The Mariners' hires seem to mirror what we see in the NFL -- building a staff with elite instructors. New manager Jason Kanzler is considered to be a hitting guru, and new bench coach Tanner Swanson is regarded as one of the best of the best in catching development.

One of the joys of my job as alumni director was working with the 1969 Mets. There were great teams, but perhaps none greater than the Miracle Mets. They are still revered six decades later. Yesterday we lost another of the guys when Jerry Koosman passed. metsinsider.mlblogs.com/jerr…

We saw the pitchers tear up the mound last night, most notably Cam Booser of the Rays, and the groundskeepers worked on it after the game.
The apron of packed clay, as prepared by the Rays’ groundskeepers, extends 7 feet from the rubber. Misiorowski lands 7 ½ feet from the rubber – or beyond the clay. Lauren Shehadi of the MLB Network talked with the groundskeepers and they told her that the Brewers are probably the only team that prepares that hard clay landing 7 ½ feet from the rubber…
