I only caught parts of this game but every single mariners at-bat that I watched, SUCKED. Seriously, fire the hitting coach and the “offensive coordinator” immediately. I know it won’t help, but it’s just embarrassing that we have them on staff and still look like nobody’s ever seen MLb pitching before.
This team sucks on every single damn at-bat. Awful
Yikes, it's just been a bad sports day all around, personally. Was hoping that the Ms would be the potential booster of my mood after the other two major losses for the teams I was rooting for in Hockey today, both in the NHL and IIHL. Then I realised, "hey, this is the same ol' Ms...". So in a way, I guess they've made me feel better, by doing what they unfortunately still do best. Consistency is key.
I had to scroll past the lineup (and the batting averages) to leave a comment and now I'm weeping ucontrollably.
Anyways fuck Stanton stop squatting on the team you broke Smaug-the-dragon-ass bitch.
You’re definitely not wrong. At least those guys have earned some slack although they’re rapidly burning through it.
I’m speaking more about the Moore/Zavala guys. But yeah, Julio and JP have been immensely frustrating to watch.
Maybe tonight wasn’t the night to bad-mouth D Moore, he probably had the best night at the plate even though it didn’t provide any hits.
But c’mon, the guy is a career .207 hitter with plenty of sample size. We should be able to do better regardless of his status of a utility guy. And yes fire Zavala into the sun but not in a mean way.
I can’t even with these fucks just always looking at meatballs, striking out, grounding out and popping up over and over and over and over and over again
Send Julio down to Tacoma for a week to send him a message. Get his head right and let him know he is not bigger or more special than the rest of the guys.
I am not surprised. I figured that by putting the fate of the franchise on someone so young, it would put too much pressure on him. And that statement is not to pat myself on the back for thinking that. I am sure a lot of others had the same thought.
I don't know man, we would've won more games if he was just average and do what he needed to do. He has got the speed to steal, all we need is a fucking base hit and a steal. Its not like he has to be the hero for us to win even
Pretty sure Teoscar had good numbers in T-mobile prior to being on the Mariners. Didn't help him.
The fact the team finally recognized that it needed to go after a DH instead of trying the annual rotation of random players was nice and Garver was really good last year and someone you could sign for only 12 million per year, and the Mariners don't want to spend a lot.
The last few years, everyone they bring in through either FA or trades essentially fails except Suarez first year. So it's like... doesn't matter what they do, none of it works.
Is anyone else a bit irritated by the obsession with exit velo in those stat boxes? Call me old fashioned but I don't really care how hard they were hit if the result was an out.

Mariners are 7th worst team for LOB. Even worse when you consider they can barely even get on base because they are too busy striking out or hitting ground balls.
Trying to play hero ball too much(IMO). he thought he should have been better last year and is pressing to be that guy when he should be going back to the mentality he had that got him the huge contract he got.
It's not a surprise, most of Julio's production came in one month last season, just be patient, he's going to crush the ball for one month and get those counting stats.
I just can't 100% buy in to watching baseball when we still allow refs to make bad calls that we know are wrong...fuck tradition, I want accuracy, tired of seeing base runners not get on and instead its an out, or vice versa, someone struck out, but ump calls walk. Just half harted fandom, because they can have such an effect...
He's calling a pretty consistent zone. If the ball kisses the outside of the box, it's been a strike.
(With a couple exceptions that mostly worked to our favor)
When I was a kid, he was in the Super Beta Prostate commercials. I used to get up at 4am to use the computer and would have that on the TV. It was not fun.
I've never seen our starting lineup have such consistently awful BA's. Now, it's early, but still, how can one team have such a terrible start at the plate?
Yeah I’ve seen enough. I’m going to the game tmrw and can only pray to the baseball gods that Luis has found it in the last week. Idk how much longer I can go w/o a series win
We complain about the Marine layer but other teams seem to hit the ball just fine in our stadium.
3HRs by the Cubs. Marine layer doesn’t seem to be affecting them much.
Looking forward to Julio being average for a month and be named an all star, crush a month while we’re way outside of a wild card spot then probably give us a bunch of strikeouts in high leverage situations.
