5/16: Open Game Thread

Ohhhh, hello. I am pleased to be here presenting YOU with a game thread. We will trade barbs and laughs, and have a good time typing to each other in all caps as the Seattle Mariners welcome the Oakland Athletics to Safeco Field.

Today, Chase De Jong approaches the mound looking like a deer in headlights as he faces Oakland's heaviest hitters that have not been traded elsewhere. Meanwhile, Oakland sends Andrew Triggs to the mound. Triggs boasts a nice mix of three pitches and he has been off to a good start this year. It's early.

Notes

• Cano is going to the DL with a quad issue.
• Boog Powell has been called up. His quads are reportedly healthy.
• Mitch Haniger is running around and coming back soon. He told me to say hi.
• Edwin Diaz is no longer the closer. Who will fill the void in our pen, and our hearts?

Gather around the television or your phone and prepare yourself for a remarkable nine innings. This will be a Tuesday to remember. I can tell.
