[ulmax]

If mariners don't.proceed.in..
Some such..a.way...

They will lose..many fans..

And continue. To have money..problems..
And fans won't care..at that point.

 

[ulmax]

Some people say even the athletics.
Will be better..
That would signel..the end of mariners baseball .
Maybe..forever .

Seattle Mariners Don't Appear to Be in the Running For Roki Sasaki

Outside of the sweepstakes for Juan Soto, the race for Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki is the biggest free agent storyline this offseason. Sasaki owns the NPB record for most strikeouts in a single game (19) and the professional baseball record for consecutive strikeouts in a single game (13).

reading around what insiders are saying, not sure how anybody thinks this joke of a franchise will make any substantive improvements this offseason. the only chance we have of getting good hitters is dramatically overpaying them and when you see the likes of Soto being lined up for $600 million already? That's jacking up asking prices for EVERY fucking FA including lower tiered guys we've seen buzz about like Alonso or Walker. Combine that with the stink of having a ballpark that is the opposite of hitter friendly? Yeah, same old string of shit for shit perfunctory trades that PR will push as jerry as being some sort of mastermind, yet again. "VETERAN PRESENCE!" "DAN THE MAN DAN THE MAN DAN THE MAN"! "AMAZING NEW HITTING COACH WORKING UNDER EDGAR!" "JULIO!" Brace yourselves all the way through spring training lol.

Leave the game alone!

I guess Cal or Jrod. Can't think of anyone else.

Ya I just read the Bliss/Moore experiment will start soon. Woopie...

Nothing says you want to win like having Dylan Moore as a starter. I don’t dislike the guy, but he isn’t a starter. He is a super utility player. Take him out of that role and your super utility guy is Raley but he seems to be figured into the 1B and COF.

Leave the game alone!

He is so embarrassing as a commissioner. How can you put a guy in charge of the sport when every time he speaks you can tell how much he hates the sport.

 

[ulmax]

If after tradeing .Castillo .witch.makes.

Ichiro hit in this ballpark. Boone did. Edgar did. Olerud did. Cruz did. Cano did. ARod did. Ibanez did. That punk ass bitch Justin Smoak made it okay to whine about the park being the problem so nearly every failing hitter since has used that as an excuse. Griffey whined about the park too, but it wasn't the batting eye he didn't like, he didn't like that there were no more cheap homeruns like there was in the Kingdome.

I don't blame the ballpark. I blame the quality of players brought in to play in it and the 'yes men' managers and coaches brought in to manage them. From my perspective, ownership has rarely gone after top level hitting talent other than Cano, Beltre, Sexson, Olerud, and Cruz. Five guys in the 25-year history of the park isn't much to brag about.

There are plenty of instances of players leaving here and performing better on new teams, but I think that has more to do with being in a better clubhouse environment and having more protection in the lineup.

Any ballpark can be exploited for the advantage it offers, including T-Mobile, but the advantage has to be identified and exploited. You can't consistently win games in T-Mobile with a lineup full of three-outcome hitters. I think that has been proven ad nauseam. But, Servais had been determined to go that route for the last nine years. Maybe Wilson and Edgar can convince the 2025 team to try a different approach. A Mariner team full of professional, level swinging, line drive hitters, above average speed with smart base running instincts, and defend well, could win a lot of games in T-Mobile. Now all they need to do is replace about 7 guys in the projected 2025 lineup with professional type hitters. Shouldn't be too hard....

 

[ulmax]

The last place.in hitting...or next to last.
Has to change..
That means the players.you.bring in.
Can't be strike out..artists.

Bohm.
And.
Miranda..

Fit for that..

 

[ulmax]

Shopping...at...the..cheese..
Barrel...
Of mlb .won't help....
They have to trade.for.real.players.

 

[ulmax]

Nico horner..bat ave 273.
Or.
Brandon rodgers...267.ave.

Seems about the same..

 

[ulmax]

If Rodgers is a.deal.then.it.works.
For me.
And cost.no.prospects.

 

[ulmax]

So Cole young is left hitter...
Rodgers right .
So.rodgers would work .
His Critics.
..
Is he's been injured
That's no prob..for mariners..

Just need one or 2 years.

 

[ulmax]

Horners..ops plus..101.
Rodgers. ..................94.

Bohm .contract is 2years more .
But he's a.guy.,I could see mariners
Re-signing .
Good but not. Great ....yet..

Rodgers seems in the same cheese.
Barrel..
That works for me...

Miranda as well..the knock.
Being hrs.

 

[ulmax]

If Seattle has a bunch of good hitters.
That may be enough .
With a great.
Pitching staff..
Even if they do trade Castillo.

 

[ulmax]

Seattle steals bases...and they.could.
Use.one.one more.but.not.really
A necessity..

Aroseaeena.
Crawford.
Robles..
Julio..

Works..
Miranda..steal..no...moore
Bohm......steal..no....moore
Rodgers ..steal..no...moore..

Yep..that's a job .for for Moore.
