It's a pitching mismatch all right, just not the way a casual observer would think it is.
Also...
I'd say something about Adrian Beltre returning to Los Angeles for the first time since signing with Seattle, but every time I say his name I instinctively curl up into a little ball and cry myself to sleep.
LET'S GO MARINERS!
