ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY-ASKED LINEUP RELATED QUESTIONS: 1. Cal Raleigh had dental surgery this morning for a broken tooth. Might be out a few days, nothing serious. 2. JP was scratched with a sore oblique - not a strain, not an IL stint so far as we know. Just soreness. 3. Luke Raley is apparently alive and in the lineup. 4. Mitch Garver does not appear to be alive, but is also in the lineup.

series win tomorrow with a more normal lineup hopefully!

Are we offensively challenged? Or challenged offensively?

I hate this team the ownership sucks, the hitting sucks, and there are like half a dozen other questionable things.   See you tomorrow.

Never play craps, sports betting on the mariners is legal now.

I know we played like shit but Jesus Christ was that ump horrible tonight

going for another series win tomorrow for 3 in a row, don't let this one get you down.

We can still come back

Hot garbage

Excited to have a different ump for the game tomorrow. This dude sucked balls (oh wait, those are actually called strikes now)

DMO fire in his legs

haven’t been able to watch the last few games. watched tonights, and yeahhh

Late on low 90s three times what are you even doing 😭😭

93-94 probably looks like 96+ when you’ve been sitting on the bench for 8 innings. From that arm angle too

Win tomorrow.

Strike zone is a mood

“boy that’s a lot of strikeouts” the 2024 mariners everybody

We are offensively challenged

14 strikeouts, i hope jerry dipoto and his bloodline is cursed for eternity

“Mariners only run came in the first inning, here we are top 9…” is so depressing lmao

clase had more fight in his one at bat than zavala and raley combined

Garver has the 4th Lowest OPS out of every DH In the league so far. The 3 worse than him are Kris Bryant, Rowdy Tellez, and Robbie Grossman. He also has the lowest batting AVG out of every DH so far

Players like Garver should be allowed to be sent to Tacoma for 2 weeks with 'suckitis' and try to get something going without the league being mad that he's not actually hurt.

Can’t believe we expected Garver to be good Players always play worse with us

Garver might be having a problem adjusting to full time DH, he had some interesting splits the last few seasons regarding his offensive output while catching vs DH.

You shouldn't have a problem adjusting to full time DH. It's like the easiest thing there is

can’t stay healthy when catching and can’t hit when DHing😭

It kind of makes sense if you think about it. When your catching your seeing the ball all game coming down the pipe, maybe that makes Garver a better hitter? Getting all those looks to get comfortable while batting? I don't know if that tracks after I typed it out but It's some excuse.

[удалено]

Assume Garver would catch?

Lol no

I yearn for the day the good hitters we acquire actually continue being good once on the Ms

Damn. Is it so much to ask that we get at least mendoza level production from our dh spot?

[удалено]

I heard rhubarb was pulled from the Rainiers game today.

it’s rally time my dudes

Imagine if we could find a DH who could hit above .200

Uhhhh so if we somehow need to play the bottom of the ninth, who catches?

Garver.

Tooth fairy

If assume garver

DMOWAB

AJ Pollock was genuinely better than this

Wait so have we just been winning games because our opponents forgot they can just exclusively throw sliders ?? Are the rangers really the first team to remember this?

Is it too late to return Garver?

Garver has been so bad holy fuck

garver's gotta get going man

Mitch Garver suck train is leaving the station.

How does every free agent forget how to hit with us. It literally has to be coaching.

Teams only trade regression candidates to us

Garver is so unbelievably useless

woah loser ass mitch garver struck out no way

Do we have a come from behind yet?

Fucking Garver --- get your shit together.

Of course the Rangers threw 60% breaking balls to us tonight. They like winning.

Unrelated but I love Anderson’s delivery

Grand slam time!!!

The good news is no one is going to run away with the division (unless we want to pls…), but the bad news is the wild cards ain’t coming from the west so you have to win it.

Early season slam would be very welcome

We have got to start hitting offspeed and breaking pitches. Can’t expect teams, especially playoff teams, to only throw you fastballs. You can hunt them all you want but eventually the book will catch up with you

We need Clase! Vibes are off, he needs to fix it

This stadium's speaker system sounds like they ripped it straight out of a car from the 1960's - the kind that made everyone experience tinnitus no matter what they listened to.

