Mallet and Vogelbach showing the difference between how two seemingly useless players, one still puts runs on the board without anyone else's help.

Among player types, that's always how I'll err. Power puts runs on the board. Speed hands the torch to somebody else.

Speed can manufacture runs... slugs create double plays... I like athletes with both speed and power...

Mallex and Vogel bach are both expendable if not close to useless for me...

It can manufacture runs if the guy behind you does his part, which only happens 35% of the time.

It's called passing the buck.

Quick check shows Vogelbach grounded into double plays 4 times in 2019 compared to Mallex Smith with 7 and Dee Gordon with 8. Vogelbach was 9th on the team.

Its almost like not hitting the ball very hard... leads to double plays.

Bundy with his third career complete game against a lineup designed to lose on purpose. Hope he sends Servais a thank-you card. I bet Maddon wouldn't put a lineup like that in the field if he were the Mariner skipper.

Well, that was lovely.... Mariners lose... we're ZEROS!! I think Scott Cervix can come up with a better lineup???

What happened to Bundy?

Didn't he used to throw 95+?

Dude is a junk baller now.

Maybe he is saving his stuff for teams with major league lineups.

Starting pitchers nominate themselves to pitch on short rest whenever they get a chance to face the Ms.

Evan White needs batting practice on hitting the middle up fastball... that was terrible...

This is where scouts put in their notes:

"..may have problems catching up to a major league fastball.."

And our scouts note: "Should consider signing him to a six year $24M deal"

Don't forget to add "Bargain."

Worst run-differential in all of baseball now at already -31.

That seals the deal. I am no longer a Mariners fan. I’ve been a fan since 1972 and a season ticket holder since 1976. I officially will not be renewing my plan next season nor will I watch on tv ever again.

He's now a free man.

Even without the worst won-loss record thats not a surprise. There are going to be days where the young lineup gets totally overmatched and our awful pitching totally caves in. Frankly, im surprised we haven't seen any 15-1 beat downs yet.
