Mariners are playing some good ball. Don't think it's sustainable obviously but their pitching has been pretty lights out lately. The weather here has been absolute trash, the marine layers and cold might be helping them win some low scoring games. We'll see what happens when it warms up. I've been told it does have to eventually warm up. Maybe by July 4th .

Sounds like part of the problem is it's just too competitive and players have to throw hard all year round.

damn that was bad luck.

exactly, but he has no experience, so might as well take some lumps now.

he's fine, he just needs some refinement.

Gavin even looking smooth in the OF, well sell that pixie dust high.

and that was a meatball. jesus.

that was a fucking clinic, sit down buxton.

nasty changeup to start an ab.

literally all he had to do was look opposite way and he'd have maybe even scooted one through. It was obvious he was going to get a junk diet by the 2nd pitch.

he tried to strikeout but umps wouldn't let him.

lol what is he looking for?

nice inning, throwing strikes ahead in the count usually works.

jesus christ i'm in pain just looking at that. it's not even that warm, hands are prolly are stiff already.

you can tell schiffren has some pep in his step,lol, good for him tho.

and slugging...253! That's a .033 ISO! Wow! Big time powah! 18 hits. No HR. 3 doubles. Stunt on 'em Timmy!

Well in about 350 PA in the high minors he's only hit for like a 218 BA. The profile is still there otherwise, but I'd be fine just letting him get 400 more PA in AAA before calling him up in September.

We're actually better than the Marlins, lol.

DON'T PUT ANY OF THAT JR STINK ON THE BEAR!

Do we have to?

Anytime you can roster a DH that hits righty, has a trailer hitched to him, and has an OPS of 450 you do that.

Nobody spends more money on junk plastic deck chairs for the ole rusty half floating pontoon boat than the Sox.

This is a team of guys that rise to the occasion...of avoiding a 3-23 start.
