Another injured pitcher. The new guy, an extreme GB pitcher, serves up a HR to the first batter he faces. I truly think we're in a simulation that is pushing the limits of our sanity.
I'd be more ok with it if Peterson had another year of control but we need a healthy not terrible starter and his underlying numbers are better than the ERA indicates. Losing Mathis is a bummer but it's not an insane overpay.
I know Cam Sisneros doesn't have the highest ceiling but why are we trading assets for another DFAd reliever? Jed is literally stockpiling everyone's AAA castoffs.
Michael Rucker's contract purchased by the Mariners. He has a 1.59 ERA in AAA this season. He missed all of last year with TJS.
Mariners now have Rucker, Brennen Davis, Patrick Wisdom and Miles Mastrobuoni all on the 40 man roster.
I looked away for like 20 minutes and then saw the score and actually laughed.
Someone gets fired over this right? Should be Hoyer but at least has to be Dustin Kelly? Maybe a demotion or two, couple of phantom IL stints. Nothing is working aside from one inning last night.
Is there some crazy scenario where we send Shaw and Mo to the Giants for Logan Webb and maybe Eldridge? Get an ace and a big power bat, though I'm sure it would cost more than that.
