Richardson's last 2 starts have both been against the White Sox.

In those 2 starts, he gave up 14 hits in 8.2 innings pitched, but the Sox only scored 3 earned runs off those 14 hits.

Wonder how he'll fare against our lineup.

5 strikeouts in 2 innings lol.

5 strikeouts in 2 innings lol.

I came here to post that exact same stat

This ball club is so strikeout prone. It’s amazing We’re even .500 much less above 500.

Thank God for a pitching staff is all I can say

Everyone knows Julio is struggling, but it appears that the League and all the pitchers have figured out that you don’t have to throw him strikes to get him out. so continuing to pound him inside where he can’t barrel anything up and put him away, striking him out down and away off the plate and he can’t lay off of those

Here is his at bat halfway through the game tonight with Minnesota

Should have been a base on balls, but he has no discipline to lay off of pitches off the plate and ended up recording an out

Castillo has given up just 1 hit, one BB, and 1 run through 6 and is still sitting on a loss as of now. Really unbelievable.

Kirby went in for an MRI on the knee yesterday. Results must've been good because he's been cleared to start on Wed.

I read they won't disclose what's wrong with it. They will only say it is something they will have to manage as the year goes on.

Yeah, Servais said that the other day before Kirby got the MRI yesterday.

Bases juiced with no outs.

Feels like I've seen this movie before. Didn't end well.

The Mariners are still the only team in the Majors that has yet to allow an opposing starting pitcher to complete 7.0 innings this season after Woods Richardson exits w/ 6 and the Mariners have runners on the corners here in the 7th

Bags packed nobody out Ty France strikes out.

Big surprise

At least he didn’t hit into one of his made to order double plays

 

[WizardHawk]

At least they got 1. Haven't done that well most of their opportunities this year.

 

[NWinAZ]

Can't bat. Can't defend. France is consistent.

 

[WizardHawk]

 

[NWinAZ]

What does Blowers always say? MLB hitters get one good pitch to hit per Ab and what they do or don't do with it changes the result. France missed a ball right down the middle. Garver takes the pitch right down the middle. Raley fouls the pitch right down the middle. All three resulted in outs with one being a SF.

We tied it up for a whole 10 minutes.
