3/31 GT: 4th Channel, 4th Win

[Donn Beach]

Good to know Blogan Gilbert is in line to get the most starts of any M pitcher this year. True ace of the rotation.

I think your top three starters are all going to make about the same amount of starts over a season.

Gee no kidding? Just seems like a poor assessment by Jerry of who deserved the opening game start. Will it matter much in the end? Well only if they miss the playoffs by one or two games.

That's my point it isn't going to impact anything, it really doesn't matter who the opening day starter was, unless they were going to decide to make him the fifth starter before the season started. Don't over think this stuff

Nothing tonight from the offense but bullpen is looking really good

Bullpen shuts them down. Leg looking really good early on!!

[AT Fresno]

well, I have seen enough. This is a loss similar to the Rainiers tonight. glad we won yesterday. night boys

[Millikin]

Bright spots :

Wilcox was good
Julio didn't strike out
Legume mopped up like a pro
Young/Donovan still hitting

Max Fried... Makes lineups look bad for a living, and he's great at his job.

[Seattle or Bust]

If Refsnyder doesn't work out... it's a good thing they signed Patrick Wisdom.

4 HR's already in Tacoma.

The thing about setting up the rotation, you're pitting your number one against the oppositions. And that seems to hold up during a season. I don't really know if that's important or not but Gilbert is going to be going up against the other best pitchers. He doesn't get more starts but he gets the toughest opposition

[Sibelius Hindemith]

Refsnyder is this year's Mastrobuoni/Urias/Pollock/Frazier. Just an inconsequential bat.

Refsnyder is this year's Mastrobuoni.

He doesn't have Mastrobuoni's defensive value

Refsnyder is this year's Mastrobuoni.

He doesn't have Mastrobuoni's defensive value

What was the purpose of signing him, was it just to occasionally fill in at DH and pinch hit?

Yeah, from the right side of the plate. He was signed because since 2022 he's probably been the best hitter in baseball against left handed hitting. He's been an elite specialist. Maybe he will crater who knows. But I thought dipoto being willing to spend $6 MIL for a specialized piece like that showed a commitment to making the playoffs again. I liked the signing

Since 2022

3rd in MLB for OBP against lefties (.407), 6th in Average (.312), and 7th in OPS (.924) [min. 400 PA]
