Lazaro Montes absolutely WENT OFF yesterday, crushing an emphatic blast that put our Mariners over the top in a nail-biting 5-4 win against the Rockies. That’s the kind of clutch hitting we need, a real “feel-good” moment for the Emerald City!
Montes Delivers, Miller Takes the Mound
Seriously, that 5-4 victory over Colorado was huge, and Montes’ emphatic blast was the absolute difference-maker. When he connects, that ball just disappears, and you could feel the energy surge through T-Mobile Park. We needed that W to keep the good vibes rolling. And guess what? We’re not slowing down! Bryce Miller is stepping up to the mound today, slated for a 5:10 pm PT start. We know Miller brings the heat, and after a win like that, the momentum is all ours. Let’s keep that winning feeling going and support our guy Miller as he looks to shut down the Rockies again. Every game matters right now, especially when you’re trying to build early season steam.
The J.P. Crawford Conundrum
Alright, but let’s get real for a second. We gotta talk about J.P. Crawford. Zac Hereth at Seattle Sports is out here wondering if J.P. has even done enough to secure his spot on the *2027* Mariners roster. What?! That’s a gut punch to even think about. J.P. has been a leader, a staple at shortstop, a guy who bleeds green and blue for this team. To have that question mark hanging over his head, and ours, this early in the season? It’s something Mariners fans need to be thinking about. We expect consistency from our core guys, and it sounds like some people are looking for more.
Around the League Quick Hits
Shifting gears a bit, the rest of the league ain’t standing still. Over in New York, Aaron Judge is on the injured list *again* with a calf strain. Rough stuff for the Yankees. Meanwhile, Cade Cavalli got a nice four-year contract extension from the Nats, buying out a year of free agency. Good for him. Not so good for Marlins fans: Pete Fairbanks is getting thoracic outlet surgery, totally ending his 2026 season and possibly delaying his 2027. Yikes. But hey, Edwin Diaz is back for the Dodgers after missing a month with a neck injury, so good for them. And huge props to José Ramírez, who just notched his 1,000th career RBI, making him only the second Guardians player *ever* to do that. Insane!
The Mariners are back at it tonight with Bryce Miller dealing against the Rockies at 5:10 pm PT. Let’s make some noise for Miller and keep this winning streak alive. We gotta stay locked in, Emerald City, and show the league what our Mariners are made of!
