Series Thread: Rangers @ M's: May 27th - 30th

[Duders]

A Sunday win will put this team back to .500 and the first 4 game sweep? Nothing to write home about though but beating the basement teams keeps their head above water.

 

[Msfann]

For being a rookie Kelenic sure doesn't run very hard to first. and ffs get him out of the leadoff spot until he starts hitting.

[Destroydacre]

Wouldn't have thought beforehand that 15 runs would be enough to sweep a 4 game series. Kudos to the pitching staff. Only gave up 6 runs in those 4 games.

Every game I think it can't get worse, then he made that call. It definitely killed their rally but nice to see us getting a break from a call...but that was horrible.

 

[MarinersBestFan]

For being a rookie Kelenic sure doesn't run very hard to first. and ffs get him out of the leadoff spot until he starts hitting.

agree 100%

If his struggles continue another few weeks ... it's entirely possible he could have a sub .100 batting avg

And I also have noticed the dogging it to 1st base on ground outs.

I recall Bryce Harper getting yanked out of a game in his 3rd year or so for the same thing ( and he had established himself I think with ROY and other credentials at the time ) Kelenic is a NOBODY in the league. But its the Mariners - no veteran leadership - no legit mgr and no accountability. And they wander why they never make the playoffs.

His 1st out a game or two ago the pitcher and 1st baseman both ran for the ball and got slightly crossed up, most likely they would have got him out anyway but he was just jogging halfway to 1st like he didn't care and they got him out by a mile. If he had been sprinting could he have got a base hit? maybe. It looked lazy.

The rangers announcers response was "OH MY GOD".
