Rangers @ Mariners Apr 11-14, '25...

[cymatica]

SWEEP!! WOW. Back to .500. Let's keep this rolling. Also, 7-3 in the division. Games count the same in April as they do in September

Couldn't have been more wrong. And it feels amazing.

Enjoy it while it lasts

This is what the Mariners do, get your hopes up and then smash them down. The future is bright with a change of ownership

As long as a weasel like Howie Schultz doesn't get it

 

[Crizilla]

Lomart has PC issues, I posted this last season and it's still an issue.

I was talking about Woo

 

[Goldfinger 007]

I was talking about Woo

After 3 starts for everyone, Woo leads in innings & wins

 

[sutz]

It's been a few years since we could celebrate a 4 game win streak against our division foes in early April.

I'm enjoying it no matter what you guys say.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Enjoy it while it lasts

I enjoy all wins. I'm fully aware of the many offensive issues of this team.

Change the record.

[sutz]

Change the record.

Just Messin

As a glass half full kind of guy, even I can admit it's the Mariners that need to "change the record." I remain hopeful they are doing it this year. If they are going to do it, they're off to a decent start.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Absolutely. I think everyone has the same concerns with the offense. Just nice to see them finally playing some solid ball as a team. Will it be enough in the end? Maybe not, but it sure is a hell of a lot easier to watch when they don't crap the bed.
Stoked to see the rook play 3rd. From what they were saying on 710 ESPN, he's a phenom on defense.

Side note: pretty quiet from the hardcore Deb crew all the sudden.........

 

[sutz]

It's a long season, they'll have plenty of opportunities going forward.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

True dat. Losing Robles was a huge. Bliss is a good player, but I don't see that as a massive loss. Moore is a gold glove defender. Now, when the kid eventually takes over at 3rd, that should be fun to watch.
I clearly got too grumpy too early, this is more fun.

Love, Captain Obvious

Until they actually when their division every criticism throughout the season is warranted. We are Mariner fans. Until it actually happens prepare to hear it. Funny thing is Ms fanbase is actually pretty soft compared to other teams.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Absolutely warranted. However, people literally acting mad when they WIN, and folding their arms like it hurts their feels. Hilarious.
Just because YOU think everything sucks and/or want to downplay anything good that happens, doesn't mean everyone else is required to.

We can all fan however we want. Get pissed when it's time, enjoy a win when it's time. Believe it not, BOTH can exist.
I'd say the people who act mad after wins are just as you say "soft". Being positive doesn't make someone soft. Ridiculous statement.

But hey, I'm here for the rollercoaster. Sometimes they piss you off so much, other times they shock you, in a good way.
Suck it up, buttercup. This is baseball. There will be up and down for ALL teams.
There isn't a person on here who isn't FULLY aware of this ridiculous front office and/or their refusal to add to the offense.
But if that's enough to make someone stop watching, so be it, that's their choice. F that, I will never stop watching, even if sometimes it's really tough. Telling other people they're soft and/or idiots for pulling for the team, or having hope? Just plain stupid.

 

[Crizilla]

All I said is he settled down after having a high pitch count after the first few innings. Never said he had a bad game......

If a pitcher has a rough 1st inning, they can still have a damn good game.

Yeah, I know. That was my point....

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Fair enough

 

[sutz]

Would never want to say you can't voice your opinion. I am getting better at ignoring you and others, though.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Just remember, Sutz: EVERYTHING SUCKS. Winning sucks too. It has to look a certain way.

 

[IndyHawk]

I was talking about Woo

Woo is very good with his Pitch counts vs Lomart
Lomart is supposed to be an ace right?
I guess my version of an ace isn't at 80-90 pitches
before the 5th but he does that a lot.
I love the guy but he has to do better on PCs - that is
my only issue with him.

Remember what the late Ron Fairley told us: If you score more than the other team, you're gonna' win.
