have trouble hitting against lefties.
Also Luis Castillo still trouble
pitching as well.
Final White Sox 6 Mariners 1
Luis Castillo gave up a two run homer
in the first inning and another in the
third inning. He lasted only four innings.
The only run was when Mitch Garver
walked then came home on a Refsynder
sacrifice fly. Though he isn't hitting
well in limited action he continues
to be willing to walk. We do hope
Refsynder starts to hit soon too. He
is playing sparingly as well however
as a veteran he should be used to it.
Leo Rivas was back at third base.
I expect right now the Mariners
are trying to use him against
righties. We hope he is able
to play more often soon.
My thinking is the Mariners need
to pick up another right handed
back.
Bryce Miller is expected to start
on Wednesday. There looks like
the two might piggy back on
each other though not the first
round this coming week. Whether
Castillo will start and Bryce come
in after a few innings or possibly
the other way around. We will
find out. How it affects the other
starters we will see too.
The minor leaguers are pitching
once a week at this time. So
this could be normal in the future.
I like the old days when there were
four starters. The Mariners though
have had five solid starters so for
this team makes sense.
For minor leaguers they look so
injuries won't happen as often.
This is especially true for pitchers
who pitched in college where they
throw a lot of innings.
The Mariners will go to seven
relievers for the meantime. Not
sure however one will be sent
down to the minors if they have
options to do so.
Go M's.
