they should have kept Aoki, but what’s done is done

Bahahaha!

I know that O’Neil is struggling right now, but it’s time to call him up right now. Out of all the guys we could call up he’s the only one that could possibly put up similar numbers to Haniger and he is also a good defensive right fielder. Haniger has been the one guy hitting good all year and to replace him with someone who can’t really hit at all in Gamel will only make matters worst for the M’s.
SegiFeeesh
O’Neil need seasoning at AAA, too early to call him up. We’ve see what early promotions have done to can’t miss prospects like Ackley
chesteraarthur
Dustin Ackley was not an early promotion. He was drafted as an advanced college hitter and he had 568 AAA plate appearances before being called up.
24TheKid
Well we could keep him in AAA all year and keep on losing if you want. And there’s nothing else for O’Neil to improve on, he’s not going to be a player that hits for average like we expected Zunino to. All we need from O’Neil is some decent power and good defense for about a month. We are not making him our permanent starting catcher.

We do not need to ruin another player like Jack Z and company ruined Zunino.
24TheKid
Stop looking only in the last 5-10 years. Players get to the MLB with way less at bats than O’Neil already has. The Mariners diddnt ruin Griffey after only giving him 500 minor league at bats. The Nationals diddnt ruin Harper by only giving him 600. And the Cubs diddnt ruin Schwarber by only giving him 600. Now how many at bats does O’Neil have? Nearly 1500. Maybe Zunino was never meant to be anything more than a defense only catcher. We gave him more time in AAA and can you tell me how well he’s doing so far this season?

“O’Neil is struggling, so let’s call him up”
That makes a lot of sense. Not.
kvnmaret
Let’s just blame it all on Jacky Z
24TheKid
You can also blame the guy before him.
lovableschmuck
It doesn’t matter how many hitters they cycle up if the pitching can’t do the job.Felix is looking more and more past his prime. Same for Iwakuma.And the bullpen is a joke.Heston and Marshall were pathetic tonight.When are they going to give some other guys in their farm system,such as Gaviglio, a chance ? They certainly can’t be any worse than the slop relievers they have now.

Managing was more pathetic than their performance imo. What’s the point of an 8 man pen if you’re going to let one guy blow the game with 8 base runners in 1 inning? Ms had RISP all throughout the game and would have had a chance if their manager had a brain.
prf999
It’s not pathetic, we needed some pitchers to eat some innings. If we’re already getting our butt kicked, there’s absolutely no reason to go through the entire pen.
24TheKid
It’s time to rebuild, trade Cruz, Seager, Paxton, Segura, and if anyone is crazy enough to take on Cano or Felix you trade them too. If we don’t rebuild the farm, we will be very bad for another 16 years.
algionfriddo
WAAAAAY too early to panic.
But it’s not panic if this what the M’s really are. They do need to push for a total rebuild. They can put it off all they want but reality is a brutal master. This will really test Dipoto. The farm looks thin and the ML roster is old. The M’s look like crap… time to flush.
24TheKid
No it’s not way too early. We have 1 starting pitcher, and our best player so far just got hurt. Tell me how many teams make the playoffs with only 1 pitcher with an ERA below 4.5? We are already 5 games under and the Astros are off to a hot start so it’s going to be very tough to climb out of this.
gomariners2017
When Felix comes back the Mariners need to make him the closer. It worked when the Braves made Smoltz the closer. It prolonged his career and it might save Felix career. His days as a good starter are over. It’s painful watching him now and he’s doing the Mariners no good. Making him the closer will allow him to build his velocity back up and save his arm.
24TheKid
And then what do we do with Diaz?
Buddy “Bud” Hull
I’m all for Gamel or Powell, but whatever. I’ll just be bumming on Haniger’s injury throughout the duaration of this timeframe regardless.
24TheKid
Hmm, I wonder if the Red Sox will give us another list of 7 top prospects and let us pick 5 again? Even if they did, I bet we’d still keep him.
Austin0723
Who on that team is worth 5 of their top prospects?
chesteraarthur
Isn’t this the story from when the red sox tried to trade for Felix?
ck420
whats the difference between a mosquito and the mariners, mosquito stops sucking!
24TheKid
I used to get pissed at jokes like that and argue them non stop, but at this point I have nothing left to argue with.
ReverieDays
So far, this season has gone exactly how I imagined for Seattle.
Phil253
This has escalated quickly into an argument over who knows the least about baseball. Each of ya’ll are winners. Haniger going out is a huge blow for sure. The pitching staff is in trouble too. But really with a core of Hernandez, Cano, Cruz, and Seager you’d be hard pressed to find a GM that wasn’t in “win now mode.” And as an actual fan of this team I’ll buy into a GM who wants to win. Long have I suffered and by some of your writing skills I’d say I’m your senior. Dipoto inherited a mess of an organization and has made due with the budget that he has and made some fairly decent trades. The m’s are not as old as you think they are. The time is ticking on this roster and we’ve got until next season to panic and hit the reset button. For now I’ll be patient because that’s what baseball is patience. So stop freaking out and maybe pick up a book about the sport.
prf999
Well said, all this hurts but no need to make rash decisions.

Way too early to panic and blow up this team yet. So far a lot of things have gone wrong, that happens. Injuries happen. There is still 141 games to play. Anything can and often does happen in baseball. They’re digging a deep hole for themselves and if they can’t turn it around they could be out of it by the end of May I think the disappointment You’re hearing from Seattle fans is primarily because the fans over estimated this team. They want a winner. I do,too. Let’s wait before blowing this team up and see what they can do.
stanthefan
Not an M’s fan per say, but I hate to hear this. King Felix has been a joy to watch. Hopefully with some well-needed rest on that arm, he’ll be back and pitching with his full arsenal.
Jonesyy
This is a big year for the M’s with some aging veterans and not great minor league depth so hopefully these injuries aren’t too severe.
