Mariners Moose Tracks, 7/12/20: Intrasquad Game 2 notes, Kyle Lewis, ghost Futures Game, ghost towns

In case you missed it, yesterday was an intrasquad game for the Mariners that was sadly not televised nor broadcast in any way, shape, or form. I say sadly because this was an especially toothsome matchup, featuring top pitching prospects and yet relatively unseen pitchers Logan Gilbert and Brandon Williamson, along with a host of other young prospects. While we appreciate very much the fact that the Mariners are televising workouts at all, including intrasquad games on Fridays, to have nothing on weekends seems particularly rough for the people who work during the week and aren’t able to livestream practices nor scrimmages, in addition to being a golden opportunity to get fans (in the NW market and beyond!) invested in this next wave of Mariners prospects. We hope the team will reconsider, especially as there’s a non-zero chance intrasquad scrimmages might be the closest thing we see to baseball all year.
