Mariner Talk Chat Forum

You're ignoring that every offseason Jerry has 3-5 vacancies on the roster and every offseason he WHIFFS. Dipoto sucks. I'm not ignoring anything. I'm considering the whole process and all the variables. I already detailed the assumptions that you're making with that rhetoric. Polanco was one of th...

Spin your defense however you want. Clearly, when the Mariners are #8 in wins and #19 in payroll, the obvious factor isn't replacing the GM. It's spending more money. Duh. Not a whole lot of spin required. 30.jpg Where do they rank in $/Win? 14th? That's because Dipoto gets great results from young...

That table shows that the mariners are 16th in $/win from 2021-2026. To me, the main source of frustration has been the organization's unwillingness to "go for it" during what has been characterized by many as a "window of contention" due to the youth (i.e. affordability) of its pitching staff. Jer...

Only two teams in the top 10 in wins over past six years have done it with less money than the Mariners spent.

54%!

Amirite?

Maybe this is the year!

It only matters what Jerry does with his available payroll and he's made terrible choices for 11 years. Wasted 90%+ of it. He can't add the right players at the MLB level to field a winning team. He had 11 years to do it. The team is sub-.500 after the AS break. He failed. At some point ownership h...

Unfortunately Jerry's proven what he's terrible at is picking which olayers to spend his available payroll on each year. He shuffles the foundation around great. The minor leagues are fine/good. He brings in this $800k player to replace that $800k player. But where he fails is completing the team. S...

Dipoto has always gone wrong by spreading his $30-40M in available payroll across six losers instead of getting one or two players that are actually good. The biggest problem with Dipoto- which I've complained about since at least that 2022 screenshot I posted- is the dollars he does get to spend on...
