Why? I’m not sure.
Jaso has never really profiled as a lead off hitter, though Wedge has displayed he will go with the hot hand when the occasion calls for it. With Ackley slumping, I could think of worse choices to stick at the top of the lineup. Ryan however, is still inexplicably hitting second.
In other news Seager will play 2B tonight with Liddi manning the hot corner. Ackley has the night off.
I used to hate Baseball. There was always this epic battle between my father and I-- afternoon cartoons or the baseball game. A battle I seldom won. I came around to Seattle Mariners Baseball in 2002 however, and now my my kids will have to battle me for the TV. The Bavasi era made me the fan I am today, and even though it was rough, I thank him for forcing me to become a more intelligent analyst... that however will be the only thing you'll ever see me thank him for. Seattle Mariners baseball is my passion, and I cherish any opportunity I get to write about it.
