Imagine being 7-10 with a 3.00 ERA. I feel so bad for these starters, man. At what point do they start requesting a trade? I said in JUNE to trade some pitching away. Do it, that way you can get some offense and not demoralize all of your starters.

Look at their Home/Away splits. Every single one of our starting pitchers has much better numbers at home than on the road. They'd be pretty dumb to start requesting or demanding trades. T-Mobile has benefitted these guys quite a bit, and makes them look better than they really are.

If you can get value for them why not? Put this rotation on a MIDDLE of the league offense and it's probably a 100 win team. You're under selling big time gotta get something for these guys or give them an offense. What if they go to another pitcher friendly park? What else are the Ms gonna do lol

How about signing a couple of decent bats in free agency?

Wild idea, I know. But it's worth a shot.

FYI, I guess you don't remember, but I was agreeing with you that it would be worth it to trade one of our SP's for a difference making bat, like Vladdy.

I’m enjoying this quite a bit. I hope they lose every game so fans don’t show up.

Super Smart to use Voth over Munoz in 9th with middle of lineup up.

Ms are 2-5 in 1 run games under Dan Wilson.

Yep, quite typical. I don't even watch now. Pin the live score on my phone, if they score, I'll go check out some highlights. Only to wait to find out how they choked away another game. Beyond done.

I dont think they should trade pitching, I think they should trade position player prospects. They cant teach any of them to hit at the big league level. What good are they to the Mariners except for trade bait? I say keep the pitching and trade the position player prospects for legitimate top end Major league hitters.

Can we please just let Dan Wilson go and find our real manager? This is embarrassing
