I’m very excited to get back to “productive” baseball conversations. The mariners did nothing, and most likely are doing nothing to fix this lineup and that fucking sucks. I wish we had more to talk / read about other than the doom and gloom. Here’s hoping to an exciting camp.

Growing up is realizing that a good comparison to the Mariners isn’t the Orioles, but is the Pirates. Sailing themed teams with great young pitchers who are being wasted on bad offense due to cheap owners not wanting to spend. *insert sad pirate noise*

Fuck Trump and everyone who voted for him

Jerry really said “I’m doubling down”

Pitcher and catcher report in 14 days. The mariners still need a 3rd baseman minimum. I’m hoping that the slim signing yesterday is a sign that the infielder market is heating up. The slow slog of waiting on Bregman has been absolutely abysmal.

Whom ever did not vote for Ichiro for the Hall of Fame is not only a clown but clearly should not be writing about baseball because they clearly know nothing. His impact on and off the field is unmatched. Embarrassing to say the least.

Very happy to officially delete X after the shenanigans Elon pulled today.

Today is Jan 15th meaning that we have entered the time period where Roki could officially sign. Until that happens I choose to live in my fantasy where the M’s are a mystery team keeping their involvement quiet to prove to Roki that he can trust their discretion. ITS MY FANTASY 🦄

Seattle Mariners pleas for the love of god PLEASE DO SOMETHING

Mariners to Justin Turner: “Justin you were definitely our top choice for the spot, the fact that literally every other possible option has either signed or been traded is just a pure coincidence. Anyways we will offer you half of what you are asking for.”

This mariners offseason has been so BORING.

Mariners are making Japanese ace Roki Sasaki ‘a priority’ this winter: t.co/7rBT2cpBl9

The A’s being a free agent signing power house is the meme I needed this offseason.

Yesterday on 710 Sports Brock and Salk discussed how they don’t want Bohm. While I can see the negatives, they chose to reject any and all upside potential, such as looking at consistency in offensive stats and instead choosing to look solely on WAR which mainly reflected his defensive instability.

If the Mariners are going to only add two bats, and one of those is Turner/Santana, it makes sense to get a 3rd baseman and go in-house for 2nd. Trouble is, that 3rd baseman has to be a slam dunk if you want to improve. 2nd will have better defense but questionable offense. 1st is running it back.

People will see what Matthew Boyd and Frankie Montas went for and still think a 1 for 1 Gilbert Mountcastle swap is a good trade. We are sitting on gold, people!

So if Ichiro isn’t a unanimous Hall of Famer, we riot, correct?

If I were the mariners, trying to court Roki, I would bring in your starters and have those guys do the talking. 5 different backgrounds all at different levels, who all support and encourage one another. What better way to convince Roki he’d be accepted and develpoed.

Mariners fans are wild sometimes. Ownership will straight up tell you that payroll is going up but mostly due to arb eligible players and then lose their shit when a month later, it is reported that they aren’t going to spend a lot of money. Like…? Yeah, they already said that. Sucks but not news.

I am totally fine running it back with Justin Turner as a DH 1st base rotator. He clearly provided a lot on and off the field. He took the position Haniger was supposed to. However, this should NOT be considered one of the 2 added bats. This is a LATERAL move. Give me a fix for 2nd and 3rd.
