Re: Early trade candidates
Realistically, the ideal trade candidate for the M's would be outfielder Kyle Tucker from the Astros... Tucker is slashing .268/.384/.558/.942 with 11 homers. He's an elite lefty bat which the M's desperately need. The last 3 seasons his numbers shake out to around a .870 OPS, 30 bombs and 100 RBI'...

Re: 2024 Prospects thread
Logan Evans logged arguably his best start as a professional on Saturday, spinning six innings of shut out ball. Allowing only two baserunners (a hit and a HBP) over the length of the outing, Evans K’d nine San Antonio batters and was pounding the strike zone like no tomorrow. Needing just 62 pitch...

Re: No ROOT Sports this year
I think there's a decent chance the Mariners move their broadcasts to MLB as soon as next year, possibly shutting down Root Sports altogether. With Comcast essentially pushing fans off of cable, most are probably signing up at Fubo. But Fubo is likely to shut down as their business model seems to be...

Re: 2024 Prospects thread
Just an FYI, the AZ and FLA summer rookie leagues start on Saturday. They moved them up this year and I believe will finish up around the end of July or beginning of August. The idea is to avoid the worst of the August heat. Presumably, we'll see a number of guys get promoted once the rookie leagues...

Re: GT 4/24 - "All hat, No cattle" TX vs. SEA
Julio struck out 3 times again tonight. Probably, he should have walked once or twice. But, looking through his plate appearances on baseball savant, I noticed he's being more aggressive on pitches outside the zone, which might be an adjustment he's working on to take away more of those edge pitches...

Re: Locked on Mariners and their war with OPS
I think OPS is fine but it is more for the casual fan. WRC+ is more exacting but my brain likes to look at BA, OBP, and SLG first and then I look over to WRC+ or OPS+, depending what site I'm on.

Re: 2024 Prospects thread
Gabe, I still don't get your concerns about Locklear's swing. A RH bat doing that in ARK seems promising. What am I missing? It has to do with the path of the barrel through the hitting zone. Most major league hitters are trying to lengthen that path by moving backwards in the load phase. Here's an...

Re: M's vs Reds Game 1
Didn't watch the game. Glad they won though. Clase got a hit. Good for him in his debut. Julio got a hit and a walk and a K, which is fine, but I looked at his plate appearances in baseball savant and he should have had a hit and 3 walks with the way they were pitching him.

Re: A Small Rant
One of the advantages of getting your Mariners coverage via Fubo is that the committment is month-to-month. I wonder how many fans will decide they'd rather save the $90 or whatever and cancel their subscription?
