The Great Canadian Road Trip part II

[Sibelius Hindemith]

They should have brought Gilbo back out for at least one more inning to try to secure a loss.

[Hanjag]

Of course, in this situation, at this time..... I am hoping the M's get swept in Toronto.... We have an opportunity to improve our draft position... simple as that.

Who cares?

Seager has crushed lefties this year. They are going to start bringing in righties to face him.

I do. The difference between your chance at success drafting at #3 vs #6 is small but more meaningful than the difference between losing 100 games vs 92 games.

By Breakdown AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB HBP SO SB CS AVG OBP SLG OPS
vs. Left 86 12 22 3 0 7 16 8 2 18 0 1 .256 .330 .535 .865
vs. Right 162 23 38 8 1 7 21 17 0 40 1 0 .235 .306 .426 .732


These are Seagers numbers before today. You can add 0-3 vs RHP, 1-1 with a HR vs lefties. Half as many AB, and more HR vs lefties.

Man Nola's sample size is really not small anymore. Hundred and twenty-five pas with a 885 Ops and one war which projects to between five and six War for a full season. He might be a nice piece for the future super utility and DH if vogelbach can't figure it out

[Oso Dorado]

Seager now with the most home runs by a Mariners infielder, giving the M's a lead that they'll have to relinquish for Terry's peace of mind.

Mariners aren't going to get to 3rd. They are between 5 and 7 most likely. The other 2 teams in that range are Toronto and Pittsburg. Mariners play Toronto next weekend again, and Pittsburg for 3 games in Sept. Losing 4 of the 6 vs Toronto will help. Don't know if it makes that much difference in the long run though.

[Oso Dorado]

Bichette vs Magill for the game, with 2 out and a runner on second.
Full count now.

[Oso Dorado]

Magill strikes out the side, and the Mariners win. We're heroes everywhere but in Terry's house.

I'll be back tomorrow.
