draft day-edition
With the 11th overall pick in the 2016 #MLBDraft, the #Mariners select Kyle Lewis, OF, Mercer University.
Indians select 6-foot-6, 220-pound high school 1B/OF Will Benson from Atlanta.
Anyone know how good this Lewis pick is?
I read he was meant to be a top 3 pick

“What a steal for the Mariners,” said MLB draft analyst Jim Callis. “If I owned the No. 1 pick in this draft, I would have taken Lewis there. I think it’s the best combination of ceiling and floor in this draft. Even if he doesn’t stay in center field, that power profiles so well on the corner. I think the concerns about quality of competition he faced at Mercer are overblown, because what more could this guy do? He stood out in the Cape Cod League — a showcase for top college prospects — and he dominated the Southern Conference the last two years. I’m all in.”

It's baseball. Teams get hot, then go cold. No one is going to run off a 20+ game winning streak.
>>68257342
Except the Oakland As in 2002
Why do they keep letting Seager DH? He's able to play nearly every single game at 3B.
>>68257376
Yeah but that was 2002. If you could predict it, who has the best opportunity to go on a very long win streak?
>>68257342
but this is ice cold. you can't contend if you're not going to show up

Hey, as long as they play well in the division , they'll be fine.

yes love lazy fly balls great inning guys love it you're really grinding out there boy I sure am glad I root for you can't ask for anyone better I just can't get over how good you guys look at the plate boy oh boy it's exciting you really know how to keep me awake at 11 at night with your high octane offensive power yessir thank you for your service
>>68258122
It was very close but definitely out
>>68258419
>black athletic outfielder
Of course they'd compare him to Adam Jones. If he was left handed, I'd bet it'd be Griffey or something.
I just saw the M's pick. I am HYPED. Any guesses on how long until we see him with his skill level and experienc? I think if everything went great he could be a late callup in 2018 right?
>>68258419
i feel bad for east coasters who have to stay up past midnight to watch away games on the west coast
>>68258488
I'd guess 2018. College players are quicker
>>68258397
Should we be hype?
>>68258553
Sounds like another big lefty power hitter.
>>68258488
i'm assuming 2018, but I would be fine with 2019-20 if need be
he's 20 years old, so he's young enough to wait on if need be. I just want to make sure the FO takes its time with these players
I don't want to see another Zunino situation
>>68258578
Lord knows this team needs offense.

Bats: LThrows: RClass: HSDOB: 05/07/98Height: 6'3"Weight: 195
The last time the state of Pennsylvania had a hitter get drafted in the first round was back in 2007, when Devin Mesoraco was taken by the Reds. This year, there could be two high school bats selected in the opening round, Alex Kirilloff near Pittsburgh and Jones, a talented infielder outside of Philadelphia. Jones' senior year started slow as he tweaked his back and missed the beginning of the season. As he returned, he was getting a lot of looks as he was thought to be one of the better pure high school bats in the country. Jones has good bat speed and excellent raw power from the left side. An average runner who might have slowed down a tick as he's added weight to his lanky frame, Jones has good hands and actions for the infield, though most see a move from shortstop, his high school position, in the future. Some feel the 6-foot-4 Virginia commit will profile well at third. But while he throws in the low-90s off of the mound, his arm action has others thinking that perhaps he'd profile best as a big offensive-minded second baseman or perhaps a left fielder. There might be teams who feel Jones has a chance to stick at short, but even if he has to move, his bat and offensive upside should get him off the board at some point in the first round.
CANOOOO
Cruz please I believe
It'll be fun to see him at Everett at least. Hoping they sign him quickly. i'm hype for aquasox lads
I've got to get up early and frankly I've had enough. gg Ms
please win while I'm gone Tribe

