**Seattle Mariners 2024 Season Thread ** | 15-12 | v. Braves & Houston |

I don't mind too much right now. What really irked me last year was when he'd bench a semi-hot or hot bat to get that player rest. Made no sense.

I can see the rationale behind today's lineup.

 

[checks grossman]

I'd like to see maybe another LH or two in there

Edit: Had no clue it was a 12:37pm start, very random.

 

[Sinner]

Ah, just in time. 

EDIT ~ The boy's not having the smoothest of starts...

 

[checks grossman]

He's tossing em gifts right down the middle on these 1-2 counts.

 

[Sinner]

Oh man, Dustin robbed there. At least he's making solid contact. 

 

[checks grossman]

Yeah he had ripped that one, great play by the first baseman, though. I didn't realize he's yet to record a hit this season but he is making solid contact.

I hate his new stance by the way

The drought is ovvvaaaaa

 

[Sinner]

^ Are you a big Sims fan or something? Lol.

Great hussle-single there. Deserves something, no doubt.

 

[checks grossman]

Yeah, I rock with Dave Sims. He's a pretty good analyst and you can tell he's a natural fan at heart with his passion showing through the mic. He can be off the wall at times, though.

  I grew up on Dave Niehaus who was an OG in the game. There won't be another like him thats for sure.

 

[Sinner]

Damn, Michael.

 

[elpablo21]

Dave Sims has a very punchable face.

Morse is a GAWD.

 

[651akathepaul]

Yeah, he's on the juice again.

 

[Sinner]

 Gotta say, I am still not a fan of Sims. Nothing against him personally or anything... I just don't like his commentary-style. I dunno what it is.  Obviously no one will ever replace Niehaus.  I don't hate Sims, but I would just rather not hear him commentate. 

EDIT ~ And he's done. 

 

[checks grossman]

Yikes this is a tough one to watch, moreso than yesterdays game.

 

[elpablo21]

Got that *** kicked in true M's fashion

 

[checks grossman]

Indeed...but I'll take 2-2 against the division champs. Onto the White Sox who we've been pretty bad against esp. on the road. Unfortunately we run into Aaron sale in game 3.

 

[651akathepaul]

^Thought that said Aaron Sele for a second. It's Chris Sale.

 

[checks grossman]

 

 Yo Thats crazy everytime I see his name I read it as 'Chris Sele' and instantly think of aaron sele

 

[651akathepaul]

Welp..

 

[checks grossman]

Heres some pics from opening night at the Safe featuring the new jumbotron. Cant wait for some good weather here to go to these games.
