Game 35 + Minors Rewind
Nickeled and dimed and dimed and dimed ... plus Tyler Olson! (who?)

 

One of the strangest outings you'll see.

  • No strikeouts
  • No walks
  • No extra-base hits
  • 34 balls-in-play
  • 14 singles

But it didn't add up for Brandon Maurer, whose mid-90s heat doesn't fool anyone without something else to cross up the hitter.

***

Also:

  • Tyler Olson has fast-tracked from Gonzaga to AA and is zipping up the depth chart.
  • Abe is still not pencil-worthy so far.
  • An appearance from 2014 Mariner MVP Randy Wolf.
  • Diaz is struggling.

Diaz and especially Pike have really disappointed early on with the high BB rates. Diaz looked like he had turned it around last year but has walked the same number in less than half the innings. Pike has been bad every year with walks and worse this year. Looks like he'll be a perfect fit as another wild bullpen arm for us down the line. For a guy they like to compare with Glavine he better start throwing more strikes, but so far they haven't hit him at any level.
