Get to the freaking auto!

From the Quantum Fiber Studio, this is Brock & Sock on Seattle Sports.

Brock Heward and Mark, Matt, Mark, sorry about just...

Mike, Mike.

Heward, not exactly Joe Kat there in the pocket.

Now here are your hosts, Brock Heward and Mike Salk.

All right, we gotard and Mike Salk.

All right, we got some breaking Mariner News as September call-ups are here,

but they've gone a little farther than you might have thought.

So how about this?

Mariner News this morning.

Harry Ford called up.

He selected from AAA Tacoma, as is Leo Rivas, who is recalled from Tacoma.

So those would be two, but that's not it.

They also have called up Luke Jackson, a right-handed pitcher.

So in order to make room, Sauron Lough has been,

Sauron Lough has been, Sauron Lowe has been designated for assignments and Donovan Solano's been released.

Interesting.

Donovan Solano, after all of this time, all of the survival, they have released Donovan Solano.

So there you go.

It's interesting.

They don't have to DFA him. I don't know why you can just release him without Diffing him, but somehow they can. I don't really understand entirely how that works. But whatever. It doesn't really matter. Solano's been released. Lowe designated. My guess is he'll end his way back up with Tacoma when it's said and done. But they call up Harry Ford and Leo Rivas. And I think it makes perfect sense, right? Start thinking through why this is and how it all went down. I love the idea of calling up Harry Ford. Said it earlier this morning. I think that they could really more than any other team use a third catcher. Why? Because on the days that their starting catcher doesn't catch, he DHS. And the guy who ends up starting a catcher, Mitch Garver, is someone you'd really like to at least have the option of pinch hitting or pinch running for late in the game. But you can't do that if it means that at the end of that inning, Cal's got to come in and catch. And then you lose the D.H. And now your pitcher's hitting. Not an ideal situation. So having Harry Ford on the lineup, even if he doesn't play, or having him in the roster, rather, even if he doesn't play, even if he barely starts, barely plays at all, totally fine. He just gives you another option. And this is what September call-ups used to be all about, giving a young player a taste
