Sept. 4th ~ 3 day Oakland Covid vacation over. Rangers in town Game Thread

[D-train]

Reverse the syllables of the ranger pitcher and you will know what I have been doing for almost 50 years.

How does Herget get 93 with no forward body motion ? It’s like he whips around his waist.

Good to see Dylan moving into 2b more or less permanently and Shed moving to utility.

Looks like Dylan Moore has earned 2BOTF, at least for now. 2-4, and a few feet away from a HR in his 1st AB.

Graveman as a closer next year? If his neck keeps him from throwing long outings, then throwing him at the back end of the bullpen isn't a bad option.

Moore is exactly the kind of player u want at 2B.

You know who he reminds me of? Michael Young.

Would you rather continue Tankathon or win 10 in a row and maybe make the playoffs?

I can see that.

Mariners by June of next year...

LF Kelenic
2B Moore
CF Lewis
3B Seager
RF Haniger
DH France/Marmelejos?
1B White
C Murphy/Torrens
SS Crawford

Utility Lopes, Haggerty? 4th OF Fraley?

SP Gonzales, Kikuchi, Sheffield, Dunn, Gilbert

Anyone I'm missing? Ship off Shed for a prospect, maybe a guy like Josh Stowers?

Tankathon. Flashes of brilliance wont mean much this year. Build up the system for one more season.

Neither is going to happen. Mariners are good enough to beat Texas, LAA, SF, Arizona, but will lose a lot to Oakland and Houston. They finish with 24-28 wins. I'm hopeful for a top 10 pick. Top 5 is looking less and less likely.
