Series Thread: M's At Tigers...Whatever

[NWinAZ]

10th inning, man on 3rd, no outs, and....no home runs so that means we didn't score. #RefuseToWin

 

[Msfann]

Boooooooooooooooooooo!

Now they are a losing team. How fitting.

 

[PolarVortex]

Cishek is going to walk Kinsler for the walk off walk

 

[PolarVortex]

So, we have a completed depleted bullpen and a pitcher on the hill tomorrow who will be lucky to go four innings. The party continues.

 

[NWinAZ]

WOW! Wild pitch walk-off

 

[NWinAZ]

That was a new one even for the M's. 1 out walk, base hit over Seager (playing in SS spot), Smith gets routine ball and throws it to 3B but Seager is still running over there from SS spot and ball goes in stands so 2B and 3B with one out. K's next batter then wild pitches winning run in. #RefuseToWin.

This team is pure garbage right now. This team is disgusting to watch right now. They just give up.

Fucking assholes. Can't remember the last time Cano got a clutch hit that tied the game or put us ahead.

 

[Msfann]

Can we build a hockey arena inside safeco field? I would like to see a real team play there for once. The mariners can play a little league park.

Fucking assholes. Can't remember the last time Cano got a clutch hit that tied the game or put us ahead.

I have said it the whole road trip, their big guys are better than our big guys. Cruz finally does something and it is 2 solo home runs. Cano just stands there with little enthusiasm.

Glad I was at work and missed all the action.

I just don't see the M's skipper doing anything to get this team out of its funk. Where's the passion and the anger? There is no leadership in the dugout and it shows.

Depleted arms? Sure, but it doesn't explain all the lazy swings, Cruz being a ground ball double play machine, Cano not showing that he even cares, and all of the lost opportunities with runners in scoring position and less than 2 outs.

And don't even get started on the weak ass defense and errors in the field.

There just aren't any real bright spots on this roster right now and it doesn't feel like the skipper has the ability to knock any sense into these players and get things turned around. It's like they are just waiting to see if it changes on its own.

8-19 in their last 27 games.
Astros are 20-8 in their last 28 games. That's a 11.5 game swing in the standings.
Rangers are 25-7 in their last 32 games. That's a 14.5 game swing in the standings.

I am at a loss for words but its the same numb feeling I'm used to. Actually was thinking about getting tickets Saturday but dont think I can bring myself to go right now.

Wtf we already lost? Didn't know the game was that early today.

 

[seahawksfan234]

The one god damn fucking year we learn how to hit our pitching goes to shit.

Ain't that just the Mariners for ya?

 

[seahawksfan234]

I didn't catch the game, why in the boxscore does it say that Sampson played but didn't even throw a pitch?

 

[seahawksfan234]

My concern isn't with the players or their health, it's with the management. Servais is a first year manager and I'm not yet convinced he has the skill set to guide them out of this funk. It's the toughest part of managing a baseball team and so far I haven't been impressed with his reactions to any of it. His stars are not appearing to feel any heat, nor are we seeing Cano/Cruz take things on themselves and do something about leading this team.

Without strong leaders in that dugout I'm not convinced they can get where they need to be.

Hope I'm dead wrong.

Cano is an amazing hitter and having a great year, but his lack of hustle infuriates me. This was a problem with the Yankees and still continues to be an issue. Obviously it doesn't impact his stat line too much, but dude fucking sprint to first even if it a clear out.

Bad elbow during warmups so never pitched.

The Mariners never seem to target proven MLB managers, it's alway's a first time managers being given a chance so they save $ .... I"m not totally against that, but if that's all you ever do WTF result do you expect ? I would rather see a team hire proven managers most of the time and every now and then give a rookie manager a shot... Mariners do it the opposite way ...

I can't put this one on the ownership. Dipoto came in and brought his dude with him.
