What is the story about?
It’s another Saturday morning, which means we’re about to record a Meet at the Mitt episode. Look for it later in the day. We’ll be without the baritone of one Anders Jorstad, which is why I’m covering links. He enters Day 7 of his honeymoon, a career high for the young righty.
The Mariners face off against the Nats this afternoon in pefect baseball weather for a change. First pitch is at 1:05 PDT on Mariners TV and 710 KIRO.
In Mariners news . . .
- Randy Arozarena left last night’s game early with a hamstring strain that might have been more of a spasm or a cramp, according to Dan Wilson. He’s day-to-day.
- The good news from the game was Bryce Miller reaching a new career high in innings pitched with 8.
- Down on the farm, Kade Anderson did a stand up with Arkansas’ KATV.
Around the league . . .
- Jacob Misiorowski pitched what Brew Crew Ball is calling the best start in franchise history: a 15-strikeout Maddux.
- Sandy Alcantara became the fifth active Dominican-born starter to reach 1,000 career strikeouts.
- Spencer Strider left last night’s game early. His velo had been down one and a half ticks.
- Jonathan Mayo did another mock draft. He sent Bo Lawrence to the M’s.
- On May 27, 1941, FDR issued a radio address to outline Hitler’s plan to conquer the world and “strangle the United States.” The Braves-Giants game was paused after the seventh inning so the speech could be aired over the PA system at the Polo Grounds. Read all about the historical oddity from Harrison Golden.