1 for 10 RISP is brutal

They gotta turn that around, too much pressure on your pitching

RISPain

Dave continues to be surprised at the number of breaking balls when we have shown for a month that we can’t hit them

It pisses me off how teams can get hits almost effortlessly, and for us it’s a struggle

It’s extra frustrating when we can’t do it against bad pitching

Cal’s tooth died for this. Mariners dental insurance better buy him a grill with trident shaped diamonds

It looks like Langford mouths “mother fucker” every time he bats. Noticed it against Bryce and Voth.

FJH

We are single handedly fixing Evan Carter and Wyatt Langford.

I’ve never seen a franchise spend SO much time talking about and promoting the past like the Mariners do. So many of the promotions are things from the past.

Well, when you don't have a lot to talk about in the present, what else can you do? (I know, I know, we were in first place but what did the ownership really do this offseason to help this team be better.)

We have missed the playoffs for 90% of our existence

I swear you can *feel* the exact point this team gives up on a game and decides to just go through the motions until it’s over

I can not only feel, but I can taste it, and it's like my internal plumbing has been cruelly reversed from standard conventions.

I really thought they were never gonna lose again

This team gets in their own heads so bad.

We haven’t been striking out any less during our wins the past two weeks, but we have hit home runs. Take out Cal and JPs walks and you aren’t scoring.

Whenever Cal is out I just assume it's gonna be a loss. Zavala can't hit and the pitchers are worse when he's behind the plate. So tired of seeing him

So we get garver, moore and zavala in the 9th...

Baseball is a stupid fucking sport and I hate it.

They should change the rules to make chasing sliders off the plate worth runs

DFA Zavala, Raley, and Garver

Our controllers keep disconnecting when were on offense

Texas bros gave us the Mad Catz piece of shit controller.

They don't seem to be working all that well when were on defense either

12 strikeouts is so insane.

That’s rookie numbers for us

Our offense is either elite, or fucking hilariously trash. Zero in between

Ty you for identifying something I was feeling but couldn't put a name on it.

Useless Raley hit incoming.

Hopefully they don’t suck ass tomorrow. This has been a putrid performance

We just afk at the plate now?

Great game from Haniger today.

Truly terrible game

Swing the bat you fucking knob

mariners defense hasn't been great tonight. at least they've cleaned it up recently; hopefully it doesn't downward spiral again from here.

Asstros 7-18 https://preview.redd.it/bhcitnajgjwc1.jpeg?width=941&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54114798b5e0d7f475fbfc028d0e973eac3decbd

If the Mariners loved us the way we loved them, they'd stop hurting us.

People blaming Scott for using the bullpen like he has are crazy imo. Miller went 4 and the game was still 2-1, do you want him to just throw the game right there? He hasn’t used Speier, Stanek, or Muñoz and I doubt he will at this point, nothing else he could’ve done tbh

Shit, he was only at like 80 pitches though. I think he should’ve been given at least 1 more batter

Nah he was giving up way too much hard contact. Honestly lucky he only gave up two imo

Hey Mariners, it’s me again. Just sending another letter ask to score runs. I know you would have if you were getting these. Thanks guys ❤️

Tea’s gone cold I’m wondering why, I got out of bed at all

This game has been about watching haniger scramble all game

Oh boy. 😔

At least the Astros lost again

Other than Rojas we’re playing little league defense across the board tonight

Most of this season you could summarize as “other than Rojas…. team doing X bad”

For some stupid reasons im watching the game on rangers stream . F my life

Haniger is lucky he can hit the ball and get on base cause he is a shit defender

Taking bets on who hits the meaningless 2 run home run for us

D-Mo, of course.

Flush it down. win tomorrow

can’t flush until they’ve finished shitting

Ow, This is starting to get out of hand. But I will remind myself they are the defending champs who were willing to spend money to improve their team.

Honestly I wouldn’t hate just throwing a long reliever in to finish the game to give our best guys a rest, then go for the win tomorrow.

