Last night the Mariners played a very bad game, which you can read the recap of here, and please do, because poor Connor had to watch the whole thing and write about it. The game got off to a rocky start when Paxton was lifted in the first inning, but it turns out that it was mostly precautionary, because the Mariners engage in this radical practice where they take care of their pitchers instead of frog-marching them through potential injury and doing long-term damage [scroll down to the old “Around the League” section to pick up that shade, if you haven’t already].
