Mariners and Yankees meeting a matinee rubber match tonight today.

First pitch is going to be at 1.10 p.m. George Kirby on the mound. We're going to send you to pregame at noon.

Before then, thankfully we don't have to talk about it much, but we do.

Got to talk about yesterday's game. Mariner's bats just absolutely went cold in this one.

We also got some more clarity on the Mariners plans at shortstop going forward.

So let's start with a quick look back at yesterday's game.

I was going to go the opposite, but I'd prefer to flush that.

So before we get to the latest on the shortstop situation, let's start with what we saw in yesterday's game.

And in bump, I think it's just an offense that hasn't gotten going yet.

Nothing more complicated than that.

No, it seems like they're still settling into this situation over here.

And then when you give up two runs that first inning, right, you feel like guys start to press a little bit.

You're like, all right, we've got to get things going.

But no, it's, you know, I was laughing at it because they're three and three. And one of our requests were, just don't finish each month below 500. Yeah, we said, just be above 500. Hey, they're floating right now. Listen, they're floating. You got a chance to get above 500 with this one. And that is a passing grade from us. I think it was great to see Naylor get his first

hit, and I loved him signaling to keep the ball. Solid. Great. A perfect throw. A perfect throw by

Cal to get a runner out. And then unfortunately, an error later in the game. I think it was just trying

to stop the bleeding and

didn't quite, you know, get balanced and I don't know. It's been a tough start for players
