The Tacoma Rainiers are not having a great season. Going into the All-Star break, the Rainiers are in third place of the Pacific division with a record of 43-47. They are one game below .500 at home while three games under on the road.
The Rainiers issues are similar to the major league club where they lack in the pitching department. They have had several pitchers that have been called up to the big club. Dan Altavilla, Matt Carasiti, Matt Festa, and Tommy Milone all spent time in Tacoma. Altavilla, Carasiti, and Festa could be part of the team in two years; however, we know the bullpen can change so fast.
