K’s are up though in the whole sport I guess was more what I was getting at. Divish brought up a good point earlier is that outside of Winker, every one they have brought in was on the down turn or a buy low guy and hope they return to their career average. Garver’s and Polanco’s k rate...
IMO, it is the new emphasis that, started when the sabermetrics guy took over the game, on launch angle and hard hit rate has a huge impact. Much like how emphasis on high velocity over control has changed pitching. Trying to hit a home run every time is hurting hitters. Two rules that Manfred...
It’s why no Mariners fan should be upset they didn’t get him. While he is a great contact hitter, he would be a terrible fit for this team unless Jerry put France on waivers
It’s pretty hard for some of us to make legitimate statements on the team when we have kids playing at the same time as the Mariners since Root doesn’t have an app you can watch the game. And F FUBO
Him and Sanchez are a couple of guys I think would be decent for the Mariners. Don’t know much about Jazz other than he seems fun I guess. Just the way I take it is the Marlins offense is basically like the Mariners where they have all underperformed
So is everyone available from the Marlins then? They got quite a few guys who wouldn’t be bad for the Mariners, not giving up Ford, Young or Emerson good but good.
Biggest fear though is ownership most likely won’t buy out a contract in a trade and Jerry has only once really traded top prospects. Someone could argue the Marte/Walker deal but Walker was a prospect still but so was Haniger. In Jerry’s tenure he has mostly been subtracting from the big league...
Well I was off by a few. Though I did call Kirby, Gilbert and Miller being great. Think Castillo heard us all and decided to be an ace again. And Hancock has been a lot better than what a lot local sports people said he could ever be.
Carver’s HR needs to become a popular gif. Anytime someone is trying to say about time or something that should be shown.
And I will admit I was massively wrong and apologize to Jerry. I wanted Rojas and Urias moved to second to clear out a spot for Young in August but he was right in having...
If the Mariners could find a buyer for the channel like Amazon. But they own so leaving it would destroy RootSports. Maybe putting in bankruptcy will save money? No idea
It is a good problem to have and also one one I think they need to be creative with. Don’t really want to throw off Castillo, Kirby, Gilbert and Miller with a 6 man rotation but Hancock and Woo are going to be on innings limits so how do they work that.
I don’t think it helps either to be in...
This was kind of the point of everyone freaking out at the beginning of the year. All the moves they made didn’t really improve the offense all that much. This team only goes as far as their pitching but it’s hard to ask the staff to throw a QS and bullpen be damn near perfect.
It’s just crazy to think two of 3 richest guys in America at the time, from Seattle, didn’t try to purchase the Mariners. No idea why these rich dudes love basketball so much but Paul Allen in a non salary capped sport would’ve been ridiculous.
Plus it also seems crazy that if Reggie Jackson...
I didn’t say he bailed him out. I said he got them the ball no other QB could’ve. But you don’t know ball at all if you think those guys bailed him out
Not always, but yes Penix made all 3 of those receivers look awesome. All of them are talented, but not many QB’s could’ve gotten them the ball the way he did to make those stats. But I have said I have a bias as I would’ve taken him over Caleb Williams.
