Game over.

No way the Mariners score 7 runs, even if you gave them 18 innings to do it.

Nice out on the bases down 6. That's our team. Slow and stupid

The amount of mistakes this team has been making is ridiculous. Ridiculously sloppy play by the Mariners.

There have only been two recorded errors, but there have been numerous mistakes made already. Once again, that's on Lloyd. This team really needs to work on the fundamentals, which is really saying something considering that this is a major league team.

Looking more like a team of freshmen playing college baseball.

I just heard a M's commercial where they say it isn't just watching baseball (or something alike) but watching 4 decades of tradition. Losing is considered a tradition? Wowza!

It is, after all, the only tradition we have.

When it rains - it pours... Seager w/ 3 errors in 2 games... Montgomery has come down to earth... He's given up 5 plus runs in 3 of his last 4 games, while only getting through no more than 5 innings in those 3 games as well..

Matinee game was tied at 2-2 in the bottom of the 9th last I looked online. Somehow, our bats managed to show up to tie after falling early.

Okay this is a new one for me in the 'what is Lloyd thinking' discussion.

2 outs in the 11th with Cano on 2B and Trumbo on 1B and Lloyd pinch runs Ackley for Trumbo (the back runner) when Ackley was the only bench player left in an extra inning game. Huh? Of course Logan pops up to the infield on the first pitch so move wasted and now bench gone.

But in fairness to Lloyd, he was, and did, bring in Rodney for the bottom of the inning so he probably knew a bench wouldn't be needed anyways since game will be over.

Zunino can't lay down sac bunt in 12th, then doubles in Taylor for lead. SMH!

Go figure... As they say, "I bet he couldn't do that again"...

 

[Anointed One]

All in all, as much as we bash these guys, today was a very good win... We've been losing these 1 run games so it's nice to get one ourselves... Only giving up 2 runs to the Tigers in 12 innings at home is pretty impressive...

I didn't catch the game, but read this, lol'd and could totally see him doing something like that.

Exactly!!! I initially thought Trumbo had gotten hurt or something. LMC has some head scratching moments, a lot of them are little things like these where you just think to yourself "hmm?, ok?... interesting?" LOL

Just Lloyd being Lloyd. Also kept the bunt on for Jackson on a 2-0 count with a guy already in scoring position. Why give up an AB with a guy on 2nd for one chance at a sac fly. Especially for team that can't make productive outs anyway. Maybe Lloyd will someday realize that this isn't 1950 anyway more and bunting is stupid, let alone in hitters counts

 

[NWinAZ]

But Lloyd will get paid $1M next year...wow!

Hope not, because that'll mean he's our manager.

That is what his contracts calls for so I don't see him going anywhere this year.
