Mariners
The Giants open up the so-called “second half” on the road, but even so, why not use one of kodachrome’s photos as the Picture of the Post?
The 41-55 Giants split the Rockies series immediately before the ASG break, to avoid the ignominy of falling into last place. They also drafted the highest pitching prospect during the break. But all eyes are on the upcoming trade deadline, for a team that is 14 games below water has a many reasons to make drastic changes. We will see!
The road trip starts in Seattle,
• Friday, 7:10, Landen Roupp (6-8, 4.27) vs. RHP Bryce Miller (4-3, 2.18)
• Saturday, 5:08, Logan Webb (5-7, 3.86) vs. RHP Bryan Woo (7-6, 4.23)
• Sunday, 1:10, Robbie Ray (8-6, 3.38) vs. RHP Logan Gilbert (7-6, 3.32)
Logan Webb asked to pitch in the ASG only as a last resort, so we might worry a bit about his health? That odd time on Saturday is because the game is on rabbit ears FOX.
Mariners starters:
🧭 1B Josh Naylor (36), 2B Cole Young (43), SS Colt Emerson (20), 3B JP Crawford (28)
🧭 RF Luke Raley (36), CF Victor Robles (8), LF Randy Arozarena (45)
🧭 C Cal Raleigh (29), DH Dominic Canzone (40)
🧭 closer Andres Munoz, set ups Jose Ferrer and Eduard Bazardo
CF and 40 RBI man Julio Rodriguez suffered a concussion on July 3rd, when a throw caught him on the back of the helmet, but the word is he’s likely to be activated to face our Giants. There are no ex-Giants on the team, unless you count Conner Joe at AAA. And what is going on with Cal Raleigh, who was superhuman last year, but has only 9 homers on the current season?
