"Carving up" is a misstatement.

I'm still all-in on Joey Gallo, btw. He's going to be a beast this year.

Chris Carter with 3B and OF defense is pretty solid.

He'll hit more than CCC. More pop and more walks.

This is Chris Davis with even more raw power.

 

Eventually pitchers will get so f***ing scared that his BB% will be elite.

Well, he kind of makes CCC look like Andrelton Simmons when it comes to contact.

 

And I don't know...Chris Davis' one handed swings are absurd.

Mariners are struggling to score--1 run this series, and they're already 0-2.. not an encouraging start. Either it's strong Houston pitching, or the M's lineup sucks..

I think we all know it's the latter. The Mariners have been a disgustingly bad offensive for a decade now and nothing has changed.

Indians win. Rangers pitching has been an Achilles' heel so far.. and without Beltre, they're missing that clutch bat.. plus, they were bound for significant regression (they were basically a .500 team at best that got really lucky with 1-run wins.).. plus, the Indians are strong.

 

Edwin 0-3, 1BB, 1K AJax and Santana were the key pieces today, along with a strong Carrasco outing.

Just ignore the fact that they had the second best offense in all of baseball last year

 

*Just to clarify, this is not for your benefit as I know better than to assume you'll admit when you're wrong. I'm sure you'll employ some serious mental gymnastics here, but other posters might read this and think you actually know what you're talking about.

There is really no wriggling out of that, wow. Even if Grant pulls his classic retreat into 1970 era statistics and sorts by runs scored, the M's were still 6th in baseball.

 

"disgustingly bad offense"

Yes. Watching Oakland home games is torture.

I made no reference to single season statistics. You quoted me and then responded as if I said something completely different. Their stats for the past decade are in the link below:

These are just the ones where Grant pretends it never happened. You know, out of sight, out of mind. I think that's another name for the scientific method.

 

E: nope, I was wrong, he's going for it.

Please explain to me the relevance of stats from a decade ago, when they employed many players who are currently retired.

 

Also explain to me why that is more relevant than an analysis of last year where they had mostly the exact same roster.

 

You're the one who said the M's have a disgusting offense. I see you're going to the "technicality" defense. Smart!

 

E: NJH got that one, "nothing has changed" except for when it did.

Haven't heard from him the last inning, he either was tossed or told to shut up... that Parker guy was filthy. I went to see if I could add him but King owns him...:P

You know he struckout 17 in a row to end spring training? Talk about making an impression.
