a home run off of Austin Adams on the first
pitch. It was Adams first appearance since
end of last September when he had to leave
of injury.
Adams wasn't expected to pitch until now
anyway so for him starting the season at
this point is OK.
Lewis on the other hand has hit at least
two home runs so far. We will see how
he does when intersquad games start
happening. He looks like he is in season
form so far.
I would say don't go overboard Lewis
we want to see you hit well during the
season. Lewis struck out in his first at
bat so I say he wanted to make up for it.
Jake Fraley was hit in the head on Tuesday
having to leave the game. He is going to be
Ok without a concussion.
Still looks to be Fraley, Mallex Smith and
Lewis in the outfield. Whether Fraley is
in right field or Lewis not sure right now.
They both can play either spot.
Fraley may play center field on occasion
depending on whether Braden Bishop
makes the 30-man roster coming out of
camp or not.
Bishop being hurt the last couple years
it has been hard for him to hit major
league pitching but he hopes it is over
now.
We do know he is the best defensive
center fielder the Mariners have so be
good for him to do some hitting when
he starts while at the same time coming
late into games.
Bishop is a right-handed hitter so he
may start in either Fraley or Smith's
spots against lefties on occasion. I am
sure the Mariners will have both in
against some lefties.
Tim Lopes on the other hand will
dh some against lefties at DH in
place of Daniel Vogelbach.
Until next time let you know you can
the Mariners on Youtube, Facebook,
Twitter or Twitch if you like seeing
the practices. Go M's.
