@AndyGlockner The health/rest situation is going to be way under considered between now and whenever the WCF ends. Not only do SA and OKC both have fatigue and injury concerns as of today, but every game there is a chance another domino drops. Knicks futures very live (with an eye to hedge)
English

@DodgeZane @MarinerMuse Different situation, but both have a clear “right choice”. The FO is unwilling to do either
English

@frightwigwam @bob_catlover @MarinerMuse The “clear choice” isn’t to cut him. It’s to phantom IL him with arm fatigue and wait 3-4 weeks to see what happens with the rotation.
English

@bob_catlover @zagfan8741 @MarinerMuse It’s not a fantasy team. You don’t just cut your vet SP because he has a 4.50 FIP or your weak side platoon bat after a lousy 78 PA. “We’ll just eat the money & see how it goes with Colin Davis. Oh, well.”
But I wouldn’t bat Refsnyder cleanup again, for sure.
English

@MarinerMuse Wasn’t comparing players, was comparing that the decision, as to what to do with them should be unanimous, and this FO/ownership won’t.
English

Luis Castillo is still a usable pitcher
There is nothing of value about Rob Refsnyder
He’s the worst Mariner making above the league minimum of the Dipoto era
Ben Cary@zagfan8741
@MarinerMuse It’s pretty similar to Castillo. There is a clear correct path, but it would involve admitting you were wrong and/or eating money. Dipoto and ownership’s worst traits rearing their ugly head(s)

Incoming National Spelling Bee host @minakimes hit me with an on the spot challenge to spell the winning word from 1925. It could have been worse!
English

@MarinerMuse They also are back to having no infielders besides Wisdom on the bench right?
English

$6 million buys Rob Refsnyder more time
Adam Jude@A_Jude
Mariners have reinstated Victor Robles (right pec strain) from the IL. Connor Joe optioned to Tacoma.
English

@AndyGlockner I missed out on any QB points for the majority of last year on one team (Purdy Burrow only QBs) and missed advancement by 70 points. Plus Jax v Wash week 17 is nicely correlated?
English

@MarinerMuse and if the defense continues to be bad at 3rd, the DH transition works too
English

I think the point is that regardless of who’s playing 3B, it’s a massive, massive upgrade to have Colt playing SS as much as possible
freiguy@freiguy
@MarinerMuse His arm wasn’t good enough to make throws from SS. What makes us think moving to third will be better???
English

@MarinerMuse If it’s that important to keep him stretched out… just have him go throw in the bullpen or the cages after he is pulled. No reason he can’t go throw for 30 minutes after his night is over
English

That’s what publicly committing to this weird strategy beforehand indicates
They are solely focused on using Castillo as some sort of starter length bullpen arm, results be damned.
Sticking to it in the 9th to get him above 50 pitches was that superseding trying to win
Brendan@bonballers
@MarinerMuse This is hilarious. So they were more concerned with “getting Castillo the innings” than winning the game. Great plan!
English

@RyanDivish Refsnyder with two right on right ABs- at least they are consistent with the platoons!
English

@AndyGlockner They will be down a lot though, which maybe covers some of it up. Stacking check down 👑 Achane and garbage time rushing Willis is very live imo
