Mariners @ Twins OFFICIAL Game Thread

I don't understand why more stadiums don't do this.

it makes seeing balls/strikes so much easier.

I think so

maybe the m's get lucky and extend the season

They basically have to go 8-2 to have a chance. They choked so hard against HOU/TOR when it matterd most. smdh

>LIND

just the teams luck

bob dutton said that the M's are going to retain either Seff Smiff or Aoki for next year. God i really hope it's The Professional

orioles losing

tigers winning...by a lot

steve did nothing wrong

Paxton just smiled, guys. holy shit

he's just trying to have fun out there

we gettin Cozart next year lads. Hopefully they can help Marte out next year in Tacoma

Is it bad if I want the M's to re-sign Aoki?

He's been raking sine the all star break and its not like we have any better options at lead off.

where did you hear that?

Ichiro

They're going to try Gamel at lead-off next spring

it's true, he's been quite good recently

I'm good with either decision

.326 .371 .475 since he came back from AAA in July

swag

>hear about how Brad Miller and Trumbo turned into superstars
>Brad is literally the same player, just more home runs
>Trumbo literally the same player, just more home runs
I was thinking they were like 4 win type of guys or something

WOO

Well thats nice. I just haven't seen any cozart to mariners news whenever I google around so I missed that.

Fucking ROBBED, goddamn

>DAVE FUCKING SIMS

Great call by Sims haha

There was rumors long time ago. I doubt they want to give up anything for him tho. They're in win now, but Jerry is also in rebuild mode in the shadows desu. I mean like Felix and Cruz will be done in a few years as far as their contracts. All left is Cano which isn't too bad desu.

I was hollerin because I thought he missed it...

>Those plans are still evolving, but discussions with various club officials privately point to several likely steps:
>The Mariners will pick up their $7 million option on outfielder Seth Smith even if outfielder Nori Aoki triggers a $5 million player option for next season by reaching 480 plate appearances.
>Club officials concede next year’s roster is unlikely to contain both Smith and Aoki.
>The Mariners want to retain veteran outfielder Franklin Gutierrez, a pending free agent who also shows increasingly limited defensive range, because he offers right-handed power that is tough to find elsewhere.
>A projected five-man outfielder corps starts with Leonys Martin as a fixture in center field. Retaining Gutierrez and either Smith or Aoki allows the Mariners to keep Ben Gamel and Guillermo Heredia (or someone else) on the roster.
>The Mariners want to give Dan Vogelbach, a left-handed hitter, an opportunity to become their full-time first baseman. So they are unlikely to make any effort to retain Adam Lind, a left-handed hitter who is eligible for free agency.
>The Mariners, as reported earlier this week, are likely to renew trade discussions with Cincinnati regarding shortstop Zack Cozart, who has one year remaining before reaching eligibility for free agency. The two sides had a loose deal in place prior to the the Aug. 1 non-waiver trade deadline that centered around the Reds acquiring left-handed pitching prospect Luiz Gohara. Final details couldn’t be completed prior to the deadline. Club officials still see current shortstop Ketel Marte as a long-term fit, but they seem to prefer a proven veteran next year to bolster the postseason chances for their aging core.

>Garry Seth Smith (born September 30, 1982), sometimes nicknamed "Dad," is an American professional baseball outfielder and designated hitter for the Seattle Mariners of Major League Baseball (MLB).

top lel

>dad

they should have come up with a more creative nickname

pax daddy

>tfw older than Dad and on Cred Forums

I know it should be a bad feel, but it aint, ftwtbh

>Smith was the backup quarterback to Eli Manning at the University of Mississippi. Coincidentally, Smith's Rockies teammate, Todd Helton, was the starting quarterback for the University of Tennessee until a knee injury resulted in Manning's older brother Peyton succeeding him. Furthermore, current Duke Head Football Coach David Cutcliffe was Helton's quarterback coach at Tennessee and Smith's head coach at Ole Miss

It's not creative but it's pretty funny.

Spotted: Seth Smith buckling his kids into the family mini van in the team parking lot. This is real. He does it all.

ZUNI GOT A HIT!

Z MANNNNN
He's almost as good as Sucre lel

good going, zunino

...

I saw MARINERS CATCHER FIRED FOR RACIST TWEETS and could only think: Pls no zunino.

Sorry bout your bad luck, Clev, I agree and all but you shoulda known better

Also, Clev"a "I'm only sorry you were offended" apology was boss af

fortunately zunino was smart enough not to say anything

Zunino is the nicest guy ever. I just want to be his friend

load up the bases

hit it out of the park, lind

make em pay

>lind

Goddammit Lind

aw yeah this cf angle is some good shit you guys were right

fuck lind holy shit

I really hope we trade him for literally anyone during the offseason

figures

you asshole

I never want to see Lind in a Mariners uni ever again.

Paxton's curve from this angle is something else

He's a free agent

I love you James

HE GONE!!!

Srsly, I'd Damn near put my left nut on the bet we won't see that porky pig motherfucker next year wearing the teal

that 2nd out of the inning from James was funny. after he blew one right by his head Blowers says "he'll come right back with a curveball and put you away [batter immediately swings right over it] and there it is"

it would be a safe bet. He's had some good moments but he can be upgraded

DRUNK DRUGS OR HIGH
