It's Over. The Fat Lady has Sung. But, Win Anyway GT 9.22.26

Saw a video of a 10 run comeback that the M's had against the Padres in 2016 (Jerry's first Season). Some of the guys hitting during the comeback included, Stephan Romero, Sean O'Malley, Chris Ianetta, Nori Aoki and Dae Ho Lee. Lee, O'Malley and Romero had Pinch Hit for Seth Smith, Adam Lind and Luis Sardinas.

It was cool that they had that one comeback but the thing that stuck out to me is just the trash roster. Jerry has done this for 11 years and somehow still has a job. It's mind boggling.

Did every starting pitcher on this team turn to shit in the second half or what?

The former.

For some reason there is a narrative going around on X that Jerry took over an impossible situation from Jack Z. No idea how these bogus erroneous recollections are formulated.

The infielders for the Mariners all have weak arms, and they have limited range. Limited because they are average to slow runners.

JP and Naylor are total slugs but Rodden and Young are pretty fast. They both have weak ass arms though. I can't believe Cole's throwing motion. Weirdest I have ever seen by a MLB player.

This is a frustrating graphic. It's about playing fucking baseball - not just sprint speed. According to this statistic, the relationship to stolen bases would be inversely proportional - Naylor is the slowest, but he leads the M's with 29 steals (5 more than Randy and 7 more than Julio). He can read the pitcher and know when to go.

If JRod could read pitchers like Naylor, he'd easily be Ricky Freaking Henderson. Right now, he relies mostly on his sprint speed which is a fungible asset.

Well the nosebleeds are $13 so I would be pissed too. lol

If you could get out of a trip to T-Mobile for less than $80, I'd be stunned. Unless you walked to the park, by yourself, and somehow developed the superhuman willpower to look a $16 beer, a $12 “gourmet” hot dog, and a $14 paper tray of garlic fries )that somehow smell like an Italian grandmother’s kitchen) in the face and just… not. Which, let’s be honest, is a level of restraint normally reserved for monks and people who’ve never experienced joy.

Sure agree, but you said seats. I can't believe people are still going for more than zero dollars. You would have to pay me. Rick is fine but I still can't believe people listen to the radio after every game became available on TV. It is like the guys that took a horse to work in 1930, about 30 years after the automobile was invented.

I fear we may have missed our window.

I refuse to pay to watch a game - in person or streaming. MLB.com is a ripoff (too much money with too many blacked out games) and the M's refuse to do anything to earn my paid viewership (or listenership...?)

I use a VPN and mlbbite and just have games streaming in the background. Occasionally. I haven't watched a full game all season. Too frustrating.

I can't imagine paying a $13 cover charge to eat $14 garlic fries.

We are part of the logo collage of teams that get participation trophies.

Somewhere those front offices are looking at this graphic and saying “at least we’re consistent.”

So what do you do with that 61 cents a game you save???? Invest in Pork Bellies Buy some Gum Balls?
