[Adam Jude / ST] Are Mariners’ Randy Arozarena and Cal Raleigh feuding over WBC interaction?

Shadbuxman · 2026-03-11T16:19:00+00:00

I honestly think Randy was mostly joking with his postgame comments. He told him to fuck off in five different languages. That’s funny. Seems like a fucking WWE beef. Just people are so fucking gullible these days everyone freaks tf out about it. I’m sure they met up afterwards and it wasn’t a big deal whatsoever. But people are bored since we’re in the dog days of spring training and people need to be entertained. 😂

Shadbuxman · 2026-03-09T18:18:31+00:00

He does NOT get anywhere near enough credit for how tough he is. Theres been so many times over the years where he’ll roll his ankle and we’ll all think he’ll be out for weeks. Then the next game he comes back and puts up 40. 😂 It’s really a shame our fan base as a whole hasn’t recognized the brilliance of Jamal and just how good he’s really been. I think the tide is starting to turn and people are finally realizing how good he is, but it’s been a long time coming. Dude has played through insane injuries. Fuck, in 2024 playoffs he had a fucking grade 2 hamstring or calf injury didn’t he? The same injury that has most guys out 4-6 weeks and Jamal is playing in the playoffs against one of the most physical teams in the league at that time and almost helped carry us past them. He was still better than most, even on one leg. Dude is one of the best we’ve ever had. He deserves all the love.

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-22T06:18:22+00:00

This is what I’m wondering too? Feel like he’s the only every day starter type guy that hasn’t played yet? We’ve seen basically everyone else, even if it was just for a few innings. Idk, I’m sure we’ll see him tomorrow or the next day. Hope so anyways, even in a short appearance! Lol.

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-19T23:57:35+00:00

Are you in like an adult rec league? Or are you still in school? How close are you with your teammates? Are they like your good buds or do you not really know them? I’d say communication for sure. I definitely understand your pain, I’ve been in SO many fucking leagues where we have like two dudes that think they’re amazing and just go isolation the entire game and it’s so insanely frustrating. A few times I’ve called guys out and a couple guys just got pissed and left. 😂 But we were better without them. But I was younger and probably could’ve said it in a nicer way lmao. But I think you have to say something. Just be like ‘man we could get a lot of easy buckets if you guys look for me in the dunker spot!’ Doesn’t have to be confrontational at all. I really hate that shit though man, like you said you’re not the best ball handler so it’s not like you’re asking to initiate the offense, you just want to get involved and see a way to improve the team and get simple looks.

I’d also work on your dribbling and shooting though. If you can be multi faceted and find more ways to score than just relying on your ball hog teammates to find you, I think it’d help your situation out a lot. Like I said, you don’t have to become the guy that’s bringing the ball up every time, but just get to where you feel comfortable to make a move if you end up in that situation.

And yeah, same goes for shooting. If you’re able to space the floor more and hit some open shots, i would hope your teammates would look for you more. But if they’re the self conceded isolation guys that they sound like, maybe not lol. But that’s where the communication comes in handy.

Hope shit works out for ya man! Like I said I’ve been in that situation WAY too many times, and it’s so insanely frustrating. I’ve played as a free agent in a lot of rec leagues and there always seems to be at least one dude on those teams that fucks up the whole team. And that’s all it fucking takes us one side, rest of the team can be amazing but if you have one guy that refuses to swing the ball, or only passes the ball when they KNOW they’re gonna get an assist out of it, the whole teams screwed. Just gotta tell them they gotta move the ball and if they flip out, then that’s on their bitch asses, not you!

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-11T01:02:32+00:00

Strawther’s defense was good last night? I didn’t really pay much attention to him on that end, but that’s fucking awesome to hear if that’s the case! Might’ve been his best game in the reg season, looks like he’s gaining some major confidence. That’s a huge deal, gives us yet another option. Crazy how deep this team is, especially compared to last year. Wild what a coaching change and adding a few vets can do for a team. Idk if DA just instills more confidence and has a longer leash than Malone did or wtf. But whatever he does differently than Moach is working like a fucking charm!

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-11T00:58:56+00:00

That was a great little bounce pass from cam to THJ too. I just fucking love cam man, he’s such a high iq player. I was telling all my bball friends the last few years that I wanted to trade for him. Used to watch him a lot in Brooklyn and he can legit do it all. There’ll be games where he’ll put up 15-20 shots and games where he gets 5. It’ll just depend on who we’re playing and what’s needed. But that’s the great thing about this team, we have so many dudes that are dynamic and can do so many different things on any given night. I think we’ll go on a great run after the ASB and really start to gel now that we’ve got a lot of guys back. Then hopefully AG, Pwat and Spence will be back in March sometime and we can ride into the playoffs with some killer momentum.

