Series Thread: At home vs. Oakland, 7/6-9

[AceKeptic]

Four games. Against the A's. At home. Where we've really been struggling lately.

Outlook not so good for any of them, not with THIS pitching staff infection.

And right away, Gag-viglio gives up.

Another GAME OVER before we can even bat.

25-25 for the season against teams under .500... Lets see if we can remain at or above .500 against losing teams after this series.

Bad teams get excited when they get to play us...

 

[Destroydacre]

Turned this one on, saw it was 3-0, turned it off. Nope. If they come back great, not holding my breath.

 

[Lineman16]

Sorry guy's they suck right now. Hope I have to eat my words later!

 

[SeattleCoug]

Pretty remarkable how epically stupid this team can look. Two base running blunders down three runs

 

[SeattleCoug]

Getting shut down by the pitcher we traded to get Valencia. It really can always get more Mariner

 

[Cloud]

RIP this miserable fking season.
Fuck this team
Fuck this organization

Some still like torture to continue following this shit?

 

[SeattleCoug]

And in a pretty desperate game Servais is more concerned about getting his starter thru 5 no matter how bad he is.

what they are are a bunch of overpaid lazy fools. Is it the manager? Probably, but accountability starts with the players. These guys are a bunch of lazy fucks and Servais isn't the answer for them... he appears to encourage this brand of baseball. They were also lazy under managers of the past that included McClendon.

Need to bring someone in and pretty much get rid of everyone except a few on this roster and light a fire under everyone's asses.

You can see the laziness. You can feel the laziness. And this is the result.

Yesterday was a getaway game for Kansas City. Early start time, early finish time. So, I guarantee, the Ms partied yesterday. Partied hard. They are playing like a group of drunks today.

They need to sell. Cano, Cruz, Valencia, Seager, Dyson, and Felix if they can find a taker (they won't). Sell them all. Waive Gallardo. We already have the next generation in place: Haniger, Gamel, Heredia, Motter, Segura, Moore, Paxton, and O'Neill might be ready next year. There's your nucleus for the future. Build around them and get rid of the dead, drunken weight.

Amen to that! Unfortunately, only Piniella had been able to really do that, and no chance getting him back as skipper now.

I still think a Marine drill sergeant would do the trick for these prima donna pukes.

Okay, why are images not working here? Just when I thought I had it figured out, everything looks blank.

Lou was the only manager that seemed to run a tight ship and get guy's playing with discipline .... We haven't had that since he left...

600 ball for the rest of the season is 86 wins. In other words good night

Agree on all those except for Seagar. I just don't think this is the optimal time to deal him given the season he is having. Assuming he maybe rebounds a little next year, you can deal him then. Just don't think it makes sense to get 75 cents on the dollar. No point in having the Felix conversation. He would veto a trade and you wouldn't be able to get anything for him anyway. Cano I don't see them eating the money there

The biggest trade chip whether we want to admit it is Paxton. He will generate the most interest of who we have. Also he ain't young, already 28. If they rebuild, he will be past his prime by the time we are ready to compete.

Add his inconsistency and injury problems, I believe it would be time to deal him as well. Send him to Canada with all those other Maple Heads.

Mariners recall reliever Emilio Pagan from Tacoma. Option Sam Gavilgio to Tacoma. With All-Star break, Gaviglio not needed for 10 days.

Thank God! But why just ten days?

10 days is the length of the DL plus 10 days puts them through All-Star break.
