Series Thread: Mariners @ White Sox; April 23rd thru 25th

[Anointed One]

Can't wait for Kyle Seager bobble head night.....yeah right...more of the same old bullshit. Mariners won't be getting any of our money till they get their shit together.

Which is why I haven't gone to a game in two years...

Just got back from Dallas this afternoon. Looks like I've missed out on some tremendous pitching.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Mariners have given up 46 runs over their last 7 games. Average of 6.6 per game.

 

[seahawksfan234]

God Vogelbach is such a liability as a runner.

 

[seahawksfan234]

That was definitely a massive fuck-up if it stands.

 

[seahawksfan234]

One out and two on and base running errors causes a double play to end the inning. I know we are down 3-10, but that is unacceptable. Still kinda confused as to what happened there.

don't worry

the m's have as good a starting rotation as any non-playoff contender from last year

also, keeping ichiro over heredia was, like, a total no-brainer

Glad this one is over. Mariners are kind of a repeat of last season, and the season before that, and the season before that and..................well, you know how it goes. Can't wait to hear Servishit's post game spin on this one.

Well nice to see Zunino get a couple hits anyway. Not many positives beyond that.

The Mariners have cost themselves at least 12 runs a year since 2014 according to BsR. It's ok though because at some point Servais will tell us how important it is for the Mariners to not give away outs on the basepaths, while not actually doing anything to correct the problem.

The White Sox are awful so the Mariners should sweep win this series, that said their record in Comiskey the last 15 years or so is terrible so who knows.

Never underestimate our opponent, not when you know damn well what we're capable of doing ourselves...nothing.

as we say, there's always next year...

I would love to hear the reason as to why they won't drop Seager in the order... Haniger is a much, much better hitter than Seager...

Because Ichiro is a great clubhouse leader.

It goes back to the conversation we have had before about the L/R thing. But I'm with you wanting Haniger to bat 5th. When Seager is on he is great in the 5 but when he is in his funks he is a rally killer as opposed to Haniger who is more consistent. I'd like him to have a few more bombs with people on base instead of all of his solo shots.

 

[unlvmariners]

Haniger should be in the 5 spot.... As mentioned before he is more consistent than Seager. He is also a better all around hitter imo.

I was wondering the same thing myself last night.

More or less this just kind of sums up the organization. Its an obvious move that probably makes the Mariners better but they either cant see it or refuse to see it.

I could be totally off base on this but I think that Seager, Felix, Cano, Cruz, and most recently Ichiro have in their contracts wording that has certain requirements that address issues that we, as fans, do not understand. It would not surprise me that Dipoto and company gave up certain issues to maintain certainty that these guys would enter into the contracts. I'm sure there is much more than money driving what we see happening (or not happening) with these guys. If this is true, the organization might be locked into certain contractual issues and it would not surprise me if those contracts were possibly not in the teams best interest. Just my opinion and thoughts is all.
