I’m watching the Masters by default because can’t see the Mariners on TV out here in Ohio

Consider yourself lucky. Go Reds!

Brian Anderson taken out of the game after he singles in the 3rd. Isiah Gilliam replaces him.

If you only score 7 runs in a three game weekend series, you should count yourself lucky to win 1 of the games, which is what they managed to do.

Right now, the whole division is up for grabs and it just seems like nobody wants it

The double play rally killer strikes again

 

[NWinAZ]

Mr DP does it again! Twice today.

I see France is up to his old tricks. He has grounded into 2 inning ending double plays this game.

I chimed in before seeing the two above replies.

You use your $400M franchise player as a 9th inning, two out pinch runner instead of pinch hitter...and he gets picked off via replay.

Pack it up boys.

Why was Julio trying to get back to first base on the third pick off attempt you just break for second base if the pitcher throws to the first baseman and you’re not picked off it’s a balk. And you get second base automatically. What the hell did they do wrong? I couldn’t watch the play?

The new most Mariners way to lose:

Just contract your pathetic "franchise" already.

Just canceled my Fubo subscription, last day is Apr 28.

Unless the M's prove they have a collective pulse by then, I'll be switching to an MLB subscription and devoting my fandom to the Orioles. They've been my 2nd fav team for 30 years and fuck the Yankees, so I'll have a couple of things to root for.

Dumbest running blunder ever.

you don’t wait to go dive to first when the pitcher tries to pick you off for the third time. the moment he comes Set you just break for second base even if he throws it to the first baseman you’ve got such a Headstart there’s no time to throw you out at second base And even if they did the fact that he didn’t pick you off at first base and threw over there you get second base automatically. How could they screw that up?

The good news.. they're no longer leading the AL in SO's. That belongs to the A's.
The bad news... they have pretty much identical stats as the A's all around.

I switch to YTT for Turner so I can watch some NBA games.. contemplated switching back to Fubo for Root but now I see no reason to. This team made it very easy to decide. I still might switch back once NBA season is over mainly because Fubo carries more sports and soccer.

Yeah, you know what, that really was the last straw. This will never be a proper team if they're allowed to make these boneheaded moves and find new ways to lose.

I hope they never fill another seat until proper management comes in and takes over, even if it's a bunch of chat forum people who know their numbers that barge in and force changes...at this point, I really would prefer a coup d'sport.

Until then, though, at least one good thing comes out of the way it ended: I now have a fitting image to make this:

My new pfp, too, once I go into my profile.

 

[cezero]

A lot can happen in the next couple weeks, so who knows. And I'll come back if they play themselves into contention later. I just want ahead and paid for mlb for a month anyway. I'm itching to follow a good team.

The Mariners are averaging the third-fewest runs in MLB, are 0-10 when trailing after the 6th inning and 0-9 when the other team scores first.

“They gave us an opportunity to take the game and the series -- and we just didn't go grab it.”

Was it the third attempt? Honestly don't know even though I was watching it.

My question regarding the rule would be does the third attempt mean just pickoff or does a rundown still count as the pickoff? I would assume the rundown counts because otherwise you would never throw over the third time because the runner would just take off.

That was Servais talking, wasn't it?

Just say there's a bus outside and you really want to throw some players under it!

What the hell is this?
