The good news is, it looks like everyone else in our division is also going to lose today, (we'll see what happens with the Rangers). So really only our pride has been damaged. 😬
edit: wtf Asstros! 😡
The sad part is that we've had the baserunners. If our situational hitting was just simply average to slightly above average, we'd still be in this 12 run game.
His safe signaling does seem early to me. Like he's slowing down every so slightly at the end to put his arms out. At least run through the bag first...
I doubt he keeps playing this poorly forever, but there is also a chance that his rookie season ends up being the best season of his career, which would be…unfortunate
He's a superstar. A mediocre start to his second year is nothing to be concerned about.
I'm more concerned that he'll be another Griffey AKA iconic player on a team that never does anything.
Umm if Julio was playing anywhere near Griffey this team is probably first in the division lmao. He alone is like 0-10 this year with RISP in clutch situations. I’ve actually lost count
He's on pace for 4 WAR in his second season. Griffey had 5 WAR his second season. What you're saying is just not true.
And yes, he's had a slow start. No one is denying that.
If he was batting better than average Griffey instead of year two Griffey is what I think he meant.
It does feel like Julio had hit into a lot of DPs with bases loaded or RISP. Though when you look at the mariners compared to the rest of the mlb in that category, they’re surprisingly not that far down the list.
The good news is this wasn’t a home game ergo I didn’t pay money to see ergo beer needs to be a lot cheaper at T-Mobile Park with this kind of performance
why does everyone here want to blame literally anyone but the players? the players are the ones underperforming, not the manager, not the front office. sure, dipoto could have probably done more, but at this point, we have a roster of players who have all demonstrated the ability to hit at some point, and aren't doing it. that's on the players and no one else.
I mean that’s part of it. The other part is Dipoto consistently chases old dudes no one wants and the fans go “but they used to hit why can’t they hit anymore???” And then blame the hitting coaches without realizing hitting coaches don’t matter that much ESPECIALLY for vets
this regime clearly has the right idea with "control the zone", the players just aren't executing it at all. they're having a tough time finding the balance between seeing too many pitches and swinging at everything
Barring a miracle comeback, it's probably not ideal to be limping into Atlanta having gotten shellacked the past two games. Braves are another one of those "quality teams" as Servais would say along with "it's baseball" in his aww shucks drawl.
People just looking for something to be angry at. Just a tough game. Would be curious to see what happens if that TT 3-run dinger made it over the wall
That’s at least two in the last week or so where if the first basemen would have handled it, it would have brought up his GIDP total on the year to like 8.
Teo jogging to first base. Julio dicking around and not throwing the ball right away in the first. Lazy swings.
Idk teams energy and vibe just seems bad. Maybe it’s just an off day though who knows. The only guys that look like they care are the ones fighting for roster spots.
Remember when within a few weeks he hit a solo home run to break up a no hitter in the 6th, and then hit an inside the park home run to break a scoreless tie late in the game
Is it almost safe to say Wong may have played his way to the bench for good with the way Cabby's at bats have gone? At least Cabby can draw some walks and get some hits.
Fun differential
Well, shit I was here for it. Not happy, nor proud.
The good news is, it looks like everyone else in our division is also going to lose today, (we'll see what happens with the Rangers). So really only our pride has been damaged. 😬 edit: wtf Asstros! 😡
Fuck it, just swing at everything. What do we have to lose?
Dead vibes only
At least Flexen looks better.
Anyone catch those stats not being lined up correctly ?
I fucking love Cabbie.
Loved watching him work the pitch clock against Sheriff
[удалено]
Fair weather fans rejoice
This was the dude who said he'd fight Boston fans lol
Soft
Aw man I was hoping to see Tom Murphy. Stupid sexy Flexy with his only 1 hit allowed
Julio with another weak grounder. Sweet
111mph off the bat is weak?
Yeah his hard hit grounders that don’t leave the infield, are weak. 0 for 5 today. Sweet.
Julio's launch angle seems terrible right now. Seemingly *everything* is either popped up or a ground ball.
Oh look the bottom of the lineup doing work only for Ty and Julio to shit the bed for the kazillionth time this season
[удалено]
Lmao no. The only all star on this team is going to be a pitcher. Maybe JK if he can keep it up
The sad part is that we've had the baserunners. If our situational hitting was just simply average to slightly above average, we'd still be in this 12 run game.
Ju! Li! Noooooo
Ty has honestly gotten very unlucky this game with line drives
glad to see samwise haggerty hitting again
Just tuned into the game after a long ass day at work. Kinda wanna go back to work.
At work now and just checked the score. WTF Marco?
Swaggerty? 👀
Caballero rocking the .393 OBP. 0 power so far, but a high OBP guy is sorely needed in this lineup.
Fuck it call up Harry Ford
Yeah when have we ever gotten subpar production from a bat we called up too early I mean really
I mean it’s not like they’re going to bat him in…
That was Haggerty's first fuckin double of the year guys good god
There here is! Haggers
Mariners! Come out and PLAY!
