opener on July 24 against the Astros
in Houston they will have an intersquad
game every day this week except Friday.
Taijuan Walker is expected to start
Monday's game. He is excited since
he is ready to go for the season.
The Mariners will have the players
who stay back on the taxi squad
playing four intersquad games a
week when the season begins down
in Tacoma.
This will be an important week for
the players to give to make the 30-man
roster beginning the season.
It looks like the Mariners will have
17 pitchers to begin with along with
13 position players.
As the seasons moves along with the
pitchers getting enough innings and
the rosters are shortened they will have
less pitchers on the roster.
The Mariners likely will stick with 13
position players all the way through even
when getting down to a 26 roster in a
month.
So they will have four reserve players
coming off the bench including backup
catcher Austin Nola.
