If you look at his heat chart, he's gotten some real meatballs down the middle that he's taken advantage of. I predict a different result the next 10 games.
So you are taking the under on a .429 BA and a 1.500 OPS for the next ten games. Bold prediction brother.

“Kelenic is so much better”
JD’s thought process
Hard NOT to be better than last year yet his average is still below his average from last season. How is that better? Maybe they are talking about his defense?
He said it all Spring Training.

So like the Administration telling us the inflation is caused by Trump, the petroleum companies, us, etc. Just because they say it, it must be true!
I seem to remember a certain news anchor, the most trusted man in America, telling us that if what he said about a President wasn't true, it should be! He then lost his job.

Owners love Jerry, he won't be losing his job.

Jerry is likely here as long as he wants. You rarely hear Stanton talk about bringing a championship to Seattle. Sure he has said it but there’s little chance given the current payroll that they ever get there. Little chance

You have to be a blind deaf and dumb dead vegetable to not realize that giving a guy who failed to make the playoffs in SIX seasons two extensions AND a promotion is a bit of a sign that winning it all is secondary.

I think Jerry is here for a few more years, but will ultimately move on. I think the ideal scenario for him would be several years in a row of postseason appearances that he can then parlay into a President OR CEO role in NY, Boston, or Chicago. I doubt it's about money. I see it as more about status and ego with him.

Suzuki should have been in our pockets. Best player in Japan, the legacy of his last name, the extra excitement he would have brought. But either ownership went cheapo and gambled on Haniger/JK/K-Rod/Lewis, or Ichiro is telling ownership not to sign Japanese stars who could eclipse him. Ohtani should have been in our pockets too.

I think probably they looked at the roster and saw a lot of right-handed corner outfield types with a decision pending soon on whether to extend Haniger, and so they didn't pursue quite as hard as they probably should have.

You know he is currently president of baseball operations. I think he was given that title to block it from being offered by another organization
