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?

Re: Gilbert to stop the bleeding G.T. 4-10-24

So, since the Mariners probably won’t make the play offs and Julio striking out at an alarming rate, will he be on the block to “cut” payroll for 2025, since he’s on a pace for 180 to 200 K’s? Julio strikes out a ton. This year last year and rookie year. I have a feeling he is gonna set a strikeout...

Re: 4\8 GT: kerfuffle of the hoser M's vs. the Hog Town biffed its, eh?

Julio needs to go to Driveline. I'm not being sarcastic. He seems to be making better contact. Hit the ball hard but good defense makes those plays. Sucks. I think this is the longest to start a season without a homer for him! He can keep coasting on his talent and maybe even get a HOF career out o...

Passan on the topic, guess the pitch clock is an issue https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39900377/mlb-pitching-injuries-tommy-john-issue-shane-bieber-spencer-strider-eury-perez That wasn't really the point of the article.

Re: Former Mariners tracker

JK went 3 for 4 today with a double and two singles. I suspect this is the beginning of a strong year for him, but it's still quite early so we'll see. I hope it is though.

What's up with all this paternity leave crap. Sure it's about projecting proper priorities and all that but come on, this is baseball. Nobody gives a crap about your brat. Go earn your bloated contract and play
I kind of agree with this.
