Tour dates!

[Lightnin' Luke @TheLightninLuke]

@RyanKawamoto Is this now? I live downtown and have been keeping an eye out but don’t see anything.

[Lightnin' Luke @TheLightninLuke]

@Jeff_Baumgarten @SeaUsStache Cabby’s hitting numbers won’t stay that good, but he’s a menace on the basepaths and a great fielder. I agree, wish we still had him.

But, on the flip side, there’s a whole slew of middle infielders in Tacoma with that same profile.

[Lightnin' Luke @TheLightninLuke]

@Jeff_Baumgarten @SeaUsStache Yeah I miss Cabby, the other three though, I’ll pass.

And who knows, if Luke Raley goes 3 for 4 today I’ll probably feel good about that trade too. Such a small sample size. People are overreacting.

[Lightnin' Luke @TheLightninLuke]

@SeaUsStache I miss Cabby. But the Fraley deal was years ago. I’ll pass on the other two. Last thing this team needs is 40 more strikeouts from 2 players.

@daveblev @tridenttrue He won the rookie of the year in ‘22 and then was 3rd in the MVP voting in ‘23. Calm down. It’s April.

[Lightnin' Luke @TheLightninLuke]

@jonfavs So it’s all Lovett‘s fault?

[Lightnin' Luke @TheLightninLuke]

@shannondrayer @ArchdukeCollins What he’s not getting is that Ty and Teo are both better hitters than Canha, and Kelenic will be back on September.

Why the hell would we trade a prospect for 20ish games of Mark Canha when he’s not as good as the players he’d be replacing?

[Lightnin' Luke @TheLightninLuke]

@BNightengale @Feinsand That‘s *Drew Gilbert, but thanks for the heart attack.

Sincerely,
Mariners Fans

Is King Felix a HOFer?

Please quote

[Lightnin' Luke @TheLightninLuke]

The top player is Sandy Kaufax, who only pitched 12 seasons. The bottom player is Felix Hernandez through his first 12 seasons.

I rest my case.

@jhyneman79 @RussellHartness @Mariners “Just hit the ball like the greatest hitter in Mariners’ history, MLB Hall of Famer Edgar Martinez, who has both a street, *and* the Designated Hitter of the Year award named after him,” is a HUGE ask, my friend.

[Lightnin' Luke @TheLightninLuke]

@RussellHartness @Mariners They are one game behind the ‘Stros. They swept the A’s just like they were supposed to. Everything is going to be ok.

[Lightnin' Luke @TheLightninLuke]

@shannondrayer @Scottvh24 @BrentStecker This explanation always seemed sus to me.

Like, c’mon, let’s be real: they wanted Haniger back to fill the part time DH role, but they didn’t get him, and then nobody was brought in to fill that role.

They knew they needed another bat. They just didn’t get one.
