Why would he DFA the more versatile and moderately better performing Ruggiano instead of Rickie Weeks? Weeks looks like he is done.

I heard Jack interviewed yesterday after the trade. He intimated that he's done a great job putting an outstanding roster together, but said that the players aren't getting the job done.

I also like how he upgrades the offense by getting a guy with a .298 OBP, instead of going after some bullpen help which is what this team needs most.

Jack's comments sound like a guy that will scapegoat the manager here shortly

He can't, their fates are tied. He'll do the exact opposite actually.

I'd say the biggest problem is .OBP (28th in the league) followed by a below average success with RISP, particularly at home.

Trumbo went 2 for 4 yesterday (with two Ks) and his .OBP is average for the team (just below .300). The guys who are killing us are (TSIO): Ackley, Zunino, and...wait for it....CANO. Cano is hitting a little bit better of late (seeing the ball better and hitting it harder) but his .OBP is just .288.

I hate hearing Jack interviewed on the radio. I get so irritated by his fucking voice. I hate the way he says "ball club" and he says it every 3 seconds.

Flagged for listening to a radio station that plays interviews with Mariners personnel.

Sandmeyer's show is surprisingly listenable.
