Erasmo Ramirez vs. Edinson Volquez, 7:10pm It wasn’t pretty in the early going, but Erasmo Ramirez got stretched out and settled into something like dominance in AAA, giving up 4 runs and 4 walks against 20 Ks in his final three starts (21 1/3 IP). More impressively, the right-hander maintained plus velocity deep into games, [...]
Those of you who’ve been around for a while will remember that we and USS Mariner used to throw blog events once or twice a year. And by that I mean Dave Cameron would do all of the actual organizing and we would show up like lazy idiots. We didn’t have an event last year [...]

Do you remember May 23? You probably don’t off the top of your head, because once they’re gone most days tend to blend together.

Instead Jackson and Tacoma just swapped a pair of pitchers with Jorge Sena returning to Double-A along with Forrest Snow and Bobby LaFromboise and Steven Hensley getting their first callups to [...]

These are always a good time, so you should come. When: Saturday, July 14th, 3:00 pm (gate will open for us at 2:45). Where: Safeco [...]
Usually around this time of year, when I’m previewing the Aquasox, my refrain is that the draft just happened and consequently many important picks have yet to sign, therefore this roster may not be entirely representative of what the team may look like later in the season. Blah blah blah. Regardless of the signing deadline [...]
At 21-41, the San Diego Padres came in with the worst record in baseball. The team with the worst record in baseball drafts first overall the next season, and there’s no better draft pick to have than the first one. I don’t know how next year’s draft is shaping up, since this year’s just happened, [...]
