Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo GT of Fri 5/10

[rockycola]

Paul Blackburn struck out only 3 batters in 7 innings in his last start and has struck out only 31 batters in 42 innings, so there's a decent chance he won't strike out 10 of our guys. Thoughts and prayers.

Paul Blackburn:

July 20, 2016: Traded by the Chicago Cubs with Daniel Vogelbach to the Seattle Mariners for Jordan Pries (minors) and Mike Montgomery.

November 12, 2016: Traded by the Seattle Mariners to the Oakland Athletics for Danny Valencia.

I'll bet the hot weather in Seattle today is really going to help get those Mariner bats going...

FUCK YEAH! ALL M's SUCK! ALL M's HAVE ALWAYS SUCKED! ALL M's WILL ALWAYS SUCK! FUCK YEAH! PROVE ME WRONG!!!
Ok, just had to get PARAQUOTING of Seth outta the way. Bitter pill to swallow every day. Was going to put him in the thread title but, well, not.

Mariners, from upper management, through Dipoto and Servais, coaches, minor league personnel and ALL players need to read "The Little Engine That Could". "I Think I Can" needs to become the Mantra of this organization from here on out.

Has "Control the Fucking Zone" worked? Nope. Has "Driveline" worked? Bwaa Ha Ha No No No. Do Dipoto and/or Servais raise expectations and accountability? Don't see it. Are Jerry and Scott accountable? I think if the team is profitable both appear peachy-keen safe....smhs.

Something has to change. This trainwreck of a team and its management/ownership is getting old. I think it can be better.
So, I propose reading this book daily and believing in its simple little message that has propelled millions of children to have a foundation of a better attitude and overcoming impossible odds and learning to snatch victory out of a habit of defeat.

Line-ups sometime tomorrow. Woo Woo Woo Woo ~ I Think I Can I Think I Can I Think I Can....................

This series will show if we are for real. I think we lose this series. Athletics can actually swing it and our pitching continues to struggle. Hope I am wrong but 3rd place might happen. FUCKING PROVE ME WRONG

Aye carumba.

Go get Mason Miller. Shuffle around the back end of the bullpen. The dude is lights out - maybe we will see him close out the game tonight for the A’s.

Rumor is the A’s are listening to offers.

Yes we need a back arm badly. He is under control. Jerry loves that. Gotta find a way

[seth8734]

Bullpen gonna be used early. Brown made Woo work. Throw tons of pitches early. Gonna guess 60-70 pitches for Woo in debut. So hopefully 5 innings.

2 strike outs down. Career strikeout game incoming but our offense. Is fine. This is what they wanted to do. No reason to put the damn ball in play.

Woo!

Just checking....

...yep... Julio still sucks ass.

[seattlefan-daBronx]

wtf?!?

[seth8734]

Just checking....

...yep... Julio still sucks ass.

Yes he does. He has turned into a strikeout singles hitter that's it.

After 1 inning, both teams on pace to strike out 18 times each.
Every series, every game shows if the M's are for real.
Please, Mighty Mariners, prove yourselves legit!
