last year batters hit .101 and slugged .162 while whiffing on 50.6% of their swings at the offering they’re at .067 AVG (1-for-30) and .100 SLG with a 50% whiff rate In light of Gilbert’s words and approach on Friday it’s fair to wonder whether that uptick in usage factored into his injury and whether he’ll back off his increased reliance on the pitch once he returns Evans has begun to take a sweeper-first approach to pitching Whereas last year he was using it 31% of the time so far this year his breaking ball usage has been 46% Evans’ slider spins at 2,800 rpm and has hellacious lateral wipe His reliance on it robs it of some bat-missing ability and Evans’ slider’s miss rate the last couple of years has been pretty average because he’s so often trying to throw it for strikes and hitters anticipate its arrival But because Evans’ fastball is fairly vulnerable he’s forced to lean on his breaking stuff up to 97) has only generated six whiffs across 200 total pitches so far in 2025 (including his big league start) hitters (in the minors and majors combined) have a .965 OPS against his mix of sinkers and four-seamers Evans can change pitch shape and speed off of his primary sinker/sweeper mix He’ll throw some harder cutters around 87 mph as well as some slower curveballs and changeups it’s really only the slider that’s plus he throws a good rate of strikes and gets groundballs he proved he could sustain this kind of stuff across more than 100 innings Without a single pitch generating plus miss he’s probably not going to be a star but he does enough to be a useful member of a big league rotation and his 45 FV grade is above the 40+ FV of last cycle when I thought Evans looked more like a nasty swingman or long reliever Evans made his major league debut on Sunday against the Marlins allowing two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out three in five innings; he got his first W in Seattle’s 7-6 victory Both his four-seamer and sinker sat in the 91-95 range and averaged 92.9 mph He threw six different pitch types including the two fastballs but generated just four whiffs and a 17% CSW rate from among his 78 pitches he threw 35-40 pitches to a pair of hitters from High-A Everett and “felt awesome.” He could begin a rehab stint as soon as this weekend either with Tacoma or Everett due to their proximity to Seattle and will build up his pitch count to the point where he can handle five innings Kirby’s spot in the rotation is currently being filled by Emerson Hancock who was lit for six runs in two-thirds of an inning in his first start on March 31 who scuffled in his 12-start stint with the Mariners last year (4.75 ERA allowing four runs in 11 innings while striking out 11 in starts in Cincinnati and Boston During Hancock’s brief exile to Tacoma, his spot in the rotation was filled by Luis F. Castillo, which isn’t what you call this guy when he makes a great start or pitches his way out of a jam with an emphatic strikeout The Castillo in question is a 30-year-old righty who spent 11 seasons beating the bushes before making three appearances for the Tigers in 2022 and then took a two-season detour to Japan where he pitched for the Chiba Lotte Marines and the Orix Buffaloes seven runs allowed (six earned) and seven walks As for “the real” Castillo — who early in his career had to escape the shadow of his namesake second baseman — he’s pitched to a 3.63 ERA and 3.93 FIP in a staff-high 32.1 innings thus far His performance contains all kinds of warning signs starting with an average four-seam velocity that’s dipped to 94.8 mph and 97.1 in ’22); by both Stuff+ and PitchingBot His strikeout rate has plummeted to 19.7% and his walk rate has risen to 9.9%; his 9.9% strikeout-to-walk differential is less than half what it was two years ago (20.3%) they’ve hit him for a 90.3 mph average exit velocity which may help to explain Tuesday’s walk total He also noted that he dealt with minor arm soreness earlier this month.] Bryan Woo has been the team’s best starter this side of Gilbert He’s gained nearly a full tick on his four-seamer (95.7 mph and the pitch has become one off the majors’ most effective thanks in part to the deception created by his low arm slot (27 degrees) Batters have hit just .154 and slugged .288 against it thus far while whiffing on 32.5% of their swings (10th among pitchers with at least 100 four-seamers thrown) His walk rate has just about doubled over his 2024 rate as well though the jump from an otherworldly 2.8% to a still-impressive 5.5% isn’t a big deal particularly when it’s offset by improved strikeout and home run rates We can probably expect that offense to regress somewhat if not all the way to the dire state of the pre-shuffle squad So long as Gilbert and Kirby are able to return as planned this team has a solid chance at a division title (44.6% per our Playoff Odds) or at least a Wild Card berth (29.1%) but we’ll see if that plan and those performances hold up One of these names doesn’t look like the others and probably shouldn’t have gotten this many starts (Mikolas) “He’s been one of the game’s most