These 2 game series things are so confusing

 

[Azvacar]

So we need a 2 game sweep to keep our Series win streak alive? lol

And to think, people didn't want Polanco back on the M's this year
He's just one hell of a clutch hitter. Leave him at DH all season.

Polanco 5, Angels 1

After last season, you couldn't blame anyone.

I agree... why even put him in the field. Hes not a BAD defender.. but uh? Yes please more Polanco at bat

Its too bad he doesn't qualify for average.. dude would be top 10 in almost every stat at this point

Did you want him back after the season he had last year?

He had a .213 BA, a .296 OBP, and a .650 OPS. He was also the worst defensive 2B in MLB. He was awful.

So yep. Guilty as charged. I didn't want him back, and I sure as hell didn't want him playing 3B (and thank god that didn't last long because he was terrible at 3B those few games he played there).

That said, credit where credit is due. Polanco has been flat out amazing at the plate this season. The guy is on fire. It's been awesome to see. DH? Hell yes. In the field? Hell no.

Just got home from the game tonight. Polanco is seeing beach balls right now. 2 bombs tonight and almost 3. Unreal how well he's doing right now. Really fun to watch. Go Ms!

 

[Crizilla]

Why did Polanco even play last year. Should have rested that knee from the get go.

I didn't say that I did, but when healthy he's a hell of a hitter.

I clearly should have done the standard

Ironically, he's not healthy this year either. That's why he's only hitting from the left side of the plate, and why he's not playing on defense.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Hoping he just stays at DH. That's one hell of a DH.

To me it's clear, his knee is not able to hold up out there so keep
him at DH.
He should have just DHd last season as well.
