It’s hard to imagine making a worse first impression than Cory Gearrin made to Mariners fans. He did kick off his Mariners career with three scoreless outings (he apparently pitched in the first Japan game, which I do not remember at all despite being there), his next two were capital-B Brutal. Thirty total pitches, seven strikes, five walks, and just one out recorded. To make matters even worse, he was slow, slower, and slowest on the mound; the only thing more unwatchable than a guy who can’t throw strikes is a guy who does so at a snail’s pace.
Cory Gearrin might be fixed
