Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.

About .75 Sutton then, full Sutton now. (Note though the important conversion metric: 10 Suttons = 1 Skip Caray)

And how. Don and Jim Powell are pretty decent though. And Mark Lemke for having the least radio-ready voice possible.

Saw Justus Sheffield pitch for the first time on video just now and drat. I want to say he needs to up his control just a smidge, but it may have also been a matter of framing/benefit of the ump. Mid-90s heat and a complement of off-speed from a lefty? I am very much on board.

Hwang is having a good spring so far too, along with Mac Williamson.

Are the Padres and Mariners considered natural rivals for Interleague because they are both West Coast teams that have rarely been good or relevant other than occasionally having cool players?

Mustached Demon

I think it was more the other west coast teams had natural rivals within their cities. Not sure about Col/Ari.

Mariners have had a steady stream of likable dudes from as long as I can remember (I turn 30 in a week). Edgar, Buno, Griffey, Ichiro, The King... Randy Johnson will always be a mariner to me since my first game was him pitching in the King Dome. I could have bias here in likable dudes since I grew up in northern Idaho and they were close.
