I would like to see Whitcomb in the line up more!
Didn't you comment earlier that the guys look tired?Ag_07 said:
WTF has happened to Joe's lineups?
He went from 'We gotta find a way to get Yanier and Victor in the lineup' to now Yanier isn't in the lineup at all.
Almost like the Bregman elbow thing scared him and now he's gun shy and wants to give everyone a day off.
Yanier hasn't caught a full MLB season. Jose is on pace to have the most PAs and ABs he's had since 2015, blowing away his PAs and ABs in all those seasons except 2017. Yordan is on pace to play LF more than he has any other season.
The hole these guys dug themselves in April and Tucker's injury means they can't afford to give the guys rest, but they still need to do it.

No clue what you are referencing with this comment.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
Yeah I did and they do
But resting guys completely is a bit much. Seems like letting them rotate at DH is a good compromise.

Altuve 2B
Alvarez DH
Bregman 3B
Peña SS
Caratini C
Gamel RF
Meyers CF
Dezenzo 1B
Dubón LF
Arrighetti RHP
I'll claim the 1 run in 7 innings spot on the Bingo card.

Dana saying Tucker is pretty much back.
That's who I don't believe.

I don't understand flipping yordan and Alex. Yordan struggled badly in the 2 hole all year
It's for protection with Yanier not playing.EastCoastAgNc said:

There is no magic in the position you hit. You may prefer one to another, but it does not significantly impact your results the vast majority of the time.EastCoastAgNc said:

Struggled Badly?
2 Hole: .359 wOBA, .446 xwOBA
3 Hole: .404 wOBA, .396 xwOBA
He hit the ball harder, hard more often, and barreled it more from the 2 hole.

I'll believe it when I see it. I've come to the point that I take Dana's comments with a huge grain of salt.
Anyone know if Whitcomb is an option at 1B?
Yes, but just barely. He's only played there very recently in AAA.
Joe Espada said Jason Heyward is taking a physical today.

Jason Heyward is taking his physical today, Joe Espada said. Both Heyward and Ryan Pressly are possibilities to be activated tomorrow.

from the Mariners beatTwo more notes from the excellent Divish podcast from the @MarineLayerPod guys:
— Mariner Muse (@MarinerMuse) August 28, 2024
- Divish was firm that the Mariners will trade one of their five SPs for offense this offseason, with Logan Gilbert the most likely
- He also said they will reroute Randy unless payroll increases

Will they take Chas, Montero and Singleton for Gilbert
Former Astros GM Ed Wade is here and made his way to the dugout to visit with Dave Clark and Javier Bracamonte.

Man I didn't realize how awful Randy has been in an Ms uniform.
Month of August - .197/.358/.303 with 6 XBHs (1 HR and 5 2Bs) and 7 RBIs

His steroid, errr…. Chicken N Rice & Pushups, must not be working anymore
Just missed a leadoff HR
Dammit Breggy
Bregman back at it as quickly as possible.
Breggy with a popup with men on..... go figure.

NICE
Jose "Find a Way" Altuve
Talking about manufacturing a run!!!
Jose!!!!!!
Woah
Jose gunslinger baserunning the only thing saving us from another two on-none out waste of time and energy.
I guess that's what Espada meant when he said he wouldn't go into detail about how much he's asked of Jose this year.
Now just go out and be perfect if you want this dub Spencer, no pressure.
