Osmer Morales, Isaac Sanchez, and Jake Zokan go the distance for the Mariners' High-A affiliate
On a nightly basis, the game of baseball makes damn sure it proves to be one of extreme oddities.
On Friday night in Seattle, we saw Wade LeBlanc–a soft-tossing lefty who hadn't stood on a major league mound in almost two years–outduel the Cardinals' fireballing righty, Carlos Martinez, for six innings. A little more than 24 hours before that, we watched the same Mariners team lose on a walk-off wild pitch. Baseball is weird and hectic and an emotional rollercoaster, and those who gamble on it have to have a little bit of psychopath buried somewhere within them.
