Saunders 2015 - 6 games, 31 at bats, 6 hits, zero extra base hits, 10K's.... Can we have him back please</p>

<p>It's games like these that really make me question Felix's ace-ness. I don't doubt he's tough and he's a great pitcher... But like his blowout in #Toronto late last year, he just has these huge clunkers that come along when you least need them.</p>
<p>Felix already has a 'fades late' reputation that's mentioned occasionally. If the M's can't get a playoff team going, he's going to be Bert Blyleven'd on his way to the Hall.</p>
<p>Matt: However, Ken Rosenthal had a good tweet today... "The renewed fan excitement in KC, #Toronto and #Pittsburgh brings to mind an old adage: Markets don’t fail baseball. Baseball fails markets."</p>
<div class="indented">Reply - Browns8625 - 8/16/15 6:39am<br>Very true for all sports. Winning can change alot</div>
<p>Here's a stat: Mariners now with 15 blown saves. the League leader is #Toronto with 17 blown saves. It says here that a team cannot put together a long winning streak without a great bullpen.</p>

<p>My Dream Team: Dave Dombrowski for Chief Baseball Officer/President of Baseball Operations/COO (La Russa / Friedman role, with Mather remaining in Kasten-type CEO role), Larry Beinfest for GM and ExecVP, and Jim Beattie for AGM/Director of Player Development and Minor Leagues Director. Keep TomMac as Director of Amateur Scouting and keep Ted Simmons as a senior adviser and coordinator of coaching programs. Keep anyone else the top trio wants, including McClendon and his coaches for now.
<p>Zobrist with 2 HR's and a 2B today, including a blast off of Mark Low, who gives up 3 in the 8th and gets the loss for #Toronto. KC gets their return on the Zobrist investment in a hurry!</p>
