Should have looked at who was coming up. Ack and Zun doing what they do best.

I don't mind ackley coming up, but zunino has become an automatic out

 

[SeattleCoug]

Zunino sees 5 pitches out of the strike zone and swings at 3.

This is ridiculous... My faith rating for them prior to the postseason beginning was an 8... Now it's no more than a 5... What a disappointment so far... First time in a long time i've had high expectations for these guys and they're letting me down... Not saying we can't turn it around but they're showing no signs of doing so so far, which makes it harder to maintain my level of hope... I was planning on a trip to see the M's but I cancelled... Not going to pay to watch these guy's until they show some signs of life...

Yeah... I thought we'd see a new Zunino this year but he's definitely become an automatic out for the most part... Seems like he, Miller and Lomo are two automatic outs for this team....

Chris Taylor can't come back fast enough...

Ackley has been one of our best hitters... I'm glad when he get's up compared to 80% of the rest of our roster...

 

[Anointed One]

8 hits and we only have 1 run to show for it... Ugh...

So what does Lloyd do when zunino comes up with a runner in scoring position in the 9 th?

 

[Itsmytime]

Wow when things are bad, things ARE really fucking bad.

You'd think we would get used to losing mariners baseball, it doesn't get easier for some reason

 

[WizardHawk]

It's one thing to lose to a top NL team in their house playing their rules, but it's quite another losing at home to the lowly rump rangers.

 

[Msfann]

This is why most of the fans are so skeptical when the season starts or the team signs someone because the mariners always do this kinda lame ass crap.

every freaking season its always something like this.

 

[NWinAZ]

We are who we are. Get use to it. Management does just enough to satisfied the fanbase, but it always comes up short on what it takes to win on the field. I stopped being man some time ago and am usually not even upset with what I see because I come to expect it. Bad way to be a fan, but M's have made me this way.

On to the next game.

 

[cezero]

Yeah, NW. I've seen it all with this team. Well, except for anything resembling long-term success. When it comes to emotional investment, I've given at the office and then some.

The offense is what it is, and is what it has been for more than a decade. Good for Happ for going out and playing like a pro. I figured he'd like Safeco.

 

[SeattleCoug]

Yeah... I thought we'd see a new Zunino this year..

It's worse. At least last year he could hit a fastball. When I saw Peguero pinch hit and work a full count I thought to myself man even Peguero has more plate discipline. That's saying a lot right!

 

[cezero]

It's worse. At least last year he could hit a fastball.

It's grotesque.

 

[SeattleCoug]

The whole wait for the home run type of offense doesn't work at Safeco. See 2013. I figured Z's 7 year plan would have figured that out by now but I guess not. Happ looks like he should slide into the "Chris Young" role just fine which is all we can ask.

Mariners baseball ... We should all be used to it after 15 years of mediocracy .... We haven't been in the playoffs since 2001 ... And think about this, We only had to be better than 3 teams in the last 15 years to win the division... Well 4 now since they added Houston a couple years back... BUT STILL that's pretty #@$^ing bad .... Just show's how inept this front office an ownership has been ... I still think this team will start playing better though before it's all said and done... But right now things are not flowing at all... I''ll wait until July to really judge though...