durable starters in recent years with 103 starts since the start of the 2022 season tied with Aaron Nola for fourth in the majors Dylan Cease and Miles Mikolas (both 104)” It’s easy to say a music video is just a music video not to be taken seriously or deeply analyzed when it’s viewed in isolation pop culture does not exist in a vacuum but rather in an ecosystem of messaging that tells us what is valued Taking both a birds-eye view and a microscope to many of the cultural moments we lived through and other elements of pop culture from the 1990s to the 2010s Sophie Gilbert makes the case that pop culture is a powerful force that shapes our view and treatment of women in public and in private in her new book Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves “Our culture teaches us everything,” she writes As someone who lived through the events and culture you excavate in Girl on Girl what would you go back and tell your sixteen-year-old self in 1999 from the lens you have now on the pop culture that shaped your generation So much of the culture of that moment was thrilling to me at 16 I would love to say that it’s okay to feel uncomfortable and that actually discomfort is a sign of strength not weakness — it signals that you know more than you think I remember so well feeling like I had to suppress my own instincts to be accepted but my instincts were actually pretty good even then On understanding how tabloid culture portrayed women in the early 2000s you write “disgust is one of the most powerful human responses and one of the least studied.” Did you learn anything in your research about how we can counter the use of disgust in the media that turns people against marginalized groups?Simply being aware of when disgust is being weaponized is really powerful as is learning to identify how it’s being triggered and to what end And it’s crucial to not ever let politicians or public figures who use disgust-engendering language seem like the new normal because what they’re doing is both extreme and dangerous What is a recent piece of pop culture that excited you about how women are portrayed I loved Dying for Sex on FX — how fearless Michelle Williams’s performance was and how willing the show was to really get into the complexity of desire I appreciated how willing Babygirl was to be ambiguous and to leave space for us to interpret it I also adored the last Bridget Jones movie — the pathos and humor of Bridget’s journey in

In this stretch, he’s been worth 13.4 Wins Above Replacement A huge part of his durability is rooted in his meticulous arm-care routine which made the injury that much more frustrating “There's only so much you can do,” Gilbert said everybody goes through stuff at some point So far this season, Gilbert has a 2.37 ERA (150 ERA+ where league average is 100) and leads all qualified starters with a 37.6% strikeout rate The Mariners had gone 4-1 in his first five starts but lost the one on Friday after he departed Sign up to receive our daily Morning Lineup to stay in the know about the latest trending topics around Major League Baseball Gilbert is the second All-Star within Seattle’s rotation who is already on the IL, as George Kirby remains sidelined with right shoulder inflammation that forced him to be shut down on March 7. Kirby rejoined the team this weekend for the first time since the end of Spring Training as he’d remained in Arizona since then while rehabbing The right-hander could throw live batting practice as soon as Monday’s off-day which would be the first time he’ll face hitters since the injury But because building arm strength and volume and a Minor League rehab assignment are still on the horizon within his recovery he’s still probably at least a few weeks away lot worse': Gilbert exits early with forearm tightnessApril 26th SEATTLE -- was on cruise control on Friday night carving through the Marlins’ lineup and needing just 29 pitches to work through three perfect innings Which made the Mariners’ call to the bullpen to begin the fourth that much more abrupt as Gilbert was relieved by journeyman long reliever Casey Lawrence to begin the inning Then one inning later in an eventual 8-4 loss the Mariners announced that Gilbert exited with right forearm tightness A source with knowledge of the situation told MLB.com that initial medical reviews revealed “modest” but “not zero” concern and specifically that there’s optimism that his UCL is still intact But the Mariners won't know more until after he undergoes an MRI on Saturday “I don't want to make it like a pity party about myself,” Gilbert said just kind of how I want to be known -- eating innings and being dependable and being healthy But I've been healthy and never really came out of a start Gilbert has never been on the injured list since his debut on May 13 2021 -- making every scheduled start since “I've got a lot of faith,” Gilbert said Gilbert experienced diminished velocity across all his pitches throughout the brief outing His four-seam fastball velocity was down 1 mph from his 95.6 mph season average his two-seamer was down 0.3 mph and