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.

Re: Naylor

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...

Re: OT Most iconic lines in Sport History

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

Re: Dan Wilson's 100th Game in Charge Game Thread

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...

Re: Bad Hair day vs Good Hair day GT 6-7

Any team that would allow their multimillion dollar investment stay in the game after taking that shot would be incompetent. Straight to x-rays and some treatment was the right call. I suppose he could have spit on it and decided it’s just a little owie but why not be sure. Ask Yordan Alvarez how we...

Re: The retired #51 controvery

Saw a clip where RJ said he told Mariner management that he would only agree to having his number retired if they waited until 2026 so it didn’t interfere with Ichiro’s
HOF induction this year. Thought that was a classy move on his part
