----------------------------------

No lineup for the (AAA)stros posted yet, but we're facing a pitcher with nearly a 9.00 ERA.

I'm tuning in just for the hilarity of it all.

Almonte never deserves a day off because he has been that good huh

well yeah, and plus nothing screams "LEADOFF HITTER" like leading the league in strikeouts.

also, being in the "top" 30 for lowest OBP is also clearly indicative of a leadoff guy.

You know it's pretty bad when he goes 1-4 in a game and his average actually goes up.

The sad part is this is true for most of our lineup.

Considering that only 14,000 showed up to see Felix pitch last night, I wouldn't be surprised if the Mariners crack sub 10,000 tonight. What is the lowest attendance recorded in Safeco Field?

According to this, it was 9,818 against Baltimore at a game in late April last year.

Interesting. I think we have a chance to beat that record tonight.

Fun fact for everyone. Since the opening series in which we swept the Angels and scored 26 runs in 3 games, the Mariners have only scored more than 3 runs in 5 games.

During our 7 game losing streak we are avering 2.29 runs per game.

Have a good night everyone. Will be on later to join the conversation about our wonderful team.

I think 9808 set last year is still the record low. We will challenge that this year.

The 9818 record was broken the same year at 9808 vs Houston. I attached the article above.

M's are going to lose, just putting that out there.

Finally! Something that we can achieve as a team. I think if we can get Howie to throw out a first pitch we could shatter the record.

 

[Logicallylethal]

Tonight will be the night we break our skid! I'm running mighty low on koolaid but I'm still drinkin it.

 

[Tapey]

Good start from erasmo.

GAME OVER

Then again, why expect anything different from this team of QUITTERS?
