Series Thread: M's @ Oakland Aug 19-21

[Podunkparte]

Suarez deciding to continue being a HR monster is always a welcome addition to the equation.

Cole Irvin is a trash pitcher and I love that we remind him of that fact every time "a team like that" spanks him into oblivion.

Ham Swaggerty isn't an infielder put in the outfield. He's an outfielder who has about 6 appearances as an infielder with us. He may not have a cannon arm, but he's fast and has a good glove. At the plate he makes good contact, has great speed, and creates havoc on the bases. That's value to a lineup as long as those tools continue.

I would still like a legit OF or 2 next year. No more infielders. No more prospects given the job. Free agent semi-stud OF's.

Yeah..this is the prob with both..
Which..
Gets us... to the next question..
Now Moore is ok..maybe in lf..maybe
Haggerty as well..
Bit a guy..like perdomo..ss..arizona..
Could prob outfield...or lamb..
But who can cf..
Haniger...yes..for the rest of the game..

Longer would be a call up..idk..its a maybe..hes not 28 anymore..
32..is all up on him....cuz of injurys..

But he can still hit..
And will be worth..1 year or 4 or 5..
.

 

[ulmax]

Meetch..only a small...lol

[ulmax]

Missing link.
.hate to keep saying this...is conforto.

Who has done well...with seattle..

 

[ulmax]

Lamb...hitting 230..to..260..LEFT Handed

Trammel..would be good..at..least
Not bad..at.
CF

 

[ulmax]

If conforto..then a RHH..outfield.

It looks like he was mostly an infielder in college and the minors

Don't know if anyone else has been paying attention to the Little League World Series. but our Bonney Lake/Sumner kids won the NorthWest Regionals to play in the LLWS, but lost to Iowa 6-3 today. What a hoot watching these 11 and 12 yr old kids. Some amazing young talent waiting in the wings. It's unreal how skilled and talented some of these little squirts are.

I remember watching the Kirkland team win it al 40 years ago. Pretty cool stuff.

 

[NWinAZ]

I say this every year, but how many more years are we going to watch .200 hitting infielders play in our outfield?

 

[NWinAZ]

Oh, and I am not a Frazier fan no matter where he plays. He started this inning. He is just lazy at times.

 

[NWinAZ]

Mariners 9th lowest in turning DP's this year.

 

[NWinAZ]

When Julio decides to start driving outside pitches the other way, he will be at a new level. Right now he is trying to hit the ball back to Seattle.

 

[Duders]

You kidding me???? Oakland leading the M's 3-2 bottom of 7th??

 

[ulmax]

Maybe haggerty next..
Game tied at 3
.now
Santana..
Now
jrod..

 

[ulmax]

Either score..
Or hang on for extras..
