Fox13 Seattle interviewed Mariners fans. One guy said Servais needed to go, because he didn't get kicked out of games enough.
 
Coach Wilson is the shiznap. Edgar will give some great advice. This will make things fun. It's what was missing in Seattle baseball. Too many games became stress houses with a stressed out Skipper. The love for the game turned into "please get a hit, please get a hit, etc. etc. etc. "

They still couldn’t hit bro. Grease the wheels when they are squeaking not after they fall off.

Have you ever heard of a (baseball) team firing their manager when they are 10 up in the division? It was never going to happen and revisionist history is silly on this.

The bucks firing griffin is an outlier, and you got a much smaller group of players.

It'll still be that way this year, unfortunately

Okay a month ago. I'll agree two months ago probably was a stretch. We all saw this coming. As I recall you even called it for this very reason if they didn't make big moves at the deadline. They need hitting and that has been the situation for a while.

I'm would argue it should have been done (along with a new GM, Baseball operations staff, and ownership) after they missed the playoffs last season.

Yeah we agree on all that.

I didn't want arozarena but tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but it's going like I thought it would.

Sucks man. I'm about to have apathy for the two sports teams I follow lol

We are the Seattle mariners. We arrive late to everything.

naah, Wilson & Martinez are going to bring some smiles back to the dugout. Servais and his crappy hitting coach took the game too gosh darn serious.

MLB baseball an emotionally charged sport. If the head coach locks up and becomes a robot like Scott Servais, then the players won't be comfortable sharing their feelings. Players can't relax, they can't be themselves.

Dan & Edgar will have plenty of emotion to share with the team. They battled during a Golden Era of Mariners baseball. Wild stories of heated competition will help this team when the going gets tough.

It won't make any difference.
 
good stuff in Dan's interview. One of the first things he said was "this is going to be fun". He gave props to Scott Servais. The idea to Coach the Mariners for real has been floating around for awhile.

Dan said he's already worked with many of the players and coaches. He's excited but also serious about winning. Wilson believes Edgar Martinez will be a terrific swing coach.

 
Ramos sent one to the cheap seats in the upper deck. ... 3rd HR for San Francisco
 
Rivas clutch knock in 10th. Nice comeback win on new coach night. Bearhugs in the dugout.
 
a win would have snuck Seattle to 2.5 games back from Astros.

oh well, just wasn't in the cards
