The sailors succumb to the Red Sox, the writer succumbs to boredom

Every baseball game, no matter how small, has things that are worth studying. Whether it's a few good performances, a story or two, or promising prospects, there's always something to watch for, even in a really miserable season. That's really one of the best things about this sport.

Tonight, the stories were not lacking: JP Crawford and Shed Long had the call for the big leagues this morning – with Crawford making his debut in Mariner – Erik Swanson had just reaped his first league win and was looking to build on this momentum, the two teams entered today at .500 … make your choice! No matter which of these can be convincing! Who said baseball is boring?

Today's game was a highlight for anyone who said it.

In all honesty, Swanson looked pretty good in his first two rounds. A pitching error from Ryon Healy, the only nitpick, the right-handed man had a flawless fast-pitching order, and was able to take off, throwing four quick balls away at 95 miles at the time to hit Michael Chavis in second. Throughout his journey, he walked no one, he caused ten rotating strikes and he worked quickly on the mound, which is always a favorable feature from the point of view of observation. Oh, and he ridiculed his former high school rival Andrew Benintendi on 96 in the third:

J.P. Crawford also made his solid debut with the Mariners, staying on a very low ground to quickly get rid of his first blow with Seattle:

Crawford hit the ball strong every one of his four times today, lining up on the first goal and heading towards the deepest center-left before tackling a single from the opposite field to the ninth . Hey, one of those good performances I mentioned earlier! Domingo Santana had the other, dropping the cycle of the house. Imagine if he had done it in such an unbalanced game like this.

This is the only good news tonight. Seriously. No idiots'. After this magnificent elimination against Benintendi to finish second in the third, Jackie Bradley Jr.'s double ended up biting Swanson firmly enough, and three batters later was 4-0 Red Sox.

Swanson worked for the remainder of his outing and was shot in the fifth after giving up six points. The extra life of his fastball has faded, and neither his slider nor his change is misleading Boston's alignment. Rafael Devers blamed the absolute penchant for change to lead the fourth. Despite some fascinating peripherals, Erik Swanson does not feel like a Major League pitcher at the moment and should be sent back to Tacoma once Wade LeBlanc should return in about next week.

The rest of the party went off in the mood – a hot afternoon did not solve the problem. According to the actual score, Anthony Swarzak, Zac Rosscup and Mike Wright finished the game. Honestly, I have completely forgotten that Rosscup has even played today. Edwin Encarnación equalized the only leg of Seattle with a double for the eighth round. I guess he's always fine. At some point in the last few rounds, the heat coming up in my top floor apartment and the boredom of the game were too hard for my computer to handle, because it was overheating and extinguishing itself. I should have taken this as a sign.

Even in earlier eruptions this year, strangeness has sometimes made its way into the last few innings. Dylan Moore has started a round! Omar Narváez and Encarnación both played at second base last week! Such quirks are usually the only way to relieve your team of a game like today, and not see any of them in a 14-1 game.

This game was boring. This game was dull. This game was a synonym for the two terms you want. Frankly, I wish anyone reading this to do anything else with his Friday afternoon in addition to watching even five minutes of today's action. Tomorrow, however, the table of contents is fresh and presents different stories to watch: the big league debut of Shed Long should of course be the focus, but Felix is ​​taking his first steps to Fenway since the incident of ten points of the 2015 season it will be more successful stories to follow.
