Series Thread: Final Roadtrip Before The Break

[MarinersBestFan]

Slipping away, one game at a time ….

 

[WizardHawk]

Given how bad they open up after the break most years and now open with 3 against the stros, I'm really not looking forward to it. It's not going to be pretty.

 

[AceKeptic]

Yep, we've quit.

 

[WizardHawk]

limping into the break like a boss

 

[NWinAZ]

Couldn't just win this after the stros lost so they could insure 1st place at the break. Instead, crappy defensive error lets another winnable game get away.

Lazy JP. I am growing tired of him.

 

[NWinAZ]

We are 15-11 when we score in the first inning.

 

[NWinAZ]

I got some bad news for you. We are 1.5 games out of the wildcard. Division or bust.

Houston 1 game out ..
Interesting..to see..if mariners hang..
Onto it now .till..the break.

We can go to 10 games back in the division just as quick as we blew that 10 game lead

I got a bad feeling about the second half; post ASG

I just am not seeing a ball club that consistently produce offense on a nightly basis and can manufacture the 5+ runs to stay competitive and have a chance at winning more than 50% of their games

Nothing is going to correct the strikeout ratio of our hitters and I use that term very very loosely.

The front office has comprised a team of guys who are prone to striking out and have no discipline can’t recognize pitches can’t work themselves into good counts and just simply are not contact hitters

I feel..ok about..what the mariners..
Are without trades .
And..
I don't think.there are really that maney good..trades..
Out there...2 or 3 ...4 or 5 at most..and I would have to dig deeper..

But the problem..is squandering..the good..pitching...if owners .do..that..
And not add..bats...

They may as well...sell...
Cuz you tell..the fan base....you will never.
Winn ..as long as you are owner.....

Fans throw there hands. In the air..
And .walk away..

Gilby needs to be the all-star ace this team can anchor on today.

Hate the All-Star game really, but feel bad he can't pitch in it.

Munez might get a chance

Munez might get a chance

And I am happy for him as well, but Gilbert making that call to his parents deserved a better ending.

We would all choose him closing them out to the break with a win though. Would love to see him in one of the three against the stros after, but I doubt they do any changes to the rotation order outside of giving Woo an extra rotation break if they feel he needs it.

Julio k's on a breaking ball low and away...

If I'm Scott, I'd have Julio look at at least 200 breaking balls low and away in a cage during the break. Stay until he can lay off the ones out of the zone at the very minimum, more or less make some contact ffs.

 

[WizardHawk]

Rangers won.
M's end up

their way to holding onto 1st place at the break.

 

[WizardHawk]

lol at letting a relief pitcher face the minimum through 3 innings against your pathetic offense.

 

[WizardHawk]

2 walks and a hit batter. Bases loaded with 2 outs. Still 0 hits in the game.
Angeles are trying to give you the lead. Stop refusing their hospitality.
