Figure I might as well kick it off.

For those of you guys who still live in the area, I highly, highly recommend attending this. I went yesterday and it was really cool. I'm even considering going again. Tickets are only $35 a pop and they're free if you have a Capital One credit card...
Figured with the trade deadline about a month away things could start to get interesting for us.
Should the Mariners be buyers or sellers?
I'm honestly not sure what they should do at this point tbh. On the one hand, I don't see this team making the playoffs as currently constructed. On the...
Figure it might be better to consolidate these three series into one thread.
I think we're all on the same page that so far this season has been, "meh" at best. If the Mariners want to generate some enthusiasm, I think that winning these three series should be a non-negotiable.
Anything...
Vegas has us at 5.5 wins right now I believe, which I think sounds about right.
I think the defense could actually be a bit better than most expect, especially if they figure out a way to use Jamal Adams, but there are still a ton of unknowns. How will the defense adjust to a more 3/4 based...
Figured given the day off I'd start this thread now since our series threads are sort of our de-facto season discussion location.
Will the Mariners play down to their competition? Time will tell.
Doesn't look like anyone else has posted a thread yet and I will need somewhere to complain about this team.
Hopefully yesterday's fun inspires this team somehow.
Figure it would make sense to create a new thread specifically dedicated to the offseason. This offseason will be incredibly monumental both for the team's immediate and long-term future.
To give a little context going into this offseason...
The Mariners currently have the 2nd best farm...
Well I figured I'd start this thread because it's unrelated to the other threads currently going and offers us a place to discuss what the Mariners should, or shouldn't do at the trade deadline.
I'll kick this off with this article...
Thought I'd share this with you guys. I didn't know all of this stuff about her and she has a pretty interesting background.
Barnstorming, baseball and unlimited beer: Angie Mentink on her time with the Colorado Silver Bullets
I figured this topic deserved its own thread.
He completely adjusted his diet and workout routine this offseason and is clearly in much better shape, but the results have been... not good.
As of this post he is currently hitting .186/.260/.331
Here is how much we owe him with his age in...
I think we all saw this coming as Kam's career is over and Baldwin was considering retirement.
Seahawks Part Ways With Safety Kam Chancellor & Receiver Doug Baldwin
Four game series against the Yankees in the Bronx.
Suppose we probably have them at a good time since many of their key players will be on the injured list (going to take a while for me to switch from calling it the DL to the IL).
Hopefully the Mariners turn things around.
With Kikuchi pitching today, figured this would be an appropriate time to post this article:
Yusei Kikuchi sought out Trevor Bauer to talk pitching. It ignited an unlikely bond.
I'm a sucker for these types of articles and figured ya'll might enjoy...
Hopefully we have a rebound after the thumping we took from the Rangers those last two games.
Tuesday, April 30: 7:10pm (PST): Felix Hernandez vs. Cole Hamels
Wednesday, May 1: 3:40pm (PST): Marco Gonzales vs. Jon Lester
Figure it might be better to consolidate everything here.
Not sure how I feel about the L.J. Collier pick. He profiles very similarly to Rasheem Green in the sense that both are bigger edge rushers who play the run well, have the ability to slide inside on passing downs, but both require...
Thursday, April 25 @ 7:10pm (PST): Marco Gonzales vs. Taylor Hearn
Friday, April 26 @ 7:10 pm (PST): Yusei Kikuchi vs. Shelby Miller
Saturday, April 27 @ 6:10pm (PST): Mike Leake vs. Mike Minor
Sunday, April 28 @ 1:10pm (PST): Erik Swanson vs. Lance Lynn
Didn't see a series thread up, so here it is:
Tuesday, April 23 @ 7:10pm (PST): Erik Swanson vs. Nick Margevicius
Wednesday, April 24 @ 12:40pm (PST): Felix Hernandez vs. Chris Paddock
Some interesting pitching match-ups in this two game series. Swanson, Margevicius and Paddock are all...
Currently I have Netflix, HBO and On Demand services with Xfinity so I can stream anything from there, but if you know of something on another medium I could be open to getting a subscription to another service.
On Netflix I watched the Ted Bundy series and thought it was really well done, now...
With a Rose Bowl loss, the Jake Browning/Myles Gaskin era is now over. Over that 4 year span the Huskies delivered us a 39-15 record, two PAC-12 championships, 3 consecutive 10 win seasons (first time in program history), three consecutive NYE Bowl appearances, a CFP appearance and dozens of...
Figured I'd fire this thread up since we have a pretty good idea of who the Huskies will be landing for 2019 and some of the posts in the 2019 recruiting thread are beginning to look towards 2020 and beyond.
Obviously it's still very early and the Huskies have only given 35 offers as of this...
We now know the final details of the deal. It's Cano, Diaz and $20m for Dunn, Bruce, Swarzak, Kelenic and Bautista.
Trade saves the Mariners about $64m on Cano's deal.
