Did we finally find a team we can beat GT 7-6

Yeah, Mariner fans are expected to be all excited about a couple of prospects/rookies with OPS's in the .500s or low .600s. Meanwhile, Houston keeps churning out productive bat after productive bat from their farm system.

ummm Jake Meyers is in like his 4th season and he was rocking a career 80 ops+ coming into May when he turned things on. But sure, keep playing up this narrative that the M's suck in every regard. Can't develop talent, can't play winning baseball, blah blah blah

I love how the ump threw his dumb fucking ass under the bus. What a dumb bitch weak ass move. I won't miss him when he is finally gone.

Yea we actually had a run in the 1st if u learn what your supposed to in little league. Wow Kirby is on fire lately. Sucks he knew coming in he wasent gonna have any support. Just gotta work Skenes pitch count some how!!!!

Actually you can't assume that. You're faster to any base, home or first or any other, by running through it, not sliding. Now, obviously he should have slid but let's just give credit where its due -- that was one helluva throw by Cruz -- accurate and 105 mph in the air. So suck it up and move on. No blame.

When you slide you have a better chance to avoid the tag.

That is true as well. Ughhh Julio doubles and we still can't score ughhhhhh come on getting chances early to get a run off this guy!!!!

Not arguing that. Simply stating a fact that sliding does in fact slow you down. We don't know that JP would have scored if he slid. His sliding isn't exactly Trea Turner

Also, Houston is a far more friendly hitter's park than SEA. Probably plays into Cam Smith's early success

I doubt there is another team in all of MLB that has been less successful at developing position players than the Mariners over the past 30 years. That's just a fact. They've done well with starting pitching lately which is why they have been able to play slightly better than .500 ball, but there's no reason to think that will continue. Most people would say the window is closing.

And most people are retarded. Besides, who gives a fuck what fans/analysts/media believe about a team's window? The pitching isn't going anywhere. This team has probably a 10-year window in my eyes -- and yes, you can all go ahead and call me retarded for that assertion. Whatever. My opinion doesn't make it true and neither does anyone else's.

I think we can look across baseball and see failed prospects, failed draft picks in every organization. The fact of the matter is this sport isn't easy. So many players who starred in college or starred in the minors fail at the MLB level. It just is what it is.

The Ms developed Ketel Marte, traded his ass away and now look at him. But the M's never get credit for that development. He was signed at 16. Spent 6 yrs I believe in the M's system.

Damnnnnn now this is a pitchers dual wow. Just hope we strike first. Almost 20 strikeouts total!!!

[D-train]

Skenes is officially dicing us up now. Hopefully Canzone, Raleigh or Polanco run into one with a man on base
