Series Thread: Remaining Season Thread (I Tapped Out on Threads)

[cezero]

They'll send Jerry out to put the spin on another failed season. Taking question, that might not happen.

lol, dipoto did indeed do an unannounced dugout gaggle with the handful of press around in the early afternoon before the night game on Saturday. every single thing he said was horse shit, but i'm somewhat impressed that he did it in person.

Jedi.is not..a coward...but..
He has..been..ate up..by fans...

Did he lie..about..how .long it would.
Take...
To..do a..rebuild.....yeah...a..bit..
Calling it a.step back...
I knew better.......
.but .the deal was .at.the.time..

Felix hernandez .was not coming.
Back..from injuries..

And the..minors were .empty..of any
And I mean..
Any significant...prospects..
It's almost..the only..thing..he.coukd.do.
Besides.
Juggle ...he started.with.pitching..
And Logan Gilbert...

Evan white...and..kyle lewis .were.1st.rounders...for 2.years..before that ..
By Jedi..
Both ended..up..injured .for the duration...

Not his fault.really...both.1st rounders.
Were cosidard ...great prospects.

Lewis out of mercer...from snelvill georga
White out of Kentucky..

White Sox owner wrote a letter to the fans apologizing for their 121 loss season. Meanwhile, M’s owner remained quiet after missing the postseason 22 of last 23 seasons.

How are people still supporting this crap?

 

[ulmax]

Mariners ..had never..rebuilt to this.point.
Sense the franchise..
Began..in the 7os...yeah .1970s

 

[ulmax]

The rebuild was needed..long.before..
Maybe..2005..0r .so...
But ok ...
They finally..did it....
More from having to ..than wanting.to.

 

[ulmax]

Even then..in 2015.or 16.
Mariners .had .a good..80..win.team..
Right before...they fired
Jack z....and hired.jedi...
But..Jack z..was.worse..way worse..

No gm .has built .the pitching...
Jedi has...none for the..mariners..

I think..the 1995..great mariners teams ..
Were pat gillick..but I'll check on that.

 

[ulmax]

Pat gillick..Had 9O.win seasons with mariners..then had to trade. griffy ..

And A rod..went free ...

He went.to.the..philis..and in the 2nd year..
Won..the world series..in 2008.

 

[ulmax]

Mariners .gms sense .1989..
Woody Woodward...89.to.99..
Pat gillick............,.....99.to..2003.
Bill..bavasi.................2003..to.2008..
.
These .were great gms...
Jack .z...was aahh...

Jedi.is.a.good...gm.and...maybe great..
With.the. pitching...
He has drafted..and developed...

The story ..is not over ..yet by far..

Who was it on this board that said we should have traded Woo for Nolan Gorman at the beginning of the season?

Not sure

That's surprising. I figured zoom call from the tropics.

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

Alright..then...ill..agree..to....
Disagree...
On that .one.

How much longer do you want a rebuild?

1yr
3yrs
5yrs
10 more years?

Honestly when is this "Rebuild" suppose to end?

 

[ulmax]

Woody Woodward assembled..
Seattles..great.teams....

Pat..gillick..won..,116.games..
Traded..griffy....then went philis..
To.win world series ..

Bill bavasi...who had worked..
With .gillick..in toronto...

Was next..he pretty..much..knew..what.
Gillick did..

Jack.z..was..a place..holder .
Basically..

Jedi .has been..and .continue..to be the.
Mariners...pres of baseball..

Scott hunter...the scout...has been there.
Most of the time .during Jedi..

These guys..are .good...
Servais. Was. Always..a tag..along..
Till he got...canned...

Jedi..re-vamed...mariners..dom summer..
League .by. Firing..every one..
And starting..over..basically.

And it has worked....mariners are basically..a new org . sense..
A power .org.if we let it develop..
As we should..

 

[ulmax]

They have not drafted..power..bats..
But should..soon..
But they ..have them...

In
montes...rf/dh.
Hood...2b
Aroyo..ss./2b.
Caleb.cali..1b..

 

[ulmax]

Servais...will prob bounce back.
Somewhere ..

Jedis .dad..was a hockey..player..
Pro.sports..has..always..
Been...
In his life...

And know...when it matters .
Cuz Jedi..is about...
To have..a great team....

He had .to get .a real..manager..
Cuz .
Re-build....over..and minors..full.

 

[ulmax]

Being .handcuffed..by owners..Is.jedis..last obsticle ...

If he can ..make it work .

Best rotation in baseball. First team to miss the playoffs with a 10 game lead in the last 30 years. This season is probably the biggest failure in Mariners history and that's saying something. Can't wait for year 10 of Dipshit at the helm. I'm sure it'll be way different from thr first 9.

I was looking and was surprised to see most of Kelenic's 2024 hitting stats were worse than 2023 here. Not by a lot but I thought he was doing better.
