The Manny Acta Era begins Game thread

[D-train]

We get rid of Garver and Refsnyder, add Ward and Donovan, and the offense gets even worse.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised in Ward's case, his career numbers at T-Mobile are awful. Dude hasn't done anything that he did with other teams, he couldn't even clear the LC wall with his best shot. Last year I went to the game against the Angels where Kirby had 14Ks and he blasted one over both bullpens.

wtf happens to these guys over ONE 4.5 month Off season?

He has a .417 OPS with us dropping his career T Mobile OPS to .518

It really seems like they don't research this stuff at all. Like Garver. Nobody in their right mind would go after a guy who's 0-32 career in their home park. They must have just said ooohhh, he hit well for Texas last year and then called his agent and said whatever you want. Seriously, I really believe that they had no idea that Ward (and Garver) sucked at T-Mobile.

The Mariners' hitting philosophy of swing as hard as you can no matter what the count is reminds me of Hoosiers when Eddie Harris from Major League is conducting practice and telling the players to shoot, shoot, shoot...although in his defense that is less ridiculous than "Four passes".

So one of the worst pitchers on the road and Wilson in the fkking lineupn 5-2 Skanks

[TLO Idaho]

Go Manny! Down with the evil Empire!

Walkless streak by the AL walks leader as an Oriole now at 24 PAs.

[mostonmike]

So before today

AVG
Mariners .229
Yankees .230

OBP
Mariners .308
Yankees .309

HITS
Mariners 899
Yankees 900

Two very evenly matched teams, eh ?

[seth8734]

Guaranteed Emerson wont do anything good here

SO FKKING PREDICTABLE. ALMOST 50 PITCHES AND NOTHING. Btw easiest lineup we will ever see for the Skanks and they will still score more.

The yearly "breathe life into the struggling Yankees" series. It's just what the Mariners do.
