Series Thread: 3 Game With Orioles

[NWinAZ]

It still kills me that with a million bullpen arms available during the winter we trade a prospect for Montero.

White somehow fell to his knee swinging and missing at a ball down the middle of the plate. I don’t think I even saw Zunino do anything that pathetic. Do everyone and him a favor and stop trying to pretend he should be here

My point a few weeks back about we still don't know what type of player we have in Lewis and why relying on prospects to carry a franchise is so unlikely.

And with our Top 3 Farm System we can call up ???? to replace him... I am 100% agreeing with you, but acting out against these stupid rating systems. We have fantasy dreams in minors and no real call-up possibilities for most of our positions.

And for France as an option, he is 1 for 12 hitting this year while playing 1B. .179 for his career.

Bases loaded, no outs.

Let's see how they manage to fuck this up.

I'm guessing 3-2-3 double play.

 

[Podunkparte]

Well that worked.

Can we just start the game in the 8th?

You are welcome.

It’s not necessarily whos replacing him at this point. If there’s any chance of him being salvaged he needs to be sent down for some lower pressure ABs to work on mechanics

And here I thought the 6 man rotation and 9 man bullpen would mean everyone gets protected more with less injuries.

Just goes to show they will happen no matter whether you coddle guys or not

There is an option for White without sending him down, they can DH for him. Which there isn’t a real solution to sending him down without DFA’ing some guys and with 700 pitchers on the 40 man to go back and forth between AS of now minor leagues

Does any defense get hurt by the shift as much as the Mariners. I swear every game someone beats it against them. Cost them 2 runs so far

 

[Msfann]

Send white down or something. This is not working.

He just stands there flat as a board reaching for anything low and away.

I hate it and always will hate it. I would love to see stats that show it has created more outs than playing straight up would. People remember the outs it gets, but nobody talks about the runs it gave up (you and I do of course). I just don't see it.

I would agree if it wasn't for the fact we are suppose to be a major league team and bettering that is the goal. I get bettering the player can better the team in the future, but a good organization does both at the same time and is prepared for these things. Of course I said a good organization and wasn't necessarily describing us.

Mariners, veteran reliever Ryan Dull agree to minors deal​

Originally posted on MLB Trade Rumors | By Steve Adams | Last updated 5/5/21

The Mariners have agreed to a minor-league contract with veteran reliever Ryan Dull, tweets FanSided’s Robert Murray. He’ll presumably head to their Triple-A affiliate to join their bullpen.
Dull, 31, debuted with the A’s back in 2015 and had a huge 2016 season, delivering 74 1/3 innings of 2.42 ERA ball (3.33 SIERA) with what was then a well-above-average 25.2% strikeout rate and an excellent 5.2% walk rate. He’s never replicated that success, but Dull managed solid K/BB numbers and respectable fielding-independent marks in 2017-18.
A 2019 season split between the A’s, Yankees and Blue Jays, however, was an utter disaster for the righty. Dull tallied just 12 2/3 innings in the majors that year and was slammed for 19 runs (18 earned) on 25 hits (including five homers) and seven walks with 15 strikeouts.
Dull hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since that time. He’d signed back with the Jays on a minor-league deal last winter but wasn’t part of their 60-man player pool when play resumed last summer. Dull inked a deal with the Winnipeg Goldeneyes of the independent American Association back in January, but he’ll now return to affiliated ball just a couple of weeks before the American Association was set to commence its season.
Mariners relievers have been excellent this season, pitching to a collective 2.55 ERA that ranks third in the majors, while their 3.62 FIP is good for sixth-best among MLB clubs. There won’t be an immediate spot for Dull, but he’ll give the club an experienced depth option as the organization looks to manage workloads on a generally young pitching staff after last year’s shortened schedule.

So we make up for our win last night by COMPLETELY GIVING UP and not even bothering to show up today...

Typical. Absolutely typical.

Well they did say the infield coach had the infielders working out at 10:30 this morning so maybe they a bit tired...
