I had such high hopes for Dan Cortes. I remember his last hot-sheet appearance.

Keep an eye on Wily Peralta. I think he has to be one of the most underrated pitchers in the minors right now and dominated in his first appearance.

Looking forward to the Withrow v Cashner matchup tonight....

It's opening night at Smokies Park and I am heading that way as soon as I get off work :mrgreen:

 

[topprospectalert]

I've seen Dan Cortes pitch four times since he became a Mariner and have not been impressed at all for a guy who had so much hype early on.

Arrieta 7 IP 3 H 2BB 5 SO 0.00 ERA

 

[jlyles]

Andrew Brackman, why do you continue to do this to me?

Andrew Brackman 4 IP, 10 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 13.50 ERA, likely now 0-2.

 

[Jaypers]

Andrew Brackman, why do you continue to do this to me?

Andrew Brackman 4 IP, 10 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 13.50 ERA, likely now 0-2.

I wonder if he's a decent hitter. Maybe he should be converted to one.

 

[Jaypers]

Quite a turnaround since his last dominant outing.

Trevor May - 1.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 4 BB, 4 K

 

[sheetskout]

Kyle Skipworth 1-1, 2B, BB (don't look now, but he's almost at .300)

Still a huge believer over here.

 

[Jaypers]

Mark Trumbo 2-3, 2 HR, 4 RBI

 

[soccerman034]

Just an FYI; Britton pitched yesterday: 6 IP, 1 ER, 2 BB, 6 SO (W)

 

[Jaypers]

HR Max Stassi (2)
Cosart -- 3 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 6 K

 

[Jaypers]

I figured the Reading/NH game would be a pitcher's dual, but I was mistaken.

So far:

Drabek 4 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
Aumont 4 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 2 K

 

[AKA Coastal]

Anyone think Bumgarners velocity is gonna comeback this season? I'm pretty interested in tonight's start. His first one was ugly.