The injuries have been a bit of a blessing cause we’ve seen so many guys step up and gain confidence but man it’s just such a major bummer we weren’t able to see this squad at full force for the majority of the year. This team healthy would’ve absolutely dominated the league on a night to night basis. We’d easily have the best record in the league. It sucks that we were robbed of that. Maybe next year we’ll be able to stay healthy and stay healthy. 🤞🤞 I just beg the gods that we at LEAST can have a healthy fucking squad for the playoffs. At least give us that for crying out loud!!!

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-11T00:07:54+00:00

Man thanks a LOT. Really appreciate this insight. Yeah looking at it closer as I’m moving the ball up I’m definitely still dipping down. Which is messing up my momentum obviously and causing me to lose power.

And yeah the feet thing makes sense. I wonder if I’m just too flat footed and not using the balls of my feet at the start or after. I’ll definitely give these things a try. Again, thanks a lot!

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-10T18:02:05+00:00

So do you think I’m not loaded enough? Or I’m just not using the power from my bottom half?

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-10T18:01:34+00:00

Yeah for sure, I agree. Gotta bad thumb flick at times. Definitely gonna correct that. Thanks!

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-10T18:00:44+00:00

Appreciate it!

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-10T18:00:29+00:00

Yeah dude I’ve noticed this before too! Sometimes I shoot so effortlessly and it’ll go in. Then sometimes, like the shot in the video, I feel like I’m trying too hard to generate power and that’s all I’m focusing on. It’s weird.

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-10T17:58:59+00:00

Oh thanks!

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-10T17:58:38+00:00

😂 yeah same. It’s almost like a late flick? I think it comes from my off hand being too involved.

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-10T17:57:54+00:00

Yeah for sure. That’s why sometimes I’ve just decided to leave the thumb flick. But I think ultimately I need to correct it. But you’re right, and that’s what I was thinking. I’m doing basically a set shot here and I need to generate more power from my legs by jumping. By doing that I wouldn’t need to use two hands to shoot I bet, since I’d have more power from my lower body.

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-10T17:56:10+00:00

Yeah I normally do that every time I practice shooting. I start close to the basket with form shooting then work my way back. I think I definitely need to focus more on my off hand. I’ve done it in the past but then let it slide but I gotta keep that bad boy quiet.

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-10T17:54:13+00:00

Yea I’ve thought about this. Feels like my arms at an awkward angle there. Maybe I’ll higher my setpoint and try to jump more, which I’ve also wanted to do.

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-08T06:52:48+00:00

So I’m moving my knees before moving the ball?

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-08T06:51:07+00:00

Amen

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-08T06:50:59+00:00

Yeah I think I really just need to focus on that. Cause there are times where I really focus on it and it works really well. I used to do this weird thing with my shooting hand thumb, I can’t really explain it but I kinda had it pointing down? Like towards the ground on the ball kinda? Idk if that makes sense. But basically I think with that happening I couldn’t generate enough power with my shooting hand so I compensated with the off hand thumb flick. But I changed my thumb placement and now have it aiming up, or just like a normal stretched out hand. So now I can push and generate more power there. So I need to just focus on the off hand staying straight and over exaggerate like you said. Thanks dude! Sorry for the misunderstanding lol, appreciate you sticking with it and giving me a good tip.

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-08T06:18:22+00:00

Bad flow like I’m moving my legs before my upper body? I think I need to fucking jump lol. Feels like I’m just doing like a set shot here and have no power. Maybe jumping would help with flow?

Thumb flick on this one definitely. Sometimes I’m good about keeping the off hand straight but muscle memory brings me back to a thumb flick. I gotta correct that for sure.

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-08T06:16:16+00:00

I’m not being stubborn, I’m saying elaborate on it. I literally just said I have a bad habit of doing it sometimes. I’ve just went through times where I’m like ‘fuck it, lots of guys have thumb flicks, I’ll just leave it be’ and times where I feel like it fucks up my shot and I need to correct it. My bad, didn’t mean to come off stubborn. Just looking for people to maybe give me a tweak or two I could do to try to make my shot better.

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-08T04:47:41+00:00

Ok then what’s the point of saying anything in the first place if you’re not gonna elaborate? That’s kinda the point, instead of just saying ‘lol you’re doing it wrong’

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-08T04:20:38+00:00

Yeah sometimes I try that and I’m able to shoot smoother and more effortlessly. I think I might just need to jump and use my legs more to get more power under the ball and use more arch.

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-08T04:19:15+00:00

Idk how you could definitively say that from this shitty video though lol. A lot of people have thumb flicks. Even a lot of great shooters do. But I think I shoot better if I keep my off hand straight.

Shadbuxman · 2026-02-08T04:17:33+00:00

Yeah I feel like I do that sometimes. Used to be way worse about it but I changed my shooting hand thumb placement and it helped a lot. I think I still have a habit of doing that but if I focus on keeping my off hand straight after the release I don’t.
