Mariners shake up roster in playoff push

Victor Robles is back in the Mariners’ lineup way ahead of schedule, just months after a serious shoulder injury and with only 29 minor league at-bats under his belt. The twist? He’s still appealing a 10-game suspension for a wild bat toss, so the team will soon play short-handed until rosters expand. Meanwhile, longtime fan favorite Dylan Moore is out, ending an era for Seattle’s most versatile player. With the playoff race heating up, how do you feel about the Mariners’ bold gamble? Will Robles spark the offense, or is this a risky move? #Sports #Baseball #Mariners

No question that Moore had hit the bottom: terribly ineffective at the plate AND surprisingly noticeable decline in defensive skill. Why? Who knows; just happened. Can Solano be far behind? And, getting Robles back ahead of schedule is GREAT! I understand easing him back into the lineup (batting 9th today, the one big hit and some other good contact), but his greatest value will come when he can resume the leadoff, "spark plug" role he was so very good at. That will be really big! The day belonged to Raleigh, but the "down the stretch" value of Robles may prove every bit as important. Just hope that 10-game suspension doesn't kill too much of that value.

send him to get his eyes checked, even his defense has suffered. Player with those kind of skills, doesn't deteriorate that quickly. 😞
