Tuesday night with Logan Gilbert pitching
well against the Padres in San Diego
going Seven innings in a 4-1 win.
The trouble was Wednesday afternoon
the Padres looked like the Yankees and
Rangers beating the Mariners 10-3. I
thought and many Mariners fans to
with George Kirby on the mound they
could sweep the Padres in the two game
series but it wasn't meant to be.
Kirby lasted only three and two-thirds
innings giving up five runs on eleven
hits. The Mariners may have had a
chance however the bullpen didn't
do well either. Matt Brash who has
some outstanding stats at the same
time has struggled got two outs but
surrendered two runs on one hit and
walk. You wonder when the Mariners
will do something about him despite
having a pretty good slider.
The Mariners have another day off
on Thursday before facing the Angels
in Anaheim. It would be nice if they
could turn things around like they did
last year in Anaheim. We will see.
After last season finally making
it to the playoffs in so long it would
have been nice to have several players
participate in the all-star game in
Seattle. Julio looked like a good lock
but he hasn't played like an all-star
though doing better recently. Jarred
Kelenic looks like the best choice
instead. Until recently the starting
rotation look like someone emerge
from there but no one really looks
to be an all-star either. Paul Sewald
looks like the best choice to be an
all-star besides Kelenic. Ty France
looked another all-star selection
but he has been inconsistent. Oh
well dreams don't always happen.
Important thing is to turn around
the season. Adding another bat
would be nice. Go M's.
