Why in the fuck would they play Aoki to pull?

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

No outs bases loaded and we only get 1 run on a walk... LOL....

I was just about to post that same thing... Tha phuck ... game should a been put away right there, but this is Mariners baseball, where they find way's to lose..

 

[Anointed One]

Well, 4 runs in a total of 30 innings is embarrassing...

Just our luck, Paxton strikes out two tonight and both of them reach base with a WP...

You mean Aoki's spray chart doesn't show that he's a dead pull hitter? Who knew? Not like Servais managed him last year or anything.

We're 3 games in and I'm already sad

 

[Banned 10x]

Good news is we've got Miranda on the mound tomorrow then Gallardo.

I'll see you guys tomorrow

 

[Cloud]

Well guys we are 3 games in and it feel like this team is in midseason form already. Finding ways to lose is the M's way.

I'm seeing the same lack of killer instinct that has been plaguing them since 2004.

Also, it looks like the bullpen is going to be a work in progress again this year. The BP, Peralta in particular, cost us a lot of April and May games last year.

I was willing accept not hitting Keuchel or McCullers. However looking bad against a 33 year old journeyman who was hurt last year is sad. Whatever happened to control the zone? 34 Ks in 3 games? Everyone looks like they are trying to hit a 5 run homer up there. Yes it's early but if the approach doesn't change I fear an early April hole

When we going Turkey hunting?

Friday, April 20th. All the stoners will be getting getting high and I'll be hunting.

I don't see how Morton has been such a shitty pitcher his entire career based on what I saw yesterday. He had a 96 mph fastball and an above average curve with good command. I don't mind too much that the Mariners didn't hit him very well. What bugs the shit out of me is Devenski no-hitting them for four innings and striking out 7 batters. And then, as other posters previously said, not capitalizing on four walks in the top of the 13th.

David Sims, usually a dumbass, called it. In the top of the 13th he mentioned that De Jong would need a nice cushion and the opportunity presented itself to give the kid a cushion, but the Mariner hitters failed to deliver...again.

That Martin at bat was infuriating.

I'm not too worried, on paper this team should be much better than our teams of the recent past. But would it kill these guys to start out hot for once? They still can.

They could turn this 0-3 record into 10-3 and everyone will forget about this series. Do eet!

I always say when it comes to baseball you gotta wait until like July to really see where a team stands, so many games... BUT it's a bad start out of the gate for sure.... I think Mariners baseball fans just expect mediocracy, were so dam used to it now... Last year did give this team some hope though, decent year last year ...

After 3 games vs Astros, Mariners batting .145, have 1 player above .167 (Segura .267) and are 1-for-27 with RISP. Tough to win that way.
