I watched the vid a couple days ago...

The "players care super hard" thing is getting so tired to me. Fucking perform for once. Then maybe we'd stop questioning it. Christ sakes.

Seattle Mariner hitters.
"we are tired of hearing how we can't hit"

Also Seattle Mariners hitters

26th in Runs Scored
27th in Hits
1st in Strike Outs
27th in Batting Average
27th in On Base %
25th in Slugging
25th in OPS

Cry me a fucking river. Stop sucking and people will stop talking about how you suck!

When the weather warms we instantly become the spawn of the Babe. With that line of thinking we should kill it in Texas tomorrow

Edgar's career OBP was .418
The current Team SLG% is .352

Just tired of the excuses. And Divish is a part of it. Stop telling me about all the guys that whined when they left because they are mental midgets and freaked out over losing a couple of HRs.

Bret Boone had the following splits in 2001.
Home .323/.355/.580/.935
Away .339/.389/.576/.965
19 dingers at home and 18 on the road

John Olerud
Home .285/.382/.495/.876
Away .319/.420/.451/.870
15 dingers at home and 6 on the road

Ichiro
Home .343/.379/.458/.836
Away .356/.384/.456/.840
5 dingers at home and 3 on the road


All three of those guys hit more homers at home than the road. Grand total of 39 at home and 27 on the road. I'm sick of the whining. Start hitting. I understand that was the best regular season in Mariner history, but why were they able to hit at home similar to how they hit on the road? Did we have some magical powers that blocked the Marine Layer back then?
 
Didn't these guys hit in Seattle BEFORE they made it more hitter friendly? I didn't spend a ton of time on this and couldn't figure out how to get career splits. BUT, this would make me believe if you are a good major league hitter? You can hit here. Maybe these guys are too mentally fragile or just not real good major league hitters? I'd love to see something over the past ten or twenty years that shows Mariner hitters and their home and away splits. Maybe blaming Seattle is just an excuse for guys that don't hit well for not hitting well?

The Giants figured this shit out and brought the fences in as a result.

The Mariners act as though they are the only team that plays at sea level, close to the ocean.

But see that was before Global warming...Oh wait...

Haven't we done that a couple of times? Didn't they do that AFTER 2001?

They've moved fences in a couple/few times
It's not like Mariners hitters are hitting tons of warning track shots, anyway. They'd have to move fences in 10 feet to make a difference, and then we'd be complaining about our pitching ERA going up.

That said, move the fences in about 25 feet all around, but make the walls Green Monster height. It'll be hilarious fun for the whole family.
