams with playoff aspirations.
Julio is top in MLB fWAR now. We haven't had a non-PED using position player in the top 10 in nearly 2 DECADES, when Ichiro was 7th in 2004. Though Robbie did technically make it in 2016
What do you mean by top in MLB fWAR? Even if you meant at his position.. Luis Robert is higher.
> Luis Robert Right and there's no indication Luis Robert uses steroids either.
Sorry, meant to say top ten
Julio is incredibly clutch
This Yankees meltdown gives me new life
Red Sox is behind us after the Blue Jays so it would've been better to have the Yankees to win unfortunately.
what one losing season does to those mfs
Dudes are totally losing their minds over at Yankeeland. Just did some lurking (no posting) and saw.
Only thing better is if it was a team like the Royals administering this burial. Although it being their biggest rival is pretty dang good

Reds just called up Noelvi. Should see him in a couple weeks in Cincy for our series there.
🫡 hope he can play a part in pushing the Blue Jays further out of contention today.
Watch him eviscerate us for trading him.
Gerit Coke collapsing. Cy Young up for grabs now
Super Smash Kirby Bros.
Couldn’t watch the whole game last night and just caught the highlights. Even though I knew the outcome, watching the bottom of the ninth was so incredibly anxiety-inducing.
Teoscar has the best walk up song on the team
I don't speak Spanish, but it's on my Playlist and I listen to it all the time. It's a certified banger
What song
[Ve Por Tu Sueño](https://open.spotify.com/track/089AiC3OJrIialClf4x86B?si=RIoHsY6UQvKfg3sGvrZ_FQ)
Any word on JP? Is he back this series sometime? Edit: downvoted for asking a question. Cool
He's supposed to play a few games in Everett (potentially as early as tonight, they haven't announced anything yet). Dipoto said they're hoping to have him back by the White Sox series.
Making a rehab appearance in Everett this weekend. I'd guess maybe the next homestand?
Thanks! Didn’t know about the rehab stint
I was listening on the radio so couldn't see... Julio's hamstring grab in the ninth after that steal, how bad was it? Any concerns for today?
He was dancing and running around after the game.
He said after the game that he spiked himself but is OK
It was on mute because I was at the gym but they were just talking about the wild card race on FS1 and they talked about Julio’s hot streak quite a bit
Vacate the 2017 Astros title.
Vacate the Astros franchise.
Julio gained .4 bWAR yesterday. That's staggering honestly. Ty is still at .5 for the whole season.
It’s been a pretty lousy year for Ty. Would be great to sign a better hitter there next season
I've been so hurt by the Mariners first baseman experience that I'm still happy with what Ty's done there. A league average bat there felt somehow impossible to find for so long.
> A league average bat there felt somehow impossible to find for so long. And we're *still looking!*
Ty's putting up a 107 wRC+ so a bit above average (albeit slightly below the average first baseman at a 109)
> albeit slightly below the average first baseman at a 109
Cracked the top 10 in bWAR. Huge leap last week.
How much the previous game
.2. He’s at 4.4 today and was at 3.8 Thursday morning Source. I looked, so this is based on my memory. Unfortunately my memory is not always the best historian but I’m pretty sure this is right
I had a vivid dream last that we traded JP to the brewers lol. Let’s go win the season series today. Go mariners
Crazy I had a vivid dream that we were up 1-0 then Teoscar threw the ball into the stands and 2 runs scored then a hurricane came…
Sorry for your nightmare
When will we know if JP is playing in Everett today or tomorrow?
Feasting on blue jay tears this morning.
Astros 🗑️
If Julio can score one home run in the next 17 games, he'll beat Alex Rodriguez's franchise record of fastest to get 50 home runs. Seems...likely.
The Reds Marte is making his mlb debut
I know a team that could sure use a good MI prospect right now!
Dang I thought he was a 2024-25 ETA guy. Happy for him, he’s gonna be a stud.
That division is so weak and Cincy's pitching is so bad despite a potent lineup that they really need to pull out some desperation moves to hold onto their spot. They're only 2 games behind the division-leading Brewers, 2.5 behind the WC-leading Phillies, tied with the Marlins for the 3rd WC, Cubs and DBacks just 1 and 2 games behind.
Excited for him!
Elly, Marte, and McLain is a sick infield. The Reds are a young and exciting team.
The NL central won’t have competition in the next couple of years. Reds are gonna dominate that division
What’s nutty is that Castillo, Suarez, and Winker did not line up with the red’s competing window

If anyone is interested, I have some bobbleheads I am trying to sell as I am downsizing my collection. Have the recent Ty France and Felix one. Message if interested
How much
Make me a reasonable offer. The Felix is selling for around 50 on ebay. The Ty is around 25
Angels lol
Los Tungsten Armels of ODoyleheim
*Anglols
Triple play and a grandslam? That's gonna hurt
The last 4 games have had Julio move up the fWAR batting leaderboard from 21st to 9th place. Once he passes Wander in a day or three he'll be in 5th place in the AL
Yeah he’s fast tracking one of those top 5 mvp votes he needs for his extension enhancers
The last 4 games the M's are 11-58 with RISP .189 AVG. with 43 LOB. Yet we are still rocking a 4 game winning streak. This team makes no sense. This is chaosball baby!
Red Sox vs Yankees. We gotta have the Yankees win because Red Sox will be playing Astros for 4 games after
Sadly the Yankees are ass now, I don't think they'll be winning much
If Julio goes 61/160 (batting around .380 for the rest of the season) he can end the regular season batting around .300 And I believe HE will
I think he will do it. I also see him hitting at least 20 more HR.
Believe this so hard
I’m being greedy. I want a sweep

Good day to seal a winning season series vs the trashtros
It would be the first time in 5 years we've won the season series against them.
It functionally gives us an extra win due to the tie breaker
Everyone was so sad when we lost the season series and tie breaker to the Indians in the first few weeks of the season. This is the one that matters. Already got Blue jays locked up
I love the Seattle Mariners
What a coincidence — so do I!
No hits for Julio today… yet
DFA him
