8/23 GT: Robeless in Seattle, Kirby v. Springs

[Pharmabro]

Losers lost.

[seth8734]

Just a group of massive, fucking losers.

Yep there is no where close to championship here. If we make playoffs its 1 and done.

[Pharmabro]

I think the bunt was called from the dugout. That is playing not to lose instead of playing for the win. And I het the way the DB announcers said how smart it was.

[seth8734]

2 fucking hits from our top 5 idiots. Fkkking god they dont wanna win. Cal is sucking badly this 2nd half. He sure as hell doesent want it. Wish we could call up Ford give Cal some days off catching and just dh.

Who doesn't know how to lay down a proper bunt.

Absolutely - you've got 2 on with 0 outs, why surrender the momentum? Someone else pointed out they had even brought the infield in.

For some reason their extra inning strategy is fixated around the free runner. They are obsessed with trying to advance him from 2nd to 3rd without thinking that one base hit scores a run (tonight it would tie the game). They would have been better off trying a double steal which would remove the double play opportunity and hopefully get the ghost to 3rd anyway.

They don't think like that in a normal inning, even if they are trailing.

I would of so preferred the double steal.

yeah, kinda like allowing a 3-0 swing, play to win

Time to get really excited facing 3 lefties in a row starting with lefty killer Springs so 3 straight games of Garve and Moore. Fucking sucks can't bring up a righty bat for this stretch.

Nvm Robles up Moore dfa!! Great great news. Start the 10 days now. Sucks he got suspended really could have used him right now. Any news on his appeal? So down a player on the bench which idk how thats gonna work. Cantzone playing against lefties? Feeling better weird move. Should have cut Solano as well but we have no backup rh 1b. So down a bench player for a bit.

Robles will be in the lineup.

He is appealing his suspension and can play during the appeal.

I am not sure it is worth the look up, but if he gets a 10 day suspension at the MLB level could he go down and play against the MILB clubs to stay on time or does he just have to work during BP or against the machine?

Considering the way the M’s MILB club allowed the other teams pitchers to use him as target practice maybe just doing pregame BP is best?

You know they have the new generation machines now that can mimic actual ML pitchers. I don't think it should be as difficult for a guy to stay sharp without actual at bats

[DavidGee24]

What the hell is wrong with these guys? Three hits in ten innings against dogshit pitching. They're getting shut down by pretty much everyone with a pulse.

And that bunt? Dan Wilson sucks. He's worse than Servais. If Maury Wills hadn't tried to alter the batters box while high on coke, Wilson would be our shittiest manager ever. He just does really dumb things that lose ball games. I'm starting to wonder if Randy Johnson shook him off 20-30 times a game.
