Independent. Fiscally conservative. Socially more liberal. I know WHY I believe what I believe. Pacific NW. Mariners fan (actually Cal Raleigh fan). I believe most people are poorly informed.
Nor is it all about stats for Cal.
I love Varitek.
I love that Cal loves Varitek.
It's about toughness and leadership.

This is a pretty powerful position.

Things you knew he'd say even though he knows it's a lie.
Why would laws mean anything to him now?
No law has ever meant anything to him in his long embarrassing life.

This.
March 14, 2025 at 2:44 PM
This is disconcerting.
We look like the bad guys.

Does Mitch Garver have value IF HE IS USED CORRECTLY???
Garver (and the current roster) stats against LH pitchers.
A 124 wRC+ will play every day.
Odds of a bounce back are high.

It almost makes one think that in exchange for Saudi Arabia buying $100B of $Trump crypto, Donald will put America back on oil. Is it too late to save America?

I agree with you.
You can't hit a 3-run HR with nobody on base.
Robles proved last season that Seattle got too focused on everybody hitting HRs.
Victor had ZERO HRs in September and a 192 wRC+.
He was Seattle's best hitter--with ZERO HRs.
I'll take 3 more guys with a .465 OBP.
Line Drives!!!!!

Victor Robles had a 192 wRC+ in September.
Can we finally admit that some players should never try to hit a HR and can we agree that there is nothing wrong with zero HRs!
Can we realize that JP would be a much better asset if he tried to hit ONLY LDs and avoided FBs!

Here is whether Seattle will succeed or fail in 2025.
Not players they have acquired.
Not players they want to acquire.
It's the SEATTLE CORE FOUR of position players.
Raleigh
Rodriguez
Robles
Raley
Can last September continue into 2025?
And can JP become a LH hitting Robles?
No HRs/HIGH OBP.
January 21, 2025 at 10:50 AM
Seattle's stats in September after Wilson and Edgar had one week at the end of August to recalibrate everybody.

Robles ZERO HRs and a 192 wRC+.

I would have kept Urias and promised him that if he didn't come to ST ready to play, he would spend another year in Tacoma WITHOUT parole. Tough love.

To all those who asked and to those who didn't, I will not be watching or acknowledging the inauguration on Monday.
I'll be too busy washing my hair.

From June 23rd on.
The REAL 2nd half of the year.
Who is the best Catcher in baseball right now?
Any idiot can see.
Oh, and the Silver Slugger guy is at 106 wRC+ while resting his legs at 1B or DH half the time!!!
"Right Now?"
MLB is a joke.
They can choke on their list.

1957!!! I was there!!!
Until my Daddy put a screeching halt to all the nonsense.

Runs scored and other stats the 2nd half of the season after Robles and Arozarena started playing every day and Raley/JT took over at 1B.

After Dan Wilson and Edgar took over, Seattle was 8th in the league.
January 7, 2025 at 5:33 PM
They already have a top 15 offense without making any changes.
Attached is the current Seattle roster stats for the REAL last half of the season (the last 82 games).

Hitter and wRC+ from June 23rd through Sept 29
9 Robles 153
8 Julio 137
2 Cal 139
3 Luke 139
7 Randy 131

As good as in the league.

Seattle Mariners
"We're all we got!"
"We're all we need!"
Current roster 2023-24 stats.
January 4, 2025 at 7:56 PM
How can you improve at 1B????
A Raley/Anybody platoon at 1B is better than anyone you can sign.
70.7% of all plate appearances are against RH pitchers.
You already have 2 LH hitting 3rd basemen on the roster.
You have a LH hitting 2nd baseman ready to play.
Current roster vs. RHs 2023-24.

I could win with that roster.
I could NOT win with that lineup.
