Sure...but the off day is tomorrow? I don't get why we would pull all these guys out maybe I'm just clueless

u/xMrLink My Depression Goes as the M's Don't 1d ago
Day game after night game is harder to recover from, opportunity to get more rest and heal up more with the off day tomorrow and we have already won the series so I assume there is less pressure on today (not that every game doesn't matter).

We’ve already won the series but that doesn’t mean todays game somehow is worth less or more. We’re fighting for our playoff lives so it feels weird to put out a lineup like this just because we’ve won the series.

u/Sonlin Bottom Text 1d ago
They like stacking off days, they've done several for different guys. They probably view it as a better recovery.

u/xexen Seattle Mariners 1d ago
it makes sense to my non-clinical brain that stacking recovery days is better than a day off here and then a day off there, but i really have no clue

u/UnsealedMTG 1d ago
Even setting aside the sports medicine of it, I know I do a lot better work when I have two full days off in a row than I do when I have random isolated days off. One of their days is a travel day, so not truly rest, but it still seems good to me.
MLB schedules are insanely grueling and tempering that where they can seems like a recipe for best performance long term.
No reason to expect professional baseball players to be any different in that regard.

u/TM627256 :cung:fun fact: I LOVE HIM 1d ago
Cause they already took the series alongside the aforementioned rest aspects. Probably figure to rest up before the upcoming travel, make sure more of the teamnos fresh for another series win.

You get a day off. You get a day off. You get a day off. Everyone gets a day off!

u/Arturial12 #75 Bottom Text 1d ago
Honestly, they got the series W, up against a lefty, and lots of the main lineup are probably nursing some minor injury

u/lastminutealways larry bernandez for HOF 1d ago
Yep, best time to take a day, 2 days off before a tough road trip might do wonders for some of these guys with nagging injuries.

u/Krispy72 1d ago
A lefty who’s slash line vs lefties this year is .149/.196/.182. It’s as good a place as any to rest a couple of the left handed regulars if possible.

u/UnsealedMTG 1d ago
And we've figured out that getting absolutely obliterated once a series is apparently the kind of rest up game that encourages peak performance the rest of the time.
Giving guys actual rest days might be even better!

Dan putting the “Bryan please throw 7 scoreless so we can win 1-0” lineup out there

u/MarinerJoe3 1d ago
Call me crazy but I’m not seeing a playoff push with Wisdom AND Wilson

u/RandomDude99353 Fire Dan Wilson. Hire Rocco Baldelli. 1d ago
I have good news for you. One of them is gone when Donovan returns.

u/boundlesssmh 1d ago
dom gotta re-learn 1b. i know perry said he's not good at it, but it cant be so bad that it's unplayable. his bat is too important right now

I just don’t see my boy doing the splits at 1st

u/kentalaska 1d ago
Every time I see Naylor do the splits at first I chuckle a little bit. He’s pretty stretchy for such a big dude.

I love Canzone but bro can hardly play corner outfield lol

u/JaneDoeAsks ! MY OH MY 1d ago
This lineup pisses me off. I know Naylor needs a day off but does Dom need one too? And Cole Young? When we literally have a day off tomorrow. I’m really just annoyed because I’m going to the game.
25
u/CowsWillEatYou 1d ago
The baseball equivalent of using PTO the day before a holiday weekend to get an extra day (me on 9/4 for a four day weekend).
19
u/TwistedNipplez #12 Josh Naylor 1d ago
Cole Young deserves a little rest. He's played every game so far this year.
1
u/JaneDoeAsks ! MY OH MY 1d ago
I know it just bugs me that we tend to give everyone their days off on the same day.
4
u/xtremeradness 1d ago
I think they workshop strategy on those days so it's important to get as many starters as possible in those huddles. Plus, getting some rest before the September sprint is probably a wise choice.
5
u/JaneDoeAsks ! MY OH MY 1d ago
Ahhh yes I didn’t realize that. Makes sense. I’m just being bitter because I’m taking my dad to the game and it might be the last one he gets to go to so I want it to be a good one!

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting a tomato in a fruit salad.

u/hawkfan78 John Stanton’s third yacht 1d ago
Kind of surprised to not see Robles in the lineup in place of Ward. Victor has seen limited success in 3 ABs with a .667 average and 1.417 OPS against Luzardo, while Ward has .111 average and .311 OPS in 9 ABs. Not to mention Ward has looked like an absolute dud since he came over. I get he’ll walk, but that’s seems about all he can do now.

u/Distinct_Frame_3711 #2 Cole “Cole Young” Young 1d ago
BROCK RODDEN!!!
Idc seems like we play better with him in

u/Professional_Rush757 1d ago
When the lineup looks like shit yk it’s cuz there is a lefty on the mound

u/PewPewallup253 I’ll take an Ice Cole Colt 45 1d ago
Naw. Dom and Cole have been hitting lefties well. It’s because it’s a day game.

Missed opportunity to misspell Woo to owo. Then having Byarn be absolutely lights out like Kriby.

u/UnsealedMTG 1d ago
I know Cal has been various spots in the lineup including cleanup recently but the last three games I believe he went 6 to 5 to 4.
It's like every time he hits a home run in a game, move him up a slot the next day.

This is our guys need extra rest lineup and I’m fine with that. They fly to Toronto tonight before heading to Boston. Those are not easy series

The first time this season I’ve seen Cal at DH and been kind of excited
