Yep the obsession of winning series is so bizarre. Should try to win every game regardless of who you're playing. You need to sweep bad teams. A six game losing streak wipes out a 6 series winning streak in less than a week.

It was definitely a Service thing. It was almost like he would throw game three if they won game one and two. As if they record would just be 1 and 0 instead of 2 and 1. Winning two of every three is awesome, but like you said. The losing streak erases that quickly.

I think the Mariners focus on winning series since that is what we were doing. Had we won 7 in a row? That's what they would have focused on. All those series wins and this little streak I think has now made us 4 and 6 in our last ten. It can be erased pretty damn quick. Luckily no one in our division is really deciding to go on a win streak.

What's better in a 9 game home stand with three teams?

2-1
2-1
2-1

Or

3-0
3-0
1-2

The answer is obvious but I swear the series wins fanatics would tell you the former is the better outcome because you won all three series.

Roster moves I'd make:

DFA: Garver, Solano, Tellez, Bazardo, Thorton

Call Up: Ford, Locklear, Canzone, Cronin, Hobbs

But hey, wtf do I know. They'd rather roll 3x sloths out there and 2x worthless pitchers than try to win so fuck me.

So replace Garver with Ford. How often does Garver play as the backup catcher, once a week? That wouldn't be doing Ford any favors with his development

That's because garver sucks. Typically it's a 2/3 1/3 type deal but yeah he wouldn't be playing as much unless you DHed him on occasion

He really doesn't suck as the backup catcher, that's what he is. They aren't playing CalI extra because of Garver being backup. They don't break out backup catcher, at least where I looked, but I would bet Garver is probably average slash line wise with other backup catchers I really don't want Ford dhing. I'm dubious how his offense would play in MLB, it barely plays in Tacoma. I doubt you get better offense from Ford than you do from Garver other than speed, and Ford isn't going to improve playing once a week

I'll do the western division

Angels Travis d'Arnaud .185 /.228 /.259/ .487
Astros. Victor Caratini 259 /.368.414/ .781
Rangers Kyle Higashioka .254/ .279/ .390/ .669
Athletics Shea Langeliers and Tyler Soderstrom who both hit well and play a lot
Jhonny Pereda 194/ .265 /.22 .491
Mariners Garver .203/ .365/ .271 /.636

He would play more than once a week but I agree. Want to build his value to trade him by playing regularly in Tacoma. But we will need a backup catcher next year if they don't trade him. I think that will be his role in the big leagues

how would he play more than once a week? I really don't think you use a legit prospect as a backup catcher. If your starter isn't that great so you can share the position but I'm not taking at bats away from Cal to play Ford. Ford needs to learn another position

[D-train]

Cal leads the league in games played for catchers. Most starting catchers get many more games off
