Series Thread: M's @ Rangers: June 3rd - 5th

[NWinAZ]

I must have missed it, they used Raleigh as a pinch hitter in the 8th? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Because he can switch-suck...I mean switch hit. Who knows. Why did they pinch run for Suarez who is their only RBI guy today?

 

[NWinAZ]

time to try..Joey Gerber 59....but dont let him echersly....lolol

I forgot all about Gerber. He hasn't even pitched this year. Another prospect down the tubes.

 

[ulmax]

well...at least echersly got to world seires before he blew it....

at he end...like seahawes at the..goal line..then.....pete does bart...simpson....or charlie brown..pick..it

cant blame pete though..stuff happens...even to me..

 

[NWinAZ]

Two fly outs and we lose our RBI guy. Nice managing. Go back to sleep like you do for most games.

 

[WizardHawk]

Heck of a comeback.

Needed that since they will drop at least two to Houston next.

 

[NWinAZ]

Angels lose 11th in a row and promptly say, "At least we aren't the Mariners".

Angels apologize.

 

[WizardHawk]

Those that turned it off when they went down 3 in the 8th....

To be fair, the only reason I've watched every game this week is because I came down with Covid and had limited entertainment options in quarantine.

I would take Happ and Contreras. Not sure we are willing to give up what it would take to get them. Contreras is a free agent to be and Happ has 1 more year so you couldn't deal your top guys. It would be interesting to see.

Take care of that covid.

I am bored with nothing else on so I hung in there. Too early in the day to start watching The Boys.

 

[WizardHawk]

Went back to see how long I've been saying true to the blue balls up here and found at least 5 years.

Win 9 of 10 at the beginning of the month, and now lost 6 of their last 8.

True to the blue.... balls.

It's like groundhogs day year after year.

Frazier gone next year (Mariners choice and Haniger gone next year (His choice).

I would love for them to sign Contreras. Marte is under contract so doubt he is available.

Rivals 'The Plague'. More accurate than 'Fraudmode'.

I definitely stole "The Plague" from you with all of my friends and coined it as my own.

We have some time, but I'll need you to think of a nickname for Drew Lock and/or Geno Smith before the season starts.

 

[seahawksfan234]

I think it is a solid idea, in theory. It would probably cost us Luis Torrens and maybe a guy like Evan White or Justus Sheffield. The risk would be that he would join the club with no working relationship with our pitchers. So, they would need to get him sooner rather than wait until the deadline.

But there will be many suitors for Contreras and I doubt Dipoto will be willing to overbid everyone, especially considering this move be considered a 'buyers' move and right now we look more like 'sellers'.

It'll be interesting to see how Dipoto approaches the trade deadline.

In reality, we have maybe a 10% chance of making the playoffs, but given Dipoto's hubris I can still see him being aggressive. At a minimum I expect him to look at guys who he thinks can also contribute next year and beyond, although Contreras doesn't exactly fit that mold given his upcoming free agency.

I don't know what it would take but I'd still ship a boatload for Juan Soto. Really the only guys I wouldn't package for him are Julio, Gilbert and Kirby. Although given our ownership, we'd send a haul for him and then let him walk in free agency.

3 series wins in a row... Need to do the same against the Stroh's beginning tomorrow... Going to be tough...

Also, i'll be the game against the Red Sox on June 11th... I scored Diamond seat tickets 3 rows behind the home plate side of our dugout... I'm stoked... I am a huge Red Sox fan so I do try to see the Sox/M's game every year... I'd have season tickets if I lived in Seattle - not when i'm in Spokane though... Love Spokane... Would never move back to Seattle...

Frazier gone next year (Mariners choice and Haniger gone next year (His choice).

I would love for them to sign Contreras. Marte is under contract so doubt he is available.

Carlos Correa, Trea Turner and Xander Bogaerts will all be free agents - if they hit the market. Either move one of them to 2B or tell J.P. to suck it up and move to second if that's what it takes to improve this team.
