Dive of the Week: J.P. Crawford is always hustling

Dive of the Week: J.P. Crawford is always hustling

Photo by Steph Chambers/ Always Baseball is a grinder’s game. It’s a 162-game season, year after year, with offseason workouts, six weeks of Spring Training, and the postseason—if you’re lucky—means even more work. It’s a lot of time on your feet, a lot of late nights, a lot of bumps, a lot of bruises, a lot of people poking and prodding and touching and injecting cortisone in your body. To even get to the bigs, you’ve got to endure years of endless bus rides and peanut butter and jellies, the sub-minimum wage life of a minor leaguer. There’s plenty of...

Mariners Game #59 Preview, 6/4/23: SEA at TEX

Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports Fifty-nine and feeling not so fine The Mariners will try to escape Texas and avoid a sweep, but it’s not looking great, with Nathan Eovaldi—who literally has not lost a game yet this season—on the mound for Texas. I guess the new bar is “just try to get out of there with no one [else] getting hurt.” Mariners Baseball Information Yes, J.P. Crawford is out of today’s lineup after banging his knee with Leody Taveras, who is also out today, after they collided at second base in a blowout game with a position...

Photo by Stephen Brashear/ The pitching dueled, J.P. flexed the power tool, and the interfering fan looked like a fool. Deserving of a warm welcome at home: Marco Gonzales, a quality start of six innings, only two earned runs on five hits, four strikeouts, and only one walk. Deserving of exile from anything close the the PNW: The bucket hat fan down the right field line, who not only drew the fan interference call, but doubled down on the buffoonery afterward.

Kelley L Cox-USA TODAY Sports George Kirby vs. Andrew Heaney After failing to produce any offense outside of a Ty France home run in support of an excellent Logan Gilbert start last night, the Mariners will try to avoid the same fate with George Kirby on the mound tonight. Lineups: A rare Sam Haggerty appears! Lefty Kolten Wong gets the day off, and fellow southpaw J.P. Crawford gets a second consecutive day off. Both are a little banged up—Kolten got hit by not one by two pitches yesterday, and J.P.’s knee is still somewhat swollen from when he took...
