first spring training game happens. Not sure
who will start however I expect it will be
Marco Gonzales the opening game starter
for the regular season.
The Mariners will be taking on the San
Diego Padres who are expected to contend
for the National League West division.
Usually the Mariners and Padres begin
spring training against each other. It
helps they share the same facilities or
at least the same park.
Many of the starting position players
will be starting the game, however.
they will probably play three innings
before substitutions in. I am sure we
will see top prospects Jarred Kelenic,
Julio Rodrigues and Logan Gilbert
in the game.
News around pitcher Justin Dunn
reported in good shape while being
on a new diet. He is taking it serious
to be in the starting rotation. He has
looked good in the bullpen as well.
He could be in the game today as
well.
The Mariners won't have a game on
Monday, however, they will have a
spring training game everyday after
that until March 28 which is just
before the season begins.
The Mariners season will begin on
April 1 against the San Francisco
Giants at home in T-Mobile Park.
The series will be three games
after a day off on Sunday which
sounds strange to me the Mariners
will have a three game series against
the Chicago White Sox before going
on the road.
The Mariners will not play a division
rival until they play the Houston Astros
in Seattle beginning their second home
stand It will be a three game series. At
the end of month the Mariners and Astros
will play four games in Houston while
finishing the month off by playing the
Los Angeles Angels. It is a three-game
series ending on May 2.
The Mariners will not play the Texas
Rangers until early May and the Oakland
as for the first late in May. At that point
we will know where everyone in the
division is at. The Mariners will have
played 47 games before facing the Oakland
A's for the first time. The Mariners don't
take on the New York Yankees just before
the all-star game in July. Unusual they
take on the Angels at home in the last
series before the all-star game and then
on the road in the first series after.
It will be interesting to see when the
Mariners will be able to see fans at
T-Mobile Park. With covid going down
and we hope the vaccine in place it
will be sooner than later. Could have
a small crowd on opening night. Go M's.
