Series Thread: M's Homestand: April 26th - May 1st

One would think that the freaking hitting coach would tell Dumbass Julio to quit swinging for the fences when he’s got two strikes on him

If you’re batting over .300 and you’re not leading the league in strikeouts then it’s OK to swing for the fences with two strikes, but he’s far from either

It’s just kills me to watch him swinging out of his socks on every freaking hack he takes

Just a complete wasted at bat every single time he does that game after game after game

.167 hitting 3rd in the lineup.

That's normal right?

We have to have the most absolute gutless weak top of the order lineup ever put out in major league baseball history

I bet when we’re on the road and other teams, get a look up there and see our stats. They just start laughing and making jokes in the stands and Dugout

First inning, three outs, all strikeouts, big surprise

Jrod swings at low and away every time.

Every fucking time

 

[WizardHawk]

I picked on Garver yesterday and he hit a walk off. Pointed out Polanco and he drove in 2.

I just have to get meaner I guess.

 

[megalodon30]

Of course we score some runs against a dude that came into the day with a 0.72 ERA…

 

[WizardHawk]

FFS. I hate Julio up with RISP

 

[WizardHawk]

Castillo with a gem and Stanek immediately lets them back in it

 

[WizardHawk]

Shit. Asking Muni to get 5 outs?

 

[WizardHawk]

jfc

Bases loaded Likely going to walk in the tying run

This one’s getting away quickly

Well, I’ll take that comment back

Munoz made some pretty good pitches that inning. But he made one hell of a terrible throw to first base that’s for damn sure.

 

[megalodon30]

This team is determined to give the fans a heart attack just about every game...

 

[MarinersBestFan]

Jesus Christ Garver get the damn bat off your shoulder. He watched three sliders for called strike one strike two strike three didn’t even think about swinging at any of them at any time.

I pretty much hate Julio 90% of his at bats

It’s beginning to look a lot like the Mariners got flamboozled in that mega deal.

It seriously confuses me why a Hitter will completely abandon the thought of making contact with the ball in hopes of hitting it 400 feet.

He just might get so fucked up and his approach he may not ever be able to do anything else other than just swing for the fences and be a 250 average hitter who may or may not hit more than 10 or 15 home runs ever due to his lack of being able to make contact with the ball.

Put his ass at number 7-8 or nine in the order that’s pretty much where he belongs,
Until he shows that he can have some productive at bats and put a ball in play

It's not him, it's this staff. They have no approach. No direction. No teaching.

 

[WizardHawk]

Take that win though. Keep it up as long as you can.

[WizardHawk]

Hey, the Lastros reached double digits in wins.

 

[MarinersBestFan]

Julio

One single home run in 117 at bats

He is on pace to hit five or six home runs this season.

It’s starting to look like the no fly zone needs to be renamed the no bomb zone

 

[cezero]

okay

He really hasn't been the same since his injury that rookie season, the Home Run Derby.
Whatever happened to him there has really messed him up...and they signed him to how much a year?
