Gilbert should be in above Kirby. Better WHIP, more K’s and #1 in league in innings pitched. Or put them both in.

Calling Cal’s line respectable is a big stretch.

"This is a weekly Monday column" <----- *What*?! Why is this the first I'm hearing of this? Has this been previously disclosed?! Am I not a detail oriented reader? Wait. Was I supposed to pick that up by noticing on my own??

"You needed a pen or a pencil to punch those perforated holes." <---- Wait. I thought this was "young" and "younger" tag team and I thought you were the "younger"?! Ohmy. I need to rethink my thoughts re: this substack.

"Instead of the Seattle Times sports section and Baseball Tonight, now you have dozens of baseball writers online telling you who deserves to make the teams." <---- Well sure but you also gotta think about who reads what. For example... I read one tag-team duo of young and younger. So that's where I'm getting my stuff. So.

"Now I will tell you who deserves to make the All-Star game for the Mariners, close to a month before the actual game. Surprise. I cannot think of one Mariners hitter who deserves to be named an All-Star." <--- Oof. And so then how are you going to vote today? =)

Well. When Cleveland comes to Seattle is the only time I cheer against Seattle. If we're on the road vs the Guardians I'll continue to root for the Mariners. LatsgoMariners!

When Elsner taught me, he was my age now. Let that sink in. I’m thinking of adopting my dad’s strategy of voting All-Mariner, but don’t know if I have the motivation to fill out a ballot. Appreciate your support for the Mariners, but more importantly, appreciate your support for this project. #JimReads
