Series Thread: M's in Oakland, 4/10-12

REEK, REEK, it rhymes with WEEKS.

Okay, not quite, but whatever.

I know it's early but Weeks is already the guy that you want to just pull your hair out when he is up to bat. Brings absolutely nothing to the team (ok, they are finally at least trying him in the OF) but seriously what is he on the team for? It's not veteran leadership, it's not potential, defensive specialist, not a power hitter or a base stealer...it's literally because he is a body Jack knows that can platoon supposedly.

0-3 already.

Please offense, please. Do your jobs.

Not much the offense can do if they only have 1 inning to do any work, walker right now is getting smashed out there from what the updates are giving me so far hes given up 4 hits on 3 RBIs in 1 inning? its more like please pitching please do your job

No, it's more like offense please do your job. 7 runs in 3 games is going to be a losing proposition unless your pitching staff has a collective 2.30 ERA.

Not rocket science to figure out the biggest problem for the team this year, or for the past 1500+ games. Thanks.

It's too late. They're already dead.

Game over.

 

[cezero]

lol, ace

i'm not ready to go there quite yet

this sucks, though

 

[Itsmytime]

I don't care if it's only the 4th game, this team is really starting to piss me off.

 

[unlvmariners]

This is the first day during the season I made some bets on MLB. I bet on the M's today also. Usually try not to bet on the Mariners.

I made a dogshit bet.... Good to see Walker taking care of business

 

[cezero]

fuck

are you blind right now this game is basically over because walker is out here giving up runs left and right not to mention the 5 runs kuma gave up the last game nobody here is looking up what the problem was 1500 games ago right now pitching has given up 10 runs in 12 innings

 

[cezero]

are you blind

you're super smart

take care

 

[seattlefan75]

you're super smart

take care

im taken care of its you im worried about but then again your not my concern take it easy

Man I cannot stand the way Zunino gives away at bats. Im trying to be patient about it but it's damn hard

 

[cezero]

sad that it's only 4 games in, and i already have little hope that this lineup will do much to put a dent in this deficit.

i won't draw conclusions yet, but it's very frustrating. i can't imagine what it's like for a youngster pitching, either, knowing that if you make any mistakes, your teammates probably won't do jack shit to pick you up. felix has gotten used to it. let's hope that paxton and walker don't have to get too used to it.

it's so bad

i'm all for giving him more time, but the work he did in spring with being patient has just gone completely away. 95+ down the middle taken for a strike. offspeed. offspeed. offspeed. out. wash rinse repeat.

 

[EVille3]

Offense frustrating yet again...not helping that they are spotting teams 5 runs in back to back games

 

[Msfann]

Just one time I wish we could start off a season without having to say "but its only been a few games so don't worry yet".

They started off with a sweep last year and were 5-2

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

What's the record for the fewest runs collectively scored first 5 games?

 

[cezero]

astros scored zero in the first 3 games this year, i think

silver linings? fuck.
