AJC Indians Will Be Flexen Disemboweled With the Mariner Trident game thread

[D-train]

Let’s see how many game threads I make for the Detroit series next week. All of them 3:10am.

So, m.o.m. , what's your story? We are glad you joined in and are here.
How did you discover us or were you already familiar with this quirky, anal and erudite Mariner forum?
Where in the UK are you? I have visited the UK once when my 29 year old son was 3. We, son Andrew, wife and I had many adventures while there.
In the town of Bath, a group of old men (now I'm probably "that" old man) invited me to play, and taught me how, lawn bowling. I was a The Natural!!!

And you?

From Manchester so a good 200 miles from Bath. The climate here I understand to be similar to Seattle only we have more rain. Been to the US about 10 times, mostly Florida with the kids, but more recently me and the wife like a trip to Vegas but don’t let that put you off me. I’ve told her she’s got to see where Greys Anatomy is made next time the world lets us come over.

Coverage of baseball in the UK gave us just the World Series in the 90s, again in the early morning hours so I’ve always seen the business end of the season. As coverage has become better and the MLB app comes along it became time to pick a team. Our football (soccer) loyalties are handed down through generations as you would do with MLB but it’s not the case yet with US sports, other than I’m sure the Astros are universally hated.

If you remember Ichiro’s swan song in Tokyo against the As? It was shown live over here mid-morning and I watched the game. It went to extra innings and I got to thinking exactly what you said - this seems like an odd quirky team and now I watch as much as I can.

I’ve always thought phpBB forums which don’t take themselves too seriously but with a knowledge and passion are worth following but since there were none of them around I joined here instead

Right on brother! You must join us for Spring Training next year or pop over to visit me here in Boston. We have a well acquainted guest room right of the pool and are only 100 meters from the mighty Atlantic. If you have never been to Fenway park you must do it!

Did any of you expect this type of performance from Mitch after being out of the game for essentially 2 years? I sure didn't. Tied for AL lead with 11 home runs. Easily the leader for comeback player of the year. Couldn't be more thrilled for him.

Not this quickly. I always believed Haniger was going to be great but the injury stifled his glory.
If he has the year we all hope he does....they better tie him up and put a bow on it.

He obviously worked a ton in 2020 while he was away. You can see it in his frame and now in his ability at the plate. I don't see him throwing away any ABs. Even in 17 and 18 there were stretches when he just wasn't a beast at the plate. So far hes just been a beast all day every day.

I think this team has to build around Mitch just as it wants to Kelenic. Mitch and Kelenic and JRod. So lock him up. Offer a 5 yr deal. He doesn't have a ton of wear on him. His injury was a fluke. He works hard and is just a phenomenal hitter.

Total agree.... trading him is just kicking the can down the road......
