I still don't have a ton of faith in the mid 20s AAA guy who strikes out 1/3 of the time and hits huge bombs after years of anonymity, but hell anything is better than Abreu right now A huge solo bomb in a game where you're down by a huge margin though? Perfect Astro

The rules are well established for the outcome of games where the Mariners are above .500

Sydin posted:I mean there is something to the idea of letting a kid go back down to the minors for a bit where he can mash and rebuild some confidence, but yeah my understanding is it's not like there's anybody banging on the door to replace Walker and the Cardinals aren't currently looking like they're in some incredible tight race, probably better to just play him every day and let him figure it out vs MLB pitching. 114 OPS+ last year for him too so it's also likely he just needs to adjust now that the book is out on him and that's not something that's gonna happen at AAA. Dombro was on the radio recently and agreed with you about the value of AAA. He said the talent disparity is so great these days they don’t really learn anything valuable He could have been lying who knows

Mike_V posted:Is that the game they lost 14-1 or whatever? They suck and attendance is down but it's not like the Coliseum normally Yeah, he says in the replies that it's the 7th inning of the 14-1 game, so they'd already been out of it for at least two innings. Honestly April games are such a crapshoot for all teams attendance-wise, it's hard to take anything from this, especially since the DBacks aren't a team that draws bodies. If the games still look like this once school is out then there's an actual problem.

Someone found their copy of a 2002 Mariners giveaway comic book from McDonalds. There's some great panels and I think it explains their 2001 postseason failure.
