Mariner Talk Chat Forum

I guess I don't get this. Was it some kind of Herculean effort to build the Farm back up? Cal has been a Star, and Julio is serviceable....but what home grown position players do you guys watch play in a Mariner uniform and think "thank God we didn't trade that guy for a short term rental and a pla...

the pitching staff is wasting itself. Offense is 14th in Batting Average 8th in On Base 11th in SLG 10th in OPS So, you may not be wrong. But it isn't good enough dude. The pitching staff has been banged up, and is still 17th in Batting Average Against 17th in WHIP 15th in ERA Again, who didn't und...

There isn't a single untouchable to me as long as the return is equitable. The way I see it if they don't win a World Series in the next 3 years Its not going to happen for at least 10. They aren't going to be able to afford to keep this pitching staff together once they reach FA and the Arms comin...

That is where we differ. I agree with you that it most likely doesn't effect the guy based on how he hits. Sure, I think it is very likely that he sees more fastballs, and they may not work him off the plate as often. But I promise you that the guy hitting after impacts the decision on when to work ...

And the 84 M's did NOT have a good offense. The game was different too. I get next to zero enjoyment out of watching baseball today. I realize that the pitching is pretty damn good, but the approach at the plate is God awful. The amount of times pitchers get away with pitches in the dirt, well off ...

Let's face it, Hancock sucks. He's in his third season and he's just getting worse. Too bad hes killed his trade values, the best we can do is stick him in the bullpen and hope he shines there. This is where "protection in the lineup" is a myth. Julio has probably the third-best protection in baseb...

Of course I was using Ozzie Smith as a ridiculous comparison, but the guy is not a middle of the order bat, and your excuse for why he hits second is his speed? Fuck that. He is a two hitter on this team because this offense sucks. What's ridiculous about Ozzie Smith, he was in fact a two hitter on...

I'll leave this here again. He is paid like a top position player, that is why they bat him second. Oh, and because the rest of the team is pretty shitty as well. This here, again, is why WAR is fucking dumb. The guy is a CF, so his WAR is good, even though his offensive output makes him mediocre at...
