Mariners 2019 season

[sutz]

And the good news is we have to play them two more times. :0190l:

 

[West TX Hawk]

Well that was quite the shellacking. 21-1 loss.

Felix 2 innings 7 ER. Season era 6.96. Bringing him back recently was pointless--those valuable innings could've gone to a few prospects.

Here's hoping we at least get to see a couple starts for Dunn with the Travelers' season over today.

 

[sutz]

Yeah, kind of figured they were throwing in the towel by putting Felix out there. unno:

Was watching the 'Hawks anyway. Clicked over once, that was enough. :34853_doh:

Apparently, now they are set up to put the young guys out there this week. Haven't heard the results of the Arkansas playoff yet, but a few young guys there will be coming up.

Interesting read in the Times today about the young guys, and how they're trying to keep them together as they move up the minors so they can build camaraderie.

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — What came first, the winning or the team chemistry? In the stories romanticizing a winning team’s camaraderie in the clubhouse, that debate is rarely mentioned.

Do teams win because they have great chemistry? Or is chemistry a product of winning? Are they mutually necessary?

Since general manager Jerry Dipoto was hired, the Mariners have pushed more to the analytical side. They don’t sentimentalize long-standing narratives or “this is how it’s always been” thinking. They’ve tried to think creatively about building from within, whether it’s biomechanics, mental skills training, leadership techniques or technological advancement. And they aren’t afraid to tell you about it.

Yet, in the sauna that is Dickey-Stephens Park in the summer, the Mariners’ Class AA affiliate, the Arkansas Travelers, find themselves part of a hopeful experiment for future success. The experiment is an amalgam of the new concepts the Mariners want to become the norm and an emphasis that building team chemistry isn’t some antiquated premise but is vital to eventually ending the longest current postseason drought in sports. And maybe, just maybe, winning a World Series title.

Will Felix retire, or will his pride get in the way?

I suspect he'll try to catch on somewhere else. He's done here.

This franchise bottomed out for the season yesterday. As bad as it gets and that's saying something considering it's the mariners.

 

[Shanegotyou11]

Its embarrassing.

Kyle Lewis (in the lineup), Dunn, Walton, and Art Warren (99mph fastball) called up to Seattle from AA today.

It’s always cool to see kids realize their MLB dreams.

Kyle Lewis goes yard in his 2nd MLB AB. :2thumbs:

That's pretty damn Mariners right there.

Manages to break up a no hitter in the 7th with a 3 run homer (yeah... 3 runs)

Yeah, weird that our first 4 base runners were without hits. Gotta love Lewis. Kid came to play.

KL was a 5 tool prospect coming out of college, before his horrendous knee injury a couple of years ago.
Nice to see a lot hard work and perseverance paying off for the young man. I’m glad his family was there to witness 2 great nights for him.

The kid is on fire!

Still the mariners though

Kikuchi needs a reliable out pitch. And he needs to learn how to finish.

Too many two strike and two out hits.

He’s been pretty bad outside of that 2 hit shut out CG in Toronto.

I actually think he's had 2 or 3 good starts this year. But mostly, yeah, he's been pretty pedestrian. He still shows good stuff, but can't seem to control his pitches well enough to keep them out of the power zone.

Sheffield is pitching a gem. 8 K's through 4. :irishdrinkers:

(Please don't be a jinx ray: )