Good job getting out of that jam, Josh
>>68258672
Not spooky. Just means hes a devout Catholic boy.
>>68258685
>a devout Catholic boy.
Even spookier
tfw Ichiro is going to get his 3000th hit in a Marlins uniform. How long do you think he keeps playing after that? Will he try to play next season?
>>68258699
Why not? He can still hit. Same goes for Big Papi.
Look at how long Poo-holes has stuck around on a .230 avg with 15 HRs
>>68258699
he can come back and replace aoki next season. he's outhitting him anyways.
>>68258535
>>68258585
I'm extremely excited for our young players (25 or under) again. I know it's a longshot, but Zunino should be here again, hopefully for good.
Alex Jackson
Kyle Lewis
Tyler O'Neill
Shawn O'Malley
Ketel Marte
Edwin Diaz
Taijuan Walker
>>68258699
probably not
but hey, if he can still play at this high a level at 42, he may just say fuck it and play another season
>>68258699
Also, while it sucks that he'll get to 3,000 with some shit team, he's still going into Cooperstown as a Mariner.
It's raining like this in June. I hope the sun never comes back.
>70 pitches
>10 outs
>no runs
How is this possible
>>68258810
we suck
>>68258772
Alex Jackson has been a disappointment so far
in 19 games in Clinton this season he's hitting .129/.235/.329
hopefully he picks it up a little, he's still only 20 years old.
@aaronmgoldsmith 7h7 hours ago
Per @brooksbaseball, T. Walker threw a career-high 84 fastballs last night – 75% strikes. #Indians swung at 48 of them, never got a hit.
lol
>>68258772
zunino is too good behind the plate not to make it in some form. Like the molinas just stuck around forever for defense it seems like.
what's even the point anymore
>>68258893
Good, maybe he'll finally realize that his value is as a power pitcher.
Felix only throws junk because he has to, kid. Get up there and throw fireballs before your arm starts to give out too.
>>68258878
Yeah, I've been closely monitoring him. A slow start is forgivable, but I believe he could be the face of this franchise.
>>68258903
I agree. I really miss his pitch framing. I think all the pitchers do, based off of the returning starters performance this year.
DIAZ TONIGHT
>>68258919
this 1-0 deficit literally feels like 10-0
>>68258943
it would be great if he could turn it around
the M's might have some serious depth at OF in the future
Lewis, O'Neill, and Jackson should all be OF of the future.
then we got guys like O'Malley and BOOOOOOG as well
the future might be bright.
>>68259062
i forgot about BOOOOOG.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOG
>>68259016
I can't even feel good about Tomlin keeping at 1 run cause this offense is nonexistent right now.
>>68259062
>iwanttobelieve.jpg
Who are we kidding, though. They're Mariners prospects. We'll trade them during a competitive season and they'll go rake elsewhere.
Fucking Adam Jones. I'll always be mad about that.

please for the love of God do something
cannot believe how bad Gimenez is
>>68259100
I legitimately had to turn off the draft after Harold starting comparing Lewis to Jones and they began showing Jones highlights as a Mariner
it hurt too much

If not for any other reason than for Manning and Underwood to stop talking about the weather, the Safeco tarp, and now the Mariner moose.
>>68259154
There's a reason why he should only be a backup.
sure hope we pick it up in Analslime
>>68259100
That hasn't happened since Bavasi. Even Jack didn't do that to save his job.

he battled well

What a shit start.
Good thing the Indians haven't been able to hit since the first game of the series.
still a loooong way to go
i have a feeling a lot more runs will be scored
They should just sign me I'll lean into every pitch I don't care just freakin score you bums

as an m's fan i am completely content with only giving up 1 run so far
shouldn't have sent Lindor!
Haha, welp at least tied it
>dat Lindor smile
Damn.
Alright M's. We need some late inning magic.
You know, giving up only one run out of that shitshow ain't so bad.
im okay with that i guess. at least he made that catch at home this time
>>68259584
agreed, that could've (and probably should have) been a lot worse
>tfw both team's fans are somewhat content with how that inning ended
give salty Sardinas dinger pls
I think all the games this series were well under 3 hours but it's been 2 so far tonight and only the 5th
can't wait till Zmac comes in in a tie game boy I love Francona's genius when it comes to the bullpen
holy shit that Dave Valle story is metal as fuck

haven't said that in too long

>>68259755
Meh, either he or O'Malley is getting sent down tomorrow.
Should there be a limit on the number of pick off throws a pitcher can make in an inning?
>>68259812
I think it'll be O'Malley since he's the OF alternate.
>>68259821
no
um I think we're allowed to score again guys last I checked you're not limited to 1 run okay
>>68259893
Read the rules dingus
if he gives up a dinger here I will be angry
>late night games
REEEEEEEEEE. go M's
