The Seattle Mariners terrible loss, was one of the worst that I have seen in a long time.I really feel bad for Doug Fister. Fister has had tough breaks all season long,and I was really hoping that we could pull the went out for him today. It seems like he really gets no run support from game to game. Finally, it look like we could get him some runs that would get him the win for the game. However, he was not able to come out on top, and in the end he ended up getting another loss. This was very disappointing for me, and now his record will hold at three and eight when he should be, perhaps the opposite, add egg and three with the way that he has been pitching. Coming into the bay he had an ERA in the mid-threes and I expect that it will be much lower after the way that he pitched today.
What made this law so hard was that there was really no one to blame. I do not think that they should have left Brandon league in the game, and I feel bad for David Pauley because he had to come into the game called after someone line drive to a ball and two leagues leg. in all I thought the Mariners played a pretty good game. It is a shame that it had to end up this way. I guess if you were going to blame someone, I would blame David Pauley.
If there was any bright spot today it was Dustin Ackley. I am very pleased with the way that he has been playing so far, and I expect that he will continue to be a great player for us moving forward. He singled on his first day, hit a home run on his second day, tripled on his third day, and has continued to tear it up with RBIs on a daily basis since that time. I hope that he will continue to produce at a level that he has so far, and will be an asset to us defensively at second base as he has been so far. They said that one of his biggest problems coming up was his defense at second base, but I have not seen that so far. In fact, he is a pretty good overall.
Why was Brandon League even in? Fister had gone eight strong. And if League was coming in, why not bat for Fister in the eighth? Eric Wedge had a large hand in losing that game.
