Jose Ferrer… DADDY

How is somebody not red hot right now. Bazardo cud asking for trouble

Thankfully, Joe got not one, but the two most important at bats of the night. World class managing

Dan Wilson is a great dude. He’s a shit manager. But hey, at least Connor Joe will get to hit against Mason Miller later in the game.

Also…. I was at both games lol

Should probably visit Washington. And Alaska.

Hitting is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. Not as difficult as the Mariners are currently making it look

Seems pretty clear we’re getting some bombshell trump news in the next day or so, doesn’t it? Malania speaks, trump is already throwing out his “the media is out to get me” rants. Something is about to hit the fan and only like 3 “journalists” will cover it correctly. Awesome timeline, yup.

Trump thinks this is his ticket to the Nobel peace prize, but in reality, it’ll be going to Asim Munir

The “productive out” bullshit needs to stop.

I know it’s silly, but Leo not even forcing a throw after swing at a pitch that bounced in front of home plate is unacceptable. No disrespect, but you’re Leo fucking Rivas. Get your ass out of the box

The first step to being good at something is sucking at it. Just waiting for Dan to make that transition, because he still fucking sucks at it

That might have been the worst managed game I’ve ever seen. Maybe the boys will save their manager, because he managed like a drunk tonight

Well, Cole Wilcox has got some shit. Damn.

Isn’t it time to retire the “rally shoe” thing?

Bliss for Canzone. It would be funny if it wasn’t so infuriating

Dan is incompetent.

Walking the nine hitter in a 2 run game usually goes well.

Mariners 2-3-4… still the worst hitters on the team… for now. Obviously won’t be for long

And there’s a W. Cal, Julio, and Josh aren’t even close, and they’ve managed to score 9 runs against a good pitch staff in a cold T-Mobile park. Not too shabby.

Why would you be willing to use Wilcox with a 5 run lead but not a 4 run lead?

It took you 4 minutes to come to that conclusion? The fuck is wrong with you

This is taking way too long. It’s plain as day. But MLB is incompetent so…

Cal hasn’t looked this lost since his rookie year. He’ll get there, but these ABs are fucking AWFUL. He doesn’t even look close

Can. Not. Happen.

LOLOLOLOL WHAT THE FUCK ARE THE GUARDIANS DOING?

Jesus fucking Christ George. He’s imploding.

Losing a hitter 0-2 is a bad omen

FLAG PLAYER DINGER

That whole disaster was set up by Donovan not securing a gifted run with a truly AWFUL swing decision, but good lord, youre not going to win games when Cal and Julio are your two worst hitters

Cal shouldn’t be hitting second tomorrow. He’s not close right now.

Strand this run, lose the game

I’m saying, the PWHL has a really interesting system for handling tanking. Might want to look into it

Poor in game management aside, and horrific at bats from the middle of your order, I felt the Mariners fell a little short of their admittedly high bar of opening days. I’ll discuss a little tomorrow. Mostly just related to some newness I’m sure. Still a great time at the ballpark

With all due respect… shut the fuck up

Freddie Prinze Jr with an all time great rant that sums this up…

Thanks to @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social, I knew this just from the picture

The other big story is Emerson Hancock. We’ve seen him have good springs, so we’ll see. But the 44% whiff rate on a four seam is nuts. Also throwing a much firmer slider. Almost cutter like. He could be a boom guy IF they finally just stick him in the bullpen.

Kade Anderson had 8 whiffs in 14 swings. The big number there is a 43% whiff on the fastball. 30% is considered elite. A fastball-changeup lefty is so much fun to watch.

You shouldn’t be allowed to bet on anything but sports. This is sick

Fun note on Luis Castillo: From 3/28-8/15: 3.19 ERA from 8/15-9/01: 10.06 ERA From 9/02- end of season: 1.07 ERA. Dude can still pitch.

Portnoy is the biggest bitch in sports media. Just a fucking awful dude who will always play the victim when his bullshit behavior gets called out. Fuck him

Watched what they did to San Fran, smart man. Apparently patriots fans didn’t

Could’ve been 40-0 without them. Of course, Sam makes one or two extra throws, it probably still could’ve been

Brendan Donovan is pretty good. He’s also a Seattle Mariner. So that’s pretty, pretty, good

Is he hacked or is he starting a knock off OF page?

Pereda appears to be about an averagish catcher defensively. Some good hard hit rates, doesn’t chase, but also doesn’t make a ton of contact. A little pop. But what makes him most appealing is he has an option year left. Very likely to be stashed in AAA, but will compete with Knizner this spring.

My biggest concern is how they perform in the pass game. Charbonnet was good in pass pro. They’ll miss some of his size at the goal line, but picking up the extra rusher is an asset I’m not sure Holani/Akers/Jones has

If K9 will take a reasonable deal, I’m fine with that. He’s not an elite RB so I’m not giving him top of the market money. If Allgeier comes in at less, I’d rather grab him. But if the market takes off, I’m fine grabbing a Najee or Dobbins and drafting a guy on day 2 or 3

Leonard Williams, JSN, Spoon, Darnold, and Ernest I think. Tons of great options this year
