Whites what $24 million total? I mean it is what it is but if I’m Gilbert, Woo or Miller I’m hanging up if it’s not $180 million plus and if I’m any of the young prospects $50 million is the minimum.
It may put a slight dent into their future spending, but neither will change their future plans. But the benefit if they hit is game changing.
All fair but as their agent how are you going to look at a kid who only has never played in the big leagues but the organization thought him playing in Tacoma is better than the open SS position.
Something American baseball could learn from the Japanese is quit specializing kids so young. Let them hit, pitch and play multiple positions until they prove they can’t.
Maybe the Mariners need a brawl to wake the hell up
Zero fire on this team
Brawling with the Yankees in the 90s seemed to work. Maybe a good brawl with the Astros would work.
All good! We're all thinking this needs to happen to lite a fire under their asses.
My exact words to my brother. It is like we went from being a rag tag team full of life to a team that thinks they are supposed to be professional about things. BS, go act like idiots and have fun and get into it.
Legitimately the vibe of the team seems off. I dont know what it is but it almost has the feeling that they don’t want to be there or something.
I honestly think there is a more 'professional' vibe about them, and I don't mean that is a complimentary way. It is like they think they have to act this way to be taken seriously. This was one of the reasons I didn't like the whole Cal thing in WBC. Just relax people and be themselves.
Yeah it does have a bit of that feel to it. Maybe Cal being part of team douche during the WBC rubbed off on him and he brought it back to the Mariners club house.
Not sure the exact word but it seems more than an off vibe. Like whatever Randy’s mental condition is where 5% of the time he seems like he cares and the 95% he seems like he’d rather do anything else. That’s what it seems like cause they’ve had bad offensive spells in the past but they are making bonehead plays in the field and on the bases.
It would be nice to see Dan get fired up especially when they are playing like garbage. He has always seemed to have a hard time playing that role. Really the mentality of the team could be turned around with a few good games. They have played like trash and they know it, could also be a factor in the way they act.
