Mariners win! We're HEROES!!!

The team still isn't hitting for shit but managed to squeeze out enough.

JP and Castillo can't be replaced fast enough. JP has lost it in the field.

I don't get why Donovan has a bad reputation for defense at third. I've seen him play very well and he doesn't one hop every single throw like JP he hits Naylor in the chest
I think he's had a tendency to chuck the ball into right field more than short hopping Naylor. I don't know about a reputation, it's a fact. He's brought it up himself. He got off to a rough start defensively, hopefully he gets it ironed out
“It’s not something you can run from,” he said. “You’ve just got to keep preparing and understand I’m not playing to the standard that I set for myself, defensively and what I have done the last few years. That’s frustrating. My biggest thing is I just want to help the team win, and I don’t feel like I’m doing a very good job of that over there, so I’ll continue to prepare.”
Well that play and throw he made last night was GG caliber so if he can keep that up he will literally be golden.

This is as OT as you can get but talk about hot. April 27th, the top 50 worlds hottest cities were all in India.
On April 27, average peak temperatures across all 50 Indian cities on the list hit 112.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
I LOVE Indian food but I can get it here in Wenatchee so zero reason to go there.....

btw Camping in Moses Lake from Sunday to Thursday. First camping trip that I haven't drank since I was a kid. lol Been over a month now of clean healthy living...

Nobody was claiming he's bad. It was more struggling like he wasn't familiar with the position. Guys are going to be reluctant to be in a position to fail like that. It kinda illustrates that. And Donovan can actually hit as well

A lot of people were traumatized by that throw he made on the bunt which was way wide and went down the RF line. He does have negative D metrics. I guess I may have missed all his bad plays other than that one throw.
