Some juicy ass stuff from Mather here (Not meant for public)

[D-train]

Man, almost noon and still nothing. The longer they wait the more chance they don't fire him.

[Juliooooo]

He referred to it as "my tiny little parking garage across the street" so does that mean he personally owns it and gets all the revenue? And who would pay $30-50 a day to park?

That's pretty typical for event parking.

So he was only talking about days when there are games? I thought he meant every day, which is considerably worse.

He was talking specifically about game days

It's embarrassing there's been zero statement yet or anything. Not a good look

The Mariners have been a shitstorm organization for years... wish they'd exhibit some humility upstairs, fucking embarrassment.

It just goes to show how little upper management for middling teams in professional sports care about fielding winner versus turning a consistent profit.

I honestly think M's management likes their current situation. They like that the team isn't seen as a winner and fans show up any way... means they can just go ahead and penny pinch with no repercussions... they can sell all the $25 sushi rolls and $15 beers they want to 20,000 + fans a night and turn a profit they're comfortable with.

And here's the problem with fielding a consistent winner: it adds pressure because the expectations are different. Now... they might make more money, but why change the status quo if they're perfectly content? Why do that if the current business model isn't challenged and makes the old, white investors pockets plenty full?

As fans we need to make a statement and quit investing our time and money in them, especially if Mather stays. He would be backtracking a lot more if they lose a bunch of money

Not only that but when fans see something wrong, some are programmed to defend the management or the terrible player instead of asking for their replacement.

You mean kinda like how you have defended Mather all day? Lol

Most of the people on the long list have no right to be offended. He said a couple stupid things, that part is true.
