DEFCON Dipoto

I think we have a new nickname for him, after reading this and finding out what was said before the season started:

As if we needed another reason to hate on him...

Mariners (4-8)
Preseason expectations: As usual, Seattle moved around a whole lot of pieces in the offseason, making marginal improvements in the hopes of better supporting Julio Rodríguez. But it was the Mariners' rotation, which they mostly kept together, that was supposed to get them back to the postseason.
What has gone wrong: Well, president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto was using the term “DEFCON 1” in his Opening Weekend press conference, which is not what you want to hear (even if he was saying the Mariners don’t feel they are at that state of maximum concern). The rotation has been the major issue, with Luis Castillo still searching for usual form, George Kirby surprisingly wobbly and Emerson Hancock getting drilled in his first two starts. Also, Rodríguez is somehow hitting .196.

Signs of hope: If Julio is hitting .196 at the end of the season, everything anyone has ever understood about baseball is wrong. That rotation can’t possibly pitch like that for much longer either … can it?
Panic level -- 7 of 10: It helps that no one else in the AL West is pulling away, but the Mariners are springing more leaks than anyone might have reasonably expected in the early going. It might not be DEFCON 1. But DEFCON 3? Probably.

Dipoto: I want to get rid of guys that strikes out a lot in 2023.

Also Dipoto: Dang, they’re still striking out a lot!

If anyone cares to know, they struck out 15 more times today to bring total up to 138! Good for leading the AL and 2nd in the majors behind the Dodgers…. But the dodgers also played more games and have about 100 more ABs.

Atrocious start.

Trying to solve the problem, only to have it made even worse.

The Mariner way(TM), people.

Seems like this organization is hitting that defcon button. 16 games into the season and the no.10 prospect is being called up.

Just weird call-up with Marlow and Brian Anderson more ready. I wish the kid well.
