Looking at opening day rosters of
@MLB
the black American baseball player is pretty much extinct! Sure there are guys in the minors that probably should be on major league teams but it doesn’t happen. 6% is terrible. There is a lot of talk about it but the trending is off.
It’s time for somebody to get in these umpires asses now!! It’s joke the way they are casually calling this 3rd strike on Julio .. making every damn pitcher in the league like they a veteran CY young candidate..this is not suppose to happen every freaking nite🤬
Imagine getting traded 5 days before spring training for the best player in the game at that time🤯…wasn’t no mental health coach for me🤷🏿♂️ nobody ask me how did I feel.. just had to find a way to get it done with how I was… forever grateful though🙏🏿

2-10-2000, Mariners traded Ken Griffey Jr to Reds for 4 players.
@_mcameron44
was the main get.
Unfortunately, Griffey started getting hurt with the Reds, curtailing his numbers. Hit 40 HR that 1st year, but wouldn't reach 500 ab again until 2007. Hit 210 HR, .876 OPS w/CIN(1/2)
What nite for my young fella.. doing it in the field and coming up big in the clutch for his first homer against my old team .. “Just play ball son “will always be my line to him ..
#proudmoment
💪🏿💪🏿
Seattle you were great yesterday once again like old times!! I’m glad these young men got a taste of what in store in the near future!! 💪🏿✊🏿
#Marinersbaseballlove
America got so many issues .. how do we continue to allow old men make laws on women rights .. it’s a damn shame, disrespectful and disgusting. I have so much to say on this cause I have 2 daughters but Twitter is not fit for who really needs to be called out🤬
Just a reminder that every prospect will not take off like the Trout’s,Harper’s ,Guerrero‘s and other elite talent that come to big leagues in there early 20’s it’s unfortunate that as a people, evaluators and others think this game is like fantasy league. It’s a different grind
Man o Man, Seattle…
@Mariners
fans, fans of baseball there are no guarantees but this weekend should one those block parties of days I felt in my time playing there let kids on the team feel that passion and energy of 30 to 40k rock’n the stadium they have seen the videos
Congratulations to Kiemaier but he was not better than Julio Rodriguez in CF this year. Playing in T Mobile for 82 games is much different than playing in Toronto.. but
#carryon
Thank you Vin Scully! not only did I get to hear you when I was a young boy because of my grandma loved listening to baseball on the radio but she got to hear you talk about her grandson playing the game we loved 🥹🙏🏿..I lost her this February at 96..Always with a clean suit on!!
@_JeremyBooth
Just stupid might as well get the robot umps cause this umpire had to not play a day in his life .. it’s windy guy swung a bad pitch stepped to regroup and the ump calls him out geez … what a time to alive .. foolery everywhere🤦🏿♂️
I know the MLB trade deadline is exciting for teams taking position for post season or even next year, also crazy for fanatics, but for the player it’s nerve wrecking to be up rooted and placed somewhere so when these guys get to your cities make sure you show them some love!!
Sitting here watching a big league in a section for $120 a ticket times 6 .. $20 for parking one beer $12.. 3 chicken tenders $28 .. I see why the avg fan is upset when a guy don’t give an autograph or isn’t giving it 💯 .. different prospective that I hope never took for granted
Earlier today, Daz Cameron stole a base off Yadier Molina, making him and his father, Mike Cameron, the first father-son duo to steal bases off Molina 🤯 (via
@EliasSports
)
Mariners playing some good baseball these last couple of days.. it’s definitely good cause I don’t have to see all these gm fanatics try and put a team together from their couch😂😂
Julio Rodríguez is the first rookie with 15 HR and 15 stolen bases before the All-Star Break since Devon White in 1987.
He's the 5th Mariner overall with 15 and 15 before the break, joining Mike Cameron ('01), Ken Griffey Jr. ('99), Alex Rodriguez ('98), and Ruppert Jones ('79).
I wish Big League hitters would post more of them getting ready for a season so kids can actually see what the work of their swing looks like and not this mess we continue to see on social media.. Respectfully
Odor staring the pitcher down because he missed inside .. bruh u hittin .219 ain’t nobody trying to hit you and put u on for free play the damn the game😂🤣🤣
This is the tired a$$ bs that mlb shouldn’t allow at this point.. for one if you can post betting lines all over the tv screen then this need clean up to the fullest also these are supposed to be the best in the game ask for help goodness it’s that simple🤦🏿♂️
One of my goals for 2024 is to get Barry Bonds, Albert Pujlos , Mike Trout, Manny Ramirez on a zoom call to actually talk about what there swing process is so we can clean up some of the non sense thrown around on this app and how they feel about people using their likeness👊🏿
And just like that..it’s time for wood,leather and rawhide season. We seek great health for all guys and hopes of finding the mental capacity for all that will deal anxieties,worries or whatever as mlb baseball season takes its seasonal turn! Remember rhythm and flow is the game
@RyanDivish
To sum up the stupidity of these responses ..when u get hit behind the ear whether it’s flush or not it changes your vision and equilibrium .. Questioning another man’s toughness is about as weak as it gets especially when you not in the fire! Smdh
I love Julio in the 3 hole!! Why!! JP always gives you quality and he puts the ball in play may sacrifice the power Julio brings but JP gets on base. Ty having a hot Julio Will get pitches and he is skilled with the bat! Then Geno will get pitches with Julio on because of the
Happy Opening Day! I was able to do 14 out of 17!(injuries) one of the best feelings a baseball player can experience at the MLB level! I always tell all players, “Stay Healthy, stay mentally healthy and Stay Dangerous” ✊🏿💪🏿

