Nice win
With competent management and a little luck, this team could be .500 or better on this roadtrip with ease. If you had asked most fans if they would be happy with a split given the tough schedule, most would have taken it w/o hesitation.
The current M's team is absolutely capable of being a .500 club. They have an outstanding bullpen, a nice mix of youth and veterans, and decent pitching. That gets you to .500 no problem.
Of course this team isn't .500 though. It's funny how the little things make a big difference. Things like managing a bullpen, a roster, a lineup, a bench... you know, little things.
Upgrade the DH position. That should be the next step without question.
And for goodness sake, shop Meche right now!!
Seriously, if Bavasi isn't on the phones right now at least getting the latest offers on this guy, management should threaten to replace him with Willie Bloomquist.
That should get his attention.
