Dude's on fire early on.

Every time I think of giving Dipoto praise for this signing, Solano plays and reminds me about the blind squirrel getting a nut every once in a while.

Munoz is just filthy when he's dialed in

 

[NWinAZ]

[NWinAZ]

He's still perfect at .000 ERA

So true and that's the maddening part is why can't he be consistent hitting on players.

I was really ready to go to the games got away thread but Munoz saves the day again. Dude is nuclear right now.

Polanco with 3 hits

Does not even remotely look like the same baseball player as last season

 

[PolarVortex]

Looks like he got it

I’m not really sure what’s behind this offensive explosion as of late, but boy it sure does make for some enjoyable baseball

Amateur observation here, but, in my opinion, with the team clearly being more selective at the plate this year, opposing pitchers are starting to put pitches closer to the strike zone, giving the Mariner hitters better pitches to hit. Some hitters are capitalizing, some aren't.

Trent Thornton is having a Dr Jekyl/Mr Hyde type season. He already has 5 holds. He only had 10 all of last year. But he has also already been tagged for 4 homeruns. He only gave up 8 all of last year.

There it is. Yet another home run surrendered by Thornton. I don't think this is his year.

With the injuries to the rotation and the ineffectiveness of certain relievers we were counting on back in February, this season's pitching staff is going to be a work in progress. Let's just hope they don't kill the arms of Woo, Munoz, and Speier as they navigate through this season.

Thornton should be in the Casey Lawrence role once Brash comes back.

 

[MarinersBestFan]

Fingers crossed

We need him back in the rotation as soon as possible
