M's Road Trip: August 13th to August 21st

[AceKeptic]

This f*ing team. I hope Stanton and Co. realize if they don’t do some changes in a couple of years it’s going to be to the early 90’s when fans showed up for opening day then in July and half of August once the Sonics and back. In the city they are already 3rd right now behind the Hawks and Mutts training camps.

What about the Kraken? I'm sure their training is going over well, too...in comparison.

 

[ulmax]

used to be they .would come .back..
but they had the bull.pen to do it .

brash and Santos .out ...
there high leverage guys ..are out..

.................................,.........

Japan whooped...

porta Rico..5-0.in first inning .

Maybe one of them can go Jorge Lopez on the batters or bullpen, just say they're stuck on "the worst team in MLB," see what reaction they get.

That should get the message across.

As long as they question the FO then they should be fine.

 

[AceKeptic]

True, if they're gonna force you to apologize anyway, might as well get everyone involved that you can!

 

[wazzu31]

What about the Kraken? I'm sure their training is going over well, too...in comparison.

Eh, I highly doubt they care at all about the Kraken. Them overpaying the Kraken started this ball rolling.

 

[AceKeptic]

Calling it right now. We get the Pirates next, and we already have our message for them:

 

[ulmax]

Carlos Vargas .is making .
progress .
but.
Jackson kowar is out as well..
making it hurt...... a.bit more.
mariners really did try .in the offseason..

but some baseball .things happened.
as well..

and they .tryes .at the deadline...
and improved .the team ...
will they go playoffs..

I'm not going to bet on it ..
but as long.as they keep.trying..
I'll.keep watching....

 

[ulmax]

the 2nd pitcher for porta Rico .
can pitch..
ohh yeah..
he's only 12...years old .
loloo..
they only throw.70..miles an hour..
ohh yeah..
they are only 12..
lololooo

 

[ulmax]

gotta work hope I'll be back for the game.

1 hit tells me they're close to checking out. Lose the series in the Burgh and get swept in LA and this team will be officially done.

It’s just amazing how Detroit owns the Mariners, they play us they just know they’re gonna win, they bitch slap us like Daddy pimps … It took a miracle for us to win 1 outta the last 6 …

I posted yesterday the AJ Hinch stat vs us. He owns us too. He should be our next manager.

Time to just blow it all up.

Again.

But that won't be enough.

Wake me when we have new owners as well as a new coaching staff. I can't with these guys anymore...

 

[NWinAZ]

Have no stats on this nor do I want to look it up, but what I noticed in the series was how many fly balls we hit when we made contact vs how many ground balls they hit when they made contact. GB's got through or were botched or moved runners over. FB's were all caught and none deep enough to move over a runner or score a run.

11 years ago:

Lincoln’s interview with Ryan Divish:

How do you sell this team to fans? If two fans were standing here right now and asked, ‘Why should we spend our money to go see your product?’ What do you tell them?

First I’d tell them that when you get to Safeco Field you are going to have a safe, friendly environment. You are going to be sitting in a first class ballpark. You are going to get great entertainment. It’s a great place to come whether it’s at the Pen or at Edgar’s or wherever. So there’s a lot of things going on at Safeco Field for the fans to enjoy besides watching major league baseball. And I would point that out to them. Many of our fans are thinking about things other than just what’s on the field, so we have to provide a really good entertainment experience across the board as well as getting that major league team to perform.

Another 10 year old Mariner quote.

Lincoln:

“The goal of the Mariners is not to win the World Series … We absolutely have to make money … We will not do a deal just so we can say to fans or players, ‘Look at us, we did a deal.’ This is not the way I operate a business.”

The fans still pack the seats, I honestly don't think ownership cares about baseball. Every year we watch them completely shit the bed when it comes to free agency and the fans get annoyed, then the team goes into maximum turd polishing mode and most of those upset fans just eat it up. The team eventually falls on its face. It's the same cycle every year.
