I was totally supposed to do some MLB news yesterday and I spaced and forgot.
The Marlins dropped three straight to the Pirates to end their road trip 6-3. The Fish are off today, but starting tomorrow they take on the former World Series champs, the always challenging Phillies. If they do as well as they did against the Mets, I won’t worry, but if they pull a Pirates against these guys…this season could start getting dicey soon. Honestly, I’m not too concerned with the sweep at this point, it’s one of those math things where the team that’s just won so many straight can’t continue doing it. Hopefully the bats get swinging and the pitchers start dueling hard tomorrow.
The Rays snapped their losing streak last night against Seattle, thankfully, by getting those bats swinging again. Many an analyst was concerned about the slow start, but you’ve gotta remember that we’re really only 15 games in. A slow start helps no one, especially in the AL East, but, from what I’m seeing online, this is exactly how the Rays started off last year, record-wise, so breathe easily for now and save the concern for later.
Toronto and Seattle both lead their respective divisions, despite predictions to the contrary, but we’ll see how long that lasts. The season is officially speeding up and I’m getting more and more excited by the day!
