Series Thread: M's Homestead: June 28th - July 7th

[WizardHawk]

Make it 6 series losses in a row

I said after the Texas series that the M's wouldn't win another series through the AS break and I'm sad to say I was right.

At this point I don't want to see them making any trades. Don't give up any young talent given that there isn't just one or two tweaks you can make to put this team in contention.

I may be officially DONE with these guys. If it's not weak bats and stranded runners, it's blowing leads...

and Dipoto is laughing his way to the bank once again, riding in his '54.

Sorry, folks, but this is pretty much the last straw. They quit on us too many times, so it's only fitting that they no longer get the time of day from me.

It's gonna take a serious change of ownership to right this one, not just one that SAYS they're no-nonsense. It's just that I don't see it happening any time soon...and that's a lot more miserable seasons to have to look forward to.

Need to rally up and get a run or 2 and win this ball game and the series

Time to stop the bleeding and at least play .
500 baseball for the next few weeks or maybe a month.

That could be a tall order for a team with nobody in the lineup practically that’s batting above .250

It just seems absolutely unfathomable that not one single major-league baseball hitter on our entire team can get hot and push their average up to remotely close to 270 to .275

And nearly all other teams have a few guys in the lineup that are at that point and higher

Yeah other teams make trades...you don't have to not.make trades .cuz .
The deadline is at the end of July .mariners need it know..
But whatever...
Even when they do.trade..
Mariners won't go to playoffs .
A sorry ass .shame .but true..

Wallet..not really anything..
To see..there policy is lose.

8 LOB in the last three innings in a tied game.

11 LOB in the last four innings in a tied or behind a run game.

Now you forced me to say it again. Asshole!

 

[NWinAZ]

Another way of looking at LOB...By Player

hmmm...

Not exactly what Bryan Ferry had in mind when he wrote "Do the Strand".

 

[ulmax]

Yeah may as well.keep.the young guys.

And the pitchers .

Why..they ain't going to.no.playoffs..

 

[wazzu31]

You know you’re team isn’t as good as their record indicates when a first place team only gets one player named to the all star game…

But offense doesn’t matter right @seattlefan75

Honestly I agree. Especially given how often the Mariners overpay in trades historically.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for trading any of the prospects in the M's system for established MLB talent given how poor their track record is of getting position players to the majors. But only if the timing makes sense within the context of the season. And this year's team definitely ain't it.

 

[ulmax]

Mariners mojo you tube..just dump..
The whole team
They say...
Basicly..there not impressed..with.

What ticks me off is we basically cleaned house, did a major rebuild, brought in youth, took 3 steps back to take 5 steps forward in the future, it was working, M’s ended there long playoff drought, future looked bright… Until it didn’t and we blew it all up again … $@@&@ franchise always goes cheap

 

[ulmax]

Ty and Colby..say..buy..know..and at
The deadline..
Cuz .
Mariners are in 1st..place..
Yeah.i see .that and I see .it slipping ..
Slipoing..away...can they add .
Some guys ..
That would be nice ...I don't mind...
Giving.up..a lot of guys .in the minors

But Cole young .I just don't want to...
Seeing.the mariners 2b trouble .

And even.some saying it's cursed..
I would rather .mariners bring there.
Own..2b.

 

[ulmax]

Cole young..if not a mariners..
Like if he went to callage..
Would be a 1st round pick..

Again.

.hitting 270..in his 2nd year..And at AA
He has not missed a beat ..
I just don't want to give him up..

 

[ulmax]

Rodden..hitting..229..
Cole young........261...he's just too good.
To trade..

 

[ulmax]

Cole young born July 29...
He is still 20..years..old..til the 29th.

 

[ulmax]

I've said this young learns very quickly..
If he did not he would not be where he is today ...
At..AA...

He would be stuck in the mire.

At high A maybe..
