In one of the deepest races for the AL Wild Card that we have seen in the last two decades, will the Mariner's be buyers or sellers? The 2023 roster isn't doing it offensively, and 2024 looks to be even worse with no reinforcements coming up from the Minors. The time to strike for hitting is now, and I go over three general predictions/hopes for the M's this weekend.
For the first time in many years the Astros look vulnerable. With the Mariners absolutely dominant rotation do they have a shot at taking the division? I missed a few weeks, there is a lot to talk about from the debut of the next Mariner Cy Young candidate to Julio moving in the lineup, let's get into it!
Overall it was a winning homestand for the M's, so the Brewer sweep isn't that painful right? Right? Lots of ups and downs this week, some good baseball, some bad baseball, lets get into it.
So many storylines from the Chicago and Colorado games. Jarred Kelenic is the most talked about thing on Mariner Twitter, Castillo is absolutely dominant and is having a historic start to 2023, Jerry's argument for his DH strategy took a serious hit, and Julio is slumping. There is a lot to discuss from this week. Come for the Kelenic adoration, stay for the sincere DH rant (1/21 isn't going to get it done at the major league level). It was a packed week!
The first homestand of the year ended in disappointment with the Mariners dropping 2 of 3 to the Angels (are we over platooning?). Then the M's went on to show their 2022 ways in Cleveland looking like a completely different team defensively (for the first two games). Full recap and notes in this one with a little, "Are We Worried?" at the end with certain players.
There are 162 games in a baseball season, deep breathes Mariner fans! The opener wasn't the way the Ms wanted to start the season, but it was a great test for where they are at going into the season. Cleveland is a great team and the defense did themselves no favors. All of it is recapped plus a look at the pitching matchups this week against LAA.
Opening day is finally here! The season starts fresh with sky high expectations heading into a tough opening series at home. The Guardians were a great matchup in 2022 and will be no different in 2023. Also some final thoughts on the MLB roster leaving Peoria. Baseball is back!
Coming in as the premiere free agent acquisition of the offseason for the Mariners, AJ Pollock is here to mash lefties! This was an underrated signing by the front office and Pollock's veteran leadership and ability to crush left handed pitching is going to be vital to this young team.
Kelenic has possibly the most potential out of anyone (Jrod excluded) on the 2023 Mariner starting roster. With inconsistent playing time and a lot of call-ups/send-downs, he has yet to be able to put together consistent PA's at the major league level. Hopefully this year the front office lets him have the time needed to truly develop and adapt to major league pitching. There is so much potential in this young athlete!
Even though JP had a bit of a down year offensively and defensively in 2022, he was still invaluable to the team with his leadership and positive mindset. He is a big part of growing the young team and is a strong voice in the clubhouse. With that being said, as the shift is banned in 2023, it is crucial he has a bounce back year defensively.
Cal will go down with one of the most iconic Seattle sports moments of all time already in his early career. After a powerful year in 2022, what can we expect from him in 2023? One of my favorite players on the current Mariner roster finally gets his own episode.
Teoscar has massive power and a genuinely positive clubhouse vibe. He is coming to Seattle to have fun and mash baseballs. What are the projections for his 2023 season and what can we expect from the former Blue Jays All-Star?
Good Vibes Only in this preview of Geno's 2023 season! Steamer did him dirty and projects a massive regression for the third base slugger. Is that accurate? I get passionate about this one.
Ty is a fan favorite and had a tremendous first half of the season in 2022 before slumping in the final stretch. What are his projections for 2023? Will he be more of the first or second half version of Ty? All of that is discussed in this episode.
Kolten Wong is an exciting addition to this young Mariner club. He has multiple gold glove awards and has a strong veteran presence. In this episode I discuss what his 2023 season is projected to look like and what we could expect from the second baseman.
The Reflection and Projection series continues with our projected opening day leadoff hitter, Julio Rodriguez! He had an incredible season and quickly became a Seattle sports icon. What were some of his big 2022 moments and what can we expect in 2023? All of that is discussed in this episode.
So much going on in this episode. There's an update on Mariner WBC players and their performances in the tournament, some serious Kelenic praise, lots of pitching performance reaction/rotation projection, and finally some middle infield depth issues are discussed. There is also some catcher love at the end because Raleigh and Murphy are going to tear the league up this year.
Marco had a decent year in 2022. It wasn't amazing, but it also wasn't as bad as Mariner twitter would have you think. He was actually better than most playoff teams #5 starter and he was consistently available. Will he have a similar 2023 or will he be out of the rotation by the end of the year?
Kirby had a better Rookie year than anyone could have hoped for in 2022. He was the best rookie pitcher in the major leagues. Will he take an even bigger step forward and end the season near the top of the M's rotation instead of the back end?
The insane tear that Logan started 2022 off on was so cool to see. He had a few rough NYY starts but mostly dominated in his Sophomore year. Can we expect even more growth in 2023 in his third year for the M's?
