Well, people say the Cliff Lee deal was a bad one for Seattle but I mean, Smoak is still second in the AL in putouts, so you know, can't argue with that.

But they could have had Jesus Montero *and* Michael Pineda!

It's like they said "The Angels have a "Mike" with a fish last name, and he's great. So let's see what ours can do!"

Carp's not actually being promoted, he's returning from the DL.

Every time I see Carp's name in print I mentally read it as "Crap". I guess that's just some kind of flaw in my makeup or something.

Smoak's hitting .213/.278/.391 on the road, so he's earned his demotion. But he's hitting .156/.200/.224 at home. Ye gods. Safeco's turned into the anti-Coors and then some.

Its a feature, not a bug.

When was the last time a team sent down to the minors its leader in home runs this late in the season?

Jack Cust?

But he's hitting .156/.200/.224 at home. Ye gods. Safeco's turned into the anti-Coors and then some.

The Mariners as a whole are hitting 193/272/281. The TEAM is below the Mendoza line and then some.

255/306/415 on the road.

EDIT: Opps are hitting 224/286/337 at Safeco.

That's not real baseball. when good hitters cannot hit the baseball, something has to be fixed. Whatever the anti-humidor is, put the baseball's in that. Or better yet, run more stands toward fair territory along 1B and 3B (extra revenue!), shrinking the foul territory, and bring the OF fences in. If the cold wet air is going to kill offense, balance must be brought back, somehow.

Time to lower the mound.

Or better yet, run more stands toward fair territory along 1B and 3B (extra revenue!),

Just because there are seats does not mean there are people eager to spend money to sit in them. Being closer to the Mariners is not necessarily an incentive.

If the cold wet air is going to kill offense, balance must be brought back, somehow.

Get rid of the cold, wet air! Please!

Perhaps it just shows how great the Mariner pitching and defense have been.
