Mariners Take On Oakland Tuesday

Though the Mariners offense still
isn't great it seemed to have improved
to some degree when facing the Angels
in sweeping them.

The Mariners releasing bench coach
Brown during last week. Mitch Haniger
said he liked his approach however
when things are not going well change
hss to happen.

Speaking of Haniger his defense wasn't
particular good and doesn't help not
hitting at the same time. He seems
recently he has improved in both areas.

Servais the Mariners are still in the mode
of platooning which I am not a big fan of.
If a particular player is struggling at the
plate platooning makes sense however
if he is hitting well platooning doesn't
make sense unless you want to give 
him one day. The Mariners had Monday
off after going through a stretch of playing every day. 

Canzone seems to be the hitter playing
right field against righties. This meas
either Mitch Garver or Mitch Haniger
at dh. The decision should be who is
hitting the best at the time  and the 
history of who they are facing. I would like to see Canzone stay in the game when they face a lefty later on depending on the situation. What I mean if Canzone's spot
is up with no one on base I would like to see him hit against the lefty. The score 
should be taken in consideration as well. 
The Mariners have runners on base I
could see pinch hitting for him with either Haniger or Garver. Also how Canzone has done in his previous at bats as well. I
believe a hitter like Canzone still needs to face some lefties.

Now we see how the offense goes
against the A's. We should expect 
the Mariners win two out of three or
sweep them. The Mariners face the Royals 
this coming weekend. A very good team
the measure of the offense will give
us a better idea whether improvement
or not. Go Mariners.
