7-8-9 up for the Mariners.  They're probably going to look to spoil this before swinging for the fences.

If one tries to bunt we break out the torches!

He's at 101 pitches right now.

So far this year:  97 93 88 96 101 93.

So a 10 pitch or less inning wouldn't be too terribly out of line.   It would be the season high.

10 pitch inning would be great.

This umpire....

Good LORD this is intense!

I'm glad Means is pitching today.   If there's anyone on the staff who lives up to the late Ray Miller's mantra of "Work Fast, Change Speeds, Throw Strikes", it is Means.

If you believe in that sort of thing, Ray must certainly have enjoyed this effort by Means.

My palms are sweating...

First pitch strike to 24 of 25 batters now.

Ruiz came on for defense at 3rd?
