Second to last game versus Houston for the regular season, folks

Hey it’s Saturday and it’s been hot as heck in Seattle for what feels like a full week (weird!) and the Mariners are playing a game at 4:10 PM local time. Crank the fan or AC if you’re lucky and melt away into some baseball, folks. No thoughts, just baseball. Don’t even worry about the opponent, it’s fine. It’ll be fine. You’ve earned this.

Lineups!

Cal Raleigh works very hard like a certain former LL writer-turned-Big-Apple-sportswriter, and so he deserves a day of rest. Resist the temptation to pinch hit him in the 7th inning, Scott, please. Our beef boy needs his rest so he can keep Brene Brown-ing the pitching staff (the power of vulnerability, babyyyy).

Jesse Winker also gets a day off and Chris Flexen will stare down the buzzsaw that is the Houston Astros lineup. Buckle up, just one more game versus these shitbirds until the [redacted]. Let’s go Mariners.
