5/8 GT M’s vs CWS Hancock vs Burke

Hoppe and Simpson more Dipoto bullpen trash.

Simpson made 1 mistake but did well after. We finally beat a bad team yay!!!

Only team in AL west in the green with rd. So surprised Rangers aren't they have great pitching.

Emerson 5 hits in 2 gms. With 2 homers. Starting to heat up. Injury must be healing hasent missed a game since return. Hoping he continues on this run. Called up very soon

Mariners win! We're HEROES!!!

Raley with the career night. Got a nice 0-2 cookie and a missed call on a 2-0 pitch that turned into a 2-1 cookie. And speaking of which, when Cal isn't swinging at pitches way out of the strike zone he's missing the cookies.

Kind of funny watching a guy like Sinpson who isn't used to closing victories do the jig.

Not that you like to give up eight runs but this was a fun team to watch tonight.

I should have marked this out of the Game Notes

8 (updated, was 7): Mariners pitching staff has picked off 8 baserunners this season, tied most in the Majors (MIL-8 and NYY-8).

Cal 0-25 seriously he is bad right now. Would rather Pereda he was swinging a good bat. Even Garver is better to watch right now. Btw Mariners have to be the worst team challenging calls ball or strikes. Its been bad.

Naylor and Julio continue to contribute but batting behind 0-25 guy. Classic. Seriously if I was Cal I would admit I need to bat lower. He is getting shit pitches and making shit outs. How the fuck are the Sox in the wc they are horrid. This is fun. 3-5 having a monster night. Finally middle of the order offense really getting hott.

Its awesome last time Luke hit 2 homers was against thie team. He rakes against these guys.

Cal can't be hitting 2nd if he continues hitting like the 2026 version of him.

Seriously enough is enough move Anderson to AAA he is too lethal for AA

1st year in pro league and best pitcher by far in the minors. It's time for him to have a true test.

AA is where the talent is. You can promote him from AA at some point. Really not a need to send him to AAA

Jeff Passan suggested he goes to AAA. You can read it if you go to mynorthwest.com

“I actually love the idea of moving Kade Anderson to Triple-A because Triple-A is populated with former big leaguers, and guys who are not gonna swing at your crap, and guys who know how to take professional at-bats and guys who are going to grind you down,” Passan said. “And look, if a guy takes good at-bats and has power, he’s going to be in the big leagues. So there’s always something missing there (with Triple-A hitters), but it’s a different sort of challenge that I think somebody like Kade Anderson could really stand to have before he makes to the big leagues.”

A move to Triple-A would seem like that natural progression for Anderson. However, it is contrary to how the Mariners have handled their top pitching prospects in recent years. Among Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, Bryan Woo and Bryce Miller, Gilbert was the only to pitch in Triple-A before the majors, making one start with Tacoma at the beginning of the 2021 season before being called up to the majors. Kirby, Woo and Miller all went straight from Double-A to the majors

OK, he's saying basically he's ready. But jumping from AA to the bigs this quickly would be pretty unheard-of. I can see that. They are going to have to figure out what to do with him rather quickly. I don't think you promote him to AAA and just have him sit there all season.

And the deal is that's where their coaching is, at AA. That could be more significant than trying to find better competition. Though on the other hand he's closer to Seattle if he's in Tacoma, those coaches. It's an interesting problem to have

Yeah I don't even see it as a problem. He doesn't even seem to need any coaching.

The problem I meant was too many starting pitchers lol. I think it turns on when they are prepared to promote him to Seattle. I think you have to be close to promoting him to the majors before you send him to AAA. It would be in preparation to a ML promotion.

Something's wrong with Cal. They need to put him on the IL.
