Mariners Game #111 Preview: 8/5/23 SEA at ANA
All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life
This series had a lot of potential, and so far, the Mariners have lived up to it. But while the first two games have gone Seattle’s way, with the vibes perhaps at their highest point of the season, the games themselves have been touch-and-go. Let us not forget that so far, the lesson of the 2023 Mariners has been that they’ll make you believe only to yank it away again. Can they finally get some actual momentum going? Gorgeous George will do his damndest against old friend and Wade LeBlanc Award winner (I assume), Tyler Anderson.
Lineups
With a southpaw on the mound for Anaheim, Scott will turn to Murphy, Moore, and Caballero. On the other side, I always find it aesthetically pleasing when a whole position gorup is stacked in the lineup, as the outfielders are for Anaheim tonight. I guess you could say the Mariners are doing that with their catchers.