#oldmarinerfan
It ain’t nothing like a fanatic who plays fantasy baseball to say when a mlb player looks “cooked” after 25 AB’s 🤦🏿♂️🙄 boy I tell ya social media has made everyone special assistant to the GM🤷🏿♂️😂😂
@DodgersNation
A man who plays first base everyday sitting his but down watching the pitcher in a humid ATL nite.. after a very emotional weekend mental and physically in extra inn knowing he gotta cross 2 time zones to play in the high altitude in Colorado the next day🤷🏿♂️
@TalkinBaseball_
@JohnDenton555
I can’t see the runner rounding 3rd base but it doesn’t look like O’Neill is fleet of foot.. but maybe I’m wrong since they keep putting him in CF ..looks like O’Neill let up towards home plate .. gotta run through home plate especially when u have a guy like Acuna in RF
Jazz Chisholm is the 2nd player since 1900 to hit a grand slam and steal 3 bases in a game.
He joins Mike Cameron, who did it on May 16, 2002 at the Blue Jays.
Banning the shift in real life😂😂😂 wtf is this MLB the show go in settings and change the rules ..c’mon if anything just make sure the 3rd baseman can’t go past 2nd base🤷🏿♂️
In tonight’s games against the Angels, Elly De La Cruz slugged a home run, drove in 3 runs, and swiped 3 bags.
Since 2000, only 5 players have had a 1+ home run, 3+ RBI, 3+ SB performance.
@EastCoastMs_
This man hasn’t said one thing about a fan. He is only speaking his truth as to what could be better in his new home while explaining his ups and downs of playing in a ballpark.Respectfully do your research before you come out gaslighting because of the title
The worst thing about big league umps is the set up in the crease and still miss the pitch inside where the batter is .. 🤦🏿♂️ and Phil Cuzzo been missing pitches since I can remember being in th big leagues
Pardon my French but Ty France just hit the shit outta that ball to Right center in Oakland 🤯 when u can hear the sound on tv like I jus heard 🚀🧨 goodness …

@JRODshow44
“EL Prospecto” I spoke it into existence ohh bout a week ago but officially 20/20 CFer is a hell of an accomplishment at 21yrs old 🤯in today’s game of MLB baseball which is crazy to me! Oh well Felicidades.. Keep climbing 25/25 next up 💪🏿✊🏿📈
Prince Fielder crushed 319 homers while hitting .283 over his career. His career was cut short at just 32 years old due to a back injury. Would have easily hit over 500 homers if he played until 40.

@_mcameron44
’s birthday over the weekend. Happy Birthday Mike!
In 2002 I went to Peoria AZ to watch the Mariners/Padres spring training. I was watching batting practice when Mike pointed at me and handed me his bat. You can see how happy I was
Quite the memory “Wu Tang” Tony for 51 times around the sun! Thank you I am grateful!🙏🏿 I guess there so many ways to hammer a baseball and not just one way!🤫🫡
@MLBONFOX
@NBCSWhiteSox
Gotta learn how to slide around home plate that’s not the catcher’s fault 🤷🏿♂️ the fundamentals that we used to work on are no longer a priority
@MLBONFOX
@BenVerlander
Guess what number Shohei and the rest of baseball is going to wear April 15th! There’s a man that carried more than $700 mil on his shoulders for the history of the game period! All you had to do was add “Since Jackie Robinson”🤷🏿♂️
#wepayitforward
13-17 yr old still playing baseball for what reason I don’t know .. what am I missing 🤔 the only people I know playing right now is professional getting paid in AZ fall league and guys getting ABs in winter ball trying to get on a roster oh yeah they gett’n paid too
It’s that time of year again where me and my kid go back and forth in the cage where he’s always talking about slotting and I say, “ get the dang barrel to the ball and I guarantee it will slot for you” 🤷🏿♂️😂
#iknowballtoo
@JenTalksSports
Me and Nev are cool but changing your starter to retaliate with a reliever is kinda weird man .. once u miss u don’t get a 2nd chance that’s why Wink blew his top and I don’t blame him..
Putting your $300 million SHORTSTOP in CF will not change the way he plays or protect him from the original injury.. also note u have an established gold glove CF that understand the craft.. respectfully
Look people I’m gone ride Tim Anderson til the wheels fall off no matter what you fanatics have to say .. the man can play baseball at a high level! Now all you guys can go be fake interested in someone else career✌🏿✊🏿💪🏿
Young baseball players especially minor league guys if you are 25 and 26 years old got a little time in the big leagues and back in triple A do not be discouraged how people label you! EVERYONE DOES NOT MAKE IT TO THE BIG LEAGUE AT 20,21,22,23 and stay! Keep improving your game!