his curveball was down 0.8 mph The heater topped out at 96.1 mph and was as low as 93 mph And he opted not to throw his splitter at all as that specific pitch can cause more strain on the forearm “We didn’t think it was a good idea,” Gilbert said adding that he began noticing the issue when warming up and that it “just never really went away.” Gilbert was seen with far less effort on his long tosses his warmup pitches were mostly without a windup “It didn't really get like a ton worse The slight drop in speed was notable given that the workhorse typically carries his velocity from start to finish compared to other starters who build it as their outing progresses I feel like there's just a hump you kind of got to get over,” Gilbert said “And I felt like I was almost at that point and April can be tough as you just get some stressful pitches to get over the hump it just didn't really get to that point.” The 2024 All-Star was pitching on an extra day’s rest after the Mariners had an off-day on Monday He also flew back to Seattle ahead of the team charter from Boston PT landing on Thursday night and quick turnaround to Friday’s series opener vs Gilbert had a 2.63 ERA and led all MLB starters with a 38% strikeout rate and 38.1% whiff rate (min while the Mariners had gone 4-1 in his outings The one area where he’s had hiccups is working deeper into games as he’s only pitched in the sixth inning twice after leading MLB with 208 2/3 innings last year Seattle is already without another All-Star in its rotation -- George Kirby, who has been on the IL since Opening Day but has been sidelined since early March with right shoulder inflammation.

SEATTLE -- On the heels of an off-day on Monday and with the Mariners coasting into first place over the weekend here’s a recap of where things stand on their injury front What’s the longer-term status of (right elbow flexor strain) The 2024 All-Star called the prognosis of his MRI exam “relatively” good news, which, all things considered, represented a far more promising tone than when he spoke on Friday shortly after suffering the injury While any arm injury for a pitcher is concerning the Mariners appear to have avoided something catastrophic they aren’t out of the woods yet on Gilbert who will be shut down from throwing for two weeks then be reassessed he wasn’t yet sure what rehab he’d be able to do until then with the rest of his body saying that he still needed to map out a short-term plan with Seattle’s athletic training staff But given that he’ll be shut down altogether that he’ll need to nurse the injury then rebuild arm strength and go through a Minor League rehab assignment How about (right shoulder inflammation) Kirby is going through what’s akin to a Spring Training ramp-up he could be cleared for a rehab assignment -- likely with Triple-A Tacoma or High-A Everett given their proximities to Seattle -- and make multiple starts building on inning- and pitch-count in each The Mariners almost certainly will want to see him reach the five-inning and/or 80-pitch threshold before being activated so calendar mathematics suggest he’s probably still a month away And (Tommy John surgery) Mariners general manager Justin Hollander indicated this week that the club plans to ease Brash back once he’s activated from the IL -- specifically saying that Seattle’s “usage with Matt at the beginning of this active period of the 2025 season will not mirror his usage in the 2023 season where he's pitching three out of four [days] or back-to-backs right away,” adding that they “are going to have to ramp him up and be cognizant that he is coming back from Tommy John.” Hollander added that Brash is “nearing the final stretch of rehab And (back spasm) The rookie third baseman isn’t expected to be sidelined long but after waking up with some back tightness on Sunday morning -- and with that day’s game being in the afternoon after a night game -- they opted to rest him and piggyback it with Monday’s off-day with the hope that he’ll be good to go on Tuesday vs Williamson has been everything that the Mariners could’ve hoped for so far hitting .310 with just a 19% strikeout rate through his first 11 games -- while playing as-advertised defense at the hot corner How have they been able to overcome these injuries Williamson probably wouldn’t be here otherwise Other guys who’ve also stepped up when given an opportunity have been infielders Miles Mastrobuoni and Leo Rivas who have a combined .402 on-base percentage -- which is exactly what manager Dan Wilson needs from lower-lineup bats And that’s not to mention Cal Raleigh and Jorge Polanco, who’ve played like All-Stars in the first month William "Owen" Hines will spend 17 years in prison for his part in the "Gilbert Goons" attack that killed Preston Lord and for a drunken driving crash that left another teen with traumatic brain injuries The 19-year-old was sentenced May 2 to 12 years in prison for manslaughter in Lord's attack at a 2023 Halloween party in Queen Creek He got another five years for aggravated assault in the drunken driving case Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Scott