Series Thread: tOfficial Mariners 2019 Season Thread

[SeattleCoug]

People are gonna argue the M’s have played bad teams so far (Boston is apparently suffering WS hangover).... but let’s not forget this team is supposed to be bad themselves.

I don’t know what’s going on but everyone is making Dipoto look like a genius so far with the guys he brought in.

Here's the thing. The AL as its been the last few years still isnt very strong outside of a few teams. Yankees, Red Sox and Astros are expected to be the top tier. Indians, Rays and A's probably the next tier down and the rest is just a bunch of teams similar or worse then the Mariners. Its ripe for team to make a run towards the second wildcard similar to what we were doing in the first half last year and what Oakland ended up doing.

98 runs thru 12 games. Lol.
I remember the days they barely score 500 runs for entire season.

Only 2 other teams in the AL have scored 50 runs (Yankees, 52. A's, 55).

 

[Podunkparte]

This team is averaging over 10 runs per game this roadtrip.

These points are wonderful I am worried that our pitching wont figure themselves out you cant expect to hit your way to a win every game. Also lets not let Jay Bruce slide if its not a home run that guy is either striking out or popping up

Oh, make no mistake, the offense will come plummeting back to Earth at some point sooner rather than later and the pitching is not equipped to pick up the slack. You simply can't maintain 8 runs per game. Just enjoy it while it lasts.

Exactly this. They could not sustain their 1 run victories last season so there's no way they could sustain 8 run/game. My only hope is that they find some middle ground.

 

[Duders]

WTF? Vogey didn't get a bomb in his 1st ups.

 

[Cloud]

Let’s start this game with a bomb.... says Bruce. That’s 33 bombs for the season.

This is beyond ridiculous right now.

 

[Cloud]

Tag to home from 2nd on a flyball? That’s inexcusable!

No, that's Billy Hamilton... even if Mallex wasn't slow/lazy in getting up or didn't fall down, he may have made it.

 

[Cloud]

Marco becoming easily the best pitcher for the M’s. Another superb performance tonight.

 

[Duders]

Dee is having one hell of a night tonight both o and d. The guy is rocking it tonight,

 

[Cloud]

Only 6 runs and 1 hr tonight?? Pfft. Weak!

M’s improves to 11-2.

 

[Cloud]

M’s showed tonight they can do a lot more than just a flashy offense. The defense was spectacular, namely Dee Gordon. Bullpen wasn’t that bad either.

Offense did enough to win. Vogey continues to hit well and that will help his confidence.

Jesus, maybe on the fly try to make Vogelbach a catcher or something. Put him at 2B and play the shift the entire game.

With the mariners offence rocking off the charts....
I think it is time to draft some starting pitching ...that will keep the minors up to
Par
And give the mariners a better rotation in the future
As I have said top 150-200 ==to the 5th or
6 round
(Unless it is riley of long beach)
Right now
West Virginia
Charlton...maybe later afterTJ
Gilbert
Espino
Could use some LHP right here...they do have
Roberts
. But they could use one more...jaskie does not seem the answer


So far at aqua Sox
Mersades
Jorge banites..lhp..HS Porte rico...i Mau have the last name wrong there

But they need to add to those guys...to me
That would be at least 4 starters.. 5would be better
After losing Orlando razo
