#86: Wedge Fed Up With 'Groundhog Day' Mariners

GAME: Mariners (35-50, 4th, AL West, – 15.5 GB) at Athletics (42-42, 3rd, AL West, – 8.0 GB). GAME #: 86. SERIES: 2nd of 3 games. MEETING: 12th (Mariners lead 6-5). WHEN: Saturday, 7:10, Oakland Coliseum. PROBABLE PITCHERS: LHP Jason Vargas (7-7, 4.31) vs. RHP Jarrod Parker (5-3, 2.46). STREAKS: Mariners L 3; Athletics W 5. TV: ROOT Sports, MLB TV. RADIO: KIRO 710 (Seattle), Mariners Radio Network.

After Oakland scored an 11th-inning, 4-1 walk-off win over the Mariners Friday night, Seattle manager Eric Wedge indicated that he will probably use next week’s four-day All-Star break to re-jigger his moribund offense, which struck out 14 times against five Athletics pitchers and couldn’t cross the plate after scoring one run in the first inning.

“It’s been Groundhog Day too many times for me,” said Wedge, after the Mariners dropped their third in a row and 50th of the season. “We’re in the process of evaluating everybody and everything. We’re a couple of days away from the All-Star break. We’re just not going to keep watching what we’re watching. We’re not going to watch people keep doing the same thing over and over and live with it.

“We’re going to do what we need to do to get better in the second half offensively. I know how (general manager) Jack (Zduriencik) feels about it, I know how I feel about it, I know how the staff feels about it. We’re not going to keep watching this over and over again. We’ve been patient, we’ve addressed things in different ways, but ultimately they’re grown men out there and they’re either going to get it done or they won’t be here.”

Saturday, Wedge will trot out Jason Vargas to oppose the “historic” Jarrod Parker. Vargas had three consecutive losses in the middle of June, but has bounced back nicely in his last two, including a start against Oakland June 26 when he set a career high with 10 strikeouts.

Parker has given up one run or fewer in his last four outings, seven of his last eight, and 10 of 14 in his career, dating back to Sept. 27, 2011, when he made his major league debut for Arizona.

According to Elias, Parker is one of just two pitchers since 1900 to give up one run or fewer in 10 of his first 14 career starts, joining former New York Giants pitcher Ferdie Schupp, who did it from 1913-17.

Parker sounds like exactly the kind of guy the struggling Mariners do not need to see right now. A closer look:

MARINERS: LHP Jason Vargas (7-7, 4.31 ERA, 1.17 WHIP)

The 29-year-old Vargas, in his seventh major league season and fifth with the Mariners, will make his 19th start and fourth against the Athletics. Vargas is 2-1 against Oakland this season and is coming off a 2-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox at Safeco Field June 26.

A native of Apple Valley, CA., the 6-0, 215-pound Vargas was selected in the second round of the 2004 amateur draft by the Florida Marlins.

He made his debut with Florida July 14, 2005, pitching one inning of relief in a 13-7 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Mariners acquired Vargas as part of a three-team swap Dec. 11, 2008, when the New York Mets sent him along with Mike Carp, Ezequiel Carrera, Endy Chavez, Maikel Cleto and Aaron Heilman to the Mariners. The Mariners sent Sean Green, J.J. Putz and Jeremy Reed to the Mets.

The Mariners also sent Luis Valbuena to the Indians. The Mets sent Joe Smith to the  Indians, who sent Franklin Gutierrez to the Mariners.

Vargas, the only lefty in Seattle’s starting rotation, has a career record of 35-46, 4.32 ERA, including 29-38, 4.21 ERA with the Mariners.

ATHLETICS: RHP Jarrod Parker (5-3, 2.46 ERA, 1.22 WHIP)

The 23-year-old Parker, in his second major league season and first with the Athletics, makes his 14th start and his second against the Mariners. Parker defeated Seattle 2-1 June 27 and is coming off a 6-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox July 2.

A native of Ossian, IN, the 6-1, 195-pound Parker attended Norwell High School in Ossian. The Arizona Diamondbacks selected Parker in the first round (ninth pick) of the 2007 amateur draft.

Parker pitched in the Arizona system until Sept. 27, 2011, when he made his major league debut in Arizona’s 7-6 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Parker did not allow an earned run in 5.2 innings, but did not factor in the decision. That marked Parker’s only major league appearance in 2011.

The Diamondbacks traded Parker with Ryan Cook and Collin Cowgill to the Oakland Athletics Dec. 9, 2011 for Craig Breslow and Trevor Cahill.

Parker has a career record of 5-3, 2.30 ERA, 1.19 WHIP.

• 2012: Parker began the season at AAA Sacramento and made his first major league appearance April 25. Parker had a no decision in a 5-4 Oakland win over the White Sox.

LAST GAME

Athletics 4, Mariners 1

AT OAKLAND (July 6): Rookie Chris Carter crushed a three-run, walk-off home run off Steve Delabar in the 11th inning, giving the Oakland Athletics a 4-1 win over the Mariners, who dropped their third straight. “I don’t know if the ball has landed yet,” Oakland manager Bob Melvin said after Carter’s blast. “Coming in late like that you’ve got to be perfect,” said Delabar. “And I wasn’t perfect. “The location was up a little bit and he got it.” Jordan Norberto (1-1) struck out the side in the 11th inning for his first win. The Mariners wasted a solid start by Kevin Millwood, who worked 7.0 innings, allowing three hits and two walks. The Mariners scored their only run when Kyle Seager singled in the first to score Casper Wells.
