To quote myself from last night, "Vogelbach...bach...bach to Tacoma."

Ya know, I just don't agree with you about Voge. We've got to play the guy and give him a shot at showing us what he can or can't do. A bomb last night and then a bomb tonight. I'm not ready to ship him out yet though. The Dude's got some power behind all that "fat".

Agreed... and I want as much possible Edgar influence on him now.

It drives me nuts how Ichiro jumps back from the plate and it's a strike right down the middle. What's up with that shit?

Ichiro weighs like 5 pounds, so my thought is the wind generated off the pitch literally moves him back.

Fun to watch Voge hangin' with the big boys in the DO at the railing. So funny to see him on a "high" right now. He's earned it.

 

[Duders]

Looking at this team so far this spring, you'd think they just might be in contention for something more than what we've seen for several seasons. Ya think???

 

[Duders]

Gordan is the "spark plug" for the Mariners- not doubt.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

LOL Cruz's face.

He is one dimensional which will be exposed real soon. He can't play defense, he is a mess vs LH's, and only hits mistakes for power vs RH's. I have no problem people enjoying him now...because it won't last long.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Bah... we're gonna need Diaz again....

 

[NWinAZ]

Well too be fair hes looked good against everyone else besides Davis, and Davis usually crushes us.

Nicasio round 2 vs A's.

Well, maybe so but I'll enjoy it while it lasts then. (making up for all the "hate" I had on him last season) He's a hoot to watch in the DO and you know he's on a real high right now.

 

[Duders]

Motter's fast but he lucked out on that one.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Imagine if this team kept Adam Jones and Chris Taylor....

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Man I really hope Felix gets a good start tomorrow. Diaz needs some rest...

 

[Duders]

Hellofagametonight. Rockem Sockem Mariners!! Let's go for our first sweep tomorrow on the Ides of March. LOL

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Welp 8-4... pretty good start to the first dozen... too bad we're in the same division as Houston and the stupid Angels are playing lights out atm.

 

[Destroydacre]

Offense definitely came through tonight. I feel like that's going to have to be the case a lot this year if the M's want to go anywhere.

I mean outside of Diaz we really have no pitching talent (collectively and in the prime of their career). I've always liked Paxton but the dude just can't consistently stay healthy.

I said it before on this forum, we're basically the mid 90s Mariners all over again. Ridiculous line up, no pitching. IF the Ms make the playoffs (way too early) we'll get demolished once we run into a good rotation. Good pitching wins Championships, and we just don't have it.
