Heard on the Mariner Post-Game Show
From tonight's call-in post-game show on the radio with Mike Blowers and Tom Glasgow:
Ed from Edmonds: "I was wondering why Ibanez was batting left handed against a left-handed pitcher."
Blowers: "Ibanez bats left-handed against everyone. He's not a switch hitter."
Glasgow: "I guess we took care of that one."
The best part of this exchange, though, was Glasgow's seamless segue into a question for Blowers on experimenting with switch hitting. What a professional. He takes a ridiculously stupid question and turns it into something productive. And he did it in a way that left the caller feeling like he contributed to the discussion.
