I’m shivering on my couch. I’m wrapped up in three blankets, my head is hurting, and Brad Adam is telling me about a charity auction. This is the sickest I’ve been since the pandemic started, and the Mariners are supposed to face off against Shohei Ohtani.
The bad news started before the game. Eugenio is on the 10-Day IL with a broken finger; we won’t see him make a play again in 2022. And then, right as the broadcast switches to the booth, we find out Julio was scratched from the lineup with lower back tightness. This sucks.
