I'm not worried. After 20 years of shit all, I'm just happy we're playing in meaningful games again.
 
By the end of the two other games, we gave up 4 games in the standings in a week.

Have to sweep the rays.
 
When a team can't hit AAA-level pitching you got problems. JRod simply is not playing at star-level. Gets plenty of opportunities to show that he is a star and just can't deliver. One trade at the deadline is not gonna move the needle. Cal, Mitch Garbage, Mitch Haninmyass, JP, Dielan, and Calzone, are all offensive liabilities.

Jrod needs to just adjust a little more. I'm not worries about him. He will figure it out.

Dylan carried us for 5 or 6 games which is what you need with a pitching staff like ours.... a lineup that can have random hot players win us 4 games or so. It's the only reason we have a 6 game cushion. (Annoyed we lost 4 games on that cushion in a week, but I digress).

JP will be fine, he's the least I'm worried about. Cal is just a hitter that hits at the right time and sucks the rest lol.

So, all that said, I think one big bat changes A LOT. A vlad Jr would be great. Make the pitchers have to pitch more on the corners with the top of the lineup.

This is the year, if there ever was a year.
 
Marlin fans are probably pissed. The Mariners are messing up their draft pick.
 
Legit question, what do you all think is the cause of the M's poor hitting? We've been like this since at least the late 2000s. I personally attributed this to their ballpark (which I think is very pitcher friendly) and the marine layer, ???. Chone freakin' Figgins is a great example, and Beltre, and etc. etc. etc. people who come to Seattle and can't hit. Regretfully I think it's actually our culture and coaching but I hope that's wrong because like shit.

The marine air and ballpark doesn't keep you from putting the bat on the ball. It also has absolutely no effect on the team when they are playing in Florida other than it's a different marine air?
The mariners have "legit question" sucked since 2000. That is the answer. This year they can pitch a bit. Get one or two players that can consistently put the bat on the ball and they will be in a better spot. If management does what i expect and sit on their hands thinking this AL west lead is safe you will continue to see them not hit the ball wherever they are playing.

They simply cannot even put the ball in play, in general. More SEA batters K than any other team in the league.
 
I was watching a video about Randy Johnson. Of course the Bird incident was mentioned. Guess I didn't know that happened when he was with the Mariners. Also didn't know that he is a photographer now, and his company logo has a dead bird on it. Does photography for NFL games.

I saw a post on reddit a few weeks ago that was "What persons name sounds like a porn star name", and I regret not saying Randy Johnson.
 
Why send Locklear down for Polanco? Makes no sense to me. Just what the team needs: another sub 200 hitter.
 
This Mariners team needs a more consistent bat (s) cause right now they either explode for 5 plus runs or struggle to get 2 runs. I do not care how good the pitching is without this team being able to average 4 runs a game or better this is not a team that could challenge for a series spot.

They should have flipped Safeco Field around. Batters are hitting into the offshore breeze. Bringing in the fences definitely helped, but the park is still a pitcher's paradise.

Locklear is the clear choice. He's not going to get ABs up here. Send him down to get reps.
 
the Rays might have to send Devenski and his killer change-up back to the St. Petersburg Warthogs.

meh. I liked what I saw from Locklear and Ty France has been mediocre at best since his hot start in 2022

What you saw from locklear was once a week at best. Bliss has been amazing and he was the only other "option" to send down
 
Also we are all brewers fans tonight. 5-3 brewers over Rangers.

Also this game 7 in the NHL is fucking awesome.

That’s cool but the 10 game lead has been cut in half in one week…Julio looks broken, I’m starting to get worried he has regressed considerably.

If this is what Julio is, this team is screwed

Hard to watch this offense each game. And HOU will be on top of the division by the ASB
 
... not having anyone warmed up until Castillo hit 100 pitches in a road game 1790 miles from Seattle...

the M's need new skippers
