Fryer the Padres in Petco Park GT - Tues., March 14 @ 6:40pm

[rockycola]

Maybe we'll get to see Ty France @ Petco Field.
Michael King has walked 8 in his 3 starts, one quality start. Bryan Woo, 3 starts, 4 BB's, 2 QS.
Let's go down to San Diego and take all 3. M's are 8-9 now so getting to 11-9 would be solid.
Padres are 10-6 thus far and didn't play today.

Crazy how few wins Mariner starting pitchers have.

2-3 would be fine then come and take over 1st place from the As and Texas

Here was an interesting blurb by Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic:

Many statistical analysts believe hitting successfully with runners in scoring position is not a repeatable skill. Well, how does one explain Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford, whose eighth career walk-off hit Saturday night made him 30-for-77 in his career with the bases loaded?

Those numbers include six grand slams, two triples and seven doubles, good for a .390 batting average, 1.162 OPS and 88 RBIs in 91 plate appearances.

“I do think there’s skill involved,” Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto said. “The pitcher is almost always more anxious than J.P., who has always been a low pulse, selective hitter in these situations.

“I think many guys get themselves out with aggression. J.P. is calm in the moment. He makes them come to him.”

Is the Vedder Cup up for grabs again? What an amazing trophy win for us last season. Hope we can defend it successfully this time around.

There's Wisdom in this selection.

He's mostly a first baseman and DH. He can do spot duty in RF or LF. He'll probably get some play at 3B; he played 58 games at third in Korea last year with a .926 fielding %.

Refsnyder is listed as an OF, 2B, 1B. He last played 1B in 2020 (4 games, starting 2). 2B? A joke. He played 2B in 2017 and not since.

They both bat RH. Ref just turned 35. Wis turns 35 in August.

Refsnyder has a little better bat on ball skills, and lower strikeouts. Wisdom has more power, better OPS, but K's more. We'll see.

He has 14 hits and 9 are HRs? Swing from your ass type? He aught to fit right in here.

I'm as astonished and skeptical as you, Michael.
