Buttercup..
Lolololo..

Chow chow..
Meow...
Duders..

 

[ulmax]

This makes me mad ...
They say.baltimore looking..for rotation..
Help ..with one prospect.off..the table..

But mariners..the media guys go after.
.1st..
The one guy. That's Seattle will need..
In the future..
They want to rip..and shred..
The mariners
And I want to send them a bus ticket..( no return)
To souix..city Iowa .
Down wind of the stock yards

 

[ulmax]

I might be a bit over confident..that mariners..will..survive...with the pitching.
They have...
For me that is contingent.on..
Hancock..
And.
Logan..Evans ..and don't know how
Mariners are going to act.. with Logan.
Evan..
Lololol..
He was only drafted last.year...
I'm.happy.about..that...and.waiting to..
See...

 

[ulmax]

Baltimore...can yawn..while they..
Search....
Seattle..needs to do something ..
Before.they lose....the lead..
To the Astros..
Rangers.are...not a threat......yet..
9 games back..

 

[ulmax]

Guardians lead .the American..league.
Not Yankees..
Or orials.

Cleveland...pct.642.
Orials.........pct...639.
Yankees.....pct...624.

 

[ulmax]

Rangers are not a threat...
But twins...and royals..are..
And Astros....mariners need to take..
The west...
So they need to trade as soon as possible..imo.

Or be looking at next..year..

 

[ulmax]

If the mariners can't make a deal..

With..

Harry. Ford..
Colt..Emmerson...

Hancock..or.
Mercedes .

Arroyo....

And.maybe..
Spencer..Packard...
Or jimmy joyce..then...they may as well.
Look..at next year..

 

[ulmax]

But kiking it down the road...
Does. Not send the right.messwge..
To me..
To fans or players..

 

[ulmax]

And that includes.. letting..the Astros any .
Closer..to the lead ..want to keep.them.
Demoralized..
Like they can't catch .the mariners ..
To the point they actually . Believe.it..
Almost...
But yeah....we will see..

 

[ulmax]

If ...si...having. A problem..with canzone..
Then..send him down to. Work.
On.30 pct..strike..rate..
And bring Packard....it's that simple..
But don't act like he will..stay down..
He won't..

 

[ulmax]

Packard 36..at bats..only..5...strike outs..
Hitting..333..at Tacoma...
Bring him..give him a.shot..while.canzone is working on it .

 

[ulmax]

What to like.about canzone he will..
Hit hrs...
What to like..about Packard...
Low strike out rate..and not a lot of.
Home runs

..so he will.take a walk .
Or make contact..puting.the ball.
In the field...yeah .maybe in a glove .

 

[ulmax]

Fanbgraphes..
Packard ..k .rate..is consistently..

We have been hearing "next year" and trust the process on the rebuilding from the inside for 9 years from this group. Seriously, the guys they first brought in on the farm are either already up, gone from baseball (or at least the team), or are in their 30's. How many more years are we supposed to be patient for?

Every year they refuse to shoot for the next step in supporting a postseason run by going for the big moves in either the offseason or in season up to the trade deadline. At least when it comes to position players.

Why would we get our hopes up that they might do so in a year where there are fewer sellers and it looks like you are going to have to give up more to make a trade than what it might have taken before they expanded the WC and left more muddled middle teams that can hold onto hope longer.

It will take a big trade to get the solid bat and I have no doubt they won't. We will get excuses again, hear about the 54% stuff, guys in the farm being closer, and finish this year falling away coming up short yet again. Why would would we expect different?

Please Scott, follow in the footsteps of Mike Hargrove.


"We need to continue to win games is what we need to do. How we are
made up right now could change from the course of the season ---most
teams do that are in a position to add and strengthen their club and l'm
sure we will look at all possibilities that might be out there to help us.'
