M's vs. Rangers Aug. 6th-8th

[SeattleCoug]

How is it that we dumb fans knew back in May that Felix was done, yes these "professionals" in the Mariners front office still trot him out every 5th game.

Just remember why we didn’t need to add a frontline starter before the season

with felix to the pin..and a trade for a starter(not a good pct either)..it could go up again..my fantasy...HA ha lol

Miranda: Gone
Moore: Gone
Povse: MIA
De Jong: Gone
Whalen: MIA Part 2

I liked the video of Felix laughing after k'ing Beltre. I mean I can just see Ryan or Clemens or RJ doing the same in a playoff hunt...

this is what ..really get's at me ...why make all those other trades.. if you are not going to make the one that counts
seems dumb....

Seriously after pulling Leblanc last night and this tonight how can you convince me to pay money to watch this team. Either you extended a manager who doesn’t have a fucking clue or you are more concerned with sending a message then winning a baseball game in a playoff race.

Kind of my point earlier about his dumbass decision yesterday to pull Leblanc. He has to have a brain somewhere realizing Felix is next up, you can't burn your pen. You force Felix to wear it regardless of how he is pitching. You can't sacrifice one game because you made a dumb decision the day before. They need to put ego's aside with Jerry's only moves were crap bullpen arms, you don't put them in for the sake of proving his moves were right. A 6 man rotation is better than getting arms that realistically didn't improve the pen IMO at all, just changed the names.

felix ..contract is done deal regardless..of whether he does well..so forget about it..and do what is right
on the field....which is send him to the pin to work on it...

i think povse will contribute at some point ..moore =span..dejong=bul pin guy...the loss is miranda..also elias=mia

this shows my previus point as well...why make all those trades for guys..who are one season guys..if you are not..going to get the final piece....seems dumb

yeah i know what you mean on whalen

that is a prob as well....cuz i am projecting him as #3 starter at tacoma next year..with povse #1 and jaminian #5

 

[ulmax]

the coarse of action...should have ended in..a replacement(or temp replacement)for felix...which is why i was
thinking trade white..and lewis or art warren..and a couple more...cuz it seemed to add up ..i guess my math was wrong

and they was only having a fantasy...for the 20th time

 

[ulmax]

also cuz of felix ..fat contract(with one year remaining)...it would seem to signal..a minor league AAA guy..who cost less

just sayin on that...cuz other guys would do.....oh my goodness...lol

 

[ulmax]

if you try and then fail ...at least you tryed.....which means if they dont do anything ...nothing will happen

and it will be all for not..most every trade this season...crash and BURN

 

[ulmax]

sorry felix and jerry..........but i did it to me as well...lol

Well it's about time we start out a game with Texas with some offense. Segura scoring from 2nd on Haniger's single.

 

[Duders]

Typical M's- get 1 run and leave a runner on base. These guys are just snake bit when it comes to moving runners along. Hoping Gonzo shuts these guys down today.

 

[Duders]

This is unreal!! Rangers are taking it to Gonzales. Seager making another error and a run score. 3rd error for Seag in last 2 games. Another hit and run for Texas and now Texas has a 2-1 lead.
Never really been a fan of Ryan R Smith as a broadcaster- or a pitcher for that matter either.

 

[WizardHawk]

I'd say our horse has been quite dead for nearly a month already.

 

[Duders]

Oh yeah Scott...let's see more of your pouting. The dude was hit by the pitch and the reply showed it several times. Gawd
Gonzo not having his best outing against these Rangers.

 

[Duders]

It's kind of strange. When Seager starts to heat up he starts making the errors.

 

[Duders]

Boy our offense is just "lights out" today....literally lights out. Someone must have flipped the breaker at the power box. Can't imagine there is much team spirit after the fiasco the last two games.

 

[Duders]

Now this is the familiar Mariners performance that has been so familiar with for years and years. Gonzo is being taken out back to the woodshed. Worse outing this year- of course Servais doesn't know what the fuck to do once again.
