Bucky's X's and O's- the big story from last night has become tipping pitches. Andres Munoz was tipping his pitches and the Yankees were very obviously picking up on it and yes, it's legal.

There's an issue with the team in rain delays, and it wasn't good for Logan Gilbert - but it's not his fault. That's not who Gilbert is, considering his body of work. There's a trend with regression with rookies in our market. Kenneth Walker III, Matty Beniers and Julio are all in that category.

Julio Rodriguez was voted into the Allstar game by his peers, so why are people in Seattle so mad about it? If fans in other markets were upset he took a spot from one of their favorite players, that makes sense, but who gets mad one of their own players is on the team?

We're back after a long weekend and ready to talk baseball! The Mariners swept the Pirates in 3 shutout games.
