Mariners Moose Tracks, 5/12/24: Cal Raleigh, Paul Skenes, and Eugenio Suárez

It’s Sunday, and if it’s Sunday, it’s Meet the Mother’s Day Links.

In Mariners news...

• The Mariners offense needs Dominic Canzone so badly.

• I don’t like telling people what to do, but I won’t let that stop me from doing it. Stop doing the wave. Especially if you’re in the Diamond Club.

• Mariners admin trying to bring back the milk memes??

Around the league...

• Top pitching prospect Paul Skenes made his Major League debut yesterday in what ended up being a really bizarre game, but Skenes’ first inning was absolutely electric, with the crowd engaged with every single pitch thrown.

• And those fans were treated to a show immediately, with nine out ten Skenes fastballs in the first inning being clocked over 100 mph.

• If watching a game from McCovey Cove wasn’t already on your bucket list, it definitely is now.

• Geno has one more chance this season to join a very cool club today in the series finale in Baltimore.

• Max Scherzer was already facing a long recovery following back surgery last year, and nerve issues that extend up the entire arm are certainly not going to help him get back sooner for his age 39 season.

• If these leaks are legit, these might go down as the biggest snooze fest City Connects yet.

• You never think of turtles as being that fast until you’re trying to catch one and all of a sudden they turn into rabbits.

• No, you aren’t imagining it. Mascots are actually getting hornier by design. ($)

Nick’s pick...

• Umpires do this on the field between innings and get a standing ovation, I do this at the farmer’s market and get arrested. Doesn’t seem fair.
