Game 32, Rangers at Mariners
Dillon Overton vs. Andrew Cashner, 1:10pm
7-run innings are fun, and I recommend the M’s produce more of them. Further, why can’t they make the entire season out of home series vs. a banged-up Texas club?
Dillon Overton gets the start today ahead of Christian Bergman. Chase de Jong’s second start worked out ok; maybe Overton will grow into this role.
Andrew Cashner is pretty unrecognizable from his Padres days; he’s now got below average velo, and he throws a ton of sinkers. Strangely, though, it’s worked ok, at least through a handful of starts. He pitched pretty well in Safeco in Mid-April, but his start lined up with Paxton’s gem. His ERA, though, masks some ugly peripherals. He was never a strikeout guy, even when he threw 97. Now his K:BB ratio looks poor, and worse when you remember that the walks are the largest term, not the Ks. You almost fooled me, Cashner.

Go Mariners! Let’s win the Battle of the Basement!
Valencia’s been scratched and replaced with Motter.
No details yet, but we can probably safely assume Motter’s having a better hair day.
Until a few days ago I would’ve taken that announcement as extremely good news, Steve.
But, in any case, you’re right – when Valencia is the opponent, Motter will always be the victor in the battle of the hair.
Why is Ruiz having a problem with Overton’s changeups?
Boy, the USSM sidebar is getting really out of date!
😀
Hopefully Cano just stung his hand a bit… he’s someone this team really can’t afford to lose right now.
Okay offense – it’s time to get busy!
New ballgame thanks to Danny Valencia!
SEA-BOSS!!
Well, Seager waited until the 7th of May to hit his first home run at home.
Woo Hoo! Mariners win!
If the Mariners could get any production out of the catchers spot, they might be able to turn this ship around.
Here’s to a productive day off! have a fun Sunday guys.
What is it about the AL West that everyone except Houston, on the road, is one form or the other of crap? This is also something they need to turn around.
