Mariners Lose Opener In Big Apple

The Seattle Mariners had opportunities to win
 the opener in the series against the 
Mets but couldn't score more than one
run which was a homer by JP Crawford
in the fourth inning. 

Final Mets 2 Mariners 1

Takeaways had enough hits with seven 
however at the wrong times.

Caballero was picked off in the 9th
inning running for Cal Raleigh who
walked. A no no for sure. Sam Haggerty
and Dylan Moore both on.the bench.
Why didn't they go with them. More 
experience and could have saved Caballero.


Like has happened over the years including 
this year the starter pitches fantastic
but no run support. Gilbert gave up a run
in the sixth inning. A home run for that matter 
to.tie. Gilbert had nine strike outs.
Gilbert should be considered for Cy Young
as much as Luis Castillo and George Kirby.
Castillo starts Saturday followed by Kirby
on Sunday. Still hope to take two out of three.

OK to lose this game as long as they win
at least 16 in September though winning
one would been a good start.

How do you like  these takeaways?
I think I will continue this way.

We will look at the minor leaguers coming
up this month. See how the top prospects.
I saw Harry Ford had a good August.  Let 
you know how he did. See him in double A
next year it looks like. May make his debut
sometime next year. Certainly should be
in Seattle in 2025. 

Until next time go M's
