Mariners' George Kirby risks conflict with experiment in Cal Raleigh's absence

Every now and then, there's a spring training storyline that fits in a gray area between "This is much ado about nothing" and "I've got a bad feeling about this." Which brings us to Seattle Mariners right-hander George Kirby and his PitchCom experiment.

Plus, another: Is Cal Raleigh going to be OK with this when he's back from the World Baseball Classic?
