Series Thread: M's vs Phillies: 6/27-6/28

[Mariners_44]

Tonight we start a two game set at home against a tomato can of a team with Paxton on the hill. Tonight is followed by The King on Wednesday so there should be no excuses. We need these two, and should very well get them no problem............no jinx intended. Go M's!

I heard them talking on the radio, but haven't found it anywhere. They said Smyly had a setback

Ya I read that earlier as well. He was scratched from him sim game but no details why. He and Kuma probably done for the year. It is the Mariner Way you know.

Not trying to derail the series thread but how can they know he done for the year? I don't know much or haven't heard about his sim game, but at least with Kuma, he couldn't top 84 with the Rainiers which is a bad sign.

Haven't read that. It was just me being pessimistic. Kuma to me has been done for over a year but nobody has the heart to tell him.

losing against this shitty team with the only thing we have resembling an ace on the mound would suck

 

[NWinAZ]

Paxton losing at home to the Phillies. We still don't have an ace.

funny, same thought at same time.

This is where the M's haven't arrived yet, I mean they can still possibly win this game only being down 2, BUT they just can't seem to avoid losing streaks, just because they win 6 or 7 in a row doesn't mean shit if you come right back with a long losing streak...

This is why you never get too excited about whatever temporary success the Mariners manage to generate. Because, a stretch of turdliness is bound to follow.

Fuck em. They do not have the heart of contenders.

 

[WizardHawk]

How is this team even near .500 playing baseball this badly?

I mean this isn't a rare occurrence.

This defense is a total embarrassment way too often.

 

[WizardHawk]

4-2 to open the 9th, Put your closer in because it's still close, Can't get guys out, can't throw to first base, several other gaffs, and give up a homer on top of it to put the game completely out of reach at 8-2.

What the absolute fuck is this team doing?

 

[WizardHawk]

I'm glad I missed most of this game taking our youngest out for a driving lesson and fucking pissed I actually got home in time to watch that complete and utter shit show in the 9th.

Yeah they haven't arrived yet as a playoff team.. If they can hang in there and get fully healthy, maybe just maybe, but right now they just can't seem to stop the bleeding once they start losing... Maybe Felix will stop that tomorrow night... But here they are again below .500 ....

2 above.500 and then lose 3 straight. Mariner things...

 

[WizardHawk]

And give the worst team in the game this year a win on the road in grand failing fashion with mistake after mistake after miserable horrible baseball mistake.

 

[Banned 10x]

I know it's just one game, but this fucking team just kills me every time I get a bit excited

 

[Cloud]

They had 24 wins... LOL.

And inevitably, when given a day off at home, the Mariners will come back the next day with an effort similar to what we saw last night. They were listless and hungover.
