The bullpen and starting rotation are all garbage.
2027 needs new leadership on all fronts.

When everyone sucks you can’t blame the players.

If I was a pitcher, supposedly good, no matter how much pride and strong competitive drive I have, the life would be totally sucked out of me by this putrid, non-caring and lack of skill the offense shows on a daily basis.

I'm sure, last night, Hancock, Kirby, Gilbert and Miller got together and lit candles hoping to be the ones traded.
They excluded Castillo because, well, his nickname is The Rock, which offends me,
because Rocky Colavito was and always will be, THE ROCK.

Thanks for supporting me and Rocky.
Rocky Colavito is a Hall of Famer in my book!

I was thinking about the post game fireworks show last night. Night. What % of fans would rather see the M's win and the show get cancelled vs M's lose and the fireworks show happens???

Posted this on the game thread, but will probably get more discussion on it here (copied/pasted):

Terry's quip about the record at Home made me wonder if there are other teams whose pitching does well at Home and bad Away.

So, the teams with the Top 10 ERA's at Home (and their Away ERA and where that Ranks their team in MLB )

1) MIL, 3.11 ERA at Home (3.87, 5th)
2) SEA, 3.18 (4.32, 17th)
3) DET, 3.29 (4.01, 8th)
4) CHW, 3.30 (4.82, 25th)
5) MIA, 3.44 ( 4.73, 22nd)
6) TBR, 3.55 (3.87, 6th)
7) ATL, 3.62 (3.76, 4th)
8) NYY, 3.67 (3.00, 1st)
9) CLE, 3.68 (3.91, 7th)
10) SDP, 3.70 (4.66, 20th)

What stands out to me is that the NYY, MIL, DET, TBR, ATL, CLE are obviously the better pitching staffs.

And the teams like SEA, CHW, MIA, and SDP just have advantageous home ballparks that make pitching staffs look good (at home), but aren't.
