You could make a case that when he’s been healthy, Bryan Woo has been Seattle’s best pitcher this year. And despite his struggles to begin this season, I think most people would say that Julio Rodríguez remains the team’s best player. Well, the Mariners had to make do without either of them today: Woo left his last game with a hamstring strain, though he makes a Pizza Rehab appearance in Everett this evening, and Julio was supposed to play but was lifted in the bottom of the first with quad tightness. In some ways (enough to frame a recap for a game nobody cares about), the game was defined by the men who subbed in for them, The Replacements.
