Series Thread: Mariners vs Diamondbacks: Aug 24th - 26th

[Duders]

Well, I've found my seat for game two. Have to work tomorrow, so hopefully I see as good a performance as yesterday, today.

Go Mariners!

Hey megalodon30- Just curious where about are you sitting today? Are you anywhere close to the field or the M's dugout side?

 

[Duders]

I sure hope it doesn't come back and bite us for leaving the sacks juiced with 1 out and nobody plated except Hero Haniger's bomb.

16th row, Mariners dugout side.

 

[megalodon30]

2 on, nobody out for the pitcher, and he comes up more clutch than Seager. LOL.

Go Mariners!

 

[megalodon30]

They afraid of Mitch now.

 

[megalodon30]

Bases loaded strikeout.

 

[megalodon30]

8 left on base through 4. Ugh.

you can say that again ...ugh

two times bases loaded.../and scrach

16th row, Mariners dugout side.

Thank you. Nice area to be sitting at. Was hoping you were kind of close to the M's dugout so you could throw popcorn, or something, at Seager for not helping the team out with some offense for that $18.5 mil salary this year. ( $114,000.00/game or $12,500.00/inning)

The book on Ray is lay off his slider and attack his fastball. Mariners approach is to lay off his fastball and attack his slider. The man has a 4.91 ERA and has walked 44 in 80 innings. Looks like they need to fire another scout apparently.

 

[Duders]

Ugh

a guy to look at in the Dacks org..he is just at there AA..but he has 177 SO in 137 in pitched....so that is real good

He was their minor league spotlight player at the ballpark tonight.

 

[megalodon30]

Really starting to waste a good start from LeBlanc. Expect the offense to do better against a guy struggling to find the strike zone.

 

[ulmax]

Dbacks 1 run on 3 hits ...mariners 1 run on 5 hits

make that 4 hits lol

lablanc strikes um out...nice

so scrach the rest...and start right here...to get at them

 

[Anointed One]

I just tuned into the game and I’m like who the heck is Frenchy

 

[megalodon30]

Wade still hitting better than Seager tonight.

Send Seager down to Tacoma, or any where out of this ball club. He has messed up more sacks loaded than anyone else-even when he's put farther down in the line up. This team is terrible with bases loaded and only 1 out.

Would make sense to send him down, but right now our replacement would be Ryon Healy.

As bad as Seager has been (and ya'll know I'm the first to complain about him), his offensive numbers are arguably a bit better than Healy, and although Seager's defense isn't what it was in 2016, he still is better than Healy defensively.

Only reason to send him down is if you think him tinkering with his swing in AAA is better than his current tinkering at the major league level.

Sending Seager down wouldn't help the team today or tomorrow. We don't have a better option today, and he's better off figuring shit out at the major league level when his replacement is arguably a downgrade. It's also worth noting that he would likely find something in AAA that doesn't work at the MLB level, then have to make more adjustments.

Considering Seager's troubles and the Mariners taking the wrong approach at the plate, this sounds like an issue with the hitting co-

.... Uh sorry, we have an excellent hitting coach right now. Nobody could be a better hitting coach than Edgar... Definitely the scouts.

Actually, I was just venting about shipping Seager down. I don't think it would make a shit bit of difference sending him to T town anyway. Love his defense most of the time but can't stand his offense one little bit. With Healy @ first, Seager @ 3rd and Zunino catching- those 3 add little to the game offensively MOST of the time. Healy out of the 3 is probably the one I'd bet my money on....if I was forced to make a bet.