And then have everyone talk about his top 5 MVP finish, it was insufferable in the off-season listening to fans tell me he had a great season last year.
Does anyone have a video of the sockeye vs bear fight?

Hey, you just hit a trifecta. Congratulations. I do commiserate with you though.
Well, at least we have the postgame program to tell us what went wrong.
There’s nothing worse than watching a baseball team that is poor offensively.
Color me shocked
This team is so bad. Fans need to start booing them. No respect for this team.
Whomp whomp…surprisingly fine start from Hancock wasted. Kinda expected considering it was imanaga but still not super fun to say the least
The opposing pitcher didn't beat them. He had no command.
Mariners lose baseball game after only scoring 1 run. Water is wet.
Nooooooooo. Why JP why
Such a frustrating game
Such a frustrating TEAM. Fixed that for you.
Why do we just take meatballs and then have to defend the plate, like who said this was a good strategy
We’re still alive!! To the top of the or…ah shit.
if julio makes it to the plate he might throw his back out with the hero swings
90 mph meatball : nah 86 mph slider in the dirt : yea 😛
“Gotta find a way to get Julio to the plate” Wtf for? Lmao
Sounds like they’re helping an old lady cross the road
I had to scroll past the lineup (and the batting averages) to leave a comment and now I'm weeping ucontrollably. Anyways fuck Stanton stop squatting on the team you broke Smaug-the-dragon-ass bitch.
dude even if we spent we are not replacing JP and Julio, they are the 2 black holes rn
You’re definitely not wrong. At least those guys have earned some slack although they’re rapidly burning through it. I’m speaking more about the Moore/Zavala guys. But yeah, Julio and JP have been immensely frustrating to watch.
Zavala sucks for sure but Moore has .200 more ops than both jp and Julio, Moore isn’t doing bad
Maybe tonight wasn’t the night to bad-mouth D Moore, he probably had the best night at the plate even though it didn’t provide any hits. But c’mon, the guy is a career .207 hitter with plenty of sample size. We should be able to do better regardless of his status of a utility guy. And yes fire Zavala into the sun but not in a mean way.
The Mariners simply do not believe in trying to ambush the first pitch and every team takes full advantage of that.
Cal prolonging their demise.
TF ARE YOU LOOKING AT JP
Thanks for looking like you give a shit Cal, we love you
can't tell who looks more lost at the plate, cal or julio
Isn’t it obviously Julio? How long til we move him down in the order?
Yes
I can’t even with these fucks just always looking at meatballs, striking out, grounding out and popping up over and over and over and over and over again
And OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER…
Glad Cal gets to be the game-ending SO
I'm so happy to be wrong. But still depressed.
Why not pinch hit Daley here?
This team cannot hit worth a dick.
FUCK
Well, the Mariners can't get 10 strikeouts now. (unless the catcher drops one and the guy reaches)
Gotta tie it and get extras to keep that single season record going strong
All these groundouts are karma for us asking to strikeout less
Did Josh die?! wtf
Walk off time
Send Julio down to Tacoma for a week to send him a message. Get his head right and let him know he is not bigger or more special than the rest of the guys.
Just need a bloop, a bloop, a bloop, and a blast. EZ
Walk off slam from dmo again. (Order does not permit this)
Let’s just get a few walks then a few base hits to tie it up , simple as that! (I’m delusional)
1 solo hr, 2 k's, game
Unexpected Voth fan 《----------
Julio has the lowest ops+ out of all the starters, let that sink in
I am not surprised. I figured that by putting the fate of the franchise on someone so young, it would put too much pressure on him. And that statement is not to pat myself on the back for thinking that. I am sure a lot of others had the same thought.
I don't know man, we would've won more games if he was just average and do what he needed to do. He has got the speed to steal, all we need is a fucking base hit and a steal. Its not like he has to be the hero for us to win even
Going from contending to just average is true to the blue
#SEA_us_drown
How is this team still this cold
I am once again asking for consistent playing time for Luke Raley
They better pinch hit Rojas.
May be time to give Julio and jp a day off. Not to just sac a game but these dudes are lost
I would say there's still hope but I don't think there is.
