5/10 GameThread-JP Shredding at the Boston TeeOff Party

For every action there is a reaction.
When the opposing team hits a home run...we bean that guy the next time he comes up.
What do we have to lose?
Tomorrow Felix only has to target Devers and Mooreland...and we are golden!

Further evidence that run differential is a meaningless stat. Sure we lost 14-1, but we were clearly the better team tonight.

Yah. Sure. Ya bethcha.

Further ignominy - former worthless Mariner pitcher Ryan Weber closed out the game against the M's.
Imagine that, Weber rejected the Mariners, too.

October 13, 2017 RHP Ryan Weber elected free agency.
September 11, 2017 Seattle Mariners sent RHP Ryan Weber outright to Tacoma Rainiers.

At least he didn't get a save from his efforts

His aim ain't good enough anymore and his velocity won't hurt 'em anyway..

I don't know, it could sting a little.

Two more outs and we will be officially a losing team for the first time this year.

That is one of the reasons I knew better than to be today's game threader. I will live in infamy and in shame for being responsible for putting the M's under .500. My personal game thread record will also be one game under .500 now.

Shame And Opprobrium.

Yup, we probably would've won if not for the those 2 errors.

Jerry Dipoto is a real genius. He realized the good ship Mariner was sinking and that his days here were swiftly drawing to a close, so he managed to buy himself 3 more seasons (at least) of job security by creating this whole "we're setting up to compete in 2021" thing. By then, he'll have enough in the bank account to retire to Tahiti, and we'll still be stuck with a crappy baseball team with Ackley/Smoak/Franklin/Montero/Saunders/Liddi/Carp/Moore 2.0

I thought you were Harry Potter for a moment and were casting a spell on me. "OPPROBRIUM!"

Instead I just get censure and public shame.

You read my book. Both Bavasi and JackZ pulled similar scams and ownership bought into it. I remember Chuck Armstrong's reasoning for bringing Bavasi back for his last year; he wanted to establish consistency. Adam Jones and others for Erik Bedard? Sure, consistent with a losing organization.
