Kevin Cash is smarter than me but Ben Williamson has literally never gotten a hit in his life vs 97+ FF and yet he continues to start again Miz.
I think restricting OF positioning is too reactionary. It's an unnecessary response and that as his seeing 100mph from an earlier age continues to be more common hitters will adjust and get better at hitting it
MLB's testing of new outfield positional rules in Arizona seems to be working exactly as intended.
Offense is WAY up.
Is that a good thing?

My assumption is that Aaron Ashby gives up a run(s) today and the Rays win bc I've watched how the baseball gods operate for nearly 40 years and I believe if the phenomenon of Dueness
Crazy that people can see Randy Arozarena interact with Julio and jam on a trident guitar with Laz and then look at you and tell you he's a clubhouse issue
Don't want MLB season to be over, but on the bright side I will be changing back to m00nl1ght day 1 of the offseason since @RefuseToLosePod talked me into changing my handle to try to change the Mariners juju earlier this season. It did not work like last year lol
Per @spotrac, free agent J.P. Crawford's market value is $64.5m or 3 years at $21.5m AAV... Hmmm
I think if the Mets go out and sign Skubal, Morejon, BLowe, and some other top pitcher before Dec 1 we can assume that they really expect the owners to hold out for a cap.
"I wonder how maniners prospects are doing in the AFL?"
Eike .293/.383/.439 😍
Ellis .156/.357/.375 🤔
B. Smith .132/.306/.132 🤮
Meanwhile Tai Peete on the same team
.365/.459/.731 😭😭😭
The only explanation for Jason Kanzler to be a finalist for mariners manager is he must be a very impressive individual. He's 36 and didn't play above high A. He was a high school manager then a MiLB hitting coordinator. Then in 2024 the cubs hired him as director of player dev.
Wow so those ARE the finalists and there's apparently not a secret candidate. I would prefer Kanzler as manager and Espada as bench coach but not sure he'd accept that
Mariners are down to two finalists in their manager search — and Joe Espada and Jason Kanzler are scheduled for in-person interviews today and tomorrow.
Decision expected by the end of the week.
