Here to vent about the worst baseball team in the MLB | Jonny Farmelo FC | I HATE PLATOONS

United States
Anyway, I said this on May 25th. Why is “Angry Mariners Fan” from 3,000 miles away able to identify the core problem with this team 126 days before the literal President of Baseball Operations can? Am I the only one who sees a fucking problem with this???
Replying to @RefuseToLosePod
We DO hate this team. It’s an unenjoyable watch. They do nothing correctly, and they don’t show any urgency on top of it. No fight, no heart. Just show up, throw the ball away, pop up, and go home. Like there’s an heir of arrogance about them like “it doesn’t matter because we’ll just turn it on when we need to.” And then on top of that, managerial decisions that actively punt away games that we SHOULD win. The piggyback last week, the piggyback today, the continued Refsnyder ABs, the lineups against lefties. I mean it’s endless. A very VERY unenjoyable product

They literally refused to interview candidates lmao you cannot make it up
Mariners passed up an opportunity to get an outside look from managerial candidates when Dan Wilson was hired. This time Dipoto will look outside the org saying "fresh thoughts" are needed. Also below, Dipoto lays out what "holding accountable" should look like in the clubhouse.

Two things: 1. He’s still smiling. 2. It’s so fucking funny how pretty much everyone in the entire organization has repeatedly pointed to lack of focus, lack of effort, etc., when us fans have been yelling about that since May. SINCE FUCKING MAY. And many of us were called stupid for even suggesting the players weren’t giving their all or weren’t focused. Why is it that the higher ups of this organization are just now saying what fans have been claiming for four months??

Funny thing, the MLB actually used to have a format where this was the case!
If you win your division you shouldn’t have to play in the Wild Card.

Hours later and I still can’t get over this. As bad as I think Jerry Dipoto is at his job, nothing compares to my pure feelings of disdain for his counterpart. I very genuinely do not like Justin Hollander.
That weasel fuck Justin Hollander couldn’t make it out there today, huh?

Hollander made a career of being Jerry Dipoto’s waterboy, and since getting the procedural promotion of “GM” and being let off the leash by his master to do interviews and provide injury updates every homestand, his heir of arrogance has taken off. You failed this season. You want to play the role of GM and make snide remarks towards the fanbase throughout the year? You want to boast about how good your roster is in front of the cameras and make jokes and smile when you’re under .500? Then go out there and face the music when you crash the entire organization into an iceberg and sink the ship. You fucking no-good puppet weasel.

This has to have been the biggest bullshit ass interview I’ve ever seen in my life, and I sat thru 86 Dan Wilson “tough ones.”

“I wake up, and I look in the mirror every day trying to figure out why this happened.” It’s really tough to say, though I would probably start with: 1. The fact that Weston Wilson and Leo Rivas were allowed 50+ games each. 2. Rob Refsnyder being rostered for 4+ months despite hitting .140 3. Settling for Taylor Ward as your lone offensive replacement even though you were the worst offense in baseball. Idk though. Pretty impossible to pinpoint tbh
Quick question: How is Jerry Dipoto still here? @mikevorel's column: st.news/3Ts1XtY

I am proud to announce that I am officially throwing my hat in the ring and entering the running to be the next Seattle Mariners manager, as I meet all needed qualifications.

7. I'm writing this knowing it won't matter, you will keep your job, you will continue your condescending speeches to the fanbase, you will continue to fail. I just hope we aren't stuck watching another 50 years of mediocre @mariners baseball. It's time for you to go, Jerry.

6. Unfortunately, your used car salesman act has worked on team ownership who continue to prove they aren't serious about winning. The Astros actually won the division, yet still fired their GM during this season, because they are serious.

5. You completely mis-handled our pitching situation and rolled out 6 starters and piggybacks because you are unable to have tough conversations, or do what was necessary. The White Sox put Castillo in the pen, just like you should have.

4. You take credit for moves or players that work out, but never the blame when it doesn't. The accountability issues with your team begin with you. Firing Dan was the right move, hiring him wasn't, and you failed massively in your choice, but also in the hiring process.

3. You have no concept how to build a lineup, you wasted three great years of starting pitching, you have been bailed out by historic individual seasons to hide the flaws of your roster construction. Every time your limitations are exposed, you blame budget, a manager or coach.

2. You continue to try to 'out-think the room' and treat everyone else as though they aren't smart enough to understand your brilliant moves. You are a used car salesman, you constantly try to sell your loyal fanbase a load of crap and tell them to thank you for it.

This Paul Silvi guy will either become a folk hero or another shill in the next few hours…
Our Paul Silvi is currently sitting down to interview Mariners majority owner and CEO John Stanton. Standby for news…
