An atrocious road trip is finally over-Astros have sliced the division lead from 10 down to 4.5 -Mariners have shown that the offense can't be trusted-despite all of that, still in the division lead - so a trade deadline opportunity that you haven't had in awhile -Julio absolutely has to pick it up // bullpen has suddenly become very shaky and thin -debating whether the Mariners will still be in first by the trade deadline // Take Two: -Luke Raley scratched with sore shoulder -Astros win their 7th straight, Dallas Keuchel gives up five runs in start v. Rangers // Castillo has not lived up to "ace" level billing -Gilbert has been the best and most consistent pitcher in the Mariners rotation -Kirby has elevated his pitching over his last six starts too-re-evaluating our 1-5 in the rotation right now // What's Bugging Bob???-Wyman: that I made him mention his thumb injury - a study about Seattle drivers on average being stuck in traffic for 58 hours last year
