Servais signed to Multi-Year Contract

[Duders]

Well, like all of us figured, Scotty now also has a multi year contract with his buddy Jerry. Not sure if it's a smart idea to have a GM/Manager combo all the time. Oh well-so it goes.

I hate it and hate the resigning of Jerry...but in their last year of the contract, with them in a playoff chase this was kind of a must.

And sad and shows how poor they have been owned that in 3 years Servais is top 4 in wins. The only consistent manager they have had was under the worst of times management they have had.

Ya they had to, but just so odd to see rewarding a GM and manager for not yet making the playoffs. I'm not shocked after watching 41 years of M's baseball.

I said this in the Jerry one, didn't they do the exact same thing with Jack Z (and would have been Wedge had he not quit) only to get fired 2 years later?

Ya, I didn't think about that (mainly because I try to forget everything Jack). Good point.

Pretty sure Z was whacked 12 months after the extension

Yeah it shows the sad state of Mariners baseball that being in a playoff chase in July is a reason to celebrate for the Mariners brass. Ugh

It is what it is

It is what it is

Yep, and "It is what it is" ain't what's gonna cut it again in 2018. Familiar territory for this organization and THAT is what it is.

Oakland is going to pass Seattle for the WC within days to a week at this rate. Then what happens? That was a big ass lead they just pissed away.

We're being Marinered again. They get your hopes up and look like a real baseball team for a bit then kick you right in the junk. That is how it is being a fan of this team that has won nothing really.

 

[AceKeptic]

It is what it is

The fans should tell them this when they decide to empty seats again. "Y'know, you could have kept the winning formula going, perhaps found new ways to keep leads and keep us interested, but hey, it is what it is."

 

[NWinAZ]

With all these close losses, most accurate statement from DIP to date.

Teams are making moves and Seattle is just standing around. OK fine, then come this off season these dumbass owners better open up the wallet and spend. I know it's not their way of doing things but at least that keeps the farm intact.
