I was really surprised that the Mariners DFA'd Martin.

Starting to wonder if he porked Dipoto's wife.

It's not like Gamel hasn't been horrible since July 1. And yes I mean horrible at the plate. Just send him down for 10 days and keep the better defender. But hey at least we will have a fresh bullpen

So go ahead and DFA Martin again when the roster expands in 7 days. Awesome move. This time around he's not gonna clear waiver.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Well, now it looks like Robbie will be the latest addition to the DL.

 

[Tapey]

2 pitches 3 feet off the plate strike, pitch at the top of the strike zone but still well with in the strike zone ball.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Well, now Heredia just got hit in the wrist. Might as well just put all our players on the DL now.

 

[seahawksfan234]

That decision to DFA Martin is looking better and better, isn't it boys?

 

[Tapey]

It took them 50 seconds to determine that it didnt hit him?

 

[SeattleCoug]

Heredia may be hurt. Good thing we didn't DFA and outfielder for no reason today

Gamel since July 1st:

.219/.267/.314

Not pretty.

About to lose 2/3 to atlanta. Just end it already please.

 

[NWinAZ]

Well, now it looks like Robbie will be the latest addition to the DL.

His Hammy wasn't use to sprinting I guess.

 

[Cloud]

And there's your 2017 season. Bravo guys.

 

[NWinAZ]

I love the decision to but Phelps in the game with runners on 1B and 3B and 1 out down by a run. I mean he hasn't pitched in at least 10 days and the batter was 3 for 8 lifetime against him so ya...

Go M's...I had to..It felt good!

Details surrounding the contract of Mariners skipper Scott Servais weren’t reported or announced when he was initially hired, but MLB.com’s Jon Morosi reports today that Servais is signed through the 2018 season (Twitter link). That would indicate that the first-time manager inked a three-year deal in his first term at the helm in Seattle. While Servais’ Mariners aren’t guaranteed a postseason spot, they’re right in the thick of the Wild Card hunt, sitting just two games back. That’s an impressive feat for a Mariners team that has seen Felix Hernandez, James Paxton and Hisashi Iwakuma all spend significant time on the DL while projected rotation member Drew Smyly was lost for the year due to injuries without ever throwing a regular-season pitch.

Why not bring someone else in for the last out (pitcher).. DH him in the 9th...then bring Diaz. Waste of an out.