McCoy said the prison terms would be consecutive and include 456 days for time served followed by at least three years of probation "It is my sincere hope that what we do here today is the first step for all of you on the road to healing," McCoy said at the end of a nearly three-hour hearing in a courtroom packed with Lord's family Other victims of Goons beatings were there who all addressed the court and asked for the maximum sentence of 21 years Their statements were followed by a video montage of Lord McCoy said he was forced to weigh Hines' willingness to take responsibility his age and his history of addiction against his willingness to engage in repeated assaults and the substantial pain he caused "I don't know that I've seen anyone more anxious to plead guilty," McCoy said He noted Hines had many chances to correct his behavior after run-ins with the law but still participated in Lord's beating death McCoy at times seemed to struggle as he delivered the sentence pausing several times as he talked through his decision Lord used the words 'tragic' and 'senseless,'" McCoy said "If ever there was a case that was tragic and senseless dressed in an orange jumpsuit and flanked by his lawyers "There isn't one day that goes by when I don’t think about that night.” He read a written statement that was directed to his victims and their families as much as it was to the judge the teen he hit while speeding through a red light that he hoped God would continue to take care of him "I pray that recovery has been swift," Hines said "And you still will one day be able to do the things that you want to do to the fullest extent Follow your dreams and never stop fighting." He told the Lord family that Preston was an outstanding man; "a kind soul senselessly taken from this world." "He didn't deserve not one of those kicks or punches," Hines said adding it would be wrong to ask Lord's parents for forgiveness but instead referred to his struggles with addiction that began when he was 15 and first found solace from the bottle Hines' parents spoke on his behalf and called him remorseful and compassionate They said they were determined to help him become a man people could be proud of "His actions do not reflect his heart," his mother "Owen in his soul is not the person who kicked Preston He is the person who immediately stopped and was begging the others to stop He is the young man who is living with his remorse and shame and pain." Five of Preston Lord's relatives and a lawyer representing the family gave emotional testimony describing the teen's potential as a gifted student a classroom leader and an athlete who went out of his way to help people "There are no words that can truly capture the pain of losing our son," Preston's stepmother She said Hines needed to understand the magnitude of his actions "I want you to feel the weight of the pain you have caused," Ciconte said "I hope that every day for the rest of your life you remember his name spoke about how proud he was of his son and how his world had been shattered said Hines' actions undermined his words of contrition He said Hines was only remorseful because he got caught "His crocodile tears when he changed his plea to guilty to manslaughter and to the other attacks really mean nothing to me or to his victims and their families," Reich said Nick Lord said he was not disappointed by the sentence but said he would never be satisfied; that no sentence would ever be long enough "I'm not going to say that I am pleased," Nick Lord said "We have accepted the terms" of the plea deal Nick Lord said his family was bracing itself for the next cases and making sure the other six defendants accused in his son's beating are held accountable "I am prepared to do whatever it takes to see this thing through," he said He said Hines' sentence was "OK" and that he would "accept it." He said there were more important things to do now including ensuring the passage of Preston's Law which would make criminal sentences tougher for people found guilty of participating in group attacks Reich said Gilbert officials also need to be held accountable for turning a blind eye to a string of attacks by the Goons for more than a year before his grandson was killed Hines avoids first-degree murder and kidnapping chargesHines and six others were initially charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping charges in Lord's death Hines agreed to plead guilty to manslaughter during a settlement conference in March. He told McCoy that he was haunted by his role in the killing He said he was in the throes of multiple addictions — drugs alcohol and hallucinogens — when he and other Goons punched kicked and stomped Lord and left him lying in the street Hines also pleaded guilty in connection with two other nonfatal Goons attacks in 2022 and for hitting another car and injuring Zazick while driving under the influence in 2023 Prosecutors with the Maricopa County Attorney's Office dropped a kidnapping charge against Hines in Lord's death They also recommended supervised probation in the two