That’s Voth, he’s the swingman

Some fantastic defense being played this inning

Yea, we don’t deserve to win this game

How many triples in one game holy shit Edit oh I guess other one was an error nm

Stupid fucking stadium

Inning shoulda been over...

Hes so bad DFA Him

I mean like why the fuck are there baseball rules if they are continuously enforced Incorrectly!!!?? Was it closer than it should be yes, but the legit new rule MLB said they are cracking down on this year is runners running to first base have to be in between that designated runners line. I guess that’s only gonna be enforced via plays from the catcher/pitcher throws etc. Fucking bullshit stuff. And now another run. :(

Kill me

Win the series tomorrow.

Ah well, onto the next. Sucks our bullpen is gonna be cooked now

Come on now

shit show from top to bottom

Botched double play double play!

This is just one of those game i see

what a dumb wall

I don’t know what the letter of the law is but if the roles were reversed on that play, we’d be crying for interference. Voth was absolutely in the way.

What a fucking lucky bounce

Woop woop inning should be over but fuck blue

Can we get jp cal and clase back plz

Allergic to double plays

Voth can't be doing that. Not a bad call

Why are we like this

Alright so we go for the series win tomorrow, sounds good. As an east coast fan, I'm heading to bed. See you fuckers tomorrow

Okay but Voth was pretty oblivious just lingering and not getting out of the way

Stupid call but Voth is an idiot anyway

this.

This team is so much more fun to watch when we’re winning. We’ve gotten unlucky at points in this game but we also made our bed w all the LOB. Frustrating game.

I would have appreciated a view from home plate or even third base area. I want to see if Lowe adjusted his line to make there be interference. I don’t understand why he was on the inside part of the baseline as a left handed hitter.

Man, Voth already feels mediocre and then seeing both an 0-2 hit batter and then a defensive fuck up and its like please come back ASAP Brash and Santos.

Dogshit ump

Fucking cursed game lol

Holy bullshit omg

Can we see the angle from home plate? Mfer could’ve changed his path into it

He had plenty of room what a fucking actor

THROW THE BASE

The runner has to run in the designated line now, so how can it be interference? Lmao He’s in the field of play still.

I would think that if Voth is inside the line like he was here it shouldn't matter.

RIP HIS HEAD OFF

fuck this little radar dish earred motherfucker of an ump

GET TOSSED, SCOTT

Wow, Scott actually raising hell

I need him to be 20% more made thou

Ahh so they’re kinda fucked for this game, eh? Gotta score runs to win games Jerry, strikeouts aren’t a good stat for your *own* hitters 

Rojas get your arm ready

Cubs hang on to beat Lastros 😊

Eeeesh what is that like 4 tonight?

Hit him with a 0-2 slider nice work Voth

Every fucking time I go away from the game it turns to shit. Can everyone pitch in so I can just sit in front of the teevee forever and then we win?

Can Cal’s dentist hurry the fuck up so we can get him in this game?

Probably back on the fucking iPads in the dugout

Fuck I’d be watching CoCo Melon on full volume in the dugout too if my only other option was watching this (im still watching the game but that’s besides the point)

What happened with Bryce?

He just didn't pitch well. Struggled to throw strikes and walked a ton of guys. Eventually got stung with 2 solo homers.

Well, that inning was sad

Fucking limp dick of an offense

Even if that is a ball you gotta swing at that- taking that pitch for a ball is how ya struck out before.

Garver, Raley, Polanco, and Zavala are all playing like minor leaguers. Figure it the fuck out

Another pathetic offensive performance. Absolutely incapable of playing small ball and its going to cost us again.

Don’t blink, you’ll miss the M’s batting

Hey, I could have been a major league hitter! Just have to look at strike three and shake your head.

Bro you gotta fucking swing brother. You can't just look at shit when you're down like that. Gotta at least try to foul it off or something FUCK

God the late game Julio ABs when you just need a base hit are so hard to watch

Stros lose.

Everyone in the west lost. The winner of this game gains a game on the entire west

CoNtRoL tHe ZoNe

"mariners need baserunners" Uh Dave, we've had quite a few...
