Daiken (aka the H-VAC) is literally the most neutral ballpark in the majors in terms of park factor, directly between Comerica and Camden.

This is long-awaited like cancer is long-awaited. Embarrassing.

I knew it was over the minute Scrubb came in

AJ somehow waited until the 2nd inning to share a story about winning a world series on this field. Progress!

They are one Gilbert shoulder discomfort away from 3rd place

The Mariners rotation downfall this season is only being anticipated by those who are willing to open their eyes.

What part of untenable do you people not understand

Do spring stats matter? No.

Would you prefer that literally any single one of your starters hit at least .200 in spring? Probably.

Imagine trying to hurt us

But if we don't trade any infielders, how are we gonna find ourselves in a bad spot all season when stuff like this happens?

I've seen enough. The #Astros advance to the November contest.

Either way, I don't see us trading any depth starter. They'd much rather expose a reliever to waivers than trade a starter.

He could go to the IL as well right?

Who are they suggesting trading? I doubt any of the depth we scraped together is expendable. Pearson would go to the IL, not sure who else is gonna be an issue.

Looking forward to it! Even if you are calling it the ice box and not the H-VAC.

Man, I love Chandler's pod, but today was basically 30 minutes talking about the Mariners' perceived superiority, how the Mariners still feel about 2017, with a brief 2019 game 7 reference. Just absolutely brutal from start to finish. #Astros

But the spring training stats!

If Salazar is hitting .235 in May I might call him up

Yeah this isn't a Cam scenario where he's in contention for a draft pick. At a minimum let him stay down for 2 weeks to see how Cesar does while he gets the extra year of control.

But honestly he may be our 2nd best option at catcher in the org

Ha nice, I haven't seen it yet. Wouldn't take much, the bar is pretty low.

How many days away from the "Does Janek steal the backup job" conversation?
