Waiting for Maddon to send Goodwin up to pinch hit for Upton.

Not the minors.

To Long Beach.

[Angel Oracle]

Can’t wait for Upton’s sombrero in the 9th.

Exactly -- he needs reps.    The kid missed half of last year too.   

Agreed. Not like he tore it up hitting wise either.

I'm not of the opinion he will necessarily be a star. There are questions.  If he has a career like Justin Upton has.. you should be happy, though. And I can see that happening. Maybe more but probably unlikely. Upton's had a great career

That would actually be genius.  So, I advise against us holding our breath.

Fucken Ump! That was Ball 4 on Fletcher.

People won't like that comp because he's in the shitter right now but I agree.  Mike Cameron is a comp I liked for Adell because of the speed/power, but Cameron used to milk walks.     Regardless a career like either guy would be a pretty solid

Way to capitalize on a blown call by the UMP!

[southpaw]

I like Daddy Trout better than No Daddy Trout

[Vlad27Trout27]

Daddy Trout > 1st 40s game Trout!

[Lou]

Trout should have more kids.

It was also strike three on Trout.

[Inside Pitch]

Say what you will but Trout has been the Mariners' Daddy since day 1...

[Claude]

Upton must feel like shit.

[Justin]

Dad strength is real

 

[Claude]

Trout is so damn clutch.

I like the guy, I think he's better than he's shown but this is the worst he's ever looked and I wouldn't blame him if he does.

Maybe @tdawg87 can become a tranny and have a uterus installed. I'm sure he'd comply.

Again?

I know Upton is everybody's new whipping boy this year. However, he has always been streaky. With him being platooned, gonna be tough for him to get in a groove. I know he has struggled the year, but he can also get hot and carry a club.
