I'm for putting Don Baylor down Barbaro-style, but against bagging on Justin Smoak. I'm going full Marinoog on Smoak this year. I think he's finally going to have a good year.

Don't fuck off, glove! Funny shit
-
Also, who or what can get Ackley to shave?
Holy fuck, that is one ugly beard. -
Ackley's beard > Daniel Bryan's beard

I know the game was more or less put away at this point, but I was really impressed with Ackley's AB with the bases loaded in the 9th. He went to the plate with an idea looking for the slider. He didn't panic when he took 2 fastballs knowing that the slider was coming and when it did come, he was all over it.
One of the cool things with young players is when they go from the standpoint of just having raw athletic ability to being able to combine that ability with the mental side of the game.
I'm not convinced that Smoak is there yet, but I'm all in on Ackley finally living up to the hype. -
One at bat out of 600+ he will have certainly has proven Ackley is finally living up to the hype.

Finally living up to the hype = having a good year.
I'd be very surprised if he didn't hit over .275 this year. -

lol after 2 games. He looks good and cano's presence seems to be positively affecting him but really? 2 games manTequilla said:Finally living up to the hype = having a good year.

the guy who I actually buy is ackley, remember he hit 300 in the 2nd half last year
-
Wedge a dumb fuck who basically ruined Ackley. Don't be shocked at all if him and Smoak start hitting now that jackass is gone.dhdawg said:the guy who I actually buy is ackley, remember he hit 300 in the 2nd half last year

I like to jizz my Mariner sweatpants after one game.
Refuse to Lose! Two outs, so what? -
The 2001 Mariners are BACK

I can't comment too much on Wedge's time as manager because I never watched even an inning, but he looked like a dumbass and his career record sucks.He_Needs_More_Time said:

the angels pitching is a fucking dreckfest, their bullpen is trash, wilson and weaver are both not what they used to be, and the back end is a complete unknown. Good job arte, spend a gazzilion bucks on Pujols and Hamilton when you can be spending it on pitching
-
He paid Wilson too. Gave him a 5 year 77 million when he isn't even close to being an ace.dhdawg said:the angels pitching is a fucking dreckfest, their bullpen is trash, wilson and weaver are both not what they used to be, and the back end is a complete unknown.

Nice to see these young guys doing well for the Mariners like Smoak, Ackley and Miller. Hope they can break through. You gotta go back to Jose Lopez the last time the Mariners produced a home grown All-Star position player. -
wilson had a great year in texas and hasn't done much since. Last year their back end was garrett richards and joe blanton for a portion of the year. You can spend as much on hitting as you want but it won't matter if you can't pitch
-
Hard to win when you don't draft well or develop your youngsters. They hit a grand slam with Trout but other than him their system is dog shit. Reminds me of the Mariners during the Bavasi years so you can spend, spend and spend some more but if you don't have a good farm system you won't win.dhdawg said:wilson had a great year in texas and hasn't done much since.

The fuck did Jose Lopez make an all-star team? Did all the other AL SS get FBA(RIP RACE)?He_Needs_More_Time said:

Made it in 2006 and deserved it at the time. Fell apart second half of the season though.EsophagealFeces said:

All Mariners seasons since 2001 have become a large, depressing blur of shitty hitting, horrible trades, alcohol, and wishing football started in July.He_Needs_More_Time said:

First two game national championship banner is hung!!!
You know...like the offseason one. You all get it right?
Seriously though the Ms might have something going. Ackley already put it together and Smoak might be. There's some pretty steady bats in the lineup. They're a threat.
And that shortstop hit one out in like 1/100th of a second tonight in the 8th. Jeez that fucker was crushed. I might still be blinded by how awesome that was. How many wins is one kickass homer in a game that was already won worth? -
See the Mariners (96-99). They had the best lineup in the league with A-Rod, Griffey, Edgar, and Buhner, but had no pitching outside of Randy Johnson. Even Russ Davis was hitting 20 HR's a season. Remember how bad the fucking bullpen was?dhdawg said:wilson had a great year in texas and hasn't done much since.
