D-trains first victory game thread

Anybody buying in to the belief yet that if you create a team built to lose, its going to make your players LOSERS?

They didn't have to tank this season. They could have played with some respect.

Take away Mallex Smith.
Take away Dee Gordon.

Adding two bats to the lineup in their place would have been a 2/9ths boost to our offense imo. Addition by subtraction. By addition....

Instead, Dipoto chose to go exactly the route we're traveling.

In my opinion, what is at risk by doing so are the careers of Shed Long, Evan White and JP Crawford, Sheffield, Dunn, etc.

Crawford started off hot. How about by the end of another meaningless season? I'm skeptical. I think this culture is what breeds their losing in the same way that liberal parents breed whiny little bitches.

I just looked at the box. The Mariners threw just three pitches shy of 200 for a 9 inning game. Whew!
