Some of you want a win. Some of you selfish bastards want the Mariners to lose because there's $50 bucks of Darren's moola dangling from his carrot stick.....and that's all I got to say about that.

Thanks for posting the lineups, Darren.
Solid lineup. I foresee a Crawford big RBI day and a couple x-base hits. France is fucking gonna Joan of Arc all over the Rangers.

Good Lord, look at that thing of beauty. It's nice seeing players that deserve their shot.. Marmolejos numbers even blow away Dee and Mallex. Long appears to be a platoon player and utility at best. I would find somebody better in that role. Marm and Lopes even seem better, but behind Long on Dipotos love chart.

Literally, my pleasure. I didn't want to infringe but I was so excited about it, I couldn't contain myself!

Lopes was sent down. Should have been Shed.

Haven't seen transactions, that is interesting given their numbers, but not as surprising given Dipoto went after Long and he loves squeezing these turnips.

Putting Moore at 2B is exactly what they should have done for Seager before they saddled him at 3B which demands more offense.

He could have a much higher career WAR as a 2B, imo. Positional scarcity. His bat shines even brighter at 2B in other words.

Same with Moore. Sure, he could play a serviceable 1B, but if he can play 2B, why tf saddle him anywhere else?

Cause the wanted Ackley at 2B. That worked out awesome. lol

btw Lopes wasn't hitting well but still better than Long.
