GT 6/18 Double your pleasure double your fun - Game 1

Everyone and their grandmother knows to walk Trout

Servais: “but righty vs righty”

Scott is no a good manager he hates winning streaks. He knew trout would give them the lead. Sure he had a great smile on his face after.

Come guys at times like these we should think about the the brilliance of this logic:

Many fans on this forum probably know 10 times as much about baseball as their mothers-in-law know. However, many fans do not realize that they probably don't know one-tenth what the typical MLB front office knows. A front office has a wealth of information unavailable to even the most avid fan. Forum posters too often make snap judgments based on small samples when analytics have shown that larger samples provide better results.

When the Seattle front office makes a puzzling move I feel free to question that move knowing that I don't have the same information the front office has. At times in my profession I need to patiently explain matters to laypeople who lack my knowledge and expertise. I wish Jerry Dipoto were available at my disposal to answer the questions of this simple fan.

Waste all your good pitchers this game only to pitch to Trout? Its fucking ridiculous.

[seth8734]

We could all be rich we gotta bet big after a Mariners win they lose the next one. Wouldent have to work again it's genius. Fucking idiot. Offense and Scott lost this very winnable game again

[seth8734]

It's kinda sad I think all of us knew with trout coming up in extras game was over. I wish fans would fucking boy cott coming to games until change was made. Philles have been on fire since firing girardi.

8 fucking hits and 2 runs. Gotta love getting on base and sleep out there. Just bring a pillow and blanket u won't reach home.

Another observation-

Dylan Moore has 9 stolen bases in 96 plate appearances.

Julio has 18 stolen bases in 268 plate appearances.

[seth8734]

U can demote hitters and pitchers it sucks u can't fucking demote managers. This a fucking trend last few weeks have mostly been all winnable games and we always blow it. Enough is enough.

The manager has to play the players on the roster. Not sure what else he's supposed to do.
