Sox 13, Seattle 3
There's that 13 run pool again. Another laugher for the Sox this year - good for the Baseball Prospectus adjusted standings - and the meat of the order continues to crush the ball. Thome, Konerko and Dye have all blown past +10 ERV on the year (Thome +17.2, Dye +11.8, Konerko +10.2).
There's almost never much to write about in this kind of blowout. It's fun to watch the ball fly out of the park, and to see Brian Anderson take a couple of walks and look much better at the plate. Boone Logan looked shaky again when called in the 7th, looked marginally better in the 8th, and fine in the 9th. He will, through the absurdity of the Save Rule, be credited with his first major league save. But Logan is far, far away from being ready for a high-leverage situation. He is only fit for mop up duty right now.
On an unrelated note, the Mariners usually have the best promo commercials. There is a lame one with people crashing into objects around the office to imitate Ichiro, but they do have a couple of good ones. One makes fun of Moyer, suggesting he was there for various firsts in major league history (first night game, 1938, etc.). Another has people striking an Ichiro-pose in various daily activities. Still not as good as the one where Moyer gets excited about seeing his pitches in kph, but good.
