1. Walt Davis Posted: September 26, 2022 at 01:20 AM (#6097924)They have a long way to go to catch the Braves, Dodgers, Rays, Cardinals and a few others.
OTOH, as a Red Sox fan, I can say without any doubt that I am utterly confused as to what they are doing in Boston.
- The Mariners seem like they've got a good thing going, and they bought out four years of FA with this deal - you don't see that too often.
- Castillo has bounced around a lot as a minor leaguer, and there were probably a lot of time where he wondered how and where he was going to land in the bigs. And now, at 29 years old, he, his kids, his parents, his grandkids, etc., are set for life. I can only imagine what a feeling it must be the morning after you sign a contract like that. Good for him.
Apparently the contract also stipulates that if Castillo undergoes TJS the Mariners get an extra year for $5 million. You’d think that more contracts would include these kinds of protection for the team.
They have a top bullpen. Castillo, Ray, Gilbert, Kirby feels like a top rotation for years into the future.
Building that offense beyond Julio, France, Suarez, Raleigh could be worth a round in the playoffs every year.
i don't think he's hit a homerun since i was in high school.
If the Mariners and Orioles had switched divisions what impact would that have had on their records? Seattle would have played the AL East 76 times (.485 winning % this season), and Baltimore would have had just as many games against the AL West (.600 winning % including taking the season series against both the Astros and Mariners). It's somewhere between difficult and impossible to compare two teams in different divisions when they play such different schedules. Hopefully next year's more balanced schedule will even things out.
I used to run into him at the dog park. He was nice enough. Awkward, but so was I.
And then you can just look at personnel. The Os are getting mediocrity at 1B and LF, replacemet level at 2B and traded away Mancini and the bench has been pretty useless. Their rotation has used significant innings from guys with K-rates of 6.6, 6.4 and 5.3 that don't bode well for the future. They are playing very good defense. The Ms aren't exciting either but their guys have a slightly better track record. Mainly their rotation looks better than the Os.
But sure, nobody's so accurate as to really be able to put confidence in a guesstimate of 2-3 wins.
Let's also not overstate the unbalancedness of the schedule. The Os have played 66 in their division and 86 outside of it. They've played 66 against the East and the Ms have played 33 (some against the Os of course). The Os are 30-36, the Ms 16-17. My quick crude estimate puts the ALW Os at ... 83-84 wins, same as the Ms. Oddly, the ALE team that has really beat up on the ALW is the Red Sox (the Os have also done well).
