Mariners vs. Angels: Game Preview and Discussion

With the off day tomorrow, the Mariners are using today as an opportunity to get a few dinged-up players some back-to-back days of rest: Dominic Canzone (hamstring) and Luke Raley (elbow) are both out of the lineup, and Canzone, at least, won’t be available off the bench. Randy Arozarena is also getting a breather. Not getting a breather: Cole Young, who continues to be the Mariners’ iron man.

Cool lineup graphic, at-Angels. Former Mariner Donovan Walton deserves better (in many senses).

RHP Cole Wilcox is up in place of LHP Josh Simpson; read more here.

TV: Mariners TV with Aaron Goldsmith and Ryan Rowland-Smith, with Angie Mentink as field analyst

Radio: 710 AM Seattle Sports with Rick Rizzs and Gary Hill Jr. For those wondering where Shannon Drayer has been, she sustained a broken pinky finger on the roadtrip in Baltimore (road trip! from! hell!) and is having surgery on it this week, so she’s been off for a few days.

Programming note/reminder: Because of the World Cup, tomorrow is an off day. The series will conclude with its normal day game on Thursday before the Blue Jays come to town this weekend.
