Series Preview
From the gutter to the Pacific Northwest, Trevor Bauer is out to throw some cheddar against a Mariners offense that has been on a tear lately. Bauer hasn't been amazing this year overall, but he's been solid and has certainly shown signs of maturing and improving. It feels like any game could be a breakout game for him, so why not this one?
This is a very different Mariners team than the one that we embarrassed last year. LNGFT manager Eric Wedge is no more, and Robinson Cano has stepped in to provide an intimidating middle-of-the-order presence. We'll need Bauer to throw strikes, because the offense will be challenged by M's starter Chris Young. Here's hoping Kip and Cabby can amaze, and Santana keeps whippin' out the hose, because we won't have Scotty K, Smith, or CP helping out with the swings and whiffs (whiffs).
Let's Go Tribe!
