Good teams give up runs in the 9th at home when they were behind to bad teams right?

This is worth repeating. We have just fallen below a team that traded just about every vet player, let the manager go elsewhere, and let him take his coaches with him.

It breaks my heart watching Lewis run to 1B. He runs like me and I'm 55.

Seems that way. In our case, though, we just simply GIVE UP.

There are only two teams in all of baseball worse than the Mariners and both of those are in the NL. Seattle only has 6 more wins than the worst team in baseball.

Do we play them this year? We could help them out of their situation.

We always do.

Looking at the 3 hitting upgrades.

Wins Above Average 2021-
Mariners 2B = -0.3
Frazier 2021 = 0.3
Gained 1.0

Mariners 3B = -0.3
Suarez 2021 = -2.6
Lost 2.3

Mariners LF = -1.7
Winker 2021 = 1.2
Gained 2.9

We gained 1.6. 3 additions for a measly gain of 1.6 Wins Above Average and the one large gain has come close to career numbers.

I'm still haunted by when the M's hosted the Nationals in 2008, got swept and still managed to overtake Washington at the end of the season and miss out on Strasburg.

I dont even thing this past one is the main problem. It should have been better but doing nothing the previous two offseasons I think is providing the greater impact or lack there of.

Imagine last years team with Taijuan Walker and Kolten which required an extra what 20 mil when you were already spending nothing?

That stuff kills

I agree. I remember several years ago Texas was kind of floundering and they traded for Cole Hamels and people were like wtf are they doing and the Rangers ended up winning the division. Not saying the M's are one piece away, but I don't also think that a team sucking should preclude them from getting MLB talent if it's a good fit. You never know what might happen.

So at what point does Stanton and Co. step and start making sacrifices? I know Servais could’ve been AL MOY but this was THE year for Jerry and Scott to earn the money they have gotten the past 7 years.

If almost getting swept at home by Oakland isnt enough I dont know what it is. There should be hard conversations right now but its the Mariners so Ive come to expect nothing
