Options may be limited, so it may be impractical. But some sort of roster shakeup for the #Mariners before the upcoming roadtrip might help.
Two unproven middle infielders to go with a smorgasbord of underperforming right-handed platoon/reserve bats is a suboptimal combination.
By my count, Boston has four left-handed hitters, plus a switch-hitter in its lineup vs #Mariners right-handed starter Emerson Hancock.
Interested to see how this plays out. Hancock entered today with the 14th lowest OPS vs lefty hitters among RHP who’ve faced 150+ LHB.
Full disclosure: I knew Seattle and other US cities were hosting World Cup games. But I didn't realize the US was hosting the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final until yesterday.
I've fallen behind in current affairs over the last few years. Grief can do that to you.
