Mesa_Titan Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Nothing but fastballs in the first. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesa_Titan Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I shouldn't have gotten so excited... Should have realized my place as a Mariners fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagles27 Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 Gilbert was catching too much of the plate but stuff looked good. Not a great debut, but he'll be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesa_Titan Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Marte and J-Rod are raking to start the season. If J-Rod is up next season we're gonna have a big logjam in the OF... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think we will end up with a logjam. Kelenic and J-Rod are the only 2 I am counting on taking everyday spots past next season. Will be interesting to see what type of bats we go after in FA with all the OF options. We basically have to go after 1 of the shortstops or Kris Bryant.

Yeah, I'm not 100% sold on Lewis, either, but that's going to be a tough sell to most fans. Good point on Haniger, he would probably bring the haul we need to refill the farm once we graduate a bunch of the top guys. Kris Bryant would be great, TBH. Ready to DFA Evan White as it is...

Mesa_Titan Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 We’re looking quite ugly right now. Not so excited to watch this team at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animaltested Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I mean, MIL for the the franchise have been pretty good at developing prospects. Consistent stream of talent getting better moving through the ranks. But something happens when they get to the MLB. Like, you have to imagine its mostly on Scott and his crew. Its not an ability issue, it's got to be a preparation & strategic issue. How he has survived this long is a gotdam mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't had great teams to work with for the most part, but I just don't see what exactly he is bringing at this point. I want an overhaul of the staff next year as we go into what is supposed to be the start of our re-building -> contending phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesa_Titan Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Is Gilbert just an idiot? Guy is throwing 0-2 fastballs down the pipe like he Aroldis Chapman. Jesus Christ man why can't we have anything nice.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does our pitching coach not tell him he can't get away with middle-middle fastballs in the majors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuff is good, but the execution is 0/10. What happened to the changeup that was supposed to be an above average pitch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
