2K24: Seattle Mariners

[Ken]

I wonder how long the water cooler is out for?

I dont know but it deserves it for striking out like that.

Julio Rodriguez made a slight change to his batting stance before Wednesday's game and is now 13-16 with 4 or more hits in his last 3 games. He also has 2 HR, 8 RBI, & 4 SB in those 3 games. I think it's working.

With their win tonite and the Jays' loss, Mariners are now the last wild card team.

Wow Julio is really en fuego!



From the Seattle Times:
"It was just about 24 hours earlier, during one of their regular pregame sessions in the batting cages, that DeHart and Rodriguez continued their ongoing attempts to tweak the “load” in the slugger’s swing.
Rodriguez, at times, has gotten too demonstrative, too big, with that load. He would tend to drop his hands a bit too much and dip his back leg a bit too far, which in turn caused him to feel like he had to speed up his swing.

“We’ve been trying to slow [the load] down and get it quieter,” DeHart said. “We just tried to eliminate it. Get it out of there.”

What they decided to do before Wednesday’s game was have Rodriguez widen his stance. Nothing dramatic, but enough of a shift where Rodriguez felt like he was better connected to the ground and didn’t need an aggressive load before each swing."

Rodriguez is only the 2nd player in MLB history to have at least 4 hits in 4 straight games. The other player - household name Milt Stock for the 1925 Brooklyn Dodgers.

In the last week, JRod has raised his BA from .255 to .278! Since August 4, he's 32-for-66 with 21 RBIs. Yowza.

[madducks]

Only one hit today. Time to drop him.

He's the stock answer for a bunch of vintage baseball trivia.

I think I've got a bunch of photos of him.

Sounds like you are well stocked.

Julio Rodriguez hit his 50th career home run on Saturday. He's the fastest player in Mariners history to reach 50 home runs, doing it in 256 games.

Alex Rodriguez needed 269 games and Ken Griffey Jr. needed 377 games to reach 50 career home runs.
