Seattle Mariners May 22, 2013You Cannot Replace Past Performance
U.S.S. Mariner — One of the most common questions I get asked is why won’t the Mariners bring up Nick Franklin to play shortstop, considering how poorly Brendan Ryan and Robert Andino are hitting right now. This seems to be the primary question Mariners fans are asking every writer, as Larry Stone also tackled this subject yesterday, noting [...]-- This post came from: U.S.S.

Seattle Mariners May 15, 2013Why the Mariners are handcuffed in their middle infield
Mariners Blog | Seattle Times — There has been plenty of justifiable discussion of late pertaining to how the Mariners can continue to carry both Brendan Ryan and Robert Andino on the same roster when Ryan is batting .129 and Andino .169. It's certainly a valid question for any team hoping to win more than it loses. And there is a valid answer that I'm sure very few fans and pundits want to hear: the alternative could be far worse. First of all, bringing up one or both of Carlos Triunfel or Nick Franklin will require dropping either Ryan or Andino. Now, if you drop Ryan from the team, you throw away any of the defensive valu...

April 29, 2013M's pressurizing themselves, and other pre-game notes, April 25
Mariners Blog | Seattle Times — From different sides of the Mariner clubhouse, covering two different experiences, the verdict was the same: The heat is on, and much of it’s self-induced. “I just put so much pressure on myself at times,” said Brendan Ryan, replaced at shortstop by Robert Andino at least in the near-term. “The thing with me, you know what you get defensively, that there should be so little pressure offensively. I know how athletic I am. I know there’s so much more there. “I just try too hard, I don’t know. I get in my own way.” Across the way was Michael Morse, who got off to a sizzling start, then was hit ...
