Last night was a disaster and it’s fair for me to admit that I just have a Kryptonite whenever it comes to slates that have lots of PPD question marks, pitchers changing or lineup scratches. I find that I do well when there’s a lot of things going on, but I also like to know exactly what I am going into and it is what it is. I just suck when there’s a ton of Rain or Late Scratch noise.

Nobody is talking about how well Manuel Margot is playing for the Rays right now and we have another Wander Franco should go 4-4 type game tonight. Wander Franco Randy Arozarena Manuel Margot For the Mariners it was horrible to see them blow that lead but awesome to see Jarred Kelenic deliver a big time 8th inning go ahead homer.
