All my dates are required to wear no clothes in bed. Or in the kitchen. Seriously, the guy probably didn't even know them... a pickup from the night before? Gotta give him credit for getting to his workout.
He should have just stayed in bed for the workout.

Sorry, Scott, but you’re right, I’m caught up in what’s going on in the first inning because it’s been consistently terrible. In seven games in which the Mariners have used an opener, they’ve allowed 13 runs, 11 hits and 11 walks in six innings of work. That’s not a definition of something “working” for me.

Proponents argue that starters are more productive because they don’t have to face the top of the order three times in a game. Know what I call that? Overthinking things. You mean to tell me that LeBlanc would have been less effective last night if he had started the game than coming in with two outs in the first inning? Against that really, really dangerous Orioles’ lineup, the worst in MLB?

Then again, you could say it worked because the Mariners won 5-2. But in my book, it’s still an idiotic strategy, You can tinker too much in baseball, and this is a classic example of that.

I don't believe I have ever seen Jim Moore and Hy Feiber at the same time in the same place. :shock: ;)

Why in the hell doesn't Scott Servais pitch the first inning and then bring in an opener? That way the starting pitcher, beginning in the 3rd or 4th inning, can pitch a complete game. What's up is down.

Jim Moore not a fan of the opener.

Glad someone is actually holding Servais to account for his absolute bs.

It's just the pitchers SS has been choosing. I hope they go with Festa tomorrow.
