Jonathan Broxton has come on here in the top of the ninth and it’s not going so well. He’s given up a walk, four hits and four runs. It’s now 8-6 Mariners with two outs. Two of the four hits have been doubles.

UPDATE: Here’s what Joe Torre had to say about Brox after the game.

“He hasn’t pitched in a week so I’m really not concerned about it,” Torre said.

Before today’s game, Torre mentioned that he was happy Broxton hadn’t been overworked at the WBC and that he’d try to make up for some of the innings he didn’t throw while with Team USA this week.

“You’re always concerned about overworking when you send somebody,” I’m pleased he got through it without any problems, and I’m sure he’ll be able to make it up this week.

“It’s tough stuff, especially when you don’t have the full spring training and you get to competing. Players, even though they know they’re not at their best, they’re still basically bred to compete. When the game starts, the national anthem’s played, they put themselves into that competitive mode, they can’t go halfway.”
