Ace Reese with and insane swing for his 1st pro HR. 4 of our 5 top hitting prospects are name Laz, Boston, Jonny and Ace. Sounds like a Boy Band. lol

Sounds to me like the next four hitters I'm going to watch strike out 200 plus times a year and giggle all the way to the bank. I wish I had your excitement about prospects. But I recall all this excitement about Kyle Lewis, who ended up much like Jose Cruz Jr. and is a lot like what Julio Rodriguez looks like and now? Cal is washed. Oh, don't get me started on guys like Kelenic, White, Emerson....the guy they traded away for Donovan. Sorry, I don't believe for one second this organization is going to do anything but ruin hitters.

Some is probably the approach this organization takes, but some of it is this stadium. It ruins them, and they end up changing their swings. These HRs you show videos of? At minor league ballparks? I bet half of them are Warning Track fly outs here, if they even reach the track! Add in that they will now be facing Major League pitching and not minor league guys?

I hope you are right, but I no longer believe that anyone is going to come through our system, get to the big club and live up to the hype that has been created. If you go back five years from now and read what was wrote about Julio? There is zero reason the guy with that much hype would have followed up two silver slugger seasons in 2022 and 2023 with the hot fucking trash we now have. Cal wouldn't turn into the second coming of Dave fucking Valle either. This organization is doomed. Name a prospect that has come up and lived up to the hype? As much as it sucks....the only two that were close were Julio and Cal, and their windows appear to be shut.

Or something that Hanna-Barbara would have came up with in the '70s, "The Mariners, rock band by day, mystery solvers at night", with their backup singers Tiffany and Bubbles, and their dog Ruff.

I told my wife who's a Spankee fan that we won last night 1-0. IDGAF. Rucker doesn't count.

Losers of 14 of last 20 games.
70% losers.
30% is the new 54%.

Love the new pic! Poor Wes Matthews.

I see we're batting Ward leadoff again. Maybe today will finally be the day he draws that base on balls.

...and loved Xavier McDaniels, one of my favorite Supersonics' players.

The pic has a subtle double meaning. Guess what that is?
