@alexSSN While i do think Ms hitting development sucks...
France was putrid with the Ms, absolute noodle bat. Add that with the fact he might be the slowest professional athlete ive ever seen and has the defensive radius of a coffee table.
Just a zero tool player.
@Thegroz Ill explain this very simply - and its Jerry's fault.
Dan was brought in purely for nostalgia. It was a play on the fans more than actual managerial capability.
@_Konjac_Jelly As someone who played competitively for almost two decades here is why I think this is purely neglect by the hitting coaches:
1. His core is pulling away from the ball, hips sliding back.
2. His front shoulder is getting WAY to high
3. Bat is dragging thru the zone
@Msbeervendor@IWCvillian Renton is not difficult to get to unless you are using a walking stick to get there.
Its at the mesh point of I5, 405 and 167 - its arguably one of the easiest places to get to.
@TridentTrue Ill say it time and time again... no team mismanages injuries more than the Mariners.
For a decade +, 10-Day ILs have been 30+ days.
Its a mystery for the ages why they treat something like a stubbed toe with evaluating the need for an amputation.
@pac12loyalist Dipoto told me straight to my face in May that he and his team do not look at social media...
Then Hollander just a fee weeks later confirmed that they see fan concern over the injuries,etc.
@MarinersSUR I do think Kirby is the trade chip if they want a noticeable return.
Makes sense with him being an east coast kid.
Matt Shaw is in a log jam rn so I do like the fit.
@shannondrayer Donovan has been "expected" to start his rehab assignment for a month now...
Like I said, he won't play another regular season game. This is classic mariner
And now Victor Robles is down, after taking a 97.9 mph sinker from Walbert Ureña off his right wrist here in the 3rd inning.
But looks like he will remain in this game.
@RyanDivish Just come out and say it... youve been around the team long enough, Ryan.
We arent going to see him again this regular season.
If im wrong ill wear a shirt with Ryan Divish face on it to a game.
@TridentTrue I said this to someone 2 weeks ago and ill say it again.
This is the CLASSIC Mariners move where you never see a guy for the rest of the season. Seen it time and time again
@AngryMariners The hilarious part is:
When I spoke directly to Dipoto about the team in a group setting about 2 months ago he very adamantly said him and his staff pay no attention to social media...
Just because the training staff are good people doesnt mean they are elite at their job.
This amount of injuries has a cause, it isnt just random bad luck.
