Remember Art Warren?

https://www.baseball-reference.com/play ... ar01.shtml

I sure do.
If I recall, we both liked him.
Only 3 from that 23rd round in 2015 ever got a taste of MLB play. One could argue that a fourth did, Donavan Walton, whom the Brewers selected.
Donny did not sign with them, so the Mariners picked him in the 6th round in 2016. He's 3B and utility infielder on the Angels.
On a side note,Tayler Saucedo has pitched in 4 games for the Angels this year, was just optioned down to AAA. Not sure what's up with Tyler Lockyear; I think he's injured and rehabbing in low Angels minors.

Art Warren last pitched in 2025 in 2 Indie leagues, one in Mexico. I don't find any record for him this year.

Tomorrow, vs. the Mets, the Mariners will be facing Austin Warren. I don't think they're related, but who knows.

Any relation to Austin?

Everyone's going to say that the piggybacking really worked out well today, but I guarantee you Miller wasn't happy at all about being removed at just 71 pitches and not getting a win that he deserved. The only good that came out of it is that Castillo's trade value went up.

That is a great thing. I think this could work out well. Castillo is multitudes better than guys in the pen outside of Ferrer, Brash, Munoz, types. So getting rid of that money with Anderson nipping at the heals is huge.

The tandem has looked pretty darn good.

Today the 3-2 walk, the weak ass contact seeing peeing eye double, the wild pitch. Another poster put up some info on how Luis has had some bad luck this year. He has a 5.56 ERA but a 4.16 FIP, BABIP last year was .286 this year .325.

I think if both these guys give it their all and focus not only is this good for them as individuals but good for the team. Emerson Hancock had a start or 2 where they told him just gas it out and give us 3 or 4 as an opener. He did really well in them and really these two have both looked good the past 2 games.


For now I think it is a neat and innovative solution to an extremely rare team situation.


Is it any better or worse than making either one a LR guy that they plan to use for 3 or 4 innings?


Let’s let it play out and not be too concerned with Luis or Miller being but hurt about not getting the W when the team does.

Bryce Miller, if all he's concerned about is who gets credited with a win then he's an idiot

“I had a few questions that I wanted to ask, and they answered them. And I’m good now.”

Any relation to Austin?

This will be Austin's first ever MLB start....

Looking at them I would say the odds are one in a trillion....People have called me Warren a lot but I have started saying like Warner Bros and that seems to remove any doubt or confusion.

Why does Castillo have to be a starter or a long reliever?????? Why does he have to be stretched out? No other team does that. Anderson is in the wings as you said if there is an injury to another starter....make him a 1-2 inning reliever and be done with it.

Well a couple more outing like last 2 he may build up enough trade value to get someone to take on that salary and move him

[Donn Beach]

Yeah, if you're trading him he needs to continue to be ready to pitch as a starter. And I really don't see the issue. Just won a ten inning game using only two pitchers. I think that's a good thing. We are going to start complaining about not seeing six pitchers? How that sets up another run through the rotation? It's the opposite of a BP game. That gives Wilson more flexibility how he uses his BP. I think the pitching is coming around very nicely