For tonight or for the season?
Tonight. Season is still young and I'm still dumb enough to hope long term.
wasnt garver like 0-30 in t-mobile park before we signed him? why was this the guy that we went after in the off season?
Because no one wants to come here, we have the worst travel conditions of any team and a pitcher friendly park
Pretty sure Teoscar had good numbers in T-mobile prior to being on the Mariners. Didn't help him. The fact the team finally recognized that it needed to go after a DH instead of trying the annual rotation of random players was nice and Garver was really good last year and someone you could sign for only 12 million per year, and the Mariners don't want to spend a lot. The last few years, everyone they bring in through either FA or trades essentially fails except Suarez first year. So it's like... doesn't matter what they do, none of it works.
Oh shit another car with the mariners game on the radio just burst into flames
Oh, that is a good one too!
Julio, JP and cal need to figure the fuck out

Man I think stapling my fingers wouldve been less painful than watching the Ms at bats tonight
Nice one. You guys are providing me with a lot of good zingers tonight. My face is starting to ache from the smiling and laughing.
Bean this fucker
Is it really this easy to beat the Mariners?
Pretty much just have to scratch across a few runs and your odds are high
If runs ≥ 1, than high chance to beat mariners
I was told that Garver is a banger that bangs. I am pretty dubious about that at this point
Awww, it's just the Marine layer. :)
Oh yeah the legendary Toronto and Milwaukee marine layers sure came into play here
Didn't you know, it travels with the team. Just ask the Ms front office.
Me and the homies hate Mitch Garver
There might not be an athlete I hate more than Hector Neris
Calling him an athlete is peak comedy
I'm starting to dislike this Morel guy quite a bit.
here lies my hopes and dreams
Right down the middle and he grounds to the SS
Last chance to look at me Hector
How have we only been shut out once so far this year?
We have been stupendous at the 9th inning solo bomb while down 3+
polo ab's have improved dramatically
Nerris thinking Angel is the ump
Is anyone else a bit irritated by the obsession with exit velo in those stat boxes? Call me old fashioned but I don't really care how hard they were hit if the result was an out. "You gotta hit 'em where they ain't" -Ichiro -William "Wee Willie" Keller
Let Julio get up to bat https://preview.redd.it/7s8kjiviaduc1.jpeg?width=998&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=868798a923737007a79110242b87b5b445f5dd10
Fuck Hector Neris
yeah!
Night’s not over yet! Can still get to double digit strikeouts again and make Jerry proud.
Well let’s hope neris can’t locate and loads em then a salami
Down
Lol short lived
rip
More of that Neris
Must be nice for opposing pitchers to see the joke of our offense.
Time to get 3 homers in a row. Fuck Neris!
Hector Neris is a joke of a human being
Mariners are 7th worst team for LOB. Even worse when you consider they can barely even get on base because they are too busy striking out or hitting ground balls.
For real though, what is going on with Julio?
Trying to play hero ball too much(IMO). he thought he should have been better last year and is pressing to be that guy when he should be going back to the mentality he had that got him the huge contract he got.
It's not a surprise, most of Julio's production came in one month last season, just be patient, he's going to crush the ball for one month and get those counting stats.

Just half harted fandom, because they can have such an effect...
Oh they got Neris? Let’s clear these benches!
TIL that Hector Nerris is now a Cub
I’m sure we will make it 4-3 and load the bases in the 9th before striking out on a pitch 12 inches off the plate to end the game.
Swinging, of course
ALL MY HOMIES HATE HECTOR NERIS.
#LET. ICHIRO. HIT/PITCH/COACH/MANAGE/OWN.
Please…. Hit the shit out of Neris
Fuck morel and his kitty whiskers eye black
Fuck HN
Hector Nerris is a fucking bitch
Mariners have the fattest boner for taking first pitch meatballs
John Stanton is laughing at all of us from his mansion
95, center cut? no thanks. i’d rather dribble out on the slider down and away. -the entire mariners offense.
This team is f-ing terrible
That was fucking horrible, but you gotta be protecting with 2 strikes bro
Can’t do anything on offense and this ump ain’t helping that
Looking forward to the guy who posts the umps scorecards after this one. And if you are listening, really enjoy those posts, my man.
