Julio still out with a bad back after his head first slide Saturday.

Not a red alert or anything but 2 straight years with a back injury should at least be a little concerning.

Playing the worst team in the AL. Only team with 0 wins by any starter. And they can't score or even threaten

ESPN's Grades -

Seattle Mariners: D+​

Can you get a "feeling" about a team after one month? Because the gut feeling I get watching the Mariners -- and I've watched them a lot -- is that this isn't a playoff team. Last year's rotation didn't miss a single start, but Robbie Ray went down with Tommy John surgery last week and will miss the rest of 2023. Kolten Wong, AJ Pollock and Tommy La Stella have somehow been worse than Adam Frazier, Jesse Winker and Abraham Toro were last season. With Andres Munozsidelined, the bullpen hasn't been as dominant and the Mariners' one-run and extra-inning magic of the past two seasons has dried up (1-5 in extra innings).

Julio Rodriguez and Teoscar Hernandez have combined for 10 walks and 72 strikeouts, creating some OBP issues for the meat of the Seattle lineup, and J-Rod left Saturday's game with lower back tightness. This is where I remind Mariners fans that last year's team was 29-39 before turning things around.

And we are losing to a team that got an F------ (yes 6 minuses)
