Yesterday’s results: (cool ad, bro)

MaiLLbag - Answered by Jacob Parr

We had a ton of questions yesterday for the podcast (which you should totally go check out) that we couldn’t get to, so here’s some rapid fire answers!

Lookout Landing Podcast.

In the two games so far, I think the keyword is “trust.” It seems like Scott’s placing a lot of trust in his guys, letting them go out and get the job done. In Saturday’s game, I was sure that Castillo was finished twice, but Scott kept sending him out, leading to Luis’ longest appearance as a Mariner so far. He also let Andres Muñoz stay out and collect five outs. Robbie and Paul may not have been worth that trust on Sunday, but then you’ve got guys like George Kirby pitching out of the bullpen in a one-run game.

So, yeah, I’m not sure there is much difference. Servais trusts his guys to live up to the moment and do their jobs. I think that’s the perfect postseason attitude.

Speaking of Robbie:

It’s hard to say. While I think Robbie may be a great bullpen guy (like anyone else with 2 or 3 pitches), I think Scott’s gonna keep him as a starter. The series get long from here on out, and so you need to have rest days for your best starters. I don’t see Robbie going 8 1⁄3 innings like Castillo, but I think he’ll still start games.

For his contributions, J.P. gets the highest possible honor I can bestow:

Here’s hoping I can make plenty more after the ALDS.

Happy birthday to...!

Happy birthday to two former Mariners - Jonathan Aro (32) and Jim Weaver (63)!
