The M's have called up Brandon Morrow to take Bedard's roster spot, while he's on the DL. Question for the Mariners: What about Morrow's line in Double-A made them think he was ready to come back up? In 7.1 IP, Morrow had given up just three hits and no runs, but had 6 walks and 8 strikeouts. Clearly, finding the strike zone is still an issue...

Meanwhile, Cesar Jimenez has thrown 7 innings for the Rainiers, giving up 4 hits, striking out 11 and walking no one. I'm a fan of Brandon Morrow, but I think the M's should have left him in AA to keep working on things. He should be in the rotation down there, but that's a whole different can of worms!
