Well that's game. They aren't going to score 3 more tonight.
Quick, say it again!

Only 5 teams have scored less runs in all of baseball. They have no chance.Quick, say it again!
Wanker's OPS vs righty this year is half of what he did last year. It's .544 now. It was 1.070 last year.Suarez better than Winker. Who would have thunk it. I didn't want either but I don't want Dipoto and Servais yet here I am watching them drown in their own incompetence.
Did anyone else question why we pinched hit for the lefty that just homered and was up against a righty?

2021 LF Stats:Suarez/Winker were brought in to make us better, no? We traded, RHP Justin Dunn, CF Jake Fraley, LHP Brandon Williamson... BW was our best pitching prospect so if Suarez/Winker don't pan out, this will turn out to be a bad deal for us... Suarez, imo, has been on par with what Seager brought to the table but Winker hasn't been anything to get excited about... Last 5 years Winkers avg was at .288 but is currently .208... His WAR is a -0.7; last year it was +2.7...
We acquired Adam Frazier for LHP Ray Kerr and OF Corey Rosier... Fraziers average over the last 7 years is .277 and he's hitting .234 right now... Well below his average... He's a high contact hitter but he's just not getting on base, nor is he hitting with RISP... Frazier's WAR is -0.1, last year it was +3.1...
Robby Ray has been very inconsistent so it was very nice to see him have a very good game his last start... He was at a WAR of -0.2 prior to that game - he is now at +0.1 since that game... Last year, he was +6.6... Sadly enough, his current ERA is just a little south of his career avg 4.13...
With all this said, we won 90 games last year... Suarez was basically brought in to replace Seager, which I believe he's given us close to what Seager did so we're really not missing much there... BUT, Winker, Frazier and Ray were brought in to make us better than that 90 win team last year... Between the 3 of them, their WAR is -0.58... They haven't brought anything to the table - they're basically playing like role players that are easily replaceable... If it wasn't for France, Julio and JP hitting well, we would be sucking up the joint even more so... Thank goodness L. Gilbert is pitching well because we haven't been able to count on Ray...
When it's all said and done, how long can JD last if he can't take the M's to the next level?
Update:I still can't believe Steckenrider went from saves leader to DFA'd in just a few months. Winter was a great time to deal him when he was at his highest value. Never trust a veteran reliever who all of a sudden has a career year. What a bad decision.
