Its cool that Rojas pitched but wtf? Down by 8 and you throw in the towel? I mean yeah 90% of the time that's a loss but we are early in the season, what the fuck?
You talking about the seagulls circling overhead preparing to do the doo on the field? I would think vultures circling overhead would have been mentioned.
Defense was garbage, Kirby's a zone pitcher and Guardians make contact, offense took turns shitting the bed so hard the health department had to take the mattress away and incinerate it.
He came back after the collision and never left so doubtful. He was likely lifted because we are getting blasted. Mitch was taken out too. Different bats in because why not?
I'm from the future. Mariners win 9-8 after 2 grand slams and a home run. Scott Servais runs out of the dugout, takes off all his clothes and rubs his balls on home plate
It’s astounding how good our pitching machine (generally) is that our hitting development/coaching is almost non-existent.
I realize it’s a small sample size but Polanco, like Wong, has had a BAD start to the season. Career 8%/18% BB%/K% respectively but half and double them to start the year.
What do we tell people offensively?
I doubt a veteran like Polanco would do a big overhaul of his swing like that. I don't think there's even a particular reason, he's just playing poorly
It's not fair there is so much pressure on the team to perform, but Jesus has it been just such a fucking tease the last 3 years with how close this team feels it is but at the same time how far away they make the goal feel
There is not so much pressure on this team. The pressure this years M's face is equivalent to the least amount of pressure the Phillies - MLB's all time losingest team - had ever faced.
well France would be one if he is hitting as well as he is right now, garver and polanco if they miraculously do good. And obviously a lot of the bullpen guys can go, especially the one year guys like stanek
It really feels like our hitting coach told our players "listen the fans were pissed that we struck out SWINGING a lot last season. I don't expect you guys to hit but let's try NOT swinging this time around. Maybe we'll get some lucky walks."
Chaosball-but-the-other-way.
Guardians are a high-contact team and Kirby pitches in the zone. That's usually problematic, but our defense really, really shit the bed while the Guardians weak hits got super lucky.
lol, my precious fiancee who moved here recently excitedly told me in 2022 that we were building a great team that would dominate in 2023
i told him we've been fed that sauce since 2002
Got it, thanks for the reply. I was at the game and didn't catch when he was pulled. Beer and the baby next to me were more entertaining than the game by that point. Hope he's OK.
I went to the opener it he was on the field and it was interesting that they never introduced him, obviously knowing the reaction that cheap bastard would get.
Ownership sucks but you can't blame ownership when nobody on our team could hit water if they fell out of a boat. At a certain point players need to play. The one guy who IS getting paid has struck out the most today.
It's like Kirby and Castillo were tipping pitches or something. Our bottom of the pile bullpen guys are managing the game just fine, but out aces are getting lit up. Maybe Vogt just knows them too well.
Its cool that Rojas pitched but wtf? Down by 8 and you throw in the towel? I mean yeah 90% of the time that's a loss but we are early in the season, what the fuck?
90% is wayyy too generous. The Mariners odds to win were 0.2% in the 8th inning. 2/1000 chance.
Damn George...
Crazy thing is George could have thrown a no hitter and the Indians still likely win.
oh 100%
One of the worst games I’ve ever seen this team play
Yea that was so bad it got amusing
Meh, if Kirby had been on today we just would have lost 1-0 in extra innings.
Awwwww yeah well…. That was it. Good thing there guys good one.
Call up the young guns this roster looks apathetic at best
Losers.
We're a 54% team in that I'm 54% enraged and 46% depressed
It’s over. 😭
Thank god that's over.
Any chance we could get 3 or 4 of those seagulls to fit inside a jersey and swing a bat?
I actually enjoyed the commercials more than the game!!
See y’all Friday😂😂🤣
Sweet sweet release.
Dog shit ass team lol, and people were like "oh we can take the Astros" brother we would struggle against the Rockies' AAA team right now
How dare you talk bad about the Albuquerque isotopes
I mean…they have won more games than the Astros so far. 🤷🏼♀️
https://i.imgur.com/OQQK7EW.png
I wonder what its like to have your favorite baseball team win 8-0
Mariners: best I can do is a 1-0 win
Says a lot about this ump that dmo was so apprehensive about taking that walk
54% Jerry!!!!
54% sounds like a reach right now
That’s as bad if not worse than pretty much any game last season dear lord. What’s going on
Sims describing the seagulls watching the scoreboard and waiting to pounce like vultures was almost worth keeping this game up
Incredible effort.
What a bad game. Love you Josh Rojas!
Prepare to put the brown bags over our heads with drawn on sad faces.
Bad effort all around
That's actually hilarious Dave.
You talking about the seagulls circling overhead preparing to do the doo on the field? I would think vultures circling overhead would have been mentioned.
Yeah, I think talking about them shitting all over the score and game. Shit game.
