## Resource

The Mariners’ experimental piggyback pitching setup featuring Luis Castillo and Bryce Miller is working on stats but caused friction behind the scenes—both pitchers frustrated after miscommunication led to Castillo being pulled early and Miller voicing discomfort. With a deep rotation, the team’s goal is to preserve arms, not move starters to the bullpen. After a team-wide conversation involving the manager, pitching coach, and even the president, they’ve clarified roles: Miller starts Sunday, Castillo comes in from the pen. Communication is now the priority as they aim to keep this strategy going and stay focused on wins. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
