    DEFCON Dipoto

    I think we have a new nickname for him, after reading this and finding out what was said before the season started: https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-slow-starting-teams-2024 As if we needed another reason to hate on him...

    Mariners 2024 Season Predictions

    Someone had to start the thread, and I'm surprised no one has yet, BUT here we are, a new season approaches, Spring Training already started... (honestly, we need more a BOOT CAMP than a mere Spring Training...) and with what little we have this year...meh... I'll start by saying that I don't...

    2023-24 Season

    Two games in, and already two of my questions regarding the team got their early answers: GOALTENDING: Grubauer is still the top goalie, and is still prone to the puck getting past him more often than it should, but I'm starting to realize that he's more the King Felix of the team. Even if he...

    Let's fall to Houston while at home now... - May 5-7

    No offense, and Astros jump to a 3-0 lead. Yeah, we just wanna end the game early, and L. Castillo is looking to do just that.

    2023 Kraken PLAYOFF thread!

    How's THAT for a second-year franchise, ah?! Not only a record setting win differential from first season to second, but a wild card spot as well! And how do we start things off in the postseason? By taking Game 1, 3-1, against the DEFENDING CHAMPION AVALANCHE! I actually felt confident going...

    Series Thread: Angels @ M's, April 3-5

    Okay, so the Cleveland series was "one and done" for us, as we could only manage the one win in the season opener. So now we face the Angels, and something tells me we won't have the wake up call like we did against them last June. The starting pitchers for the three games: Monday: Detmers vs...

    Game Thread: 49ers at Seahawks, Thursday Night Predictaball

    Not looking forward to this one. Considering how we've played the last few weeks... no, correct that...Considering how we've let other teams run through us the last few weeks, I can only see an easy division clinch for San Fran this week. But maybe Geno can at least get back to form and keep...

    Can we petition for the team to NEVER use Robbie Ray ever again?

    Would be nice if this were a thing...

    Series Thread: ALDS - M's at Houston

    DAMN, that Toronto series was something! The turnaround to give us the sweep...I'm sure everyone's heads are gonna be reeling after that! But now we have to get ready for the Big Time...The Asterisks. Anyone think we can squeeze a few W's outta this? Houston isn't exactly one we had a good...

    PLAYOFF TIME!!!

    With that 9th inning solo shot by Raleigh, the deed is done. Somewhere above us, Dave Niehaus sheds tears of joy.

    Series Thread: M's @ Royals for 3

    Series underway in KC. Solid first inning for both pitchers, but I am nervous about Marco's performance today, you can prob guess.

    Series Thread: M's at Yankees, August 1-3

    Not gonna lie, after that Houston series, I don't see us faring any better against another division leader.

    Series Thread: A's @ M's, May 23-25: The Greatest Series

    Or, The Battle for the Basement The Tank Series call it whatever you will. Last year, both Seattle and Oakland were charging and trying for a playoff spot, only for both to come up short. This year, neither team looks to contend. A half game keeps us out of the bottom of the division thanks to...

    Sorry, Pete, but your time is up.

    Can't thank him enough for the great seasons, but it's becoming more and more imminent that he has no clue how to run this team anymore. Yesterday, the Huskies fired their coach after choking to the Sun Devils, so hopefully this is a wake-up call to Carroll and the Hawks. There was NO EFFORT...

    Which should be the best season opener for 2021-22?

    The season starts tonight, and the other 28 teams will follow in the next couple of days. That said, let's get a look at every team's first game and ask ourselves: Which opener would you REALLY want to see? I'd say when Rangers visit Washington Wednesday if only because they can keep the nasty...

    Series Thread: Asterisks @ M's: August 30, 31, Sept. 1

    Our starters this series: Monday: Flexen Tuesday: Kikuchi Wednesday: Gilbert Safe to say, I don't hold out much hope that we'll accomplish anything against these guys, not with how two of them surrendered when they were IN Houston. They're more than welcome to prove me wrong, but that's not...

    As we open scoring in the top of the 3rd...we give it up immediately in True Mariner Fashion. Some things this team will never shake.

    MLB Records: Worst Team Batting Averages

    https://www.baseball-almanac.com/recbooks/rb_bavg2.shtml The modern record shows the 1910 ChiSox with a team average of .212 The all-time low goes back to a Washington team in 1888 with an average of .207 With our BA currently just a hair over the Mendoza Line...again...I know there are lots...

    Week 10 at 49ers, 11/11

    Surprised no one started a thread on tonight's game until now... I was worried that things would start the way they did, but nice to see that Clowney helped give the defense the aggressiveness it needed, complete with fumble recovery for TD.

    Coug'd It

    Remember that phrase? It was brought up after another lead was blown a number of years ago, I think it was a game they had against Notre Dame that they could have had. That phrase popped back into my head after that 32-point lead was squandered against UCLA this past Saturday. Someone on...

    M's acquire Mike Wright from Orioles

    Mariners acquire pitcher Wright from Orioles Pretty mediocre numbers from his time with them and their minor league affiliate; he should fit in nicely.

    Legacy of Failure video

    I'm surprised no one's linked this yet... There's a guy I subscribe to on YouTube, and he pretty much gives the Treatment to any team in any sport that has had their share of struggles over the years...or if it's the current roster sucking, he'll give them the business, too. Not too long ago...
