Game 1 M's vs Cleveland ________

[TraderGary]

M's made more profit than any other team in MLB last year and yet they spend zilch in FA and here we sit with a DH who posted a whopping 78 OPS+ last season.

I agree. I'm jacked for opening day as I'm sure everyone else is. But looking at that lineup, I can't help but feel we're still short one impact bat for the middle-of-the-order. Push Cal, Saurez, and JK down one spot and add one more thumper in the 5-hole and that's a lineup that can compete with anyone. They could have easily done that at DH and not broke the bank.

It's very frustrating and inexcusable given the money this ownership group is printing. Hopefully they'll add a significant piece at the deadline.

That being said, GO M'S!!

Any gentlemen's wagers to be had? For example, will the M's homer in their opening day game? If so, who hits the M's first homer of the season?

Let's go, M's!!

I'm going with the easy choice, Teo's first as a Mariner. He'll do it in his 2nd AB in a 2-1 count, LF lower deck.

I've got Geno - 3rd AB, behind in the count 2-0, just clearing the wall in LF.

I'll wager a beer on it, Sexy - my Geno to your Teo.

I'll go with the underdog.....JK with the first Mariner HR of 2023

Rangers score 9 in the 5th inning. Up 11 to 6. That lineup up is going to be tough.

And it has nothing to do with injuries. This literally was the plan. Beyond belief.

Remember. We are saving our money for Ohtani.

And if I close my eyes, click my heels three times and wish my hardest, it will come true.

Oh crap, Big_Maple, now I won't be able to get a wretched image of you in Ruby Slippers outta my head.

Jeebus,. If I thought it would actually land us Ohtani, I'd wear the damn things for a year.

But, there';s about as much chance of us landing Ohtani is there is of monkeys flying out of my butt (another visual you can't unthink now that you've thunk it).

I just think it is an insult to the fans to be so profitable, so cheap, and then give them a line of bullshit about saving money for a player they'll never get.

Ohtani would look great in a Mariner uni; no monkeys flying out of anybody's orifices
