Russell better be the real deal right away, I'm spending quite a bit of FAAB to acquire him.

Wow, Zunino is the worst hitter I've ever seen. He is completely hopeless. If it weren't for his elite level defense, he'd be out of baseball. I'll be shocked if he hits .175 this season. Sure he'll hit 20 HR's but they wil all be mistake pitches, and he'll K 250 times. He is incapable of hitting good pitches.

Is he literally the worst hitter you've ever seen? Like out of all the ballplayers, he's the worst?

Also, when Addison Russell steps into the batter's box tomorrow, Bryce Harper will no longer be the youngest player in the Majors. Russell was born 4 1/2 months AFTER A-Roid signed his first contract in Seattle.

I get the impression he hasn't actually seen a lot of baseball played.

Are you sure? I mean, he did say that the Mariners trading Adam Jones was the worst trade since Babe Ruth to the Yankees.

Only someone who's seen a lot of baseball can make a judgement that concise.

I missed that one. Just remember if a rookie pitcher, after two starts, doesn't look like Felix or Kershaw he's a bust. It'll save you a lot of analyzing.

I get the impression you don't know what the hell you're talking about. Is Zunino literally the worst hitter ever, no. But I said that after 2 3 pitch strikeouts, one of which with 1 out and bases loaded. Also, I am convinced Jones to the O's is one of the 5 worst trades ever. Made by a complete basket case of a GM. I tend to say **** in the heat of the moment, I also still have hopes for Walker, but if he throws another clunker that will change.

Herrera suspended 5 games and fined. Ventura only fined.

Re: 4/20 - 5/3 Game Discussion Thread

Herrera should have got 10 games. Not only for throwing 100 mph at a player's head, but his antics after the fact.

MLB missed a chance to send a message here.

5 seems fine. The pitch wasnt at his head. Shoulders at best. He didnt hit him. And you cant prove what he meant by the gesture. Oh and he is appealing.

See, that actually makes sense when you explain it out like that. Most of the time you're talking in absolutes and it's impossible to carry a conversation with somebody who does that. There's no room for discussion when something always sucks and is the worst ever. You've actually got a good team in Seattle this year and you don't realise that. Step down, relax a bit, and give your team some good vibes instead of constantly bashing them. This is baseball, the first two weeks of the season isn't the end all be all absolute way it's gonna be all year. There's 162 games a year, not 13.

I was thinking 7, probably reduced to 5 after an appeal. If he gets it appealed down to 3 thats just wrong. I'm not going to get into the argument of intent and proof about the pointing to his head. We are all going to see it our way through our colored glasses. We know Kazmir hitting Cain wasn't intentional right? If it was intentional, citing he had pinpoint control all game, then why would he hit somebody on the foot of all places on purpose. It should have been over but Herrera decided it wasnt.

Tex just went the other way, down the line for a double. Can't remember the last time he went the other way.

Stanton is a freak of nature. Makes weak contact on the end of the bat and the ball goes 400+ feet.
