Series Thread: Homestand w/ Nationals & Rays

^ A proposal to rename this sorry franchise, since "floundering" is what they do best.

Just flat out embarrassing... Corbin... With a 5.32 era to begin the day today,... Now he's at 4.98 ERA after the game... He had never allowed less than 2 runs in a start all season... Today, he allows 0 in 7 innings... What a train wreck... And to add more salt into the wound, we lost to the series to the 2nd worst team in the national league...

That's us for ya. The one team in the Majors who REFUSES to compete.

Not enough f-bombs for Servais to drop on them this time, and just as well; their attention span only keeps those words in mind for two games tops.

All any pitching coach needs to tell any pitcher for the rest of the season is "hey, it's just the Mariners".

Tomorrow Jerry needs to come out and have a state of the Mariners address. He needs to fire someone, I’d prefer he would also call out the players and act like his job is on the line during the press conference. Just at least pretend the front office cares.

All jokes aside, This might be the worst hitting M's lineup (so far) I've ever seen in my life time. This coming from an Alvin Davis era. Jerry just seems like a "Snake Oil Salesman" to me...

Everyone… just accept it for what it is. But the fact that they are only 5 games back of the WC is actually gonna give people hope. I don’t have any.

In his last start we scored 10 runs in 3 1/3rd innings off him. Baseball is weird.

Nice to finally have you on the dark side of Mariner fandom.

I’m tired of hearing the broadcast stroke the opposing pitcher as if they really have their stuff today, BULLSHIT…..they have a heartbeat with a throwing arm and that’s all it takes!! We couldn’t hit a ball off a tee right now, and yet somehow we are averaging more runs this year than last. Goes to show how much winning masks the lack of production at the plate. Heads need to roll!

I'm side by side with ya NW...
I've been around way to long watching this FO sell..NOTHING... but gimmick promotions to get soccer moms and their family's in the stands.

I know you have. I always enjoy your posts. You are real and see things with eyes wide open.

At least Seahawks training camp starts in 3-4 weeks... That's something to look forward to...

Team seems flat, uninspired.. Wondering if it’s time for a new Skipper… If the M’s don’t make a little push in the second half of the season and fall way short, a change would be good… I don’t want to jump the gun with so much baseball left, maybe they’ll turn it around, but if they don’t it’s never a good sign when you have momentum like last year then regress the next year ..

It doesn’t necessarily have to be Servais gone but someone needs to go. It isn’t any different than a manager needs to get ejected sometimes for no reason, a team has a brawl for really no reason other than frustration. It just seemed like they quit the other day and with so many young guys you can’t have that attitude, otherwise it is going to spread inwards like it did in I think it was 2008 or 2009 or whatever year it was that the clubhouse imploded and they didn’t recover for years.

Though I am still on board with the fans sacrificing the Moose as an offering to the baseball gods.

And you could be right. How many years did we watch Felix do that? So ya I agree. His stuff is Ace level, but he just hasn't been as sharp. Angie even said during his game that it just needs to throw in and not nibble because his stuff is good enough and she was right.

You're right, it's a mirror image of Felix. She's right that he needs to take command and just throw without worry of what the offense might or might not do.

That is why I rarely watch it. It is meaningless, but whatever.

So undeserving.
