2014 Seattle Mariners

I hope this outburst by LoMo is a final nail in the coffin for Justin Smoak. I hate that guy.

:13:
Smoak has been given far too long to succeed and still hasn't. Admit your mistake and move on Jack.

I think McClendon has been quite clear he is only playing who he wants, where he wants, when he wants. Its nice to see that in a manager again

Completely agree.

Send Ackley packing along with him, the guy scares absolutely nobody at the plate. He sucks for 90% of the season, then has a hot streak to get everyone's hopes up then goes right back into blowing chunks mode. Him and Smoak are pretty much the same player.

 

[Smelly McUgly]

Yeah, I'm done with Ackley, too, especially since it shouldn't be that hard to get better production out of a corner outfielder.

Maybe Jabari Blash will start hitting the baseball or something...ORRRRRRR we could trade for Seth Smith. *coughcoughmymantracoughcough*

 

[IndyHawk]

Love the baseball the M's are playing...I didn't think they had the hitting in them..Congrats to Miller for finding his bat and LoMo...I also love Jones coming out of nowhere...I agree with getting rid of Smoak..Ackley-I'm sure there's some castoff somewhere that can play better defense and hit a few points higher..Otherwise it's time to bring another kid up who can do the job..Erasmo is one pitcher that bothers me..Drains the bp every start ..How he doesn't get hammered when he walks 5 every time out is beyond me..JZ I hope he isn't pat this trade deadline..We are players and have a good team.All teams have weak spots..A player or two can make a big difference..Go M's!!!

Iwakuma has gotten knocked around his last few starts, I hope nothing is wrong......but i will say the bartender has been doing well in a long relief role. Hopefully they can turn this around and get a sweep but still, things are looking up for this team !

Erasmo is gone. Maurer looks like an okay long reliever. Taijuan is probably coming up to start. Paxton is going to have rehab starts if his throwing sessions go well this week.

He looked like a completely different pitcher last night. He hit 99 on the radar and had 4 K's in 2 IP. I was very impressed. If you didn't see it you wouldn't believe it.

Mariners officially announce they have activated OF Michael Saunders from the DL, Jesus Montero optioned to Tacoma.

Should have sent Romero down, not because Montero is any good (though he at least looked serviceable in his limited playtime this go-round), but because I really want Lloyd to stop using Romero in the outfield when we need right-handers in the lineup. Please come back soon, Corey Hart!

Minor quibble there, though. I'm just glad Saunders is back.

Jason Churchill had been talking quite a bit about Maurer and that his true place is likely in the bullpen, because he is a 2-pitch guy with elite velocity. Erasmo has better starter potential and is still young enough to develop. He needs to stay down in Tacoma, and hopefully we can get another starter via trade so there are options if/when Walker and Paxton get back, because odds are Chris Young will have a drop off at some point.

 

[SmokinHawk]

These guys are starting to look like a halfway decent ball club. They could make some serious noise if they land another decent bat. For the Mariners, I haven't seen a stable of starting pitchers this deep in quite some time.

 

[bevellisthedevil]

It appears the team really likes playing with one another. Of course, winning always changes additudes.

 

[Hawker]

Chavez-Jones-Cano-Seager at the top of the lineup is really firing on all cylinders. Seager is really impressing me. Well done!

Fernando Rodney is giving me an ulcer, he is getting the job done but its never dull......

Thats how a lot of closers not named Mariano Rivera roll. They have only a couple pitches and heat is typically their best. Its strikeouts or longballs. Eric Gagne used to drive me insane. Outside of the fact he had a bagillion saves in a season.

 

[IndyHawk]

Felix is dealing...Walker pitches tommorow-no more Erasmo crap..I'm liking this team...

 

[Smelly McUgly]

It's a shame that this year, the Ms happen to be in the best division in baseball. Bad timing.

Cano blast!

 

[kearly]

I hope we don't look back on this season and ask "what if" with Kendrys Morales. We need a plus bat DH so desperately, and the only decent options in trade would add more salary than Morales would have.

This is a playoff team that will probably just miss out thanks to the 5 black holes they have in the lineup most days. If they could just get that number down to 3, they'd be very tough to beat out for that second wildcard spot. Maybe they still get it anyway, but even with the pitching being unreal this team is still just barely holding onto it.

 

[Smelly McUgly]

Morales did not want to be here. Turned down a QO, turned down mutiple offers after that reportedly...which sucks.
