It really is quite unfair the AL Central gets to play this rec league team masquerading as an MLB squad 30 million times a year.
Good morning everyone! The season is winding down, and we’ve got the news you need to get your week started.
In Mariners news…
- Somehow, I didn’t realize this until they mentioned it on the broadcast yesterday.
The @Mariners have been hit by more pitches than any team in @MLB‘s Modern Era with 113 HBP this season. https://t.co/eLVFN3DIdF

- Luis Castillo is not expected to start in the series against the Astros, but could return to face Oakland before the end of the season.
Around the league…
- The White Sox have lost their 120th game, tied for the most since 1900. They seem likely to stand alone by the time the season concludes.
- The Reds have parted ways with manager David Bell, who recently signed a contract extension with the club.
- Yordan Álvarez exited yesterday’s game due to a knee contusion, imperiling his odds of playing against the Mariners this week.
- With about a week to go in the regular season, the MLB.com crew broke down the playoff scenarios still in play.
- The Cardinals are losing the interest of their fans, it seems.
2,869,783 is the official 2024 season attendance for the #STLCards
Since the park opened in 2006, Busch Stadium III’s drew at least 3 million fans each season. That 18-season long streak is over.

- There’s nothing better than cranking one of these babies as low as it goes right before you go to sleep.