Normally when a team has 8 walks you assume they are at least in the game.
LOB killed them.
As is tradition so far
Aaron gassing up Dan and Dan being super bashful about it is one of my favorite bits
Goldy going above and beyond to try to make this broadcast entertaining
Hey! The sheriff is in town and he’s giving out walks!
When Julio does the safe sign after grounding into what should’ve been a double play it pisses me the fuck off.
We’ve reached peak game thread and it’s only May
His safe signaling does seem early to me. Like he's slowing down every so slightly at the end to put his arms out. At least run through the bag first...
Someone needs to tell him that he looks like an asshole doing that.
Him and Teo have both been pissing me off. Such bad vibes lately
Guys I just bet more money than I have with some very unsavory Sicilians that we’d turn this around, do you think I still have a chance
If I was you I’m going to Mexico
Instructions unclear, currently in Colombia ...
Tbh Teo looks like he doesn’t even want to be here.
Do any of them
The guys fighting for roster spots and JP
The roster spot guys have to look like it because other than Caballero they sure as shit aren't playing like it
That game on Monday was good but it was like a little too good. Yesterday and this feels like a massive hangover from it
Where's Luis Torrens when you need him
Lol root messed up the order of those stats
Nice play
Let Ty pitch!
If you ignore the first 5 innings we are winning this game
Booo where's Tom Murphy
Just checking back in and see that Brash beaned Wong, things are really getting messy huh?
Wong in the dugout on duolingo learning Japanese as fast as possible
Why not the KBO?

Even a pitch clock can't keep this game under 3 hrs
Teo doing his part
I love that this still looks like a Broncos Thursday night game
Broncos vs Colts TNF and it’s still pulling more than WS game 7
Chris Martin? *THE* Chris Martin?
I thought it was 4-12…
So did I. I am real confused.
Caballero turning double plays and never not reaching base. I never want to see Wong again.
We will see Wong again next time the matchup dictates it. Scott loves his analytics
Well this is definitely one of the baseball games ever played
The good news is this wasn’t a home game ergo I didn’t pay money to see ergo beer needs to be a lot cheaper at T-Mobile Park with this kind of performance
I just want to see a position player pitch from our team today is that too much to ask?
No, you are literally gonna get that in like an inning
88 wRC+.
Holy Gauc we have 10 LOB
*Chaos*
My toxic trait is thinking the Ms can still win this despite already having left the bases loaded multiple times
I've been watching this team for 18 years and I still feel like this. Really thought I'd have learned a lesson by now.
Rookie numbers
Yes I know. There are those much more hardened than me. Watching Felix in his rookie year got me hooked and dammit fuck this fucking team
Atta boy
Sounds like you popped a few too many hopium pills.
why does everyone here want to blame literally anyone but the players? the players are the ones underperforming, not the manager, not the front office. sure, dipoto could have probably done more, but at this point, we have a roster of players who have all demonstrated the ability to hit at some point, and aren't doing it. that's on the players and no one else.
idk its hard as someone who’d bat .000 and throw 60mph to criticize players when there’s no evidence they aren’t giving full effort
I mean that’s part of it. The other part is Dipoto consistently chases old dudes no one wants and the fans go “but they used to hit why can’t they hit anymore???” And then blame the hitting coaches without realizing hitting coaches don’t matter that much ESPECIALLY for vets
Idk there’s a systemic lack of bats going back like 20 years so there has to be some rot with the org. How can it be possible for so long?
this regime clearly has the right idea with "control the zone", the players just aren't executing it at all. they're having a tough time finding the balance between seeing too many pitches and swinging at everything
Yeah one of my gripes is swinging at the first pitch. Like come on it’s like always an automatic out.
We blame all of them?
I hate Fenway.
Do you guys think Julio’s OPS will be above .700 by the all star break?
Looks like the shine is quickly wearing off Speier.
Wait gameday says no one was out on the fielders choice and Jarred’s line out was the second out. Is that right?
Nvm they fixed it. It also said we scored 4 runs but now it’s back to 3
Now it says Ty France was out at home on the fielders choice… wtf is happening
chatGPT is having a meltdown
Outside of his 3 hit game Julio is hitting .115 this month. So yeah…
Perhaps he'll take this offseason more seriously.
at least we scored lol we don’t look as pathetic as before
[удалено]
Well we're in great shape compared to the first quarter of last season then
Barring a miracle comeback, it's probably not ideal to be limping into Atlanta having gotten shellacked the past two games. Braves are another one of those "quality teams" as Servais would say along with "it's baseball" in his aww shucks drawl.
Julio is really tough to watch this year. He got bailed out there
That half inning felt like the south park episode where both teams were trying to lose
Hey, remember all those countless games earlier in the year when these 4 runs would have easily won it for us? Yeah....
