Heading into the start of the 2021 season, most Mariners fans felt pretty confident that we were going to have a solid pitcher at the top of our rotation. Not necessarily an ace, but definitely a number one. Through two starts, Marco Gonzales has looked nothing like that.
He threw 69.2 innings in 2020 and gave up eight home runs.
