Probably should throw Polo on IL with his sore knee and see if his knee feels better after All star break
Just DFA that gimp. They don't want to put him on the IL because they would be admitting they were idiots for signing a gimp.
Why, so we can get more AB for Dylan Moore, who somehow had a worse month in June than polo had in May. DMo has 1 hit and probably 24 K in his last 42 PA

It feels like Polanco is going to hit like this for the rest of the season and his hot start was a mirage. All he ever does is ground out to second.

Which is more than D-Mo can say, I don't know if I've ever seen a Mariner have a 40+ at-bat streak worse than what he has. He looks like a drunken bum that got pulled off of 1st Avenue. Especially that first at-bat yesterday where he looked at two meatballs and then swung straight up like Charlie Brown.

Solano has interesting R/L splits. .893 OPS against righties and .457 OPS against lefties. So of course he is our starter against a lefty and we pinch hit for him when the other team brings in a rightie.

How many people work in analytics for the Ms?

Maybe we need to hire DOGE. :)
So Solano is suddenly a reverse splits hitter? Those sorts of splits are meaningless
What do you mean?

I just checked, and for his career, Solano has hit very similarly versus L or R.
What am I saying? I am saying Solano is a right handed hitter signed as a platoon partner to hit left handed pitchers. You are saying for his career he's hit right handed pitchers twice as well as he has hit lefties? Taking a quick look at his annual splits they look pretty even the last few seasons. it doesn't change the fact that a half seasons splits is too small a sample size to question using a right handed hitter against a left handed pitcher. Am I missing something?

How does the same human put up a .903 OPS in April and then turn into complete shit for the next two months. Bizarre year.

If he splits are the same for his entire 15 YEAR career then why was he sign to platoon vs. LHPs?

Why not? It's certainly isn't a reason not to bat him against a leftie
