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

[Itsmytime]

So what was supposed to be a strength of this team has been just as bad as the weakness of the team.

started behind in all 4 games. hard path to world series.

 

[cezero]

see you all tomorrow.

i have a pre-set time before i go negative on here. don't want to get there too early. take care.

The BABIP gods are definitely with the As today. However it doesn't excuse walkers pitching and the bad plate approach from the hitters.

The Mariner way.

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

silver linings? fuck.

Astros through 4 games so far (yet to finish #4) have 8 runs. So we're below them as of now. Yet we've given up a fuck ton lol. 11 runs to the As, good GOD.

You guys act like the sky is falling... It's only 4 games... We're more than likely going to be 1-3... Do you guys think we're going to be playing 1-3 ball the rest of the way? With the way some of you are acting, you'd think we're going to end up 40 wins 122 losses...

Seems like some of you look for opportunities to rip on this team just so you can have something to complain about...

It's frustration from years of inept offense ... It's not just the first 4 games of this season making people feel so frustrated...

Nothing says confidence in a comeback than sitting your superstar (Cano)with 3 innings left to go even though its been less than 4 full games into the season, who cares that its 11-0.

It's all part of a complex strategic push by the Ms so they can say Cano suffered an injury and it's why the offense has been non-existent. They will follow this statement up with a free bobble head 2 for 1 night at the next home stand and ignore fans who bring alcohol into the game.

*Sigh*

 

[NWinAZ]

we are 4th worst in all of baseball in run differential...but it is only 4 games.......so we still have a chance to drop.

but i am not panicking.

 

[Banned 10x]

has it been explained why Weeks is leading off?

 

[Mariners_44]

R-E-L-A-X

I hope they call pull a win out of there ass today against Gray.

 

[Logicallylethal]

It's a long season. We must stay patient and endure.

With that being said...what the hell is going on with this team

If game 1 was the best way to reel fans in and give them hope for the season, these past 3 games have been the absolute classic Mariner way of destroying that hype and steering casual fans on the fence back to their cave of pessimism

Besides Sucre, this is the M's best possible lineup.

 

[cezero]

Gray's a nightmare. Glad there's Masters coverage to flip to when/if things go awry early again.

Today's conditions will be as close to AZ/ST conditions as we've gotten.

Not so sure that is true currently.
