This is bad…
We are now two games behind the Nationals in the race for last place.
(Well, 2 games ahead really, but you gert mt point.)
Can you imagine this rotation?
Felix
Strasburg
Morrow
Aumont

The future is bright.

several of the players have commented on the improved communication, which is interesting as Mac was the conduit for player communication in his bench coach days …

In one of the interviews, of RRS, I think, I thought I heard the heresy of: “There’s better communication between the players and the coaches now…”

Hm. Interesting. Remember the criticism of those two unnamed coaches after the Bavasi/McLaren cleaning-out, about the pitchers being more (hm, is the word “dedicated” accurate enough?) interested in winning than the hitters on this team?

Yeah, read it in the newspapers, hitters, that’s how your coaches communicate with you.

One hopes that the level of communication on this Mariners team has progressed beyond that in the past 2 weeks.

Is the fact that we ARE now winning the main reason Lee Pelekoudas and Co. continue to tolerate Vidro and Sexson’s horribleness?

Fun fact for the day:

Vidro’s OPS is now lower than Cairo’s.

well, postgame, RA Dickey said the Clubhouse Chemistry was real good right now, what with the winning.

My guess is it’d have to be an improvement to the mortuary that was under McVasi.

the little bit I saw, he was cheerfuly answering the ‘who was your hero growing up’ question.

Pat Hentgen, it turns out.

Considering he’s from a town not too far out of Ottawa, that’s not too surprising.

No. But then again, where are our chemistry pre-game reports?

Fox Sports is doing an exclusive interview with him tomorrow. I was in too much shock to get the rest of it.

Just thought I’d share.
