Stove 30: Seven in a Row! The young guns continue to thrive
The Mariners are on a roll, and it's not just their winning streak that's got everyone talking. This episode of the podcast delves into the team's recent resurgence, and what might be behind it. From the impact of the piggyback rotation to the emergence of young stars like Cole Young, the conversation covers it all.
The hosts discuss the team's improved defense, timely hitting, and lights-out bullpen. They also touch on the platoon situation, and whether it's working or not. With the trade deadline approaching, they consider what the team might need to take it to the next level. And, of course, they can't resist talking about the young players who are making a big impact, like Cole Young and Colt Emerson.
One of the key takeaways from this episode is the importance of playing players in positions where they can succeed. The hosts argue that the Mariners are doing just that with Luke Raley, who's thriving against right-handed pitching. They also discuss the potential impact of adding a player who can hit both lefties and righties, like Byron Buxton.
