Mariner Talk Chat Forum

Well all 8 runs were given up by guys with zero chance of being on the OD roster so that's good.

And JK is at early Spring Training form, so there are a couple of good things to take from this game.

Now pitching, Jerry's son Jonah...

52 walks in 63 inning for Dipoto last season. Yikes...

Jonah Dipoto was a one-time college teammate of Jack Larsen at the University of California, San Diego:

Who is Ko Wong? Oh, Kolten.

Is there another Wong in MLB whose first name begins with a K?

Kean Wong

There we go offense smoking now, hitting the ball so hard. Great to see JK with 3 straight rockets off the bat.

JK hitting the ball hard and actually making contact, hard contact. Really hoping this is the season he finally breaks out.

everyone is hoping, buddy.

I fully expect it and still stand by my comment that JK will be the Mariners best hitter (in OPS) by July 2024.

Better than Julio? Wow, that's a pretty strong statement. I would be very tempted to take that bet but I don't want to wait a year and a half to get paid. lol

I still have hope for JK and am not giving up on him. But if he struggles again this year the way he has in previous years, he'll be squarely on the bust train as far as I'm concerned. I was worried they were going to sell low on him and ship him off only to see him break out with another team. We've all seen that scenario before.

I just feel like he's going to have a solid year this year, gain some much-needed confidence, and break out the following year. You must be thinking the same, thus your 2024 prediction.
