A lot of people feel that way. It just can't stack up to Batman. Sucks.

Spiderman reboot is solid. It made up for the debacle that part 3 was

That's a good sign... but part 3 set the bar pretty low...

This team needs to be sold to someone who cares about winning. The whole organization just needs to undergo massive changes similar to what the Knicks are doing..

At the end of the day I know our guys have to go out and ball, but there's no denying that bad management trickles its way down to what's on the field.

Our rotation right now is a joke and Felix is going out there every five games with that "I have to win because I don't know if the other four guys can" mentality.

Pretty much, since it's on HBO Go now I'll give it another run this weekend

Plus I can look at Amy Adams all day anyways

So true

 

[DsLee]

+1 for Mark Cuban

 

[a55a5in11]

games already out of reach

 

[booradley]

Enough of Almonte in the lead off spot. Dude has the most K's on the team.

And please ship Ramirez down to Tacoma. Now.

And since everyone is talking about movies, Superman was cool and the Spider-Man reboot was "meh". They had Peter Parker crying in every other scene.

 

[elpablo21]

Erasmo fooled me

 

[elpablo21]

Erasmo has actually settled in but of course...

and I understand this team striking out alot was a given but ****

And Ack has barely put the ball in play since moving up in the lineup...and I thought that was a good move, yikes

 

[651akathepaul]

Cano, Hart, Seager, Smoak.

Sounds like runs!

 

[Sinner]

Erasmo  Mariners fooled me

 

[a55a5in11]

Well atleast Cano was close on that HR

 

[elpablo21]

Yeah...

Its time to wipe the slate clean with 90% of the roster and 99% of the Coaching staff and FO and Ownership

Is it possible to tank a season for new ownership?

What makes it worse is the M's will be more financially valuable then they've ever been going forward..so why sell?

Edit: anyone catch the Seahawks chants?

 

[DsLee]

It's time to start making up ridiculous M's trades that'll never happen, I'll start:

Paxton, Nick Franklin, and a reliever for Giancarlo Stanton.

I am so disappointed in this crop of players. They are failures. Drafted Ackley because we just missed out on a once in a lifetime pitching prospect. :x

Traded an ace for a slugger prospect within the division. Slugger is a career AAA player

Traded another phenom pitching prospect for a juicing, overweight, useless catcher/DH who brings nothing to the table

Traded Doug Fister away for trash

Traded a phenom CF and solid closer away for a broken, weak pitcher

Sign a bunch of names that don't amount to anything (Beltre, Sexson, Figgins, Cano, etc.)

What is the constant in all of this? It's not the manager. It's not the GM. It's not the hitting coach or the pitching coach. It's the ownership. Until the ownership is either changed or sells or what not, this crap will continue. These guys can't beat the Miami Marlins or Houston Astros, and we are like zombies thinking changing the skipper or adding a single All Star will change that.

 

[a55a5in11]

Could some of these issues be credited to players being rushed through the minors?

 

[651akathepaul]

Possibly. But all these dudes rake in Tacoma, so I don't know.

Also could be a sad coincidence that all these dudes happen to be mentally fragile. I really don't know.

 

[Sinner]

Lots of talk by McClendon on the rotation, but no one's addressing the offense-situation?!

I think you can attribute that to an organizational black hole. Like I said, ownership. The stigma of this team messes with these guys' heads. Beltre is a monster, comes here and is average, leaves and is a monster again. Coincidence?

Figgins is a .300 hitter with Scoscia, comes here and breaks down, wants to fight Wakamatsu. Coincidence?

Sexson had some power but mentally broke down and ends up out of the majors

The constant shuffling of managers does no favors either.

Lots of talk by McClendon on the rotation, but no one's addressing the offense-situation?! 

I don't expect any solutions, not with this roster.

 

[Sinner]

 

[finnns2003]

Been outscored 14-4 at home against the Astros the last 3 games. Wow, no hit through 3. Wake up!

 

[Sinner]

Hello Cano... we will not be no-hit!!! 

Of course Smoak GIDPs... 

 

[651akathepaul]

Seager!!!

My dude is back!

 

[elpablo21]

A Team blew the 9th inning

and it wasn't the M's!

 

[dakid23]

A win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
