game on Friday night but he is getting
ready for opening night and that is
what counts.
Marco gave up five runs in the second
inning. It included a three-run homer.
He left the game for throwing more
than twenty pitches then returned in
the third inning under the rules of
spring training.
The Mariners were able to comeback
after being behind 5-1 to win 7-6.
Not sure it will happen very often
during the regular season however
it would be nice.
The bullpen did a fine job giving up
only one run in four and 1/3 innings.
We are hoping with several new
pitchers added to the bullpen it will
be good enough to add more victories
during the 2021 season.
We know over the last few seasons
the bullpen has not helped out a
whole lot for sure. It will be important
the starters go deep enough to keep
the bullpen rested. Going at least
six innings for the rotation let it
be that way. Having a six-man
rotation should keep the starters
fresh as well.
Mariners had four players having
two hits in the game in Mitch Haniger,
Kyle Seager, Kyle Lewis and Jarred
Kelenic. Haniger had a triple while
Kelenic had a double and Lewis a
home run. Kelenic ran the bases as
though his injury isn't affecting his
running the bases too much. Kelenic
played in center field while Lewis
was at dh for the game.
Outside Kelenic the Mariners had
most of there starting players in the
lineup. The question is well Kelenic
start the season in Seattle or not.
We still have almost two weeks
for the answer. Go M's.
In other sport news there was talk
Chris Carson would go to the Miami
Dolphins however he actually signed
back up with the Seahawks on a two-
year deal so it looks like he will still
be the primary running back.
