Series Thread: M's Roadtrip Twins & D-Backs (7/24 - 7/30)

[MarinersBestFan]

It's a mere 5 games ... BUT I will take a shot with a guess that our true mathematical odds of reaching the post season hovers around 3-5%

Just too many good teams above us have to FAIL in order for us to pass them up by playing BETTER than we have ( .500 ) for the remainder of the season.

Now put their contracts up there……..I’ll wait for you to grab a garbage bag to vomit in.

I felt I was alone last year complaining about giving a 21 year old that money after 82 games. I get why they did and none of it had to do with a baseball decision. All about marketing. Foolish are we. #SeaUsTreadWater

Ackley's first two years vs, JRod's

View attachment 335232

The thing on Julio is that his walk% is better this year and his K% is basically the same. His ISO and BABIP are drastically different. His wRC+ shows he is basically average. Average MLB player not average $400M player. Ackley's categories changed in the same columns as Julio's. Damn marine layer.

Great / good pitching is a really nice asset.

But when you have a line up that consistantly fails to produce runs or capitalize on scoring opportunities ... you are just simply going to the well with a hole in your bucket ( I am into the country sayings this week )

Bull pen..
Moving.
Seawald..
Pen.murphee..
Or Munoz is
Just.
Not..

While brash should be deadline bait..for a 2b..
And maybe even..adcock..

What are the chances...I don't think..they are.
Good,..
Other than dodgers....
San fran. Aaaahhh.

Arizona .not as good a chance as the dodgers
San Diego ..has there own probs..

Trade.seawald..then re-sign...ok..

Lololol

 

[ulmax]

Brash and seawald would make sense for dodgers..
And for Seattle to get off the snide..with a 2b.

 

[ulmax]

That is lookout landing..sb.nation...
Sea us .sell...what trade deadline .
Could look like.for..mariners..
While..I don't think there is any doubt..
Selling bull pen guys..is the way to.go..

I did not know seawald was free agent.
After the season..

But yeah..even better..
Brash and seawald .to dodgers ..ok..

May as well....cuz can't dance..with this music..

 

[ulmax]

Let's face it though..we are talking about moving on from seawald..cuz it's the dodgers ya know..
That's the reality...

 

[ulmax]

Talking about..39.50..
Dodgers..
Brash...30.9
Seawald..9.9
Moore...minus..1.3

Mariners..40.70
Vargas..25.
Lux..left....out 60.day..15.1

Close.enough..and vivas .would work..
But he is not..15..and...he is not injured.
So dodgers can use him..
Going forward..
And leanard...ss .better than..Vargas..

This would solve..most probs for..mariners..
Not outfield..though..

And Jedi would scramble to rebuild a bull.
Pen..seawald would prob re sign with dodgers..ouch....

 

[ulmax]

The only thing would be a right handed..outfield..
Cubs .Ian .happ..
With Hernandez .deloach..Trammell .
Mariners would have the ammo..
Then rebuild.
The pen..
But it's almost to late .already...

 

[ulmax]

No..Julio.is the future. Resign Hernandez..
Not likely..

 

[ulmax]

Julio..is..the haniger....
I should have known..

You ulmax you..

 

[ulmax]

Yeah dodgers trade for..
Encarnation- - strand..and they.have it all covered..
I yi yi...
Dodgers have a prob..of being .
Older .than 20s..solving this as well

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

There aren't many desirable pieces to move but hopefully the FO can get something half descent to Teo. I wouldn't trade any of our young core starting pitchers as seeing this team isn't anywhere close to competing for a WS.

 

[ulmax]

[ulmax]

Vivas would work better..for mariners that is probly..true.
