They are still right in the thick of it.

In that division, yes, absolutely.

Yeah, it is kind of like champagne problems when you're talking about, oh, what are we going to do with Castillo and Miller?

Castillo hasn't pitched well, so there is that aspect to this quote-unquote feud.

He wasn't happy he got taken out of that game, and this was mishandled by the Mariners a little bit, in my opinion, and it's hard to do.

Dan Wilson said, so it's like, yeah, we're trying to piggyback two starters.

we're trying to keep them you know they want to keep the length because they understand pitchers you know starting pitchers especially like you know you need you need a bunch because they're going to get hurt throughout the season so you know the last time around Bryce Miller started Luis Castillo comes in this time Luis Castillo started Bryce Miller comes in and like there's really no easy way to do that you can't just set here's your pitch count and that's it because in this game Castillo like finally having some success he wants to stay in the game right

It's like, okay.

So whatever.

Again, champagne problems for them.

They'll be fine.

And yeah, two big offensive games for the Mariners.

And I think Chris Rose, I mean, this is not like a groundbreaking analysis, but doing all this, getting back into first place, you've gotten zero from Cal Raleigh this year.

And I think, you know,

When he comes back, obviously, that's a big part of your lineup doing it.

But, yeah, this is – they are the best team in the AL West.

They should end up being, by the season's end, one of the best teams in the American League.

Brendan Donovan, I think, is a big – they need him every day in the lineup.

They need Cal every day in the lineup.

The pitching is going to be fine.
