Mariners Moose Tracks, 8/31/17: Albert Pujols, Brandon Phillips, and Rhys Hoskins

Hello everyone! I know the Mariners have been extremely frustrating lately. I know some wise guy/gal is gonna say “well, when are they not frustrating?” I don’t really know how to answer that question. So I’m going to ignore it and just move onto the links!

In Mariners news...

• Evan Scribner could help the club pretty soon.

• Some Mariners fans spoke to The Relish about what it’s like to be a fan of the team.

In Mariners minors news...

• The minor league season is drawing to a close, and the AquaSox got blown out in their last game of the year.
• Lindsey Caughel had himself a game, twirling a shutout for the Travelers.

• Joey Curletta is ending his season on a high note.

Around the league...

• FiveThirtyEight’s Neil Paine thinks that Albert Pujols — formerly the best player in the sport — is now the worst player in the league. Speaking of Pujols, he tied Jim Thome yesterday on the all-time home run list.
• Carlos Correa will likely return to action with the Astros on Friday.
• C.J. Cron is now the proud owner of season tickets to the Phoenix Suns basketball team after hitting two homers in a recent game.
• Miguel Cabrera may be dealing with back issues for the rest of his career.
• Phillies sensation Rhys Hoskins was just named the International League MVP.
• Bryce Harper isn’t even close to getting back into running drills, so it looks like it could be a while before he returns to games.
• Dave Cameron urges teams to take a long look at Juan Nicasio, who is currently on waivers.
• Brandon Phillips reached 2,000 career hits!

Anders’ picks...

• This strikes me as a very odd decision.
