All hail Palpatine, Dark Lord of the Sith GT 5/17 (SEA @ SD)

Seattle right as rain in San Diego!

Bullpen did their job tonight and I would argue is getting better before our eyes.

Some nice offense late also...clutch hit by Dilly.

YOUR FIRST PLACE SEATTLE MARINERS!

[Southpaw773]

Way to hold down the fort bullpen!
Nice insurance runs late too.

Except you don't have a 2nd or 3rd baseman, Rivas has been playing 2nd, did mastrobuoni come up when they decided Polanco couldn't play 3rd?

Sure, but then he's not a utility player

And as I've said, you don't need all these utility players on your team.

There is such a thing as just putting guys at positions and living with it until you can make some trades.

Okay, Mastrobuoni is 3rd, Moore 2nd, Rivas utility. Now you can replace Mastrobuoni with someone that plays 3rd

Or... you call up Canzone... have him start against all righties... and have Taveras start against lefties.

You then always start Moore at 3B and Rivas at 2B.

Why would you want a guy with a 50 OPS+ playing 3B for you ever?

[Donn Beach]

I didn't say I did but we needed to assign him a position ai thought so you could replace him

Yes, but again, I have a fundamental disagreement that his positional versatility makes up for being one of the worst hitters in baseball.

His “position” doesn’t matter. Formulate a team where your best players see the field, even if that means you don’t move them around.

They can do it very easily, as I’ve laid out.

This was a huge win for multiple reasons. Hancock was touching 98 today. If he can show that he is a capable starter, and therefore might has his stock on the rise for trade purposes as my

The BP has been solid since brash is returned

Rowdy being rowdy for the last month or so has been big

Bullpen with Thornton hurt and not using Bazardo has been so so good. Sadly Thornton has gotta be close but no one to send down for him so he is staying in the minors unless u give him a shot and let Bazardo go!

Rowdy has been so so good on the road. He is earning his keep he has actually helped us. Solano and Mast absolutely not thier time has to be coming to an end. We won the Vedder cup

Btw Rangers are 7-1 since Boone took over as hitting coach yikes!!!!!

Rowdy over the last 30 days, pitchforks have been hung up for the time being. Players need to take their turn stepping up and he's doing it
