Pretty sad they blew this one. Elias is getting back to his old shituff. I guess I won't be surprised if LA kicks our asses too. Servais' post game by itself is enough to depress any M's fan. Talk about a ho-hum attitude. I'm sorry, but I just can't stand Servais as a manager- he just doesn't have what it takes (whatever that is)...period.

Honestly, I dont even bother with his press conference over the past 2 seasons. It's the same shit being regurgitated, after they eat it again day in and day out. Disgusting talking about vomits I know, but this is the state of this team and its manager.

Well phuk, Seager just didn't have it this time. Not sure how much his hitting has improved, but I guess it's too early to tell.

Well hell, at least we didn't get swept by the Rangers.

Sample size for Seager is at least 20 games imo... He didn't have much of a Spring Training due to his injury so it will take a bit to get his timing back...

I wish our manager was as honest as Jim Mora... "Playoffs? Playoffs? I just hope we can win a game!"

Problem is, Servais is not honest.

He's full of shite, but lately he's been more
Straight-forward about the defense

I truly cannot fathom how Santana can be so bad. I never played the COF but it seems like RF and LF can’t be that much of a difference just reverse on the spin of the ball.

Yep, Mallex is one FAST dude no doubt. We have a couple guys that I have been impressed with. Vogey is one of them and I'm so damn glad he finally has been able to produce at this level.

Same. I'm rooting really hard for him.

I actually have a lot of optimism regarding Seager after reading how much effort he put in this offseason to his conditioning. He got really bulky the past few seasons and by his account he shed all the bad weight and still retained the same level of strength.

The shift will always be an issue for him, but hopefully all the work he put in pays off. At the very least he should be a better base runner and defender. His defense fell off a bit when he started bulking up.

Do they not rehab down in AAA?

I wish I had an answer because it really confuses me as well. The only explanation that I can muster is that he's used to taking different routes to the ball after playing his entire career in right field. It could be a mental thing with him and hopefully the staff is getting him a lot of practice reps at LF. I have to assume that once he develops the muscle memory playing in LF (don't really have a better term for it), things will improve.

The irony of him playing poorly in left field is that it takes the least amount of talent out of all of the outfield positions.

On the bright side his performance at the plate somewhat offsets his poor defense.

Just looked it up and he only had 9 games of rehab, all in AAA.

 

[SeattleCoug]

For as bad as things appear, Cano and Diaz have a combined 0 Fwar right now. IF not for this trade that netted us a solid prospect in Kelenic, the current disaster would seem even worse. Cano probably has one solid year left and Diaz in all likelihood peaked last year and will have fluctuating years.

Well there coaches don’t seem to be either doing their job or getting it through to him I don’t know.

I will semi disagree with the part of the LF. In most ballparks, LF is easier but Safeco was built for Jr. and Edgar so RF is actually suppose to be easier position. I just remember that was one of the discussions when Ichiro arrived in Seattle was that he was way too good of a fielder and way too good of an arm to play RF at Safeco or now the Pink.

Kikuchi having a pretty rough start to the game with the Angels. Walked first two batters, gave up a hit and 1 run before he finally gets an out.

 

[Duders]

Sure a hell of a lot of empty seats at the pink panther tonight. Can't remember a time when it looked so empty. I'm sure this isn't the worse turnout but looks bad seeing so many empty spots.

Just wait til later in the season...we might set some new record lows.

Gee, I wonder why??

He didn't play much in AAA before he came back... It's not like riding a back... ;-)
