Yeah a 1st baseman with 5 tools. Read the Baseball America scouting report and they said he was 4.0 to first he might be able to knock that down to a 3.9. Watching a fast 1st basemen at the MLB level will seem odd.Bobblehead":341xwspx said:I wonder if M's would do this

Welcome to the M's E White. Sounds like a Seahawk type of player that can play anywhere.

Me only posting when the M's lose is completely false. Who cares what Happ did last year? He's been awful this year. 2017 Happ shutting out the Mariners should never happen. Going into that Game, his ERA was like 5.3, and he'd given up 8 HRs over 25 innings. I made that Gallardo comment in the first inning, when he'd just given up 2 runs without recording an out. Yes, I spoke too soon. And yes, that was probably his best start this year. But, given the circumstances, when you have guys like Bergman and Gaviglio stepping up and earning a role on this team and Gallardo the $11 million dollar man, squandering his opportunity, very badly, he deserves to be demoted. I'm thrilled this team is once again, a game below .500. And I'm thrilled that guys like Gamel, Haniger, Heredia, Z, Valencia, and most of the bullpen are putting their big boy pants on.Chapow":2gl5w1w6 said:Thepeelsessions":2gl5w1w6 said:I have a bad feeling that this series will lead into yet another run of offensive ineptitude.
How bout now? 14 runs on 19 hits one day after your bad feeling...
Thepeelsessions":2gl5w1w6 said:J.A. Happ? Really? Unbelievable.
I guess you haven't noticed, but J.A. Happ has been pretty damn good since his short time with the M's. He won 20 games and finished 6th in AL Cy Young voting last season. He's most definitely not the scrub that you are implying he is.

Damn man. Hopefully you watched the rest of the game. Gallardo settled down and had a pretty good outing after the 1st inning. Quite frankly, we'd probably be in even worse shape than we are without Gallardo. This team lost 80% of it's starting rotation. Felix, Pax, Kuma, Smyly, and Miranda. That was supposed to be our rotation. The M's have had to fill 4 of those spots with other guys for most of the season. Someone has to start games and when you lose so many guys at once, you're probably not going to be starting a bunch of studs. I don't think Gallardo is great, maybe not even good, but we could have done worse considering the situation this team was put in. You just seem so hypercritical of every single thing that doesn't go absolutely perfect with this team. Do you expect this team to have 9 quality starting pitchers? Do you think Gallardo would be part of the starting rotation if we hadn't lost 80% of it? Could you at least give these players and this team a little credit when they play well instead of only commenting when you're unhappy about something? Your only thoughts on a game they won 14-3 is that Gallardo sucks and should be DFA'd?
For the most part, this team has been playing awfully well lately. Try to enjoy it instead of focusing and obsessing on every little thing that doesn't go perfectly.

How's that for a change, eh? Keep it up Zunino!! Hopefully this new and improved version will last. :2thumbs:

Hopefully the start to remove the stench of loser with this franchise. New owners, GM coach, coach in the last couple of years and now a new stadium name. I would love them to update the logo which is pretty uninspiring, heck at this point even renaming the team. For a team that's 40 plus years old, there's only been a few great seasons to talk about with the Mariners.
Feel like when the Seahawks updated their logo it was a kind of rebirth for the team. Hopefully the same can happen with the m's.

Next thing you know, we're going to have Zunino behind Cruz.... nah, let sleeping dogs lie.
M's hoping Segura is back next week.. seems he's running and now taking batting practice... fantastic news.

That's such good news about Segura! So promising he's ahead of schedule.
For the lineup when Segura's back, what would you think about Gamel hitting 2nd, Haniger 5th and dropping Seager to 6th? Valencia 7th, Zunino 8th, Heredia/Dyson 9th?
And a great win tonight! Bats came alive again. Miranda can get us the series win tomorrow. (Early game-10 Pacific, Noon central)
