Summary: <p>Ambidextrous Pat Venditte made his Mariners debut and pitched quite well this week. We go over his accomplishments, the MLB pro day of Tim Tebow, and much more.</p> <h2>Athlete of the Week – Pat Venditte</h2> <p>The amphibious (joking) pitcher got some game time with the Mariners this past week and had a pretty decent outing. Venditte was pulled him up from the minors August 27th. He had been with the Toronto Blue Jays for most of the year, but was traded to the Mariners in early August.</p> <p>Venditte had a three up, three down fourth inning in his first work with the Mariners and had two strikeouts with his left arm and three with his right. In 4ish innings of work he had 5 strikeouts, one hit and one run. I’d say that’s a pretty good start for a man who was just in the minors. Adrian Beltre tried to get cute and turn his helmet around backwards. </p> <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p> <h2>Would You Rather</h2> <p>Would you rather question of the week: take a fastball to the face from Aroldis Chapman (but it’ll only hit your nose) or a hard hit across the middle from James Harrison?</p> <h2>Toss Up</h2> <p>Ranked teams upset opening weekend vs. JT Barrett rushing touchdowns on 9/3. Geoff thinks there will be more ranked upsets than JT Barrett rushing touchdowns, but we both agree Barrett will have 2. John thinks there will only be 1 ranked game upset. Geoff also selected App State to beat Tennessee, so that tells you a little about him. </p> <h2>The Pick em is back!</h2> <p>Be sure to join our <a href="http://www.nflpickspage.com/pool.php?poolno=5059&view=">NFL Pick ’em League</a>.
