This is about all the Seattle local media will be talking about tomorrow. Exit velocity and how many feet he hit that. Without addressing the real issue.

The whole.exit vilasity..thing makes me sick.
Like.
Labtan..labran..I don't hate labran...
I hate the.media.
Doeing.that

 

[ulmax]

Normally I say take player available, but I agree with what you are saying. More high school kids put all our top prospects in the 18-21 range which is 3-5 years away minimum. I would love to see some 24-25 year old top prospects right now.

Yeah..that's right..6 years..for..he..guys
What..mariners need.

Locklear..1b..
Shcanuel..1b..Florida Atlantic..
They both can hit..but schanuel..
Is a haniger.spot guy..with good ave..
So..future..line up..

1young..ss
2julio.......cf
3...2b....Garcia...ave hitter.

4shanuel....1b.L/L.more ave.but he 8s good.at evetything....draft..Florida atlantic

5perez..jr....rf.
6ocklear...dh/1b...an exit.vilosity.guy.best last year..

7raliegh..catch..
8kelenic....LF.L./L

9i have.westburg...3b.. here..seems like when you want...you never get...lolil

 

[ulmax]

But those..guys..will..move..8n 2..years.
To mlb..
Hs..
2-6..or never..
Mariners.can afford to do that..next year.
But not this..year..

1pitch..AA.quin Mathews.LHP..stanford

Everett.
Tanner..witt..texas
Hunter..Owen.LHP..vwnderbuilt.

Modesto..

yeah.like..that..so..collage.can integrate.
with last..years..hs..

Yeah that..is an example..

 

[ulmax]

That line up barely works..but it does.
So guys like hood.
OR milkar..could end up there..and prob will

But ya keep 8ntegrating..
Dsl..
And..
Draft..
Then when those..guys are..from top.
To bottom.you have trade.
Material..
As well..
Example.
Houston..
Mariners are .at.high.A..everett..

For the most.part..
Next year.AA...

.is what.it..is

Recent example..of a guy rising in 2 years
Maybe a bit more.

Julio K's with the bags packed. Not even a swing on strike 3 ( a check half ass swing )

He is one of the least clutch hitters on the team.

He NEVER is in a hitters count it seems. He is constantly 0-2 or 1-2 in the count. Zero discipline to lay off balls off the plate and will stand there and take 2 strikes without swinging and go down 0-2 then start waving at shit off the plate

I do not get it. His numbers will drop year to year as pitchers keep making adjustments on him and soon he will be a J Kelenic circa 2022.

My biggest concern with Julio is it seems pitchers have figured that pitching him inside seems to work pretty well. He'll either take, swing and miss or hit a grounder to the left side.

I read the M’s are in talks with the Padres about trading for Snell. No idea if true, but also as great as it would be to get him, they need 2 big bats.

Am I the only one who thinks that would be a waste of our minor league assets?

I'm pretty comfortable with the starting pitchers we've got right now. Castillo is locked up long-term, Kirby I think has ace potential, Logan Gilbert has proven he's a good starter, Bryce Miller has had a great start and Bryan Woo has a 2.30 ERA his last 3 starts. Looking beyond that we also have Marco for better or worse, and Chris Flexen who had two good years as a starter but hasn't pitched well out of the bullpen. Not to mention that Snell is going to be a free agent who I'd be surprised to see the Mariners extend given that they'll have to pay Kirby and Gilbert at some point, plus already have Marco, Castillo and Ray's contracts on the books.

Just doesn't make sense to me, honestly. Also what's the point of trading for a rental starting pitcher when if the season ended right now we'd be finishing 7th in the AL wildcard race and 4th in the AL West? We're 8th in MLB in team ERA and 26th in batting average. Seems that a pitcher isn't exactly the remedy we need unless we want to see more one run losses.

I commented on here multiple times how he swings at stuff so far inside he is likely to have a hand injury couple times a season ( missed time last year same thing )

He is a fucking zoo at the plate. Zero discipline

 

[Cloud]

Did I read it right that all their runs scored last 2 days were HRs?

So it’s all or nothing eh? My god.

The 'book' on Julio is:

a) bust him inside off the plate with fastballs - Yes he will swing at those
b) throw the slider off the plate low and away - Yes he will also swing hopelessly at most of those
c) by the 6-7th inning and 2 or 3 K's for the night, His mind is a dumpster fire and the pitcher can tube shot a few fastballs right over the plate early in the count and Julio will just stand there and watch them.

I mean it's common enough with a lot of guys... get the early sophomore slump after pitchers and teams have an offseason and year of footage to analyze it...

Pitchers adjust, then batters have to re-adjust... hopefully he can do it in the second half of the season.

M's a reliable disappointment.

Can't wait for the next playoff appearance in 2044.

This is why I hate the new age philosophy of launch angle and the Ivy League version of analytics.

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

I didn't say that because I didn't want to start an anti-derby argument. But you are 100% right. I hate these derby's with our guys in it. Nothing good comes from them but player recognition. I would rather he take the time off and rework his approach.

I'm not anti-derby and our players should be on the big stage (all-star game) when they've earned it but no one on this team has earned anything. All of them should take the time off, relax, rework their approach like you said and try to flip the switch in the second half.

Listened to the London game this morning . A-Rod said he would not teach his kids launch angle but how to not strike out .
