Re: GT 5/30 Submariners vs Twins
13 runs in the tenth inning the last two nights, holy shit. That's a new MLB record. Congrats are in order.
You know what was a big play in this game? Taveras as always not getting back on a high fly ball on Castro's first "homer". That was actually a fairly easy play if he gets back there, and this is the second time he's done this and gifted the other team a free home run. Somebody else posted last night about this issue he has. Does he think the wall is electrified?

Re: GT 5/30 Submariners vs Twins
He's got a legit problem going back to the wall to make plays. 2 last night that he could have caught near the wall and a big one tonight. It looks like he takes his eye off the ball to run toward the wall, and as he gets close to the wall he turns back and can't find the ball quick enough.DavidGee24 wrote: ↑Sat May 31, 2025 6:18 am13 runs in the tenth inning the last two nights, holy shit.

Maybe it's just lack of familiarity with T-mobile.

Yeah we need a few more bullpen arms. The bottom of the order is really lacking as we all knew as well. For a month there they were fine but now its garbage. Dan with his old school ways is starting to irritate as well - not that they are all bad but Polanco has been terrible for 3 weeks now - why is he still hitting 2nd? Its just Dan saying I want the same lineup so we have some consistency - having a consistently bad 2nd hitter isn't something to get excited about.
Raley is coming back soon but he sucks too. Time to try some of the AAA guys and see what we can get in FA.

Re: GT 5/30 Submariners vs Twins
Seems like they were hoping for another Victor Robles when they picked up Taveras.
One thing he's got going for him is he's only 10 months older than Jarred Kelenic and he's been worth 5x the career fWAR as Kelenic. Which isn't saying too much, of course.
Woo as always a master at keeping a low pitch count and getting deep into the game. Bullpen's going to blow some, but at least he didn't take the L.

Yeah this sort of thing is an ongoing mediocrity problem with the Mariners. We'll get Raley back and everything will be great. Really? He's not exactly a proven major leaguer.
And, I know he's everyone's favorite, but it's the same with Robles. We really don't know how good he actually is. I like him because he plays hard, just like Raley. But, he doesn't exactly have a track record, just a good run last season.
Hopefully we strike gold with guys from the minors, because I doubt they trade for anyone actually good. And Dipoto will at some point say we're adding players by getting injured players back - Raley and Robles, guys who have had some great moments, but will probably end up average or below.

Pomeranz has been lights out for the Cubs fucking huge mistake trading him idiots. Jerry does not see true good relievers when he has them!!!Lamda wrote: ↑Sat May 31, 2025 6:26 amYeah we need a few more bullpen arms. The bottom of the order is really lacking as we all knew as well.
