With two games left in the regular season, the Seattle Mariners have switched up the plans in the starting rotation. The team will start rookie Emerson Hancock on Saturday against the Oakland Athletics while Logan Gilbert will take the ball on Sunday.Per Dan Wilson, Emerson Hancock will start on Saturday and Logan Gilbert will start on Sunday.
Per Dan Wilson, Emerson Hancock will start on Saturday and Logan Gilbert will start on Sunday.It's not surprising to see Hancock pitch in the final series of the year instead of Bryce Miller, who would have started Saturday had the Mariners been in contention. Miller has already thrown 30 more innings this season than he has in any other year of his professional career, so getting him a little extra rest before the offseason seems smart.
As for Hancock, he has filled in admirably on several occasions for the M's this season. Starting in the year in the rotation for Bryan Woo and then filling in for Woo and Luis Castillo at various other times, he's gone 4-4 with a 4.72 ERA. Though he doesn't have the ceiling of the rest of the M's rotation, he throws strikes and generally keeps the ball down in the zone.
It is a bit surprising to see Gilbert start on Sunday, considering he's already eclipsed the 200-iinning mark this season. It would not be shocking if he threw only a few innings so that he could get one last ovation from the T-Mobile Park faithful.NEW PODCAST IS OUT : The latest episode of the "Refuse to Lose" podcast is out as Brady Farkas talks about the M's being officially eliminated from the playoff race and the massive missed opportunity in 2024. Furthermore, he talks about the controversial comments from Seattle Sports 710 host Mike Salk and he's joined by outspoken M's critic, Aaron Levine of FOX 13.
