Now, while there isn't an excuse for playing Olivo at DH, there are at least mitigating factors to be considered for not playing one of the hard hitting benchies or Seager in his place.
First, Seager is 2 for thirteen against lefties this year with no walks.
Second, Jaso is a lefty, which is not ideal.
Third, going into the game, the M's were facing some 88 mph meatballer rookie substitute named Wilks. If there were ever a guy who could help Olivo smash some of that 19 home run power, and get a tape measure highlight reel shot in to boost his confidence and get his mojo back, Wilks would have been him. It's not like the Mariners had to face Doug Fister tonight.
