206 Clicks: Mariners Offense Goes Beastmode

Mariners 21, Rangers 8 [box]: Eight runs is a large amount of runs given up. Then I realized 21-8 is the same as 13-0, and 13-0 is an awesome win margin, especially for the usually punchless Mariners lineup. It's cool that every starter had at least one hit. It's cool that the Mariners had two eight-run innings. It's cool that Justin Smoak had two home runs and six RBIs. It's awesome that Hisashi Iwakuma entered the game in the seventh inning and recorded a save with a 13-run lead. Next game: Friday, Seattle (22-30) at Chicago (29-22), 5:10 p.m. PT, ROOT Sports, nine games back.

Wednesday's Tweet(s) of the Day:

  • The Colorado Rockies designated Jamie Moyer for assignment on Wednesday, marking the possible end of his career. I'm all for the Mariners signing Moyer for the rest of the season to conduct a farewell tour. As long as he doesn't cut into the development time for the younger players, if he can still pitch, I don't see how this is a bad move. Thoughts?
  • Sounders 5, Silverbacks 1: Seattle advances in the US Open Cup; Sammy Ochoa chipped in two of the Sounders' five goals. They'll face the winner of Timbers/Cal FC next week.
  • Nigel Williams-Goss a class of 2013 point guard verbally committed to the Huskies on Wednesday morning. He also pledged to do his best in recruiting Aaron Gordon, Issac Hamilton and Marcus Lee to join him at Washington. Williams-Goss appears to be a well-articulated and smart student off the court, read this blog post he wrote explaining his decision — you will come away impressed.
