The Seattle Mariners lost again on Saturday 9-2 against the
Angels in Anaheim. Not a great start after the all-star break. At least they scored
two runs and had six hits.
Wade LeBlanc started Saturday night’s game after going seven
games where he came in for the opener. The Mariners should look to begin with
the opener once again since LeBlanc does better when they use one. He gave up
10 hits, six runs going four innings.
The bullpen did a good job outside of David McKay who gave up
a three-run homer to Albert Pujols. Earlier Kole Calhoun and Mike Trout had
home runs off of LeBlanc. Almost every series the Mariners play against the
Angels all three of them get at least one home run. Mike Trout homered two
games in a row. By this point, the Mariners should know not to pitch to those
three. They feast of Mariner pitching.
Yusei Kikuchi goes Sunday afternoon for the Mariners. We hope
he is able to pitch well enough for the Mariners to win and not get swept.
Also, it would be nice not to give up a home run to Trout.
I am sure everyone is looking for when Dipoto pulls a trigger
on a trade. The trading deadline is in 17 days. I expect at least one trade if
not more. The big three being traded would be Mike Leake, Tim Beckham, and Dee
Gordon. They could trade Roenis Elias who might have his highest value right
now. So trader Jerry pull your magic wand. Go M’s.
