We open the show with a discussion of Hisashi Iwakuma’s rough spring training. Is anybody concerned with his poor command? What do we need to see from Iwakuma this year? Can he return to form? We discuss during this week’s Interesting Stat of the Week segment.
Of course, you cannot talk Mariners rotation in April without discussing the brutal news of Drew Smyly. He is going to miss a minimum of 6-8 weeks with a flexor strain in his forearm.
Can the Mariners weather storm? What do we expect from Ariel Miranda?
