00:00Cade Anderson made his big league debut.
00:03Naturally, the top pitching prospect in all of baseball comes up.
00:06He throws five innings, five hits, three runs, two walks, five strikeouts.
00:11Seemed like he wore down a little bit, Tom.
00:14You know, look, Mariners are going to do whatever they can to hang in this thing.
00:18And it did kind of smell a little bit like some desperation
00:21because they're starting pitching, Tom, quite frankly,
00:24hasn't even been as good as we thought, too.
00:26I'm pretty much out on the Mariners.
00:28I understand why the move came here.
00:31But I don't think Cade Anderson is going to step in for six or seven starts
00:34and, like, just surge them to the postseason.
00:37They've got to hit the ball.
00:38They don't hit.
00:39Yeah, I was just about to say, can Cade Anderson hit?
00:42Is Cade Anderson a two-way player that we're unaware of at this point?
00:45Like, it's exciting, and fans should be interested.
00:49Like, Mariners fans should be like, okay, this is fun.
00:50Like, A, our pitching has been struggling, and we can get them up here.
00:54It'll be like a little bit of an injection of life into the starting rotation,
00:57which is not something I thought I would have to be saying about the Mariners
01:01in late August.
01:01I'm like, oh, the Mariners are super sturdy at pitching, you know,
01:05improve the hitting.
01:05But that's not the case.
01:07So you get a little bit of an injection of life into the pitching staff,
01:09which is great.
01:10But ultimately, that's not a difference maker for the Mariners.
01:14The difference maker is being able to consistently score four or five runs
01:17a game, which they just don't seem capable of doing.
