He was a part of the Mariners-Yankees deal that sent Michael Pineda to NYY and Jesus Montero to SEA. He was a starting pitcher who only pitches from the stretch and is terrible. He was awful last season. This spring he had an ERA of like 72.34. He's fucking annoying to watch. I can't stand him.

Obviously.

He started the year out in AA, but pitched well so they moved him up. Mariners had some roster moves and brought him up again. THEY DON'T FUCKING LEARN. I DON'T CARE IF HE'S GOOD AGAINST AA BATTERS. HE'S TURRIBLE.

That'd be an improvement.

They actually brought him in after Texas hit a 3-RBI triple. I said to myself, "thank god, now maybe Hector won't let all the runs in." Gave up a double that scored another run.

Mediocre would be a vast improvement. I hate watching him pitch. I hate the results. He sucks. Go home Hector, you're drunk.

He's pitching from the wind-up. That's pretty cool. I can't remember if he always pitched from stretch or if there was just always fucking runners on when he was pitching.

I think the trail runner was called out when both runners were tagged while on second. The lead runner was running back to the dugout thinking he was out and then the coach told him he was safe.

I92 seems to have a good grasp of when a runner is safe, so maybe he will chime in soon.

The runner coming from first is out. But I'm just not sure how you score it with a guy going backwards on the base.

Not sure, would probably help to know why that happened in the first place.

The runner who originally occupied the base has first dibs, so to speak. The trail runner is out because that wasn't his bag.

Harper's 2nd HR today was ridiculous.

Shin Soo Choo reached base 6 times today.

Drew Stubbs is on pace to be on base 9 times today.

Mariners picked him up last week. He last pitched halfway through ST. I've watched both his Mariners start and I don't think he's pitched bad. He gets hit, but keeps the team in the game. They don't score for him. Then he had a terrible 5th inning today.

Braves/Rockies were snowed out last night. They are playing a double header starting soon today, and temperature at first pitch will be around 23. WTF

Uptons hit back to back HRs in the second game of the DH, making the second pair of brothers to do so in MLB history.