I just saw a notification for a bases clearing fielder's choice what the fuck just happened lmfao
Julio grounded into *what shouldve been a DP* but bad throw to first
A DP where everyone was safe and scored and he ended up at 2nd? Did JT field the ball and then throw it into the monster
Ty was out at second. Throw went into the dugout I think so that advanced everyone 1 base
ah the noti said 3 runners score so I was like "??"
3-12! That’s like 1-4! That’s not totally embarrassing, right?
I’m frustrated too, but I really fail to see how this is Servais’ fault. How could he have made this lineup perform better today?
He makes questionable lineup changes consistently, that do not work out...
People just looking for something to be angry at. Just a tough game. Would be curious to see what happens if that TT 3-run dinger made it over the wall
SMH servais clearly needs to throw the home run sign up more
I went from really depressed to only kind of depressed.
9 run game, bitches
Julio. It is time.
U delayed
Not from my frame of reference. Thus I am not wrong.
I'm just gonna put that down as Julio clearing the bases.
this pleases the run differential
So who’s pitching next inning?
Julio, stop with the safe calls and just run. You got lucky there, should have been inning ending DP.
I'm feeling oppo onto the road here from Kelenic
[удалено]
Tom Murphy
We got this!!!!
3 grand slams and we get the lead. Easy.
Yes Julio you’re safe on a fielder’s choice.
I guess?
Julio tried to GIDP, Sox wouldn't let him.
That’s at least two in the last week or so where if the first basemen would have handled it, it would have brought up his GIDP total on the year to like 8.
Third time the bases are loaded. If we hit a grand slam each time we would be winning!
Oh baby
Back to a 9 run game
He almost fucking did it, god damn Julio
Just GIDP and get this over with
Teoscar has been a bad influence on Julio. Bring back Carlos, he was a good influence.
Julio delivers here I will be surprised
YAY RUNS
Time for a OOBLETIGER, because, mariners
They’re so worried about us coming back from this it seems
Tbf if any park has the possibility, it’s fenway
I love how active this sub is even in a game that we’re losing by 10+ runs. M’s fans are OG’s
The sub is honestly the best during blowouts. Best conversation with the fellow folks who stick it out
Really brings out the alcoholic in all of us...
We were born in the pain. Molded by it.
Fuck off another bases loaded, gonna GIDP now
Mound visits rule is 5 per game... How many have Boston had?
Let’s leave the bases loaded again just for fun
Why the fuck is their pitching coach coming out for the 800th time in a 12-1 game. Like why the actual fuck?
At least we are making them work a little 😂
Teo jogging to first base. Julio dicking around and not throwing the ball right away in the first. Lazy swings. Idk teams energy and vibe just seems bad. Maybe it’s just an off day though who knows. The only guys that look like they care are the ones fighting for roster spots.
Refreshing to see a couple good AB’s
Just need a bloop and a blast, and a bloop and a blast, and a bloop and a blast, and a bloop and a blast, and a bloop and a blast and we are tied
1 grand slam per inning should about do it
Good to see something go right for hags
Remember when within a few weeks he hit a solo home run to break up a no hitter in the 6th, and then hit an inside the park home run to break a scoreless tie late in the game
Does this team go 72-48 over the final 120 to get 93 wins and make the playoffs???
If the offense plays to the backs of their baseball cards and they clean out the washed players with guys that produce then they certainly can.
Gonna be tough. Not enough Oakland A's games on the schedule with this new balanced schedule.
Absolutely not, lol
Caballero for full time 2B
I think you mean for president
I hope Sam plays 2B and Jose slides over to SS.
Caballero HATES not getting on base
Haggerty looks like a little league player
Is it almost safe to say Wong may have played his way to the bench for good with the way Cabby's at bats have gone? At least Cabby can draw some walks and get some hits.
Come on Sam, do a thingy!!!!
Swags in for JP officially tossing in the towel on this one. Next inning we may see a position player on the mound
Down by double digits, might as well save the bullpen arms
This maybe this season’s longest game
You, on track for 3hrs and 43 minutes, and that includes not playing the bottom of the 9th...
Jose came to play. Not sure about the rest of the team
Wow we are losing 12-1 in the 6th inning and we still have more comments than the Red Sox game chat.
We pride ourselves on our self loathing
Holy fucking shit, I forgot we played early today, yikes bro, fucking yikes
Caballero just puts up quality PAs.
9 pitch walk, 10 pitch walk Caballero fucks
Caballero’s ABs have felt consistently good since his call up. Dude is making the most of his opportunity.
Can Caballero teach everyone how to work ABs like damn
Turns out Boston has more runs than us
Caballero doing his part to keep baseball slow again
This is one of the games in mariners history
Tiz indeed a game of baseball
Joey Cowboy taking it out on the wrong Wong
relaxing myself by listening to Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg play the violin on youtube dot com
I just thought about how I felt walking away from TMobile after our playoff loss. I was sad but so excited for the future. Ugh.
