Why in the gently caress would all that come out in a speech to the Rotary Club? Do I just have no idea what the gently caress the Rotary Club is??

UZR IS BULLSHIT posted:Why in the gently caress would all that come out in a speech to the Rotary Club? Do I just have no idea what the gently caress the Rotary Club is?? those meetings are done in person in non-plague times and not recorded usually. also rotary clubs tend to have lots of well-to-do folks in them, especially in a place like bellevue. probably a favor to some private box owners.

Service time manipulation is so toxic to the player-team relationship. Wish there was some way to disincentivize it in the next CBA. Also I forgot that the Mariners gave their first baseman a Scott Kingery type deal. Looks like he didn't hit much last year. I dislike deals like that because what if a guy struggles and needs to go down to the minors to work on stuff?

Good job having a team exec openly admit to loving over the players right before the CBA is about to expire

Kevin Mather was accused of sexual harassment by several former employees, then there was that fiasco with Dr. Lorena Martin, and now this. Dude is loving toxic and needs to go. I don't care if he's a minority owner, give that ownership to Russell Wilson or something.

is mather's statement that the president of the team's views don't represent the organization stupider than Luhnow claiming to have no knowledge of the sign stealing from the astros?

Counterpoint: If the player is good, then you get him for dirt cheap for a while Owners love it

OK so maybe this won’t be funny to you guys, but for some reason it makes me laugh to beat the band. Someone on twitter made a bot that does the Thom Brennaman “drive” bit, you have to @ it and use one of three keywords to get it to post. Anyway, sometimes people see the bot post and think it’s a real person, and this kind of poo poo results (thread): https://twitter.com/chrisfetterley/status/1363734654130524161?s=21 e: I can’t link it correctly but if you click on Chris Fetterley’s reply you can see the thread MrMojok fucked around with this message at 09:44 on Feb 22, 2021 |

I don't know how I can continue to support the Mariners if Mather is kept on. What would be the point?

It doesn't even matter if his "views" "represent" anything because this isn't about his views.

shirts and skins posted:If Stanton allowed this apology to go out then it means he probably didn't ask Mather to resign, which means these views drat well do represent those of the organization. The cynic in me says that everything he said was already known and is the dominant viewpoint among MLB owners. With the exception of his animus towards Kuma and Julio, I guess, but I just assume every middle-aged rich person is racist. Same with the misogynism he settled his way out of: every person in that world is at least as racist/misogynistic/hateful as the next. Sports fandom is in spite of ownership, and I've made it through much worse seasons than this is likely to be.

Passan did not loving miss in this column: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id...espectful-words quote:I wonder whether Julio Rodriguez feels comfortable and respected. He is 20 years old and one of the best prospects in baseball, a slugging right fielder from the Dominican Republic. When asked about him, Mather said: "He is loud, his English is not tremendous." Two years ago, the Mariners thought enough of Rodriguez's English to post a video of him speaking in it on their YouTube channel. His English sounds pretty good, and I don't imagine it has worsened since. I'm assuming because Mather is a minority owner of the team, lawyers have to be involved to get his buyout which is what's taking awhile because the org has been absolutely silent today.

So now I'm really curious if Kelenic is on the opening day roster. It would be too obvious if they don't call him up until April right? Like surely they would lose that case.

Jarred Kelenic had 21 games in AA in 2019, obviously no games in 2020 (spent it on the split roster though), so it really wouldn't be out of the picture to have him spend time in AAA in normal circumstances. Alas, Mather has sort of screwed the pooch on this one!
