Cole Young hit another homer and is 3-3... he has raised his OPS to .801 from the upper .500's in 2 weeks.

Insane.
He is a single away from the cycle and Ford is hitting near 300 so yea they will continue to rot cause Jerry has his orgy and doesn't wanna lose that!!
I doubt they'd continue it in the majors...

But I don't see any reason why you can't start Ford at 1B/OF and have him catch a couple times a week.

Young can slot at 2B.

Will they continue this insane success? Likely not... but holy fuck it's not like Solano, Garver, Tellez, and Masterboner are gonna do better.

They might be better then what we have now though!!! Gotta see what the kids have can't be any worse even though Benny is looking really bad lately. Polanco hasent played 2nd since idk how long and Young just waiting while it's his time already!!

So glad we got 1 big hit against a minor leaguer through 3!!! Offense coming off thier high really really bad!!!

Pretty nice play by Crawford to make up for a bumbling play earlier.

Mariners audio through Apple doesn't seem to be working.

I don't see much out there to trade Harry Ford for. I'd rather they bring him up next year and let him develop as Cal's backup. He can catch two days per week, play the outfield, pinch run, and occasionally DH. If there was a premier player out there to move him for, I would get that, but I don't think that player exists right now. The expanded postseason format doesn't help with that.

If they do trade him this season, it should be for a starting pitcher.

Evans handling the muscle early on. Sure baserunners but keeping them at bay!!! Wish our offense would get more runs!!! Guaranteed San Diego will score 3-5 runs tonight!!! PROVE ME WRONG!!

Seems the M's have wasted money on Leody.

Good to see Tellez add on a bit more. Teeny cushion for Evans keeping the ball in the park throwing strikes!!! Padres are 16-5 at home. Usually when we hit homers we win so hoping it continues!!!!

Yea was so excited to see what he does but strikes out way way too much not great contact. Would actually give Cantzone another try with Moore playing there against right handers!!!

He has been pretty decent actually helps out this offense a bit and plays decent defense for a big man!!!

Kirby should be ready next time through. Close to 70 pitches so 85 for his debut against cheatstros which should be like 3 innings against them!!
