Nice rise from the depths of hell for KK today.
His velocity still scares me.
I don't quite understand how a guy can be 89-96 throwing the same pitch. He's been in the 89-92 range for a while now... not a good sign.
There was a story about SS being frustrated with him not making adjustments from mechanics that caused the loss of velo.
Maybe holding guys accountable works.

Mariners win! We're HEROES!!!
I just turned on the game and was shocked. My guess would have been "Oh, Kikuchi must have held the fort for five or six innings" but a two-hit shutout. Well done.

Lopes with a .766 OPS and a .286 BA. That is easily good enough for 2B. I hope they give him and Shed a fair fight for the 2B job.

A few people want a higher draft pick, but I think seeing success from guys like Kikuchi is much more important. Great start from kikuchi

Good day for the offense other than Santana and Moore.
Broxton. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes. Once Felix is gone, I vote for a new king, King Murphy.
Broxton should get Dfa when Haniger comes back.
Not soon enough. Just think, we could have had Keon AND Mac Williamson out there together.

King Kikuchi has a nice ring to it.

It's pretty simple. The difference between a good Kikuchi and a bad Kikuchi is far greater than the difference between the number 5 pick in the number 6 pick

Shutting down a lineup including 7 players hitting below .228 isn't the stuff of Kings. I think if we're lucky, he may rise to the level of Royal Page.

I can't wait to read all you guys' posts on draft day whining when the player you coveted gets picked 1 or 2 slots ahead of the Mariners' draft pick.
