Raul Ibanez is my least favorite Mariner

I was at the Mariners game tuesday night against the Twins and a few things stuck out to me.

While jeff weaver pitched pretty well through 4 innings, Mike Hargrove was too slow with the hook. With the bases loaded he let Weaver pitch to Torii Hunter. Just so we’re clear, there wasn’t anyone even up in the bullpen. I’m not a seasoned Mariners fan yet, is this normal?

The second thing I’ve come to know is that Raul Ibanez is the laziest outfielder I’ve ever seen. In the 7th when Joe Mauer hit a “double” to left center, Ibanez lazily strided to his left, and pulled up before he reached the ball. I think Ichiro was shocked. Ichiro could have made the play but it looked like he pulled up too because ibanez was going to “make” the play. This guy’s a butcher in left. And this year his bat isn’t making up for it.

What I’ve so far about the Mariners

  • Mariners games are really fun, and the bleachers are some of the best seats in the house.
  • Mike Hargrove doesn’t handle his pitching staff very well (even if it is Jeff Weaver)
  • Raul Ibanez sucks
