Seattle Mariners Lose More Than A Game

Tuesday night was a rough night for the
Seattle Mariners not only losing to the
Chicago White Sox 10-4 but lost James
Paxton in the second inning with one out
with left arm strain. In the fifth inning
diving for a ball Jake Fraley came up
with a hamstring pull.

Both Paxton and Fraley will have MRI's

Wednesday before the afternoon game

to finish the series off. Hopefully the 

Mariners will be able to win the game

so they can go in a positive note into

Minnesota.

Paxton looked like he was going to have

a good game starting out but the injury

bug came his way again. Hard to know

how long he will be out but likely longer

than Fraley's. We hope Paxton won't

have to need surgery but we should 

find out by game time. I will up date

you when I find out.

Who will the Mariners recall to replace

both players. Most likely a reliever for

Paxton as Nick Margevicius went into 

the game for him in relief will take his

spot in the rotation at this time. 

Margevicius didn't pitch well going 

three and two-third innings giving

up four runs on four hits. He gave 

up two home runs with a runner on

base in each case. I am tired of the

Mariners pitchers giving up home 

runs. Many of their runs scored 

are coming from the long ball.

The coaching needs to change.

Yes I know teams are hitting more

home runs these days because 

that is what batters are looking

for but still no excuse.

Braden Bishop will be the likely

one to take Fraley's spot on the

roster as he is on the 40-man 

roster and on the alternate 

training site. 

Yes it would be nice to see 

Jarred Kelenic however he is 

at the spring training site and

 needs more reps at this point.

We could see him soon though

if the offense continues to spuder.

Is spuder a word I am using it

anyway. 

Right now things not looking 

good for the Mariners. Not only

do they need some offense help

the starting pitching certainly

took a blow with Paxton out

for some time it looks like.

We do hope he is able to 

return this season but we

should know Wednesday.

We hope for the best not

only for the Mariners but

for Paxton too.

Justin Dunn goes for the

Mariners in Wednesday's 

game. Right now is spot

in the rotation looks safe.

Go M's.
