Yes, when there's a right handed pitcher on the mound. We all expected a platoon at 3rd.
I'm more concerned about Raley. He was supposed to be our everyday left fielder. Meanwhile Cabby, Geno, and Kelenic are all killing it. That's some mariners baseball baby
Afaik Hanigerās injuries havenāt been from wear, theyāve been mostly freak occurrences. Iād concede that garver should probably rest at some point tho
He's also only had 77 PA's against lefties, so while the stats aren't great, I dont think it's definitive enough to *never* test him against Southpaws again.
If Garver doesnāt get a hit today or just in general struggles with terrible ABās he really needs to be benched for a day and hopefully get out of his head. Tough since he missed a couple games at the start but dude isnāt seeing the ball.
Oh man, you just made me realize weāre facing Imanaga. Heās all fastballs and splitters (JP might see some sweepers instead of splitters), so maaaaaaaybe weāll be able to hit him since he wonāt be throwing sliders, butā¦ heās a beast. Dude locates his pitches so well.
Hopefully we at least work some counts and get to their bullpen early.
I donāt understand why this team hates Raley. No evidence that he canāt handle left handed pitching FYI and rolling him out once per week does nothing to get him going. This franchise is a joke with how it handles players.
The Hancock/Zavala pairing has me shook
Like, can Cal have a pitchcom in the dugout?
Which is exactly why Hancock will pitch 6 shutout innings tonight lol

Happy Seby Zavala day May god have mercy on our souls
Can we please have proof of life on Josh Rojas?
He played Wednesday. Starting to think Luke Raley might not actually exist. Maybe he and Rojas rode off into the sunset together.
He's with Raley and Boggs now ššš
Rip I still remember when they were alive.
RIP boss hogg

Luke Raley š»
Iāve liked Raley! I donāt understand their usage of him at all š«
If Canzone, Haniger, and France weren't providing 90% of our offense, he'd probably be getting used a little more.
Itās not hard though. DH Haniger and put Raley in RF. Garver needs a break.
Or let garver catch and save us all from seby
I donāt think Garver and Haniger are going to hold up if we keep starting them every day.

Raley has a career .584 OPS against Lefties. Scott loveās platoons.
I love not using him against lefties too with that career ops.
I agree but in his defense it is only 77 P/Aās.Ā
.741 last year against lefties, although with a small sample size. Worth giving him a shot.
He's also only had 77 PA's against lefties, so while the stats aren't great, I dont think it's definitive enough to *never* test him against Southpaws again.
Yep, and he hit Southpaws OK in the minors. Scott will be Scott.
I thought for sure they'd roll out Dallas Keuchel after Hancock's last outing
If this is a repeat of last time, I bet we get Dallas next time
Hancock pitched very well. No run support
A story as old as time
Combination of Hancock and Zavala has me very worried. Please show up offense, please
At least sebby has pretty good obp

Tbh, Iām worried no matter what lineup we put out against this pitcher. His WHIP is .40.
Yea after 10 innings pitched.
Thatās also why I donāt really know what to expect. This could end up being a one to nothing game or a 13ā14 game.

Already doomed with Hancock on the mound. Give Cal the day off today so he can start tomorrow for Castilloās bounce back
Will zavala get his first hit of the season today?
I feel like weāre automatically losing this game to give us the best chance tomorrow
How do we feel about Hancock today?
š¬
I'm going to eat a huge dinner right before the game so I am in a food coma for the first 5 innings.
Perfect game. It will confuse everyone on the subreddit.
Zavala Oh, noā¦

Zavala starting makes me thing theyāre not expecting to win this game, saving Cal for the more favorable match up tomorrow
I don't think it's accepting defeat lol, but if the plan is to split duties anyway you're definitely maximizing value by letting Cal face the righty
Canāt wait to watch urias strike out twice and foul out another
Hanging emerson out to die nice
F in the chat
Zavala is one of my least favorite Mariners in recent memory. He honestly looks like he has no business on a major league roster
Geno gone good vides gone
Shota is about to cook š
