tapping out

[cezero]

I apologize about staring a thread for this, but I promise I won't start another one on here again...at least not for a long time.

I won't watch another inning of this team playing until it has a new ownership group. It's just not worth it anymore for me. Nintendo is laughing all the way to the bank without every having to put a thought into building a contending team.

I don't blame Z or the AAA team that he assembled. The bullshit he peddled when he was trying to get hired was exactly what this ownership group was looking for. I'm sure Z will be fired after this year, but any other GM this management group hires will just be another guy who promises he can build a contending team out of a pile of stinking dog shit, just like Z did.

I truly hope some of the talent on this team gets to a competent organization someday before they rot completely in Seattle.

You're too late; they've already gone rotten.

I'm talking mostly about some of the young arms.

The M's hire bottom of the barrel training staff, obviously. They can ruin some of these kids' careers through poor physio work/maintenance in a heartbeat. It's just so sad.

I wonder if Pineda's delayed start in New York can be attributed to the Mariners. Just a thought.

I'm on the same page as you. As you likely saw, I created a rant thread of my own. Didn't even have the pleasure of watching today's train wreck, but my disgust is right there with you.

I don't think it's a reach to think that at all.

I really hope Paxton and Walker get out of here before this staff completely destroys their arms. It's scary.

I've been disgusted for a decade. It's beyond that now.

For a long time I've thought that I was using a bunch of hyperbole on here, but if anything, it's been understatement.

Anyhoo, take care, and good night.

Of all the shitty baseball we have seen over the last decade this is probably the worst. In past years it was usually decent pitching, and decent defense but the team just couldnt hit.

Now I am watching a team that cannot hit, has no starting pitching outside of one guy, a bullpen that is mismanged and overused, and worst of all they cant catch or field a damn ball. The fielding is what drives me crazy more then anything because it shows a team that lacks focus and discipline. Basically in a nutshell this team does nothing well and winning a game at this point would shock me, its that bad.

just read that seager hit a walk off homer a couple of days ago

it changes nothing

 

[cezero]

just read that seager hit 2 more homers. glad to see him begin to prove naysayers wrong.

hopefully he gets to a real team someday. same with felix.

You can't start on the road to recovery until you admit you have a problem.

Decided to get Extra Innings on Directv, and have been watching a lot of games.

It's been fun watching the Rockies and White Sox play the past week. And of course the A's are a great team to watch if you like baseball.

did you get a discounted rate since it's month in or still full price?

FREE!

Every few months, I call them and tell them that my bill is too high, and they offer me free channels for 4-6 months. This time, I was able to get them to give me Extra Innings for free. Pretty sweet.

Helps that I've been a customer on auto-pay for 6 years and never missed a payment, I guess.

 

[cezero]

Also, the M's will get no-hit this year. Probably in the next month, though it might take a little longer.

Who are these imposters?

And how long can we keep them?
