9/24: Open game thread

It's time for another "Game thread used to catch you up on news" game thread. Here we go:

Nuno will start on Friday. Taijuan Walker won't pitch again this season

— Ryan Divish (@RyanDivish) September 24, 2015

Or, put another, far more painful way:

Taijuan Walker "most likely done"'for season. Would have started tomorrow if Mariners had won last night.

— Greg Johns (@GregJohnsMLB) September 24, 2015

So that's fun. How about the state of the bullpen?

Wilhelmsen not available tonight, Smith might be out too.

— Shannon Drayer (@shannondrayer) September 24, 2015

Well ok. I guess the only thing left to do then is to win tonight, clinch the series, claim Grass Creek, and then launch an earth-shattering offensive against the entire AL West, sans Texas. Next year, Rangers. Next year.

Win, ya somehow still lovable louts.
