Struggling Mariners' Bats: Can Crochett Be Their Savior?

I went 1-1 yesterday, but was THIS close to getting another 2-0 day in a row. How close? Well, the Phillies ended up losing in extra innings and I had them winning the game outright. It happens, but it would’ve been nice to claim four straight wins. Still a profitable day though as the Reds beat the Marlins for us to give us a plus money victory. Now we turn our attention to a different series as the Mariners take on the Red Sox.

I always think about what could’ve been with the Mariners. At one time, their roster had Randy Johnson, Ken Griffey Jr., Alex Rodriguez, and Edgar Martinez. Those are four of the best players ever at their respective positions and they didn’t win really anything. Oh well. Now, I feel like they are in another pattern where they won’t win anything. They have one of the best rotations in baseball, but the offense was abysmal last season. If that is the trend this year, they will be in the same spot. Speaking of pitching. The Mariners send out Bryan Woo to the hill to pitch today. Woo is 2-1 with a 3.12 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP. Those are pretty impressive numbers overall. Even better, potentially for him, is that he could have the upper hand with the Red Sox never really having faced him with just two hits in eight at-bats.
