It's hard to do, but I am definitely rooting for the full out tank job.

Man, I would love that so much. Definitely rooting for strong performances from the young guys with lots of losses the rest of the way. Of all the years to tank, a short season is a perfect one to do it in.

I think the velocity and movement of current pitching has just become way too much for umpires. Bring on the bots

Let's go ahead and earmark Taveras for CF moving forward. Just robbed a HR from Seattle and hit HR of his own earlier.

Good point on the shirt season tank job! Maybe we need to get Odor back in the lineup so we don't screw it up

I'm sure there's some 18 year old kid in Cali or somewhere that JD and Kip British Cigarette have their eyes on.

Oh god, I hope not. But leave it to this front office to completely screw up a sure thing if we did happen to get the #1 pick.

Looks like we are tied with Boston and Pittsburgh. Couple teams nearby as well. Still have work to do !

Yeah, there's a small bunch of teams very close to each other at the bottom. BoSox, Royals, Nats, Pirates, and Dbacks are all right there. It's going to take some quality tanking to get below all 5. I'd feel better if Lynn was gone.

With everything going on I obviously missed some transactions this off season. How did the BoSox get so bad??

Ahhh I forgot about the Mookie trade. I only remembered Price choosing not to play.

I guess Joe West needed some attention.

There is a thread on F16 about this. Classic fake news story.

Fair enough. Although you can literally hear the words "he's not wearing a mask" from the dugout. My guess was that West was tired of being heckled by Rizzo and threw that in as a reason to remove him. West himself has not been a proponent of mask use.

He had already been thrown out by then and it wasn't West that ran him.

There is no telling why West said that about the mask. He may have been just saying it to identify him.

For example

Security 'Which one is it?'
West 'he is the one not wearing a mask'


This is the problem with the world today.

I actually originally wrote that in my reply, but then took it out since there doesn't appear anyone else around.



Here's a longer clip. Wendelstedt was the one that called for the ejection. West followed up as crew chief. This guy speculates that this was thrown in as an additional charge of sorts.

I don't watch the mariners often so I have to ask: is kyle seager the greatest hitter of all time?

If he could play against the Rangers every game, he just might be...

WTH did I just read. Elvis' elbow has hurt for three years but we are just now hearing about it? Come on.

Quote:
Ortiz on Andrus
Shortstop Elvis Andrus suffered a fractured right elbow when he was hit by a pitch in 2018, and he missed two months. Hitting coach Luis Ortiz said Andrus has still not overcome some issues created by that injury.
"We started doing some drills and he said, 'My elbow is hurting,'" Ortiz said. "It is because he hasn't used it for three years, because he has been protecting it. Great athletes are great compensators. They are going to try and compete with what they've got, and that's what Elvis has tried to do.
"Now he is learning that what he is doing is not the same thing he was doing during those good years. Now he is getting back to it, and the elbow is sore because he hasn't used those muscles as often as he had three years ago."

I take it as more akin to a RB who won't cut on a repaired knee. It sounds like he's been avoiding certain motions from a mental standpoint and now that he isn't he's sore.

I think it's a convenient excuse for his terrible play

Second best. Right after Khris Davis.
