2021 Seattle Mariners

OPS+ is BR’s main offensive measurement. Here’s Haase’s page...

For comparison, Giancarlo’s career OPS+ is 144, so 44% better than league average.

Am I racist for being surprised that Marco Gonzales doesn't have a Latin American accent?

Lol yep.  Born in Fort Collins, CO and went to Gonzaga.

why can't we just be fine with batting average, RBIs, and homers? buncha numbers geeks these days

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Last three innings Kikuchi seems settled in.  Now If only the M’s could give him some runs.

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Bah.  

[Biff Tannen 45661]

Going to bed. Go Ms!

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Murphy keeps the Ms from being shut out.

Don't know if you saw this, and I didn't post it at the time b/c things, but he hit a 2nd HR last night.

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Check out his OPS+ now... Good ol’ vagaries of small sample size. 

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

So we have visitors at my house tonight from out of State.  So I didn’t watch and decided to check the score and see we are in danger of being no hit again.

DFA Torrens, dammit.

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Double post but Torrens sucks

Of course Haase is catching tonight. I have single-handedly rectified his career. 

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

This might be a historically bad offense.

 

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Goddamnit even the hit isn’t a hit 

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

That’s it.  No hit again.

 

 

[miguelito 11250]

What's the record for most times to be no hit in one season?

The record for no hitters is 8 in one season for all of MLB. So I think if the M's got no-hit 8 times this year, that would be a record for 1 team.

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Believe it’s 7 for MLB in one season. 

 

Edit: Guess there were 8 in 1884, mound was closer then. 7 is the modern record since 1900, all four times since 1990.

I am not watching tonight and I'm not sorry.

And y’all broke my boy!

I'm a glutton for punishment so I'll probably catch some.  Want to see how Gilbert does in his second start.

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

You’re welcome boys, now everyone’s laughing at us 21.5 whole hours later. 

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Stupid browser.  I though I posted something about that.  Thanks spy.

He just got another RBI

[Biff Tannen 45661]

Well Gilbert didn’t make it out of the 3rd. I’m going to bed.

That question was answered emphatically. 

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Biff has tried to have a semblance of hope.  But yeah, this may be the worst Mariners team I have ever watched and that is saying something.

Year three of the rebuild and it does not look good. Doesn’t matter which prospects you rush up if there aren’t at least some serviceable vets to help round out the roster.  At least half of the starting lineup shouldn’t be in MLB, period.

At least Seags gets this:

 

[miguelito 11250]

Bret Boone kind of dropped off the face of the earth after baseball.  I always assumed he was hiding from potential steroid accusations, but I have no idea. 

 

I had to look him up: apparently he wrote a book in 2016.  Huh.

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Funny that Cano should be making $24M this season if he wasn’t such a goddamn idiot. 

The $48M over next two should help though. 

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

A little too positive, but some decent analysis on my least favorite player:

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

I don’t care how this works out.  I am so happy not to have to see Torrens.

 

 

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Not sure who that puts at first base.  Oh well, it’s not that hard.  Tell him, Wash.

[miguelito 11250]

What about the fans?

Yeah, maybe one of them could play first base.

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

And so it begins.

Was about to post Passan's tweet reporting same thing.  "Least vaccinated?"  This fucking franchise.

· Aaron Fletcher (#41), LHP, recalled from Triple-A Tacoma

Wonder if those are some of our dum dums.

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Won't be watching tonight, so I'll check score later.  

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

New guy is playing 1B. 

 

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

That was most folks' guess as to what was going to take place.  Hope they don't get no hit tonight.  

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

I just might be watching the Padres the rest of the year anyway.
