Still a dumb move. Cost you the game.

Stripling said it was a good move and that he was tired when Dave came and got him.

Bullpen blew it.

yeah, young player that is still fighting for a roster spot was going to blast his manager in public

St. Louis is the most loyal fan base.

Top 5 Teams for the most loyal fans this year, with last year’s rankings in parentheses:

1. St. Louis Cardinals (#1)
2. Los Angeles Dodgers (#3)
3. San Francisco Giants (#2)
4 Detroit Tigers (#4)
5. Washington Nationals (#5)

The bottom five with last year’s rankings in parenthesis:

30. Seattle Mariners (#25)
29. Arizona Diamondbacks (#29)
28. Colorado Rockies (#28)
27. San Diego Padres (#24)
26. Houston Astros (#30)

http://mlb.nbcsports.com/2016/04/11/the-cardinals-have-the-most-loyal-fans-mariners-the-least/

So, basically the successful teams have the most loyal fan bases, and the crappy teams don't. :lol:

M's dead last. :lol:

If it's based on success, then why are the Dodgers in the top 5?

Its rated year to year, according to the study. So, the Dodgers likely weren't top 5, a decade ago.

Getting smacked at home by the Marlins right now.

Good to see some MLB discussion here. Looking forward to another year of the Angels disappointing me all season long. :lol:

The Angel's, Bill's, and Pelicans? How did you come up with those teams? Having followed the Mariners the last 20 plus years, I know all about disappointing baseball. :wink:
