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

ok, I've reached my limit.

I couldn't care less if this team scored 20 and won by a landslide.

This manager doesn't give a flying fuck about this game so I don't either.

See you all next time.

Well, double digit runs allowed isn't enough to pull him. Nope, we only pull starters on a 2 hitter with no runs allowed.

The heat isn't a reason to pull felix, but it is enough to pull Leblanc?

Yeah, i'm going to watch Naked and Afraid instead... At least the players on that show fight for their lives...

Colon is 44 years old... At 83 pitches... Has given up 4 runs and is still in the game...

He's actually 45. Born May 24th '73

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.

Even worse... 7 innings against us and walks off with a smile/pride...

I'm outa here too. I'm really tired of complaining about Servais, and I'm sure anyone reading my posts is tired of reading it too. I just feel bad for the team having to struggle day in and day out with a manager that can't manage. I honestly believe that Pat Listach from Tacoma would be a much better manager than Servais. I even think Scott Brosius (3rd base coach) would do a better job of managing. But we're stuck with Servais, like it or not, Jerry Dipoto thinks he's to best-and because of that I question Jerry's ability as a GM. The whole organization has, and continues to make baseball in Seattle not a fun thing to be part of.

Reminder, if anyone cares. Tomorrow's game in on FB only. [email protected]

Is Servais sending a message to Felix? He's still in there after giving up 10 runs?

I hate to say it, but I believe Servais left him in there to make a statement: that the King (as we once knew him) is dead and won't be in the starting rotation anymore. Why not let him have his last hurrah? The game was pretty much lost, anyway.

You don't leave a guy that gave up the chance of making millions more in bigger markets and stuck by this team when he really shouldn't have, out to die a horrible death like that.

It was one of the most disgraceful examples of bad managing I've seen in many years and I'm a life long M's fan used to shitty managers.

Servais should really be ashamed of it, but won't be.

Servais most definitely should be ashamed of himself after basically shaming one of the all time greats... There is no logical answer for leaving Felix in there after his reasoning for pulling Leblanc last night... That is why a few threads back I stated that Servais looks like he's sending Felix a message... If that is indeed the case, the city of Seattle should get some type of petition going to have Servais fired... That was down right disgraceful imo… I felt bad for Felix...

I wonder if he's going to start losing the clubhouse due to his latest boneheaded decisions...

 

[Msfann]

If Felix is done as a starter I hope he gets a shot in the pen. He's got miles on him but he's only 32.

Maybe he can reinvent himself there.

I still think the Kings court and that crap hurt him. Instead of trying to get outs he went crazy trying to strike everyone out. Started to nibble too much and lost who he was.

 

[Anointed One]

Servais just said, "I like where our offense is headed... The bats are coming around"...

Hey Scott... We scored only 4 runs off of a 45 year old who went 7 innings against us...

Sorry that’s not acceptable

It was obvious once he gave up 4 runs he had nothing and needed to be pulled. Then it was 5-3, 5-4 and it was still a game. I mean even when it was 8-4 it’s still conceivable with a little luck

This team is in a playoff race and nothing besides doing what you can to win the game matters.

Tired bullpen, strikeout record, proving a point. Fuck all that. Pay attention and win the game.

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.

 

[NWinAZ]

I actually watched the first inning...then checked the score which was in the 7th and enjoyed the rest of my non-mariners night.

the rest of 26 mil for this year ..and 26 mil for next...does not make you want to give up easly

that said ..the bull pin for a guy who can go two innings is ok...then there is the 26 mil but idk...cuz they either have
to eat it ..or pay it...if they pay it............ it is bull pin time ......for now....or just keep up... the fantasy

On July 9th M's had an 86.6% chance of making the playoffs.

Today they have 33.5%...lol
