2K24: Seattle Mariners

[TranaGreg]

Felix Hernandez demoted to the bullpen.

to anyone paying attention this isn't a surprise ... still, it's, well, surprising ...

[revo]

Dee Gordon has had a disastrous season: .291 OBP, 30 SB, 57 R in 515 ABs. North of 30 next year, I’m staying away.

[revo]

So far, this is the Mariners new lineup:

C - Omar Narvaez
1B - Ryon Healy
2B - Dee Gordon
3B - Kyle Seager (probably next out the door)
SS - JP Crawford
LF - Jay Bruce
CF - Mallex Smith
RF - Mitch Haniger
DH - Carlos Santana

All in all....it's not that terrible, lol.

well, they keep winning, but this is a rough day for a rookie in his first start. From the play-by-play:

Moore struck out swinging.
Moore grounded into double play.
Moore struck out swinging.
Moore struck out swinging.

and in the ninth, with a four run lead and two out:
Betts reaches on error by third baseman Moore, Vazquez scored, Betts to second, Benintendi to third.
Benintendi scored on error by third baseman Moore, Devers safe on error by third baseman Moore, Betts safe at third on error by third baseman Moore.
Martinez reaches on error by third baseman Moore, Betts scored, Devers to third.

That might be the worst day ever, except they won.

And by comparison, that day for Andrew Moore looks better than their bullpen!

Jay Bruce has 11 hits on the year. 8 of the are homers. Crazy. Anyone know who holds the record for hit to homer ratio in a season?

Joey Gallo in 2017 (41 hr/94 hits = 43.6 %) has to be among the leaders.

edit: Mark McGwire in 1998 (70 hr/152 hits = 46.05%) was even better. In fact McGwire had several seasons that were better than Gallo.

edit #2: Barry Bonds in 2001 (73 hr/156 hits = 46.79%) was best. I should have known.

What base level criteria are you using? Technically Keith McDonald's 2000 where he had 3 hits, all of them HR is the leader (tied with Jorge Sosa, Ed Sanicki, Clem Labine).

When someone asks for a season record for a batting ratio, i assume that they mean ratios among players who obtained enough plate appearances to qualify for the batting title. So, the answer to your question is 502 plate appearances. Yes, i know it was 478 PA before 1961. No, i didn't pull the numbers from a data base. I just looked up player seasons that i thought were likely to have a high hr/hit % and did the math. So, there could still be a player with a better ratio that i missed.

Seems like you missed the smiley, my post was primarily in jest!

I use my own database, makes it easy to look up any stat, any time.

Was going to say... Chris Davis 2019?

Omar's Coming......onto the Top 5 fantasy catchers list! He's been quite the find so far both for the M's and for fantasy players, who may have landed him for a $1 FAAB bid.

One guy in my league had to bail early so ended up with 4 Cs after the auction. I bid $1 and dropped Jansen for him. One of my few good moves thus far.

I traded my $1 Omar this off season for $40 Gerrit Cole in my AL only 12 team.

Mallex Smith demoted to AAA.
