With the intrasquad game rained out, there wasn't much notable, but I went back a couple of days for some worthy stuff.
| MARINERS CRUNCH | |
| National writer Jonah Keri has the M's No. 3 in all of baseball and No. 1 in the AL | He counts down "The 30" -- so you have to go a long way down to find the M's (that's good) |
| Stone on Ackley and the non-platoon platoon |
He's not putting on a Willem DeFoe agonizing death scene anyway
|
| MLB.com on Ackley | Lloyd will give him extra spring at-bats to try to get him rolling earlier in the season |
| Divish on Carson Smith (couple days old) | Who's been comparing Smith to Jeff Nelson for like three years now? |
| Divish on Mayckol Guiape (also couple days old) | "GHWY-pay" they say. And the first name is just Michael. Yet another one of those RH relievers that just keep coming. |
| Matt Pentz on Andy Van Slyke and teaching Weeks OF (yes, also couple days old) |
Van Slyke examines the speed of the grass in every stadium as part of his OF coach duties
|
| AL WEST CRUNCH | |
| Ken Rosenthal thinks Houston got too good too fast | Um ... OK |
| MLB CRUNCH | |
| Matt Harvey set to return for Mets | If you've forgotten, Harvey was the best pitcher in baseball when he went down late in 2013 |
| Victor Martinez thinks he'll be ready for Opening Day | He and his Tiger mates will have something to say about the "Mariners best in AL" business |
| CRUNCHY CRUNCH | |
| 49ers sign Aussie rugby star |
Interesting ...
|
| Virginia wins in Carrier Dome, all but locks up No. 1 seed | Can't resist ... |