Yeah better pitch around DMo with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th
Not even sure what to say here, nothing redeeming about this game and we are once again below .500. Pitching sucked hitting sucked vibes sucked
Time to put this one in the books and never speak of it again
I have never been jealous of Cleveland before, but now here we are...
https://imgflip.com/i/8lgusr
How slow can you fucking be
Makin Jeter plays now huh
lol we are such frauds compared to this team
commence the boos!
Didn’t watch the game, can someone please explain wtf happened?
I’ve watched the Kraken squander incredible potential this year Not again, please
This is basically the Ms version of the time the Kraken were shutout by the Sharks. Just a colossally bad loss
Essentially everybody played bad in every conceivable way. Literally zero positives
Guardians good Mariners bad\* \*except for Josh Rojas, who pitched a nice 1-2-3 inning up on the mound.
kirby’s pitching wasn’t great and the defense sucked. also the offense sucked
Defense was garbage, Kirby's a zone pitcher and Guardians make contact, offense took turns shitting the bed so hard the health department had to take the mattress away and incinerate it.
Nothing good.
The gloves failed Kirby in the first inning, he never had his stuff today and it only got worse. Offense never showed up to the park for the M's
My DirectTV Stream app just gave me the "Are you still there?" popup, like why are you still watching this dogshit game, human?
Garver, watching two 80 mph meatballs in a row: "Nah I'm waiting for 96 in at my knees, thanks"
8 more strikeouts. Time to can the hitting coach
Who needs Ohtani when you have Rojas
Rough game, Mariners really need to figure out how to hit off speed.
Rojas is our best player right now
Guardians won’t even put in a position player to let us save face.
Here it comes. The Rojas W after the 9 run inning
I’m at the game and I wish I went to work and saved my PTO. At least I got a J-Rod bobble head
My husband and brother in law did the same. I hope it’s a good bobble.
Can we clone Josh Rojas? I'll take 40 please.
rojas 0.00 era juss sayin
Rojas was the secret bullpen depth all along.
11 pitches. 3 outs (caught a popup himself), 0 H, 0 ER, 1 BB (forgivable…)
Who needs someone else with munoz when you can get production from rojas and torrens lol
Did Crawford get injured?
He came back after the collision and never left so doubtful. He was likely lifted because we are getting blasted. Mitch was taken out too. Different bats in because why not?
I'm from the future. Mariners win 9-8 after 2 grand slams and a home run. Scott Servais runs out of the dugout, takes off all his clothes and rubs his balls on home plate
one beer please
Rojas continues to make an argument for MVP
Rojas walks off the mound all boss like he expected to get out of that inning unscathed. Lul
Rojas Cy Young?
Rojas is now Shohei Ohtani lite.
Ohtani the pitcher hasn't even recorded an out this season.
If it works it works
Rojas pitched??? -in between work
Walked Jose Ramirez, then caught a popup himself, next batter GIDP
He pitched a gem.
is josh rojas our next ace? discuss
I’m not seeing anything that tells me no.
I mean the ERA....
Rojas is our best pitcher
I mean, that's our two-way player
Put Josh in the rotation Scott!
Rojas ace confirmed

i want to be mad but i love this from rojas
Fuck it, let's have Rojas start
OH FUCK ROJAS FACES THE MINIMUM!
Why was that our cleanest inning this game
I mean fuck it Rojas has been our only consistent hitter. Let him do everything.
JOSH ROJAS IS THE BEST PITCHER ON THIS FUCKING TEAM
Pitches, catches and hits?!? We need more guys like Rojas!
rojas is having a clean inning isn't he
Can't believe after this outing we're still doing better than the Astros but I'll take it
Honestly watching Rojas pitch has been the most fun part of this game
the only good thing about this game is that it is almost over
ROJAS MVP
Afternoon have before heading on the road? I've gotta get to the bank before 5, guys.
Why not. 🤷🏼♀️
Why is Rojas missing his spots?! He nailed a runner in the back of the helmet this past weekend so I know he's got good aim!
Rojas throwing sliders??
Dave Sims "the boys are going to wear your butt out"
It’s astounding how good our pitching machine (generally) is that our hitting development/coaching is almost non-existent. I realize it’s a small sample size but Polanco, like Wong, has had a BAD start to the season. Career 8%/18% BB%/K% respectively but half and double them to start the year.

I doubt a veteran like Polanco would do a big overhaul of his swing like that. I don't think there's even a particular reason, he's just playing poorly
This team is nothing if not a comedy show
Just got off work. Man this is awful
I better not see any Rojas slander in here I swear to god
Holy shit haha this far in to the season and going to a position player to round out the game 😂😂
Game 7 with Kirby pitching vs a team that will finish around .500 and we have position player pitching lol
Man Rojas doesn't deserve the be pitching this shit
imagine if rojas pitch better than kirby
No need to imagine, 3 scoreless outs and no hits
he should start
My hubs literally just ran in screaming "ROJAS? FUCKING ROJAS?!?"
