I watched in-person once as the Mariners went 18 innings trying to win a home ALDS game. This was the celebratory beer outside the Mariners clubhouse that never got poured in 2022 as the Astros beat them 1-0 in 18 innings.

So, I get a text from one of my buddies that Bregman is >going to sign< with the Washington Nationals and I go online and there’s a story with the headline “Washington Nationals Signing Alex Bregman in MLB Free Agency.”  So, I ran with the story…without reading the article….which turned out to be one of those bullshit articles with a headline that took liberties with the truth.  Clickbait.  I’m an old and my bud who texted me is an old and, when you’re old, you do at least one embarrassing thing a day.  And you blame it on being old.  The worst part of getting older is getting old.  But it beats the alternative.

This makes no sense.

The mariners were going to get hammered for winning an 18 inning game with the reward another game the following night?


Seattle wasn’t celebrating shit in Seattle after Robbie Ray got the mound in the 9th in game 1.

I was at a charity dinner in Tulsa on Friday and one of the old dudes at our table swore to me that Sark had just hired Gundy as OC that afternoon.  Said he saw it on “The Facebook.”   
 

So my question is, how long have you lived in Tulsa?

So you're telling me these chucklefucks that we called up were actually good before they got up to the big leagues?  Fire the major league hitting coaches again!

That would seem to indicate the correct moves would be FIRE the hitting coaches AND elevate whomever it is working down in the minor leagues (excluding Bagwell and his time with Alvarez hitting soft toss and off tees).

Not sure what this graphic is supposed to mean, but go look at the minors, we are bereft of positional prospects that put up good offensive numbers at every level.

Fayetteville - .228/.341/.340/.680

Asheville - .224/.317/.356/.673

Corpus - .221/.313/.346/.659

Sugar Land - .231/.336/.398/.734

Bagwell was actually an awesome hitting coach for the 3 months he did it before he decided that he'd rather not live that lifestyle when he could booze it up back home. Came closer to making chicken salad out of chicken shit than any other hitting coach we've ever had.

So our 1B signing hovering around .700 ops all season didn't turn you on either?

Manny Ramirez is getting word out to all 30 teams he’d love to serve as an MLB hitting coach. “He wants to bring his greatness to teach the young guys,” his agent Hector Zepeda said. Credentials: 555 HRs, .312 BA, .996 OPS

Does he bring his own juice as well? But yeah, I would love to see his approach fostered in this organization.

Former top prospect with a wildly good pedigree in the minors that just never translated. 

Fastball averages at 95 but tops at 97. I think he used to throw 100. Has a sinker at those speeds too. Pretty hard slider that tops at 90. Curveball at 80-83 as well. 

Safe contract

93rd percentile in four-seam velocity and 83rd percentile in extension? Yeah, the Astros definitely have a type. https://t.co/ttAlv9ganU

Something happened to his FB because it was worth 4.6 runs above average in 2023, but the last two seasons, it's been worth -8.9 combined. Most of his offerings have been all over the place. Will be interesting to see what his pitch mix is after he goes into the Astros' lab.

GO EAT NNINGS !!!!!!

You can't eat innings when you are giving up 4 runs every inning.

Pearson will suck and be DFA'd by June

Its just more of the same trying to shine a turd on the cheap
