Changes must be made

The Mariners have now dropped 6 games in a row at the hands of horrible pitching from their starter. The Mariners pitching have now allowed 46 runs in the past 6 games. During this losing streak the Mariners have shown us that they have lost team unity. In quoting Danny Glover from Angels in the Outfield "I have never ever seen a worst group of 25 players! You don't think as a team, you don't play as a team, you don't even lose as a team!". I swear if Lou Pinella was still managing the team he would have had 8 heart attacks, 10 strokes, 36 aneurisms, and would have been restrained from killing the players. This team has also had a lot of anger from the fans including myself, I'm not going to lie I'm pissed off as well. The Mariners are just making fans in Seattle wish football season would come even faster. The Mariners thank God have an off day tomorrow to get their heads out of their asses and make some call ups to improve the team.

The Mariners called a team-member only meeting after the game to probably discuss their problems and to probably discuss the problems that they are having with each other. Now, during this upcoming day off the Mariners front office need to make some decisions both managerial and roster wise. To me Eric Wedge is not a manager that I want managing this team. He is constantly making excuses for poor performances from the players, he does nothing but keep his thumb up his ass and just watches his team lose, lose, and lose in a horrible fashion, and I never see him stand up for the team. If Pinella was managing the team he would have been ejected in about 15-20 games, all Wedge does is just stare and says nothing to the umpires when they make mistakes or horrible calls. 

The roster moves that the Mariners could/should possibly make are these. Robert Andino should be DFA'd and call up Carlos Triunfel. Why not Nick Franklin you ask? Because rushing Franklin is a bad idea, look what happened to Dustin Ackley. The same goes with Mike Zunino, with how bad Jesus Montero has been producing the Mariners may have no choice but to give Zunino the call up. Another move the Mariners have to make is to improve the pitching staff. Aaron Harang and Brandon Maurer must be sent down. Maurer struggles with both his control and consistency to pitch deep into the late innings, while Harang has struggles from day one since the Mariners signed his washed up has been ass! 

Jack Zduriencik once again made me scratch my head when he signed a worthless pitcher when he had plenty of free agents to choose from. One more pitcher that should be sent down should be Lucas Luetge. Now the best candidate's for the call up should be Jeremy Bonderman, Blake Beaven, and Andrew Carraway for the starting pitching or call all three and place Beaven in the bullpen. Logan Bowcom is another great choice for a bullpen pitcher.

All of these moves are possible in the next two days but I hardly doubt that Eric Wedge has the brains to make the moves.
