Meanwhile, George Kirby’s quietly becoming the team’s biggest running-game problem, with the worst Net Bases Prevented in MLB, thanks to a drop in strikeouts and stubbornly high walk rates that let baserunners capitalize — like when a single stolen base against the A’s led to an RBI and a costly run. For a Mariners team already struggling to score, these preventable runs are a nightmare, and Kirby’s delivery makes it harder to fix on the fly. Execution is everything.
