I wonder how much the attendance figures for this season were a result of what they did on the field last season. Probably a lot - that's the impact of winning on revenue, but Stanton and Co. probably think the high attendance was the result of bobblehead nights, post-game fireworks, and hotdogs from heaven.

winning is fun, everyone likes to win, I am sure Stanton enjoys winning. He has a social network like the rest of us, you think he likes going to parties and being asked what the heck is wrong with your team?

Yep attendance is like a garden hose. Once you turn off the faucet/wins it takes a while for the water to stop coming out the hose and attendance to fall. And vice versa...

This was the highest attendance since 2004 which was a 100 loss season.

Do you really think so or are you just saying that because you're disappointed and angry? In my view this is an overly simplistic take.

He's a brainless idiot just like the clowns in the front office.

You wants to win but isn't willing to do what it takes to win. He cares FAR more about his fellow crony owners than any Mariner fan friends of his....or fans in general.

I can't post it any longer but he is literally on record in a Katie Griggs Forbes article saying that the priority is to find new and creative ways to drive revenue and then and only then will they have the resources to invest in payroll and build WS winning teams..

Sure. But that doesn't mean that he doesn't understand the value of winning as well because of course he does. He just thinks these other things are important as well. Also, every other team is doing the same or similar things to try and get people to the ballpark.

In the interview with Paul Silvi, what he was pretty clear on is the broad philosophy of not going after declining players in their 30's in free agency. He really, really doesn't want to do that.
