8/18 Mariners Sniffing 9 Games Over, Again vs. Rangers Game Thread

[Captain 97]

6-2 is. LOL.

Their winning percentage at the time of the trade was .5445.

I'm content waiting to see where they finish the season before jumping off the cliff about the trade like some of you have.

Some of you try so hard to create fights with me, it's pathetic.

And if they'd kept Graveman and Chargois and won 3-4 more games they would be at .558 or .566.

Your not content to wait to see where they finish the season. You keep insisting the team is better right now because of the Graveman trade when literally anyway you look at what has happened since it is clearly not better.

I am not picking a fight with you just having a healthy debate.

BTW still waiting for you to explain how Toro hitting .179 with a .538 OPS in the last 8 days is the reason why they are 6-2

Quick check shows he has a .345 OBP over his last 7 games.

Team is 6-2 over the last 8 games.

Cry a little harder

WPA of -0.361 over the last 8 games. Appears they would have been 7-1 without him.

And that's still an improvement over the guy he replaces in our lineup, Moore

.345 OBP Cap, that's enough of an answer right there.

Went 0-4 in the 10 inning loss to the Rangers There were men on base in all four of his AB's and he grounded into a double play in the 10th. He is so clutch.

Pick whichever day you need to point out to try and prove your point bud. Whatever your point is anyways...

.345 OBP in his last 7 games speaks for itself enough, even while he's slumping.

They've been playing like champs. They're a good team, not just thanks to Toro, but Anderson and Castillo, which should push for a playoff spot just as they would have by keeping Graveman.

Thankfully they don't have an extra hole entering the offseason at either 2B or 3B (Toro).

I think I am going to print this out, frame it and put it up on my wall. Whenever I need an, ego boost I can always look up at Barry Larry Terry and say, " Hey, life could be worse":

Yeah, no reason not to learn Portuguese. The attitude that kids pick up a language easier than an adult is a misconception. An adult just has different tools to attack it with

Just make certain you learn Portuguese Portuguese and not Brazilian Portuguese. Totally different animal!

What's wrong with Brazilian Portuguese?!

Okay, how about this. The Mariners final record will be better because of making the trade than if they hadn't made it.

I think if you do all the trades in totality you can make that claim. It's probably a wash for just the Graveman trade, but Mariners win the trade big time in the future with Toro.

The point being, I can make any claim I want to make, like the Mariners would have won two or three more games after the trade if it hadn't happened. My claim is as legitimate as that claim.

There is no argument though against the Mariners being better for 2022 and beyond after the trade though. None.

Saw that and was wondering how many minutes it would shave of if 3 foul balls with two strikes you are out.
