Inciteful Interview! Divish is old school............
Great content mate, keep it up!
Appreciate it!
Liking the Havre Blue Ponies t-shirt and Montana vibe.
Good stuff. The Julio part of this conversation speaks volumes to the hitting approach of the M's. Why is it that good hitters come to Seattle and don't execute? The player? The hitting strategy? Been following the for many years and I see a pattern...just sayin'
So all the media is trying to get rid of Ty France who is the 3rd besthitter on this team
The problem is the batter eye... It's obvious... Mariners hitters back in early May had over a .100 OPS advantage on the road vs their numbers at home. While pitchers were a run better on their ERA at home over the same period. At this point the hitters are so negative and pressing so hard that the whole team is collectively crap at home and on the road. While the hitters are bad across the board, our world beating pitchers are a 4.50 ERA on the road with an equally bad 4.39 FIP and 4.26 xFIP... At home they have a 2.61 ERA collectively with an equally stellar 2.90 FIP and 3.27 xFIP. They pitch more fastballs than any team and if the batter's eye is effecting offense in Seattle, it would make sense that the fastest pitch (slowest reaction time) will lead to worse results. However, if you get a good batter's eye then a fastball is the easiest pitch to track with the least movement, so it will in turn make the pitcher more vulnerable. This is why the Mariners should be developing pitching, trading it for stars who can hit blindfolded, and improve the batters eye in some way. I really think the weird angle is the problem.
Enjoyed the interview Ryan... but c'mon bro. At what point do we call a spade a spade? This isn't new. If Dipoto can't get the right guys, if Scott can't get the message across, if the hitting coaches can't make an impact... it boils down to the culture. When the culture repeats outcomes over and over it's time for change.
Bingo, we have years of the same results, very similiar struggles and constants that have not changed within this organization. Attitude reflects leadership or lack thereof...Was it Passan who was just on MYNWest a few days ago and in one sentence saying how he is impressed by Dipoto but then talks about the offense past few years and can't bring himself to call out the same guy. He goes on about how its gonna hurt and cost us to get some bats (same tired names we saw all offseason) Trader Jerry, that's suppose to be his wheelhouse, yet same guy who got ZERO value for Marco and Flexen when they had value, same with Haniger knowing he wasn't even going to offer him a QO, and then botches FA every single year, dipstick still doesnt realize you HAVE to augment your team builds with FA of quality, can't keep dumpster diving with the likes of Pollack, LaStella, Wong, Garver. It's sickening and demoralizing.
