Sequencing was just really poor the last couple of days. The Casili AB with a runner on 3rd with less then 2 outs was inexcusable. He chased a bad 2-0 pitch then fouled off a pitch down the middle before watching a similar pitch. The Crawford AB i'm not gonna get mad at, he stung a ball right at someone. Even the last two outs of the game Julio and France hit it hard.

Baseball is stupid and makes no sense sometimes. Just dont let two games become ten, everything is still in front of you

 

[NWinAZ]

I honestly think the Mariners would fare better attempting a safety squeeze bunt play every time they have a baserunner at 3rd or 2nd and 3rd w/ less than 2 outs.

I would 100% agree except I don't know if they have a guy on the team outside of JP that can bunt. Great idea, but man they are awful at it.

Yep they cant do it. Even a guy who I thought might be good at it Dylan Moore has looked awful doing it twice.

I like how Sims was bemoaning at how "bad luck" JP's ABs were when he made his lined outs.
They weren't really bad luck when the defense have scouting reports on you and played perfect defense during your ABs. It also wasn't like JP were scorching those line drives either.

That is my point when yelling at the TV when they make these shitty excuses. If a ball bounces off a bag or a player and still gets an out, that is bad luck. Hitting to a fielder who is standing in the right spot because that is where a guy hits it is called baseball no matter if the guy hits it 120 mph.

 

[AceKeptic]

And we get the Nationals next.

If we play down to their level, too, and cannot beat them...this season's done. They don't deserve a wild card spot if they're going to keep doing this.

 

[ulmax]

Mariners...66=56...1/2 GAME BEHIND TAMPA..FOR 1ST WILD CARD

with 40 games..TO GO
I WOULD SAY
..THESE 2 LOSSES TO OKLAND MADE A DIFF...
BUT WE WILL SEE..There is plenty of time
To make them up...

 

[ulmax]

I trade for 3 middle infield guys..
While having
toro as well...
Numbers..shale out..and cream rises

someone..well..be at 2 b...from below..

 

[ulmax]

I was going to trade for mantiply
of arizona...but decided against

How in the world can they have a coach that can turn Ty France into a gold glove caliber defensive player and has turned a bunch of nobody relievers into a solid pen not have 1 bench coach that could teach a professional how to bunt? Bunting is one of the easiest things to do. No way can someone convince me that NL pitchers for the past century can do something modern hitters can’t learn.

 

[ulmax]

opps dont look like they wil be abel to trade for..bae....

Um, bunting 100mph balls with movement is not easy.

Yes, they should be better at it than they are since they literally couldn't be worse, but if MLB bunting was easy it would be a lot more common league wide. Especially with all the shifts.

I think the biggest factor is that you have to want to be a good bunter. Bunting has become a wussy move these days it seems because the long ball gets paid. The old timers that could bunt did so to help their teams win. Todays players like to win, but not real sure they are willing to sacrifice pop, which brings dollars, for bunts which truly is a sacrifice.

 

[NWinAZ]

This could be bad for us if they get a real owner.

 

[ulmax]

Shannon dryer...says trammell..

Trammell...if trammell..could hit better
than 250.
He would make me forget..about C onforto..cuz I know trammell
