Series Thread: Mariners crucial 'road trip thread' TX - SD - LAA

[MarinersBestFan]

I honestly think the rest of the season may hinge on the outcome of this road trip.

Playing 1 very good team ( TEX ) and 2 pretty good teams in SD and LAA.

Obvious 2/3 are division opponents and both are ahead of us in the standings.

Its time to sack up and put on their working boots and get some.

I am still a believer, but this is the few game stretch I need to see something to inspire me watching the 2023 M's play and win some tough games on the road when it really really matters.

If we can stroll back to Seattle in 10 days with a record around 5 games over .500 that will be an uplifting thing that can get them to develope some attitude and start playing games like the season depends on it.

The talents is definitely NOT there, but attitude can get guys playing above their potential just like countless players are playing far below their potential currently.

They absolutely need to start scoring more runs and playing smarter ball on both sides ( off and def )

Mariners are a Top-shelf Financial Success. But on the Field?

Baseball fans know well the hoary bromide that player payroll does not automatically convey success. But those in Seattle, with considerable justification, ask: We’ve tried it one way for 47 …

Never mind, Woo up and Marco to the IL. Was hoping for a trade for a bat since Dipoto and Hollander and have both made public statements on trading for a bat the past few days.

Maybe Woo is being shown in order to trade him next month. I hope not, but sounds very Mariner-like.

Pollock feelings hurt when you are a veteran and they bring up a kid fresh from AAA because he is hitting .161 after nearly 100 at bats this season.

Hell you can bunt your way to a .161 average, total embarrassment to be a a DH and you cannot climb your way to the Mendoza line after 2 full months of baseball.

I remember they did that with Cruz Jr but got peanuts for him. I know you hate the Lowe and Varitek trade but that one was right up there with terrible deals.

No offense, but you guys need some serious upgrades on offense in order to not waste such great pitching.

Ya this message needs to be directed to one Jerry DIPoto. We are all bitched out on here regarding that.

I can literally still remember exactly where I was when they announced the Cruz Jr. trade. If not for the fact I was so shocked, I may have cried.

Another free out given up by this team. No excuse for cabby getting that out

How many mariners are going to be picked off running like idiots tonight? 2 for 2 so far and its only the third inning.

 

[NWinAZ]

We definitely do things are own way. How many teams can say they got a hit and a hit batter in the same inning and ended the inning without a baserunner, a run, nor a double play? Well played my friends. Well played.

Castillo got out of that trouble just in time

So our pitching has given up 1 run in the last 16 innings, but...

You guys need hitters like we need relievers at the deadline.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Gotta say, as a Rangers fan I fear the Mariners much more than the Angels.

Louis did his job. Can't say the same about our pathetic hitters
