Mariners catcher called out Seattle ownership for being cheap.

Dipoto discussed it also. Too little too late for this season, obviously.

freaking double speak.

"I can’t speak for him, (Cal), he wants to get better… we all do. Whether that is by way of a big-name player, you know, there are a number of teams that are evidence that that might not be the only way you can build a roster."

-- the Mariners haven't even tried to add a monster hitter to the clubhouse since Robinson Cano. That was 6 years ago !!

• we'll probably just keep using what he have.
• we're excited about Spring Training {facepalm}
• no plans to make any coaching changes.

those are not pleasant bullet points for a Mariners team 50m under the max salary cap. A team who obviously needs more punch on the roster.

Seattle is outside looking in to becoming World Series contenders. Literally just a few big moves away from bringing home the trophy.

Is this Dipoto guy trying to piss off fans even worse? Championship era's don't grow on trees in baseball.
Use it or lose it Seattle.

JD said no dice to FAs and M's fans are "lucky". He is running it back next year.

the Brewers are choking. It'll be up to the Bucks to win a championship for Milwaukee.
 
Who knew there could be a worse GM than Neil Olshey in sports.

And this dude won a world series as a GM! And he still might be worse.

Fuck this guy. Fucking idiot
 
back on July 29th, here's an exert from a Dipoto GM radio interview. The Mariners were 53-51.

- “Some of the struggle that we have had is simply on me,” said Dipoto on his weekly radio show on Seattle Sports 710 AM, mentioning that the team’s younger players would inevitably endure some “bumps in the road.” ... "I didn’t do a good enough job of building a group around that core to support the bumps and the bruises."

so Cal Raleigh had to publicly apologize for something the GM had already publicly apologized for. . . That just doesn't make any sense.

Diamondbacks up 2-0 on the dodgers! Hell yeah! Fuck the dodgers.

Arizona is a good team to root for since we have a hometown connection with them. Something like 8-9 former hops on this team!

the TV announcers sounded bummed out. They had all the great Dodger stuff cue cards lined up, but they never got to use hardly any of them.

for instance, a tubby LA hitter got a harmless bloop single off the handle in the 6th, and "only the terrific upper body strength of that Dodger" allowed such an incredible feat of baseball for viewers to witness.

I also noticed Dodger hitters getting walks was "outstanding plate discipline." D-Back hitters getting walks... the announcers changed the subject.

LOL, depressed announcers are the worst. I hope Arizona wins the World Series just to piss off ESPN. Full Nuggets mode. If it's not Boston, Chicago, NYC or LA, then we'll just talk about golf or something.

Arizona and Twins in the WS would be my preference too. After how the season ended for the M's though, I'm ready for basketball!

Nope--gonna be my Braves and Adley's Orioles after they stage a fantastic back-door sweep over the next four games with the Rangers.

Its funny because Corbin Carrol is turning into a superstar and I have a very distinct memory of watching him at bat with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs. Dude struck out and I was like "this guy is a top prospect" nad I laughed at how stupid I sounded. Dude is fucking legit and it was fun to watch him in Hillsboro a few times.

So fuck ESPN, hopefully Carroll takes them to the end and wins it all. Just gotta have braves lose so they have a shot. Philly will be Atlanta's toughest test so I'm hoping.
 
It’s kind of like soccer. People complain about not enough goals. 4 HR inning is like a few goals in a half. 0-0 draws are boring to watch, but a game with only 5 hits in 9 innings is way worse than a 0-0 draw. Talk about a waste of time!

Baseball is boring
 
Costas buddy was so disheartened about Los Angeles losing, he mumbled out "the Dodgers can tie this game with 1 pitch swing."

that makes absolutely no sense

I think he meant '1 big swing', but you could tell the TBS announcer was almost crying.

oh boohoo... L.A. SUCKS
 
All eyes on ATL-PHI for the next few days. 75 years ago, the Braves were "Spahn and Sain and pray for rain." Hopefully this year's edition can be "Spencer and Fried are all that we need"--although a little run support would certainly go a long way...

Nor I. But I guess I'm rooting for the D-backs now.

I'm in the "Anyone Other than Houston" camp and I really don't think the Rangers are going to take them down (too hot and cold) and no way Arizona can beat the Astros, so gotta root on Philly!