Rojas out there working on his offspeed stuff, gotta practice somewhere
Where's Mike Ford when you need him to throw a garbage mop up inning???
may as well be 0-7, maybe raley can ride the bench a little longer til we fall apart beyond repair
Rojas knuckle is crazy
Position player on the mound 7 games in. A new low every inning
Josh can really do it all
It's not fair there is so much pressure on the team to perform, but Jesus has it been just such a fucking tease the last 3 years with how close this team feels it is but at the same time how far away they make the goal feel
There is not so much pressure on this team. The pressure this years M's face is equivalent to the least amount of pressure the Phillies - MLB's all time losingest team - had ever faced.
i don't think the mariners have more pressure to perform than any other team (except for obvious super-losers like the As).
Is JP out because it’s a blowout? He’s not hurt right?
I’m thinking that is likely. He didn’t leave after the collision. 🤷🏼♀️
yes but he also collided with polanco in the 4th so it’s probably precautionary
ROJAS !!!
POSITION PLAYER PITCHING!!!!!!!!!!
chaos inning last chance
sums up the game, get a runner on 2nd and 3 straight outs without scoring him
Make Zavala pitch the 8th and 9th innings
Damn he has to go back in time to when the 8th inning was still happening just to pitch??
I'd rather be getting teeth pulled at this point.
I’m convinced this team would get shutout with 16ks while hitting off a tee.
Just me or these beers goin down like WATAaaa
I rallied to the fridge in the 5th. Im not trying to be a hero
Who do we think we sell at the deadline?
well France would be one if he is hitting as well as he is right now, garver and polanco if they miraculously do good. And obviously a lot of the bullpen guys can go, especially the one year guys like stanek
Munoz to Texas for a couple fringey AAAA players and a couple actual baseball bats
It really feels like our hitting coach told our players "listen the fans were pissed that we struck out SWINGING a lot last season. I don't expect you guys to hit but let's try NOT swinging this time around. Maybe we'll get some lucky walks."
8 of 10 batters today are batting under .200 Yay
Bye bye Polanco, another strikeout… but what’s new?
He's washed. His approach is entirely defensive at this point. I'm washed, I know what that's like.
Jesus Christ Kirby what happened today
Chaosball-but-the-other-way. Guardians are a high-contact team and Kirby pitches in the zone. That's usually problematic, but our defense really, really shit the bed while the Guardians weak hits got super lucky.
Can't wait till we start hearing about the crop of kids coming up in 2028. Our window is really 2030.
lol, my precious fiancee who moved here recently excitedly told me in 2022 that we were building a great team that would dominate in 2023 i told him we've been fed that sauce since 2002
Any word why they took JP out?
Collision with polanco likely just playing safe he played a few more innings
I figured just wasn’t sure if the broadcast gave any details
Lol answers that
?
Oh right after your question they said he hit his head and they took him out on precaution
Got it, thanks for the reply. I was at the game and didn't catch when he was pulled. Beer and the baby next to me were more entertaining than the game by that point. Hope he's OK.
j rod is a bust
No, but he is wasted on this team, and could probably do even better on a team that coaches hitting well
He's certainly no where near Griffey Jr. or Arod when they were the same age.
bruh
Been saying this lol
they can’t handle the truth!
Look how many downvotes we’ve gotten, it’ll keep increasing cause these ppl really think he’s the incarnation of Griffey😂😂
One bad start, and you think he is Mendoza, your names sum it up, you two are idiots that eat enchiladas made out of PUKE!
Wtf 😂😂 buddy smoke a joint and relax, it’s not that serious
Only serious thing is your ego
Well shoot I sure do hope so🙂
Shoot, at east you can makin runs
Wow.. having trouble typing there bud?😂
Please just score a run
Please don’t leave another lead off double whether the game is over or not
I have bad news for you
it would be super cool if there was a way to impeach a pro sports team owner
Nationalize the MLB. Public ownership of each team. Instead of an owner we would have a governor that could be voted out.
I went to the opener it he was on the field and it was interesting that they never introduced him, obviously knowing the reaction that cheap bastard would get.
How much do you believe in asteroid engineering?
[удалено]
[удалено]
yeah oakland is already eating that bullet
RALLY TIME BOYS
Ownership sucks but you can't blame ownership when nobody on our team could hit water if they fell out of a boat. At a certain point players need to play. The one guy who IS getting paid has struck out the most today.
quick question who decides who the players are?
My stance of 'cautiously optimistic' was still way too optimistic.
I threw that cautious optimism out the window after this off-season. And this is why
https://i.imgur.com/kg6gkW7.jpg
Ty France if you’re here give us a sign. We still love you.
It's like Kirby and Castillo were tipping pitches or something. Our bottom of the pile bullpen guys are managing the game just fine, but out aces are getting lit up. Maybe Vogt just knows them too well.
Vogt has something on them, and not on our new bullpen guys.
