The Seattle Mariners have announced that they will be using a bullpen day in place of Bryan Woo’s rotation turn against the Tampa Bay Rays. This is an interesting move by the team, as it is not something that is seen often in baseball.
A bullpen day is when a team uses multiple pitchers in one game instead of having one pitcher start the game and go for a certain number of innings. The idea is to give the team more flexibility and to keep the opposing team guessing on who is going to be pitching. This strategy can be beneficial for teams that have a deep bullpen and want to keep their starters fresh.
The Mariners have decided to use this strategy against the Rays because they believe it will give them an advantage. Woo has been struggling this season and the Mariners feel that using a bullpen day will give them a better chance of winning the game. Woo has a 5.40 ERA this season and has not been able to get out of the fifth inning in any of his starts this year.
The Mariners are hoping that this move will help them get back on track and give them a chance to win some games. It is an interesting strategy and one that could pay off for the team if it works out. It will be interesting to see how the Mariners fare against the Rays with this strategy and if it will become a regular part of their rotation.
