GT 3/30: IT'S STILL EARLY™

[Donn Beach]

Don't see anything about contact or plate discipline, probably be nice if he'd produce better against left-handed pitching

Gilbert on signing an extension

“They know where I stand,” Gilbert said of Mariners management. “Seattle has become like home for me, and I’d love to be able to finish my career here.”

Raleigh’s new contract, Gilbert said, “definitely” adds to his desire to stay in Seattle long-term. They were both part of the Mariners’ 2018 draft class, and they both were up-and-coming prospects the Mariners banked on as the club worked through its rebuilding phase from 2019-21.

“We’ve built something here … and you feel like you have a stake in it,” Gilbert said. “You want to see it through.”

Good for him.

Apparently 85 wins and missing the playoffs while the FO does diddly shit to improve things is appealing.

I couldn’t imagine being 25 years old, looking forward to becoming a multimillionaire, while playing a fun game. It must be hell.

For 6 months.

Think about it, it would be so much easier driving a big rig cross country and back for say, 15 years.

I moved to Seattle in 1991, and was a fan through the 2019 season.

Throughout many of those seasons, the team was never in the playoff hunt, losing seasons were common.

There are plenty of decent teams that don’t make the playoffs.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a fan of this organization, but record wise, they’re averaging almost 90 wins a season for the last several years.

That’s not bad.

Logan is a complete moron if he resigns here. Go pitch somewhere that u can actually have an offense. Don't waste your potential is such trash offense!!!!

Damnnn that is some all star stuff right there. Idk wanna hear bout weather anymore it is freezing in NY and Skanks are still hitting massive bombs. Weather is a damn excuse players are just lazy get paid and stop trying. 3 best hitters in the league. Cal still doesn't have an avg that's not good to see!!!

Perhaps the most telling performance so far of any M is Donovan Solano going 0-4 with 3 K's against a fucking lefty after the Twitter mouth breathers all told us it was an amazing signing b/c he's a high contact guy who never strikes out.

Here comes the next DFA of a geezer that dies in an M's uniform.

21% career strikeout rate

Who went 0-4 with 3 K's against a lefty throwing 91 MPH when he's been nothing but lauded for his incredible plate discipline and proneness to contact.

Again, I know you don't actually watch the games so you wouldn't have seen it... but he was flat out missing fastballs thrown in the strikezone.

From the pocketfull of excuses department:

"Well, Solano did arrive late to spring training due to visa issues....."

He only signed here cause he knew he couldent hit anymore and wanted more money for sucking. Mariners are stupid and never see that. Sears is gonna carve him up today make him look really really bad

[seth8734]

Sears gotta be licking his chops. 7 innings 3 hits 1 run 1 walk 10 strikeouts. Bullpen shuts us down we lose 5-1!!! Sears absolutely owns this team but again what pitcher doesn't. Facing another soft tossing lefty. Lots and lots of swings and misses today. Going with 25 maybe even more of that's possible.
