As we wait to see if the Mariners make another move before Thursday’s trade deadline at 3 p.m., I’m pondering some other things that have been on my mind for a long time now. How is Dylan Moore still on this team? And if he’s still on this team, how does he continue to get playing time? I hope in my next life I get as many chances as Moore. I also hope that if I’m reincarnated as a terrific fielder and subpar hitter, I will be as universally well-liked as Moore has been in his seven years with the Mariners. Since May 28th, Moore has two hits in 54 at-bats. Two hits in two months. In May he had three hits in one game. Even worse, he doesn’t make contact very often, striking out 33 times in those 54 at-bats, whiffing all three times he made plate appearances Monday night against the A’s when
Everyone seems to love Seattle Mariner Dylan Moore, but two hits in two months?
