Series Thread: M's Homestead: Tigers-Twins-Jays July 14th - 23rd

[NWinAZ]

much better than i assumed which is why i was hoping somebody else would look it up.

much better against lefties than righties though the AB's are 5 to 1 I think. Surprised me.

 

[WizardHawk]

France didn't hit into an inning ending double play?

 

[Duders]

I wish Aaron would get a little more excited when something good happens instead of being so mellow about things

 

[WizardHawk]

J-Rod down to .244

 

[WizardHawk]

They needed that.

 

[cezero]

good for teoscar. fuck the blue jays and all of their dipshit fans.

 

[WizardHawk]

And I need this break from the team. See you guys next month.

 

[Mariners_44]

Evidently cared too much. Damn

I feel for him, hopefully his foot sparks the team.

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

Nice comeback win… I love those uniforms by the way, wish they’d wear them more often…

 

[ulmax]

J-Rod down to .244

Yeah that's why I say Hernandez..Julio..
Same ole same ole...
But Hernandez..did a good job.of a walk of tonight .
Julio needs to hit like Julio..
Or they will have to put him.in the 5th spot.

The same guy that hit .399 in AAA with 27 HR's in 296 AB's. Crazy.

View attachment 334963

I would like to see a height - weight comparison with his 4 yrs ago AAA body to his current plumpness.

His weight affects him in a very obverse way: mobility - flexibility - athletic prowess - strength - speed quickness - overall general health.
That is why when you look around at the other 97% of MLB players non of them have his Pillsbury doughboy look.

Yea he had a good game at the plate last night and a very timely late game knock to plate the tying run. But that is what is expected of a guy who you put at the top of your lineup. He should be delivering clutch hits all season long, not once every 2-3 months.

I stand by my statement of I do not seem him on an MLB 25 man roster in 3 years.
I will also add he never flirts with 20HR's ever again and struggles to hit 12-15 HR's a season the next 3 years.
That will be his demise in the league.

TOR carries their version of a plump 1b ( Vlad jr )
But Vladdy also brings a near .300 avg - 100+ rbi and 30+ bombs every season.

That is what big league teams expect when they put a mobility challenged player at 1b.

 

[MarinersBestFan]

J-Rod down to .244

Pretty soon they will be intentionally walking people to get to Julio in the box.

That will be a wake up call to everyone and hopefully a big blow to his ego and an even bigger wakeup call.

I doubt he has hit more than 2-3 HR's in the past 30-40 games.

That is pathetic considering the amount of at bats.

It only.julios..2nd.year. and kelenic..1st year.
Raliegh..2.nd..before..we go .ripping down.
The management..
And.organization..we.need to realize..a few things..first.
One the mariners made the playoffs.before.
The re -build was over..as Baltimore will .
How can I say that..??
Baltimore's.pitcheing will.get them to the.
Playoffs..but it will be hard..to make it to.
World series..unless..maybe Verlander..
Helps them...right..??.


Here is the thing..mariners are built..
On.pitching...
Whitch.is a long .term...winning franchises..
Are built on.

This is what the mariners need..and have always..needed...
And now .that..the mariners have pitching.

Do not be to fast..to.throw away..that.
Good pitching..
For example..cardinals..say..throw away.
Gilbert..give him.to.us..
No..my friend .that will .not..be the best corse.of action .
Leave Jedi..in the coarse.he is on..
And the mariners will .be winners .
The media..cuz of.mkjeing.the playoffs.

Said..ohhh.loookk...lookk..but it was not.

What..they thought..it was ....it was not

It was..a ..Mirage..

And maybe .you..can figure out why

 

[ulmax]

In ups and downs of baseball...
Losing..haniger..was bigger..than..
People realize..
Cuz him being injured..all.the time.

But..it made.him work hard all the time
And seeing that it made others.work hard all the time as well

Then winker came .and worked not.
Hard .
So mariners sent him...
Know..mariners need to get back...
To working hard..

And so it is.....
And so be it....

 

[ulmax]

So..here at the..
Deadline..
The mariners need to.reimagine..there.
Lineup.
Who the mariners can not get ride.of.

1crawford..ss.
2julio...cf.
3ford..dh.L/L.
4.france..1b..whatever.you think.france is ok.
But needs to get back to work.on it..
5.RF
6kelenic..LF.L/L.
7raliegh..catch
83b
92b

Bench..
Murphy..
Cabillero..
Left
Of

This is the real core..of the mariners..

It was with haniger..
They need to replace..him..
And add a2b and 3b .
But Suarez may do for now..
With a platoon

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

The real question is can they actually get 2 games over .500 ? That would be a positive since .500 is like gravity this year

 

[ulmax]

When seager.and cano..have been replaced
Then the re- build...will be over .

is that yet...

you figure it out...
Ohh yeah..they...need one more ..full.time..
rf..
although .the mariners got..herandez
Haniger..has not been re-placed..in long term

 

[ulmax]

Yes I have targeted Vargas of dodgers..
Cuz they can accually afford him.
But he is like kelinec..
Last year..
Before..he broke out this year...
But..
Heck..I ain't giving..up..brash..

For a hand me down..you better bring.

The Goody's..

 

[ulmax]

Yeah well..dodgers have bush..at aAAA as well...
Yeah you could get him .for less prob..
Yes I want..Vargas .
Not bush.
He has video..of playing LF .as well.
And he 1bes..all the time..at..AAA..

 

[ulmax]

If vargas is not available...then either is brash.
I'm not desperodo
...some one will come available..and mariners will not have to wait 20 years either .
