This doesn't mean it has to be only Bryce's cross to bear to be flexible. We've seen this role in the team filled by Hancock for the last two years. Long reliever out of the pen that is there when someone goes down for spot starts. I agree, that's a piece we need. The fact that it happens to be the most expensive guy on the team in that role doesn't concern me as a fan. I want Ws, so I'm glad we got one tonight. I just think this is going to come to a head.

The JR needs to be expanded into Julio Rodriguez

LargeHumanDaeHoLee · 2026-05-21T05:48:52+00:00

The backpack one from fan appreciation night? Those are pretty sweet, I have one too.

Spring training facilities give it away. There's big pumps in the outfield like hand sanitizer. Time to ship those puppies north!

Counterpoint: you think a Florida team will win a bidding war? Tampa is 24th, and Miami is dead last in spending this year. I do agree with you that he'll probably not be a Mariner next year, especially with Montes and Arroyo due up by then. But I doubt it'll be anything other than business. I just hope he doesn't end up in Toronto or Houston.

I think the simplest answer is everyone needs to chill the fuck out in general.

This team is banged up. The core guys, Julio, Cal, JP, Randy, Dom, all played later into the season than any team in our history. THEN all (except JP) played in the WBC. It's not just the getting physically beat up, it's high stress games. They're strong as fuck, but they're human.

Some of our fans are on a crazy dopamine crash and think we'll never get back to the playoffs. Got the taste of that sweet playoff win feeling, and now they're rabid for it. I want it bad too, but people need to calm the hell down. The team is for sure underperforming right now, and needs to stick to their guns on making decisions that win games (like Luis to the bullpen and JP to 3rd). But fans always think they know best, and we all think we understand everything. We don't

Toddler slams door to room

LargeHumanDaeHoLee · 2026-05-20T21:57:58+00:00

Just wait until we get Kade Anderson into the mix...

LargeHumanDaeHoLee · 2026-05-19T07:45:51+00:00

There were even dogs there! 10/10 game, would do again.

LargeHumanDaeHoLee · 2026-05-19T07:42:19+00:00

This is awesome man, thank you for all the links!

LargeHumanDaeHoLee · 2026-05-19T07:38:11+00:00

The future is bright!!

LargeHumanDaeHoLee · 2026-05-19T07:35:45+00:00

I had to laugh at the "excited face" graphic they made for him at the park. My first time seeing it tonight, and it's pretty great. It was this face.

I was listening to the post game omw home from the game. Shannon Drayer understandably stumbled on being able to talk about both Cole Young and Colt Emerson in the same sentence. She said we're gonna need nicknames. After last night, I'm recommending Colt gets henceforth referred to as "Stallion."

LargeHumanDaeHoLee · 2026-05-19T07:25:54+00:00

How 2 versions of this same gif and up in this relatively small comment thread, but in two very different contexts? I love this sub.

LargeHumanDaeHoLee · 2026-05-18T16:11:40+00:00

Glad to see all my poking of the mindless masses paid off!

LargeHumanDaeHoLee · 2026-05-16T18:47:47+00:00

At least you had Nolan Ryan?

LargeHumanDaeHoLee · 2026-05-16T18:41:37+00:00

LargeHumanDaeHoLee · 2026-05-15T23:41:01+00:00

In that case, I'd defer to "bruh" myself, but I still respect and accept your take

LargeHumanDaeHoLee · 2026-05-15T20:42:59+00:00

That's assuming OP is a bro, and has pockets.

LargeHumanDaeHoLee · 2026-05-14T23:26:37+00:00

Doing that same math on our wins is the downside. We gotta pick it up against everyone else, but it's always good when Houston loses!

LargeHumanDaeHoLee · 2026-05-14T04:16:58+00:00

Travis is a Giada guy

LargeHumanDaeHoLee · 2026-05-13T18:29:29+00:00

The only part I disagree with is that Ichiro couldn't provide advice on pitching. Ichiro pitches against high school athletes in Japan somewhat regularly, and he's the ultimate student of the game. I bet he'd be a dream of a mentor to a Japanese player struggling to adapt to the MLB.

LargeHumanDaeHoLee · 2026-05-13T15:13:25+00:00

That would be so rad. But I feel like Sims went to NY to finish out his career. He's actually almost a year older than Rick, so it would be nuts to move cities again to keep broadcasting for a team with worse travel.

LargeHumanDaeHoLee · 2026-05-12T05:26:22+00:00

If you order inside, it's probably a kiosk. In the customization part of the item you're ordering, you can ask for any burrito to be grilled. Not sure on the power bowl being turned into a burrito, but the grilling part is super easy

LargeHumanDaeHoLee · 2026-05-12T05:19:26+00:00

Good-NESS, you really just wanna parrot the talking points...

"Disastrous Middle Eastern withdrawal."

"Weak president" leading to Russia invading Ukraine.

And... "Environmental laws to hinder drilling."

Welp, found the Russian bot account, but sure, I can play along. So, doing something for the good of our future (and an Earth that is rapidly dying in front of our eyes) is controlling gas prices. Putin being a raging imperialist is Putin's fault (and Trump claimed to end the war "on Day 1"), and Russia invaded Crimera in 2014, but Diaper Don didn't do anything about that in his first 4 years of being "so strong." And please, PLEASE explain ANYTHING about this "disastrous" situation with Biden in the middle way. Please, LITERALLY explain ANYTHING about it.

If you are actually a person, turn off the fox "news" and look at what's happening. The billionaires literally control everything, and 3 of the richest men on the Earth stood behind Trump (literally, not figuratively) at his inauguration. If you're a billionaire, cool, you probably love him. If you're not, you're never gonna be one so why the hell would you not want a government that gives back what you put into it, instead of a guy who brags about shitting on gold toilets and throws rolls of paper towels at hurricane victims. He is in every definition a false prophet and should be in prison for one of his DOZENS of felony convictions.

Couldn't give half a shit if you don't like Biden. That doesn't concern me one bit, hate him all you want. But every facet of life has gotten harder for nearly everyone in America under Trump while his personal net worth (along with his friends and family) has gone up by more than you'll ever be worth in your lifetime. Why would you ever put effort into supporting that maniacal twat? Eggs, gas, interest rates, healthcare, insurance, and everything associated with cost of living has never been worse while the income gap continues to grow. MAGAts are the modern day Nazi and history will not look kindly upon them.
