    if the ownership were willing to pony up for morales and another bat at the deadline they could be more than that, but they won't, and it's frustrating

    The Mariners are terrible and the season is over. It's always been over. The line up is terrible. The M's have fans that always amuse me. They think this Jones guy can be a really good CF. The guy will be hitting .200 in a month.

    I like his speed, and his defense. If he can hit 250 I'm fine with it. With all the infield hits he gets he can be a .200 hitter and still hit .260.
    I get what you mean though. If they can get the rotation healthy I see a 80-83 win team, but until then they're probably a 76-78 win team, which should lead to a firing of jack z (but it won't)
    I've never even seen him play. I've just seen this happen with almost every young Mariners player.

    thus the "I get what you mean though."

    A good rotation always gives you a chance at 85-90 wins, and if they make a playoff series Felix and Iwakuma would be really dangerous.

    His average should hold up somewhat as long as he keeps making contact like he is. He's only striking out in 15% of his PA's so far in the bigs, which is the best rate of his career. It's bound to go up as pitchers adjust to him, but as long as he keeps his K rate out of the 25% or worse range he should post decent averages since he hits the ball fairly hard and has good speed.

    I know what you're saying about not getting too excited about rookie hitters, and I don't think he's going to be a star, but his performance looks fairly sustainable.

    I think Bosh settled the Hibbert question. He struggled first three games but the last three games were some of the best ball Bosh has played since joining Miami.

    I was 4 for 4 as well. I didn't get any of the games right but I did state I should go Miami in 5.

    Heat 6
    OKC 6

    Calling it now we'll have at least one game in the OKC-Spurs series where the officiating gift wraps a game to OKC if not two.

    Changing mine to Spurs in 6 after Ibaka injury. Although the Heat faced this same situation two years ago with Bosh going down. Lebron-Wade just stepped up. We'll see if Durant-Westbrook can do the same.
    BUMP

    The Ibaka injury was probably the difference although if he was healthy think Spurs still win in 7.

    OKC literally only had five guys score today although DoogsinparadiseFS would take their bench over Miami's.

    I'm sorry but did Durant even score a point in OT? The durant-lebron conversation needs to die, seriously
