Have met many folks on here who have become real-life or text friends. If you want to exchange emails or texts or typewritten letter, feel free to DM. Will keep this thing on for a few days or whatever.

I just can’t with the Houston comparisons, guys. That young core was squarely *not* the Mariners young core. I love our players, but Houston had 2x+ this core. That just isn’t this. We have a nice cluster of young players. It’s fun! They had an AIR CRAFT CARRIER.

“To the whiteboard!” [with enthusiasm]

I’m sorry. You spent the Winter *Meet*ings not meeting with anyone but whiteboarding?

1) Maybe whiteboard ahead and meet during
2) This is a completely different but same level of self-own as Russell telling media about high knees on the plane

I am excited for the Reynolds trade. I really am.

(I completely understand why he’s gone, and it was fine to do it, etc etc. But the more it looks like a Wil Myers-y kind of offseason, the more there is a significant chance Jesse Winker is better in 2023 than any hitter we acquire. Again, I get it; don’t yell at me, internet.)

Again, again-again, a lot can happen (increasingly unlikely because other teams want players too), but it does start to feel like the Mariners will capitalize on a 21-year-old superstar and the best vibes and momentum in 20 seasons by
