When I was younger I remember how much fun it was to look through box scores a couple weeks into the season and see which players still had batting averages above .400. Now all I see are batting averages in the ones. Depressing
I do think progress is being made, but it's definitely slow and a lot of the old school people that think this kind of behavior is acceptable are still deeply embedded in all levels of hockey.
Still trying to figure out why management trashed this rebuild just 3 years into it. Not a single change in the offseason generated any excitement. I'll say 81-81 I think the current team is the definition of mediocre, but I don't think I've ever been more disinterested in a Mariners season as I...
I don't think it would be much of an upgrade over the WCC. In the last 8 tournaments Gonzaga has 8 SS's, 5 EE's and 2 FF's, and they would have been a 1 seed in the covid canceled tournament. I honestly have no idea why the narrative that they couldn't compete in a power conference still exists.
Can the M's just fire Dipoto now? There's hardly any organizations that you could fuck up as much as Dip the last year and still have a job. But of course the Mariners are one of them smh.
Big market teams can fight it sure, but when the lack of competitive balance kills the league then no teams will be making any money. The lack of a hard cap is every bit as dangerous to MLB as the slow down of games was. There's a reason every other major sport has caps.
100% failure of a season imo. Nothing else really to say about it.
Wish the owner cared more, but honestly just expect minor and superficial changes to the staff and roster, and next year we'll see the same mid Seahawks team that we've seen the last 6-7 years that will hover around the 7 seed...
Pretty much. The worst part is the last 3 years the Mariners have been close. 1 playoff app and 2 years missing the playoffs by a game. Imagine what might have been if the Mariners had signed a couple stars like Texas did. Instead Texas is loaded for years to come now, while the M's are...
Honestly reminds me of when he traded for a bunch of international allocation money to sign Ohtani and we all know how that turned out. I fully expect the M's to make a bunch of mid moves that don't actually fix any of the holes on the roster. It's what they do. I don't think I've ever seen a...
That's a good question. Initial thought probably Texas 3 and FSU 4 just based on the strength of the big 12 vs ACC and Texas has the best win vs Bama. But I could see a case for FSU at 3 as well being undefeated.
Michigan, Washington, FSU, Texas.
Texas is in over Bama because of h2h. And I know FSU will be controversial, but to me an undefeated power conference champion has to be in, even if they aren't at 100%. Otherwise why even bother playing the games?
