I feel like we have this conversation every year.

Wtf is wrong with this guy? Why can't he just take the next step and be more consistent?

Dude is the king of fall offs.

I predicted he would have a .711 OPS and was way off in the beginning of the year but now he is at .708 and tending off a cliff.

I would replace him with Rivas but of course they will never bench fan fav JP Crawford.

Best player should be playing regardless if they are a fan favorite or not. I agree he should be on the bench. Give Rivas a try or move CY over to SS.

He is still our best option at SS over the long haul, but we're in a pennant race and he's 4-28 over the last 8 games. And it's not like they're pitching him tough, he's missing cookies too. If Rivas was our utility player it would be good to stick JP on the bench for a game.

I was about to post something similar but I googled Rivas and his defense at SS seems very respected. I really don't know much about Rivas

Right now he's got a .980 OPS and has hit 10 dingers at Tacoma, which is mind-boggling as I don't recall him ever even hitting one to the co-ed line with the big club.

Bringing up Rivas just makes too much sense when Solano can go bye bye. Actually Raley too as it appears he's never fully recovered.

What stands out in those stat lines are J.P. Crawford's .344 BABIP for the first half and the .235 BABIP for the second half.

Those numbers suggest that Crawford was lucky in the first half and has been unlucky in the second half.

The Mariners are likely to rely on Crawford's 905-game career numbers more than on the cited 38-game sample. FanGraphs projects the 30-year-old Crawford with a wRC+ of 106 the remainder of the season, consistent with his career wRC+ of 105.

If the Mariners bench Crawford, do they not play him the remainder of the season? If not, under what circumstances do the M's play Crawford?
