Another big time start from Cam Schlittler yesterday out in Seattle, six and a third. Two hit shutout ball for him, no walks, seven strikeouts. So he is now the first pitcher in Yankees' history with no runs allowed no walks and 15 or more strikeouts across any two game, or I guess in this case, two-starred span. So pretty nice numbers for him right out at the gate. He left with a 4-0 lead. things got a little uncomfortable in the eighth

with the Mariners plate in a couple of runs off the combination of Camillo Duval and David Bednar. So 4-2 go into the ninth inning until Ben Rice would add some insurance for the visiting Yankees. He won't pitch. Swung on a deep drive. Right field. Tanton going back. Look it up. Goodbye. Ben Rice with a big, big home run. They give the Mariners, give the Yankees a little extra cushion here at Safecove at T-Mobile Park. I got it all. You got it all going, Jay. There you go. you know, I told you the story about my now white back in 2008. I think Dave was living in 2008 in that particular instance yesterday, as the Yankees did go on to win. And now Jay Buneer's up to trying to go back to back. Here's Tino Martinez with the Madanar's before he came to the Yankees. No. Yanks take the rubber game.

Big swing from Paul Goldschmidt along the way. Three-run Homer in the sixth to give his team some breathing room at the time. Back to Schlittler, no magic game plan or anything like that. Just go out there, keep it simple. Being in the zone, making good pitches, you know, defense was great. So, again, just having the confidence go out there. you know, again, no walks limit that.

And again, just attack the zone and do what I can to get, as far as I can with limited amount of pitches. I like to do this from time to time. How many? What do you think the number would be over under the amount of mariners in the history of their organization, Al Dukes could name.

Now, he's good at 80s baseball.

We've obviously talked about a few of them now.

There's one very famous one.

I think the line should be a little higher than normal.

What's the normal line? What's the normal line when I ask like Toronto Maple Leafs or Edminton Oilers, the normal

lines like two and a half.

So I think this should be at least seven and a half. Should it be higher than that? I think, see, I think he could hit double. How about, I'm going to go nine and a half. Nine and a half? Are you good with nine and a half? No way, nine and a half. So you think the line should be lower? No, I think it should be seven and a half.

All right, let's split the difference.

We'll make it eight and a half.

I'm still going over.

All right.

Mariners in the history of their organization. lower? No, I think it should be seven and a half. Let's split the difference. We'll make it eight and a half. I'm still going over. All right. Mariner's

in the history of their organization.

Eight and a half is the number.

Al Dukes go. Griffey Jr.

One. Arod. Two.

Edgar Martinez.

Three.
