Series Thread: The Remaining Games

[seahawksfan234]

Damn, how are the Angels suppose to compete when over $100 million are wrapped up into 3 dudes and the team is full of holes? Two predictions with the Angels, Mitch Haniger signs with them in the off-season and Ohtani is dealt before the 2023 deadline.

They should do themselves a favor and just blow it all up IMO.

Honestly I'm surprised they even have the revenue to justify spending like they do. I know LA is a big market but you're competing with the Dodgers, Rams, Chargers, Lakers, Clippers, Kings and Ducks for views/ticket sales. Also Anaheim is a pain in the ass to get to if you live in any of the decent areas of LA.

I didn't mind driving there when we lived in Carlsbad decades ago. Of course we also stopped here when we took our daughter to Disneyland from here. Dodger stadium we did once and I wasn't all that comfortable with it and that was 15 years ago.

Ray keeps fucking up like this, it WILL be meaningless.

Honestly I don't even know if I'd want Ray being one of the starters in a 3 game series unless you split the start between him and Kirby. At this point, he is IMO the fourth best pitcher in our rotation. Not a bad problem to have... But still.

I am still shell shocked that the Mariners have actually officially made post season play this year. Like many of you, it has been so long, damned hard AND frustrating watching this team, year after year after year coming to an end at the regular season. I'm so psyched, (and proud) about the M's post season play this year. I've been waiting for this over 20 f'n years. I just hope I'm not dreaming this shit up. GO MARINERS - AND THIS TIME I REALLY MEAN IT

Shit, you definitely have more patience than I do.

I'm on a mission to go to a game at every major league stadium (I'm at 12 so far), and I was thinking about going to LA for Labor Day Weekend to hit both Anaheim and Dodger stadium, but I didn't want to spend the money on a rental car which would've been necessary to go to both stadiums.

Decided to go to Pittsburgh instead and had a blast. That stadium is amazing.

Love the positive energy, but don't forget where you are.

This is our safe space to complain when Robbie Ray is shitting the bed and the Mariners are getting no hit by James "literally who?" Kaprielian. Lol.

Yeah, @Duders we might have to put you in time out. We are losing 0-6 and getting no hit, this is not fun lol.

How cool. I once had that goal but life changed. I am up to 6 I believe. Kingdome, Safeco, Anaheim, Dodgers, AZ, and Wrigley. Probably 6 more spring training stadiums as well.

@Duders We love ya. Always enjoy your posts even if they are on here multiple times...lol.

Who's worse, Ray or Gonzales?

That's not a fair question. It isn't an either or...lol.

When I was a little kid I came up with the idea and idk why but I just love seeing different stadiums. Believe it or not, it's not as original of an idea as I thought it was. Many of the people I met in Pittsburgh were doing the same thing.

Initially it was something that was just about going to every stadium, but it has turned into being encouraged to go to cities I never would've gone to before. When I told people I was going to Pittsburgh, the initial thing my friends asked was "Why?"

I ended up making friends with a Japanese television analyst for the Nippon Fighters who they are flying around the country to go to every stadium. He explained to me that they're opening a new stadium for their team and want to take the best every MLB team does at their home games and implement it to the in game experience at the new stadium.

Well since you have money to burn...

Oh that one is easy, Gonzales. At least when Ray struggles he still has good stuff that makes you wonder why he's struggling.

Ray is the type of guy who could strike out 3 straight hitters then follow up by giving up 3 straight HRs. He's incredibly frustrating to watch because his stuff is so good it makes sense he won a Cy Young,

Not to shit on Gonzales but his pitches are so average it's weird he has been as good as he has been. In a way he's like Jamie Moyer in the way that he doesn't have fantastic pitches but gets guys out.

 

[seahawksfan234]

I will buy it if it guarantees that I won't see another college football game interrupted with a pitcher throwing 4 straight balls off the plate to Judge in his pursuit of the undisputed 7th most HRs in a season crown.

Servais said they were going to take all of the rest of the games seriously and not rest guys.... Then rested guys and we end up with this loss. /shrug

He better worry about his future with us. He's not Dipoto's problem anymore.

I sense an early exeunt this year...

Failing to show up, and giving up today...Sneak preview that'll get us laughed out of the first round.