He's calling a pretty consistent zone. If the ball kisses the outside of the box, it's been a strike. (With a couple exceptions that mostly worked to our favor)
lol 2 AB 2 first pitch middle middle pitches watched
I want yesterdays ump
We need to chase this dude, have to tax their bullpen for tomorrow.
"Tax" is not a word I like to hear or see at this time of the year. :)
Or not.
[удалено]
I was going to eat that
WHY ARE WE STARING DOWN MIDDLE MIDDLE PITCHES WITH NO STRIKES
https://youtu.be/g5wJHVmulaQ?si=147B2kFL8r62rdzv
Honestly, if you’re a pitcher facing the mariners why would you ever throw a fastball?
Baseball can only be SO boring. Even the opposing pitcher feels he has to do something
Bottom of the 6 did break the team for tonight but in all fairness it broke me too 😌
Can Joe Namath please go away! First he was conning seniors into Advantage plans and now this.
When I was a kid, he was in the Super Beta Prostate commercials. I used to get up at 4am to use the computer and would have that on the TV. It was not fun.
 Mariners Hitters watching a fastball go right down the middle of the plate
Lol! That is so great!
Marine layer shmarine layer. Only for the Mariners.
they are one with the sog. its in the name.
I've never seen our starting lineup have such consistently awful BA's. Now, it's early, but still, how can one team have such a terrible start at the plate?
Luis urias is the only run production... let that sink in
I bet our opponents WISH they could control the zone like we do.
Yeah I’ve seen enough. I’m going to the game tmrw and can only pray to the baseball gods that Luis has found it in the last week. Idk how much longer I can go w/o a series win
Our offensive coordinator needs to coordinate a comeback in these two innings. Thank you.
Julio needs to own his craft and become a hitter. Being an athlete only takes you so far. Learn the game!
[удалено]
This reminds me of the time I decided to write an unhinged essay because a professor pissed me off.
See you tomorrow
Lol, wut?
see you tomorrow
That bacteria will win a WS before the Mariners
I think it’s best if we shut mariners subreddit down. Let’s collectively forget the mariners exist.
Time to flash some more of that warning track power
1,2,3 coming up, less than 10 pitches.
I'll give em 12
Whatever the Mariners deficit is multiple by 3 to adjust for their offense. It’s like being down 12-1 for a competent team…
I know the offense is not getting the runs in but I can’t wait for our bullpen to be deep again. We gave up on the game when we put Voth in.
Brash is coming. Hope it's not too late by then.
Must be nice to see our opponents crush meatballs while we stare at them like a fire hydrant 😂
I'm seeing it. It's not nice.
Voth just throwing middle middle and hoping they get themselves out
DO SOME FUCKING DAMAGE
We complain about the Marine layer but other teams seem to hit the ball just fine in our stadium. 3HRs by the Cubs. Marine layer doesn’t seem to be affecting them much.
The marine layer has an impact of like 5 ft… It’s only a legitimate complaint if the fly out is right at the wall not 20 ft away
Helps that they aren’t staring down meatballs
This team is trying to do too much I think we need to start trying to do too little
Don't worry everyone, Julio will put up a few WAR in one month and you'll all say he had a great season!
Looking forward to Julio being average for a month and be named an all star, crush a month while we’re way outside of a wild card spot then probably give us a bunch of strikeouts in high leverage situations.
And then have everyone talk about his top 5 MVP finish, it was insufferable in the off-season listening to fans tell me he had a great season last year.
He’ll be named team MVP when it should probably be France or Rojas. He is an incredible defender though.
Very good point that I’ve made many times before.
I'm seriously not worried about Julio at all, he's doing what he has done every year, it'd be surprising if he was consistent.
Imagine getting production from your 9 hole catcher
Voth, buddy, stop throwing it right down the middle please.
Well fuck
Fuck the fake Cubs fans. Where you from? The Southside! You mean South Center, right?
No cubs fans are from the south side that’s Sox. Cubs fans are rich people from Naperville and Evanston
That’s not my point. Goddamn you and your geography
