They're 6 games back. If we just play .500 baseball do you realize how long it's going to take them to get to 13 games over .500? I doubt they even get there. If we don't fall off a cliff it's going to be difficult for them to catch us.

Just noticed that the Angels have almost caught Oakland. The race is closer in the West than in the Central.

While I do not believe Seattle will catch either team, their recent dominance suggests that the West could be in complete chaos for the rest of the season.

I would support letting someone else get the odd save every once in a while. Maybe tomorrow if we're leading after 7, go Frasor/Davis or Herrera/Davis.

Oakland had an August swoon last year too. I imagine they'll pick it back up but it seems they always tank for a few weeks every season about this time of year.

The Royals being good has set off some cataclysmic events

As much as we have tied up in Infante, let's thank the stars we didn't ink Nolasco to a 4/52 deal in the offseason.
More and more it looks like we may have made off with an absolute steal with Vargas. |

I lived in the Seattle market for a few years and Vargas is definitely an above average starting pitcher and has been for sometime. He got lost up there on some bad teams. And he doesn't do anything really well but he does everything good. He'll never been an all-star but he doesn't have to be. He's the perfect type of pitcher for the K. I liked the signing because even crappy starting pitching doesn't seem to be cheap. You will pay for pitching and he's been ever better than I imagined.

I just wish Yost would use Colon more to give Infante and Escobar some day offs. Colon is a great utility INF with a respectable bat, at least statistically speaking.
