Mariner Talk Chat Forum

My most underrated player is Tino Martinez. In '95, he finally figured out ML pitching and almost doubled his RBI total to 115. He was the Mariner left handed power when Junior was out. He got good and the M's traded him to the Yankees for 2 of their massively overvalued prospects in Russ Davis and...

The problem is, we are the only ones that are upset. Jerry and Co. will work on their excuses while the team comes up short once again and will consider the season a success as long as some fans show up the next couple weeks. Even though Ray Charles could see Jerry and Dan both need to be sent packi...

Considering that in early 2001 there were a lot of folks saying "He's too skinny and weak to play a full MLB season" and he ended up in the HOF, Ichiro has to be the most surprising. As for worst, there are so many choices. I'd have to go with Figgins. Once he came to Seattle, every time he came to ...

Why would you bat a non-power guy like Naylor 4th instead of Suarez?

Just thinking how nice it is to have folks wondering which decent hitter should hit in what spot instead of wondering why we are trotting out a lineup of players nobody else wanted.

A little confused of why not Geno in a combo? That concerns me a bit. Saw a report that ARI is asking "for a ton" for Geno. So they might be still working on that separately or walking away Dear Jerry- You’ve been giving us nothing but excuses for almost a decade. Overpay if you have to, but get us...

Probably no existing clip but back on the late 70’s or early 80’s the Portland Trailblazers beat the 76ers after Billy Ray Bates caught an inbounds pass and flipped it in over his shoulder at the buzzer. The postgame interview was epic: Bates:”I coulda dunked da’ ball!” (Immediate cut to Daryl Dawki...

Holy shit that was a long homerun

Apparently 115.2mph and the hardest hit ball of his career.

Wow

Went to the game today and was sitting one section over from where Cal’s first homer landed. Definitely got all of that one!

Guess it all depends if you want a World Championship or a sustained 54% (and the accompanying “We were this close” from Jerry

That’s the DiPoto way. He thinks he can save money by filling the bullpen with has-been or never-was arms and magically they will all be good. Until they aren’t… Sometimes your own success ends up being your failure. The Seahawks had some early success in mid to late rounds in drafts, and spent the...

With Dipoto this is so expected.