Goons beating cases in Gilbert one at an In-N-Out Burger and the other at a house party The plea deal does not require Hines to testify against other people accused of attacking Lord Lawyers for the Lord family confirmed after Hines entered his guilty plea that there was no agreement requiring him to cooperate with prosecutors McCoy sentenced him to at least three years' probation following his release from prison for the beating cases He could be 36 years old when he gets out of prison Lord and his friends crossed paths with Goons at a chaotic Oct party that drew hundreds of teens from across metro Phoenix to an upscale suburban neighborhood The two groups of teens were unknown to each other The Goons targeted Lord's friends as they were leaving Lord was knocked to the ground with a punch to the face — then his attackers descended on him He died two days later from traumatic brain injuries without ever regaining consciousness According to a Queen Creek police report Hines told a friend on the night of the attack that he kicked Lord in the stomach He told the friend he felt bad and questioned why the others accused of beating Lord kicked him in the head A December 2023 investigation by The Arizona Republic tied Lord's killing to the Goons a gang of teenagers who recorded their blitz-style attacks on teens in parks and parking garages outside fast-food restaurants and at house parties went unchecked by authorities for more than a year The Republic has documented 18 attacks involving 95 people in Goons assaults since November 2022 Mesa and Pinal County began making arrests tied to the beatings in January 2024 The Queen Creek Police Department, which led the homicide investigation, began making arrests in March 2024. A Maricopa County grand jury indicted Hines along with Treston Billey and Talyn Vigil in connection with Lord's death The others charged in Lord's killing have all pleaded not guilty But Meisner and Sherman have requested settlement conferences in their cases scheduled for May 29 and 30 The screen showed Meisner's father was among those watching remotely Robert Anglen is an investigative reporter for The Republic.

contributed to this report MLB Trade Rumors By | April 25 11:26pm: Gilbert told reporters (including Adam Jude of The Seattle Times) that he expects to go for an MRI tomorrow Gilbert’s fastball was in the 94-95 MPH range throughout the night right in line with his 95.6 MPH season average but the M’s are obviously going to be extremely cautious with any kind of forearm discomfort Gilbert entered play tonight with a 2.63 earned run average and 41 strikeouts through his first 27 1/3 innings It was an even more impressive start than last year when he landed sixth in AL Cy Young balloting after posting a 3.23 ERA over an MLB-high 208 2/3 frames Skipper Dan Wilson will presumably provide more information postgame It’s impossible to know the severity this soon but it’s a concerning development anytime a top pitcher experiences forearm discomfort It wouldn’t be a surprise if the Mariners send Gilbert for imaging over the weekend He’s expected to throw live batting practice next week but he’s certainly still weeks away from a return to major league action Seattle Mariners “Ruh-roh” – Abraham Lincoln “Allright alright alright!” Abraham (a Bra hamming it up) in a Lincoln This season will not be fun if we lose him With how our roster is built we need all of our starting pitchers to be healthy to even think about the playoffs Make sure to get 2nd and 3rd opinions… Hoping that 2nd and 3rd opinion isn’t sarcasm With the recovery timeline of TJS and the seriousness of it to one’s arm I’d hope all players get at least a 2nd opinion With the timing 2025 is gone either way and bulk of 2026 Sucks cus the UCL endemic that’s been plaguing MLB has been depriving the sport and the fans from alot of its top talent The catch 22 here is the balance if having pitchers dial it back to ensure arm health over peak performance It seems it would be hard to quantify which would ultimately add the most to peak performance Ensuring arm health would lower pitch speeds and spin rates On the other hand keeping top arms in games would offset to whatever extent as the top arms provide more value at less than 100% opposed to back of rotation and those barely hanging in bullpen Would love to see someone try and quantify it tho as far as the effect on peak performance From a financials perspective it’s obviously viable as teams haven’t pushed for change As you can see there’s a typo or 2 I left In all seriousness I do wonder if pushing pitchers to the nth degree is ultimately providing the best overall product I also wonder how far pitchers would have to dial it back to prevent these injuries and if that would make that significant of a difference There has to a way to try and quantify the net gains in performance from either approach You need to be a bit more honest on the runs Hancock has given up Seems to me Hancock has secured his spot as the 6th man He seems to have that 1 game and after it gets assimilated into his stats and doesn’t show up on