2023 Seattle Mariners Thread

DBacks mostly, then Dodgers. Was bad for CWS last year, but opted out of like $12M cause he clearly didn't like something about the city/franchise. He'll start against every lefty. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

2 for AJP also, both off the righty reliever. Baseball, man.

Hey, that was fun.

That $24M is one of the luckiest player extensions in history. 

Quote

Mariners first baseman Evan White recently suffered a Grade 2 groin strain and will be out of action for the next two months, per Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times.

This news is the latest in a series of frustrating setbacks for a player who was once a highly-touted youngster. Selected 17th overall in the 2017 draft, White thrived in the lower levels of the minors and got himself onto Baseball America’s top 100 list in 2019 and 2020. It was in that time, November of 2019, that he and the club agreed to a six-year, $24MM extension. It was a vote of confidence in a young player who had yet to crack the majors but seemed on the verge of a breakout after hitting .293/.350/.488 in Double-A.

White was promoted to the big leagues in 2020 but struggled in his first taste of the majors, hitting .176/.252/.346. He also struck out in 41.6% of his plate appearances over 54 games in the shortened season. Since that time, White hasn’t been able to play much at all due to injuries, requiring hip surgery and sports hernia surgery. He played just 34 games in 2021 between Triple-A and the majors, then just 28 Triple-A games last year.

How about you only post the good news from now on?

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

At 2-5, good is kinda thin. Gilbert goes tomorrow though, that's positive. 3:10 Central. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

2 in top 5 to cut the deficit to 3-2, Gilbert done after 4. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

And tied now in top 6. 

[Biff Tannen 45661]

Cmon boys 

[Biff Tannen 45661]

And J Rod says GTFO

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Fucking BOOM, JRod 2-run yack! 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Easy game, never a doubt. 

[miguelito 11251]

How about that!

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

3-0 blue in bot 3. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

You're the big winners. 

[miguelito 11251]

Listened to the game on the iPad, sitting by a campfire cooking burgers and cherry cobbler. Good game.

Hey, Mikey wins!

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Up 3-1, 1st & 2nd, 1 out in bot 9, Josh Bell up.

*1 out

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Whoops, Teoscar couldn't make the play, tied. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Manfred-ball incoming. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Eugenio had 'em loaded with 1 out, K'd. Going to bot 10 still tied. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

New guy just up from Tacoma gets out of runner on 3rd, 1 out. 

Servais PH LaStella for Pollock in top 9, which forced Teoscar into RF. Tough play, but should have been made for ballgame. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Jarred rips one off the RC wall, 4-3 in top 11. 

[Biff Tannen 45661]

HOLY SHIT KELENIC DID SOMETHING GOOD

[Biff Tannen 45661]

WHY IN THE MOTHERFUCK ARE WE STILL HAVING A RUNNER ON 2ND IN EXTRAS??!?!!?!

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Jesus fuck, never easy. 

[Biff Tannen 45661]

Let's just start having ghost runners and play rock paper scissors for home field advantage in the world series.  And while we're at it, how about trampolines in the outfield and have the batters run to first with an egg on a spoon?  Fucking farcical.  All of it.

[Biff Tannen 45661]

How about a potato sack race for runners when they get to 2nd?  You fucking nazis.  Absolute fucking clown show.

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Let's play 12.

Oh I thought we were trying to make the games shorter?  What happened?  Oh, let's just make up bullshit rules that make no sense.  Cool.  Cool cool cool.

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

That’s a real bad loss. 

But at least Biff has a good buzz.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK EVERYONE

[miguelito 11251]

I guess a sweep was too much to ask.

On to Wrigley!

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Get ‘em next time.

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Leadoff double in top 8 down 1. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Welp, shitty baserunning fucked that all up. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Jarred just fucking murdered one in top 9 to tie. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Shit, France Ks with ‘em loaded & 1 out. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Jesus fuck, picked the runner off 2nd, but fucked up the throw to 3rd. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Walked off, glad Biff missed that. 

[miguelito 11251]

Nuts.

[Biff Tannen 45661]

Ah horseshit

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

6-0 in top 2, little more fun. 

[miguelito 11251]

Shitfuck. Cubs now up 8-7, still 3rd inning. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Holy shit, I hadn't checked back in awhile. 

[miguelito 11251]

It's your fault.  Flexen's too. But also yours.

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Just remember, Biff's gone in 2 weeks. I'm all you got! 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

From up 7-0 to down 14-8, fucking ouch. 

[Biff Tannen 45661]

Shit show

[Biff Tannen 45661]

Gilbert dealing.  4 straight Ks.  7Ks thru 4 and 2/3rds.
