South Side Hit Men Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 3 hours ago, Harold's Leg Lift said: Did the players apologize to the General Manager for their temper tantrum accusing him of tanking the season at the trade deadline? https://sports.yahoo.com/mariners-players-gm-jerry-dipoto-kendall-graveman-trade-astros-mlb-033541868.html Quote “Are you (expletive) kidding me?” said the same player. “It never changes. They don’t care about winning. How do you trade him and say you care about winning? And you trade him to Houston? It never changes.” Dipoto acquired the following as a result of the trade temper tantrum and subsequent moves: Joe Smith with a 2.00 ERA 3 Wins, better than Graveman Astros ERA (3.00) Abraham Toro with a 0.8 fWAR in his two months in Seattle, including two home runs against the Astros immediately after the trade. Plus Diego Castillo 2.95 ERA 3 Wins & Tyler Anderson 0.5 fWAR, 2-2 4.50 ERA starter in separate transactions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) Unfortunately, also struck out with runners on 1st and 3rd, no outs, bottom of the 7th, down 2-1 in a do or die game for Mariners playoff chances…and to end the game with two outs and the tying runner on second, bottom of the ninth.

SoxAce Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Off a AAA pitcher. Well... at least it's a start for him lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Of course, he was at that point something like 1 for 17 on the season... How many big league teams would Lambert actually get a start for at this point in the season? 92-94 MPH is below average for a major league starter now, fwiw (although his did "play up" a bit in this game, other than that one pitch.) 3-5? 7-8? Eventually, there's going to be a reckoning over playing time in early June when Kyle Lewis comes back. With Frazier, Rodriguez, Haniger and Lewis, someone's playing time is eventually going to be cut if they're to survive in the hyper-competitive AL Wildcard Race (assuming for now the Astros win the division again.)

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 He finished last season with a -0.7 fWAR. Will he beat that this season? Maybe -1.5 fWAR if he gets enough ABs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 "We all spent most of last year waiting for Jarred Kelenic to get it going, and by the end of the year, he finally did. Looks like 2022 is going to be the same, not just for Kelenic, but for the even more highly regarded phenom Julio Rodríguez. They’re a combined 9-for-61 so far, with three extra base hits and 27 strikeouts. Young players are young players, obviously, but it’s fair to say the Mariners, who are trying to end a certain drought here, would like to get that in gear, and fast." mlb.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 He just passed Nick Madrigal on the OPS list. Almost all of the young studs are struggling this year. Witt and Rodriguez in Seattle. Torkelson's doing okay now after a rough start. Abrams is struggling with the Padres, unsurprisingly after missing half the year and barely having 350 minor league at-bats (coming from high school, too).

caulfield12 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Nice to see him and Rodriguez playing with joy and getting some big game-changing hits last night. The emotions there were like night and day compared with Sox/Twins… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralChamps21 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Sox got their Adam Engel in the 19th round. Not sure why Seattle had to use a first round pick on theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