the stats as a glaring red stop light “Emerson Hancock” sounds like a fellow who and the lockout might cost you the ‘27 season Neither of the greedy owners or players think of their fans They can not play for a bit and lose fans to other sports only for us to have another session of juicing to bring popularity back to the game Still too early to say but doesn’t look good Hopefully they don’t drag this out if he ends up needing TJ surgery Gonna need him back asap even if it’s next year…. @M’s due to the timing if he has TJS delaying it a bit won’t affect much at this point Recovery would stretch well into 2026 and any appearances in 2026 would be severely limited It sucks but TJS has become part of the game Teams willing to roll the dice and hope peak performance out weighs the total time lost to injury Players willing to roll those same dice as that’s what it takes to get the insane TOR contracts I hope he goes under the knife sooner than later so we will get some of him back for 2026 The difference between that 14 and 18 is significant average TJS patient returns in 15 months and then is treated with caution They miss the playoffs by two games instead of one Hopefully it’s just some early season soreness There’s plenty of the good sh%t in Seattle Forearm tightness seems to always lead to TJS Either before the end of this season or the beginning of next Grok says “it’s plausible that 30-50% of MLB pitchers placed on the IL for forearm tightness eventually require Tommy John surgery either immediately or after failed conservative treatments” Then they say they are looking for a second opinion Ryan Weathers is another dude that I see next for a TJ Luzardo could be since that dude is injury prone Those who are gravitating to the worst case scenario are being frivolous Log in Register

Nick was on FaceTime with his kids when his business partner told police two men came into the business The Cordova family continues to have different questions about the investigation hoping it will lead to answers in his case "It's been five years of a nightmare," said Nick's mom was a night that started with a FaceTime call and ended with a 911 call made by Alysha and someone came in and started like beating him," said Alysha Alysha described her husband as the "most amazing father" and someone who would help anyone police released a video of a possible suspect from a nearby gas station and we are just very frustrated with the investigation and how it's going," said Theresa "Everything we are being told is pretty much the same thing we were told right after this happened," said Nick's sister Cherie Quick In the last few months, the Cordova family has taken to social media to raise awareness about their loved one's case. They have also worked to raise the Silent Witness reward even speaking out at the Gilbert Town Council Watch ABC15's previous coverage on Cordava's case in the player above "We've let them have their time to give us answers for the last four years and now we’re just tired of it," said Quick The family feels there is more that the Gilbert Police could do they have been asking why surveillance video from inside Nick's business was never released Alysha only recently saw that video personally after pushing police But she is currently still waiting on records requests the community jumped into action as the family launched a phone tree on Tuesday why don’t we have everyone call in on a specific day and just flood the Gilbert PD phone lines," said Alysha Gilbert Police said in a statement they are working with state and federal agencies but wouldn’t tell us who or what specific work has been done recently on the case We read one of the statements police sent to the Cordova family which said Gilbert PD was following up on all leads and staying in constant communication with their family "They have not been in constant communication with us." The family says they have been able to meet with the Police Chief but expect more when it comes to communication and follow-up "So if Gilbert PD thinks that if they just keep saying things to us to try and keep us quiet the family said they'll never be done making "Noise for Nick" ABC15 has reached out to Nick's business partner to see if he would sit down for an interview He told our team it was a "horrible situation" Ultimately he turned down the interview request Read Gilbert Police's most recent statement on the case below The Gilbert Police Department is actively investigating Nicolas Cordova’s case we’d like to emphasize that our detectives continue to actively investigate this case and have been in regular communication with his family throughout the investigation While we cannot disclose further information at this time as it may jeopardize our investigation and any potential prosecution the Gilbert Police Department stands firmly with the Cordova Family and the community in the pursuit of justice for Nicolas We recognize these senseless acts of violence have been extremely difficult for the Cordova Family and we are dedicated to sharing as much information as we can in a responsible manner."
