Extrapolating the M's current Spring Training record, it appears they're going to go the entire season undefeated and win the World Series!

Looking like Ms are going to have another great season, and not just because they finished strong last year:

Writing on the wall for JP, imo.

Interesting article in the Athletic about Rob Refsnyder and how he has become more productive as he's gotten older thanks to a change in his approach.

Refsnyder has the 7th highest OPS against lefties since 2022, at .924.

Why a 34-year-old platoon bat just signed his biggest contract in the twilight of his career

Rob Refsnyder’s unusual career arc, and his deal with the Seattle Mariners, helps explain an entire industry’s shift in offensive approach.

Lots of things are looking awfully good for the M's upcoming season. Including:

After his great season in 2024 (in which he had an ERA of 2.94 and a WHIP of 0.97), Bryce Miller struggled through 2025 with an ERA of 5.68 and a WHIP of 1.40. Not to mention that he missed half the year. To have him back at full strength this year is going to be huge.

Even Brash is in better shape than he's been in a while.

Been hearing good things about Arroyo..anybody else?

 

[Crizilla]

Yeah. Montes looks awful though

Still young--21. Started in A ball last year and struggled in double A.

No way man, he doesn't have 7 home runs already, he sucks, trade him, bust.

Today's amazing Criz take in 3.....2......1.......

 

[Crizilla]

He won't make the roster. Sadly theres no room for him

YOu talking the 26 or the 40?

 

[Crizilla]

Rhyan Thomas has been killing it. He could make the 26 man roster. 18 hits in 19 spring training games.

One week 'til the home opener vs Cleveland!

Rivas 35 AB's in ST, that's a lot. Only batting .200. Maybe Bliss gets the back up 2nd base spot.

According to everyone here, if they aren't doing good in Spring Training, we shouldn't question it at all... They are "working on stuff"

stfu Crizilla, Rivas is an all star "/sarcasm"

To bring up another thread I got shit on... Castillo.. still giving up those home runs.. but as a "veteran" he's working on things.... yeah like trying to throw the ball hard again and not for BP
