4/14: Open Game Thread

The Mariners will try to erase the sting of last night's walk-off loss by rolling out one of the most interesting lineups that Lloyd's magic 8 ball has come up with so far. The Bear will take the mound in an attempt to not have any pitches "slip" out of his hand and David Huff will take the mound in an attempt to revitalize a MLB career.

Huff on his career sits around 60% fastball, 18% change. However, last year in 59 innings, he relied much more heavily on a fastball/cutter arsenal. He signed this year to a minor league contract, so the M's should be looking to dust him up behind their usually-reliable-until-maybe-recently-I'm-not-scared-yet starter.

Then we saw this little bit of love:

Should be something fun.

Then, standing beside Ethier in the gloom of the dying afternoon, he looked down at the rotted overturned base, gutted and scored with claw marks and, in the wet earth beside it, the print of the enormous warped nine-cleat foot. He knew now what he had smelled when he peered under the bench where the ballboys huddled. He realized for the first time that the bear which had run in his listening and loomed in his dreams since before he could remember to the contrary, and which, therefore, must have existed in the listening and dreams of Gonzalez and Rollins and even old Crawford, too, before they began to remember in their turn, was a mortal animal, and that if they had departed for Spring Training each March without any actual hope of bringing its trophy back, it was not because it could not be slain, but because so far they had had no actual hope to.
