So if we get swept, fire the coach?

 

[falcongoggles]

And I don’t want to hear about last year. Denver lost to the Seahawks in the SB, fired their coach and won the whole thing two years later. The Seahawks lost in crushing fashion, held on to an underperforming coach for a decade, fired said coach, won the SB two years later.

If you know the coach won’t get you to the promised land, firing him should absolutely be on the table.

 

[stack55]

This team sucks with risp.

 

[Bobblehead]

Sorry, bat at this time, the Mariners are not looking like a very good team...sadly.

 

[stack55]

3rd worse batting average in the league.

Do you think there's a realistic possibility that the Mariners will fire Wilson anytime soon? I'm not asking if you think they should, I'm asking if you think they will.

Personally, I think there's essentially zero chance that happens. Now, if this continues into July? I think it's possible. But now or anytime soon? Nope. No chance.

Yes, seeing a manager lead a team close to a World Series and then get fired a month into the following season because of a slow start, would certainly attract potential managers to this organization.

 

[Chapow]

Wow, that was a super close play at the plate.

 

[Crizilla]

1/8th of the season complete.
On pace for 65-70 wins.
Tridents Up.

 

[Bobblehead]

Wow, that was a super close play at the plate.

I couldn't believe he went home.

 

[Azvacar]

How do you get worse.... with a better lineup.. I know its early.. but... WTF?

 

[SeahawkSteve80]

This team won’t be competitive again with Dan Wilson. He doesn’t know what he’s doing

 

[Azvacar]

He 's not that dumb.. someone is giving him bad advice and he's listening to it.... he needs to just be a manager and do HIS thing
Balls deep... man up

But “we were only 8 outs away from the World Series” last year. We had our opportunity and blew it, let’s not kid ourselves here. Pretty entitled to just assume “we’ve arrived” with this franchises past history staring us all in the face.

I seem to remember a team that won 116 games and was on a verge of a dynasty with multiple championships…never happened then either.

 

[Ruminator]

I don't know who the M's third base coach is, but he is either a royal idiot, or hates the Ms:



Even if Naylor was the fastest runner in the history of baseball, he still would have been out!

What the **** happened to the Mariners this year?

There were a lot of very valid reasons to believe this team would be very good this year. It's not like that belief was based on nothing but blind homerism. I don't think entitlement has anything to do with it.
Vegas had the Mariners with the 3rd best odds of winning the WS on opening day, so it obviously wasn't just M's fans that thought they would be good.

And FYI, there are 141 games remaining. They look absolutely terrible so far, but things can and do change pretty drastically over the course of a really long season. Things weren't looking too good for the M's as late as early September last year. They were coming off a 1-6 stretch before they went on something like a 18-1 run to win the division and secure the 2 seed in the AL.

I totally get that people are sick of hearing "it's early", but the fact is, it is early. Again, there are 141 games remaining. That's a really, really long ways to go.

All good points…problem is they’ve never been a front runner, and the difference between last year and this year is there’s added pressure because of it. This looks and feels much different than last year already, we’ve won one series. One step forward two steps back.

For me its the lineup.. the constant rotations... like... RF/DH by committee is NOT working. (Keep Raley RF, Dom DH, and swap it when needed, and Cal when Garver catches)

Donovan seems to be having issues with injuries.. can we just bring up Emerson already so maybe he can just DH??

(I want Kade up too to replace Castillo via a trade mid season, but I HIGHLY doub tthats happening..as he's only pitched 3 games so far this season over 20 games in AA. but dominated them all)

And Cal... move him down already FFS... let him hit lower in the lineup to grab some flow
