How could he not know this wasn't going to work when all of us amateurs could see it wouldn't work. The only one that surprises me is Garver. I thought we would get more out of him and I think we ultimately still will. But the rest? Nah, I don't expect them to do much more than what they are doing now.
Funny I was just talking to my brother about all these K's and how it is contagious and blamed on all these environmental things. Yet we had the greatest hitter of his generation play for us in that ballpark and set the hits record.
K’s are up though in the whole sport I guess was more what I was getting at. Divish brought up a good point earlier is that outside of Winker, every one they have brought in was on the down turn or a buy low guy and hope they return to their career average. Garver’s and Polanco’s k rate supposedly were the highest they’d had last year. And Haniger is a guy who shouldn’t be playing everyday.
Ya I guess my premise, and everyone else that has a brain, was right, bad players equal bad stats. That seems too simple, but sometimes the simplest is the right answer.
Really? I would’ve put money on K’s are up from the previous “Moneyball” era. To me it seems the philosophy of HR, BB or K along with the pitching philosophy of just throwing as hard as possible has led to a massive increase in K’s. Guess numbers don’t lie but it just seems if you listen to anyone on any platform they are complaining about K’s.
Seems like Seattle picks up the wrong vets on the back end of their careers.
Other teams knows when the guy is toast but Seattle hasn't figured that part out or just doesn't care cause they come on the cheap side.
Robles..can..be effective...
We don't need Robles in a platoon. A spot pinch runner is just fine but nothing else.
