You know things are bad when the Mariners are about to give up on you…
Top 1: Jack Cust called out on strikes against Justin Verlander
Top 4: Cust struck out swinging against Verlander
Top 5: Called out on strikes against Verlander
Top 8: Called out on strikes against Al Alburquerque
Top 9: RBI double off of Brad Thomas
Final Line: 1-for-5, 2B, RBI, 4 K
NOTES: With his golden sombrero against the Tigers on Wednesday, Cust has now fanned 29 times in 79 at-bats and sports a .177/.316/.203 slash line. The fading slugger has struck out multiple times in eight of his 22 games.
Total 2011 Sombreros: 14
It just occurred to me that Cust has the physique of a garden variety division 3 collegiate skipper.
Well said, Mevs. He’s not in the line up for that manly physique. Actually, I’m not sure why he’s in the line up.
