It just boggles the mind that in a game like this that they really had to win, we sat Cal, Naylor and Donovan in favor of Wilson, Pereda, and Rivas.
Even if those three are underperforming, they're at least still capable of having impact ABs. And even though Pereda can handle a bat, there's NO reason Wilson and Rivas should be out there, let alone at the same time.
The 2026 Mariners are like Little League where everyone gets to play. The season is on the line and DiPoto puts Timmy Lupus, Alfred Oglivie and whoever the third-shittiest Bad News Bear was on the field.

All 3 of those guys are dealing with reasonably serious injuries and this was a quick turnaround day game vs a nasty lefty...i thought maybe Donovan, but this is second day back since mid-May? Both Naylor and Raleigh belong in a MASH ward after the beatings, bloody nose, batted shins, and fast balls to the gut these guys have received in the first two games of this series.
