Julio is completely lost at the plate. Four strikeouts now. Not even really close to hitting anything. Swinging at everything.

He’s an absolute shit show at the dish, and pretty much has been for the majority of the season

And the fans scream and holler when he goes to the plate. What a let down this year. Maybe he will do like last season and get hot at the end Key word being "maybe"

no matter ..
but adds enough .that pitchers can't .

Welcome Back.

This team is so frustrating. At times look like they could make it to the WS then other they are typical Mariners.

If they played like that against Detroit, it would be two straight series sweeps.

Hou destroyed Boston, sadly… BUT dam, M’s scored 12 today, not too shabby …

Welcome Back.

Julio WTF dude ! Maybe his timing is off from the layoff and injury, but he’s gotta start showing something at some point down the homestretch …

 

[Destroydacre]

Sucks that the biggest takeaway for me from a 12-1 win in which they swept a series where they gave up 1 run is that Julio k'd 5 times. Just wtf are you doing up there?

What bothers me is that it was reported he bugged management to let him play today. So was it about the team or him? I don't like that.

Hopefully he’s just wanting to get out there and help the team, hopefully that’s where he is mentally and what he’s thinking … On the flip side he can hurt the team trying to come back too quickly ..

Not only did he strike out five times but his swing and miss ratio is off the chart.

he just doesn’t even get a piece of the baseball hardly ever.

Every single swing he takes is for the fences. irregardless of the count, irregardless of the situation and irregardless of the location of the pitch.

That is just simply not a proven approach to be successful at the plate.
