Series Thread: Mariners @ Rangers April 20-22

Aaron is just too funny. He just goes ballistic when someone goes deep. You'd think he's about to blow a circuit or something.

 

[NWinAZ]

That's the difference between a veteran and a rookie. A veteran will make adjustments knowing the guy is gonna throw you inside. You'd think Vogelbach would catch on or maybe Servishit or Martinez would talk to him about it. Maybe they, or someone in the dugout did say something but Voge just can't handle it.

You would think Ichiro 'The Clubhouse Leader' would have said something to him.

 

[NWinAZ]

Zunino pinch hitting for Vogelbach with bases loaded and 2 out. This should be fun.

 

[Duders]

You are shitting me....right?? Sacks juiced again with 1 out and we can't pick up at least 1 run? Gawd- how sad.

Zunino pinch hitting for Vogelbach with bases loaded and 1 out. This should be fun.

And he K's (It was 2 outs). Why didn't they use Heredia?...oh ya.

 

[Tapey]

At least Haniger is pretty good

 

[Duders]

Scotty must have smoked some of that wacky tabacky today.

 

[Duders]

At least Haniger is pretty good

Yeah- Mitch is hitting close to .700 this series with 4 bombs or is it 3?. I'd say that's pretty good.

 

[NWinAZ]

If Freitas could hit, I would play him at 1B. Great play and one Vogelbach doesn't make.

I sure am glad the Mariners have a bullet proof bullpen again this season.

 

[NWinAZ]

Sure glad Vincent protected our 1 run lead in the 8th...

 

[NWinAZ]

2nd and 3rd no outs...Seager K's. Ichiro K's. That is 7 AB's with at least runners on 2nd and 3rd and we got 0 hits.

 

[NWinAZ]

Game but Servias will be happy we took the series which allowed him to give this one away.

It's a nice day to get outside and do some yardwork, get the sprinkler system up and running again, kill a few dandelions, pull a few weeds in the garden, wash the car, mow the yard, set up the BBQ for the season, clean out the garage, throw the tennis ball for the dog, clean up dog poo piles, and just think about why the M's organization does some stupid things some times.....well actually lots of times. Wish Vogelbach would just try and get a hit instead of trying to go yard each at bat. Oh well, so it goes.

That's exactly what I did... I was in the yard working for about 5 hours today... Now my back hurts and I'm going to sit back in my recliner and watch the end of the Wizards/Raptors game and the beginning of the Cavs/Indiana... My wife also said she will give me a back rub tonight....

 

[Anointed One]

At least Haniger is pretty good

For sure... He's about the only bright spot on this team... Please bump Seager down in the order and have Haniger batting 5th from here on out...

This team has a hard time scoring runs unless they hit a HR...

Watching this team from Seager to the bottom of the lineup today was friggin BRUTAL

I love it how Seager had a couple game stretch where he hit like a big leaguer, and was saying he felt the best he ever had with his swing thanks to Zunino. It’s all BS! He kills momentum like the Seahawks running game ruins a defensive turnover.

I pretty much feel the same way about Seager. He is so streaky that you just cannot count on him when you really need some offensive production. He does have some awesome defensive moves but also makes some stupid decisions and plays/errors at times too. In my opinion he is compensated far too much for what we get in return. Beltre has been, and continues to be my favorite 3rd bagger and I'd trade Seager for Beltre in a heartbeat if I had a say in it.

If there was ever a legit chance to get Beltre back I would do it in a heartbeat! Unfortunately our farm system is about as valuable as our international signing money so chances are slim to none that we land a replacement with the caliber of Beltre. Gotta look forward to mid season Seager at this point cause what we have now isn’t cutting it. What’s worse is that he stays in the same spot in the lineup because of his contract. I’d rather see Gamel, Heredia, and especially Haniger hitting in his spot. That won’t happen because this organization doesn’t sign or even play players to always win, they let politics influence too many critical decisions.
