Gilbert vs.Rogers G.T. 8/13/25

[DavidGee24]

I told Divish to grow a pair and ask Dan wtf was he thinking with Garver at DH and Moore in the lineup. He got pissed and said Dan wouldn't give straight answer so why ask him. This was my response. The first part in quotes is what another guy in my X chat said.

I get what Divish is saying re Dan not actually answering the questions, but it’s still your job to ask him the questions, man. I have LOTS of patients who are non-compliant and will cuss me out and tell me they aren’t listening to me and will leave against medical advice. Doesn’t mean I can just be like “well, I already know how this person will respond, no point in trying.” Na, it’s still my job to try.

Exactly! Make them sweat and question why after a great trade deadline and an 8 game winning streak that allows you to finally scratch and claw you way back into 1st place after blowing it in June do you put your two worst hitters in the lineup just for the fuck of it.

That is what kills me about them. They just can't stay out of their own why the ALWAYS have to fuck around and last night they found out AGAIN. I just never ends. They never EVER learn. So damn Maddening.

It's the stupid lefty/righty thing that they're slaves to. Canzone has emerged as a good MLB hitter and has even gone a decent 8-35 against lefties, D-Mo has like one hit in the last two months, yet D-Mo gets the start because he hits right-handed. And look at how it turned out.

Dan Wilson, 14 year ML catcher who's a pansy, that's what I love about this place lol

D Mo has two hits since the middle of May. That is bad....real bad. But let's keep running him out there. Mentally? That poor guy is broken. He probably doesn't even want on the field.

Well, this organization has proven that you toe the line or you can walk. I mean, do a quick Google search of Mariner Managers and you will see that of late? More of them walk then get fired. We had a manager quit mid season! They demand Yes Men.

My guess is he has voices in his head when he walked out there telling him two more years of Gilbert are more important than any pennate chase, 54%, blah fucking blah.

I think that the reason they took Gilbert out is because he tends to totally cave in at that point. The Oriholes broadcasters showed a graphic with opposing batting averages against Gilbert the first, second and third trips through the lineup. First trip was about .140, second trip about .200, third trip over .310, and we've seen what Gilbert does at that point in the game too many times. Speier has been money, he just wasn't last night and of course D-Mo was the Oriholes' MVP.

That makes more sense than Gilbert whining about shoulder soreness. But who knows? Sometimes Pitchers need to get out of their own head. He has probably read the same bullshit about third time through the order and we know they have ALL read about how they need to throw around 90 pitches a game or they will die.

For obvious reasons, all starting pitchers have a more difficult time the third time through the order. But I think this tendency is exacerbated with Mariners' pitchers because of their insistence on throwing fastballs 70% of the time.

Good point.

It's 2025. Grow a pair or GTFO. Were are raising a nation of panses, sorry. Sack up. Tough love. Screw your feelings. Lou would never put up with this. Why can't we have an owner who's passionate. Screw feelings. I'm not here to be your friend. I'm here to win a ring that's it.
