    When I turned it on for pregame the channel wasn’t loading so I messaged DTV and they said I couldn’t get it.

A slappy little weak ground ball would not have been my first choice, but it's a run.

Thanks for taking his contract, kids!

The Mariners announced that they have recalled outfielder Dominic Canzone from Triple-A Tacoma. In a corresponding move, fellow outfielder Leody Taveras has been designated for assignment. The M’s also announced that right-hander Casey Lawrence, who was designated for assignment a couple of days ago, has cleared waivers and been sent outright to Triple-A.

Seattle somewhat surprisingly claimed Taveras off waivers earlier this year, despite him being owed about $3.73MM at the time of that move. Seattle had been hamstrung financially throughout the offseason, with ownership providing the front office a reported $15-16MM to try to add as many as three bats to the lineup. Presumably, ownership was emboldened by a hot start to the season and gave the green light to a buy-low opportunity on Taveras while both Victor Robles and Luke Raley were on the injured list.

Simply put, it hasn’t worked. At the time of his DFA in Texas, Taveras was hitting just .241/.259/.342 with a career-worst 28% strikeout rate and exit velocity and hard-hit numbers. The switch-hitter’s batted-ball metrics have improved, but the bottom-line results have only gotten worse.

In 98 plate appearances with the M’s, Taveras has posted an anemic .174/.198/.272 batting line with a 27.6% strikeout rate. He’s cut down on his chase rate and been more aggressive within the strike zone, but the Mariners, who’ve dropped 10 of their past 14 games and fallen 2.5 games back of the Astros in the AL West, apparently don’t feel they have the luxury of waiting to see if the improved approach and stronger contact eventually manifest in better production. 

This is really getting weird with little Josh at 1B. Either Jake has an injury we don’t know about, or he’s too scared of losing his DH if he starts Smith there & has to move him late. But that doesn’t really hold water with how often he starts both Cs.

Would be 4 and no outs if dipshit hadn’t swung at ball 4 that bounced in front of the fucking plate [emoji2357]

No harm no foul but it's embarassing that Seager can't take home there.

15 against the A's on April 29 is the high water run mark on the year FYI.

Damn, this is like two weeks worth of runs for the Rangers. They may not score the rest of the month to get back down to their average rate.

Rangers should trade for Bride and make him the closer.

Probably the most enjoyable game of the year.  Making plays and hitting the ball.

And with our best guy still playing baryshnikov at the plate.  
 

Starting to get a good feeling.
