see this series as us going 1-2 at best

Yep and a split would be good start.

1-2 is the best I see 0-3 would not surprise me

Seems like the benching today caught Choo by surprise. Wasn't it a lack of communication than got Banister canned?

 

[DT LUNA]

Right move.

He’d probably be part of a vocal minority.

Right move.

Precisely........ I’m hoping Woodward has that smart knack for the game that gives us a leg up. I’m sick of these aww shucks good ole boys, otherwise known as “players” managers.

I’ll remember wash favorably tho. At least he won us a playoff series.

For now. The season is still in its infancy stage. lol

He didn't win anything.

Choo's time as a every day player has passed. He is what he is, a DH.

Before wash, we were one of the only teams in MLB who hasn’t won a playoff series. We also hadn’t actually been to a World Series.

Wash helped take us off both of those terrible lists. For instance, I know for a fact that the mariners are one of the teams who has never played in the World Series.

Not a case of causation though.

Before Elvis, Feliz, Holland, Hamilton, Napoli, Cruz, Colby, CJ, Lee/Beltre we didn't do those things. Wash was dead weight keeping those guys from accomplishing what they should have accomplished. They won in spite of Wash and his sticking with Harrison/sticking with Young at cleanup/not putting in Endy for defensive purposes self.

It seems we are going to have a platoon at DH.

Indeed and it's good to see Pence is getting ABs.

Was Lester penned as the opening starter? For some reason I thought it was Hamels but see that is not the case now.
