Can't get enough baseball? The Rainiers are on Comcast Sportsnet NW tonight, and Mauricio Robles is taking the hill, so it might be worth your time to tune in. Alternatively, if you're interested in following along but either don't have the channel or don't have a TV:
Robles already went 1-2-3 in the first, with a strikeout of Established Major Leaguer Everth Cabrera.

How far away do you think Robles is from the majors?
dba - August 25, 2010
What is it? 30,40 miles?

Depends
If he sticks as a starter, mid-2012 is my guess.
If his command problems persist and he gets put in the bullpen, possibly late next year.
c_dowley - August 25, 2010
That seems about right
dba - August 25, 2010
That sounded dramatic
Eyeball Kid - August 25, 2010
Tugger!

Dear Rob Johnson,
You’re horrible.

Cory Luebke's hat is evil
Eyeball Kid - August 25, 2010
When I first opened gameday I was confused as to why Josh Lueke was pitching already.
Then I realized that the picture wasn’t Lueke’s, nor the first name, and on the second look, his last name wasn’t Lueke either.

Strikeout number six
Eyeball Kid - August 25, 2010
Walk number three

Miguel Batista #2?
Oh hell no.
dba - August 25, 2010
Those concerns can be assuaged by the fact that it's the fourth inning already.
Eyeball Kid - August 25, 2010
Nah, Robles actually gets these things called strikeouts.
Coach Owens - August 25, 2010
Make that four
Eyeball Kid - August 25, 2010
Yay Ackley!
Eyeball Kid - August 25, 2010
Smoak time
dba - August 25, 2010
I really wish Smoak would play better.
wetzelcoal - August 25, 2010
What's going on with him?
dba - August 25, 2010
Sounded he hit that pretty hard but straight at the fielder.
Line drives = good.
Eyeball Kid - August 25, 2010
However,
Dingers=great.
dba - August 25, 2010
I'm not saying hes playing bad
Just not good enough to inspire a whole lot of optimism about his immediate future.
wetzelcoal - August 25, 2010
YOU ARE NOT A COMPUTER
Eyeball Kid - August 25, 2010
And another walk
dba - August 25, 2010
Is Pineda shut down for the rest of the year?
dba - August 25, 2010
No, he's slated for tomorrow night at last check.
I’ll be there to (finally) see him pitch.
c_dowley - August 25, 2010
Also, why on earth did we pick up Tug Hulett again?
Coach Owens - August 25, 2010
Sympathy? A bit of experience? A bit of depth?
Who knows?
dba - August 25, 2010
Because he's awesome.
Eyeball Kid - August 25, 2010
At least the Rainiers aren't batting him third like the Royals batted Willie Bloomquist.
(Who, somehow, hit a homer today)
Coach Owens - August 25, 2010
The Mariners grabbed Woodward and the Rainiers need infield depth for their playoff run
Jeff Sullivan - August 25, 2010
Oh
Coach Owens - August 25, 2010
Playoffs!
dba - August 25, 2010
6 walks in 6 innings.
Not good
dba - August 25, 2010
At least he pitched six innings
First time he’s done that in AAA. He dominates for four innings, then his command falls to pieces.
