Cruz just hit a home run OUT of Safeco Field moments ago during batting practice.

 

[cezero]

That is insane. It was such an easy swing, too.

Dude is a beast.

Miley pitching up to expectations - giving runs up early...

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Ms batters couldn't hit the water if they fell out of a boat when it comes to no outs bases loaded.

 

[Anointed One]

Finally, Miley Cyrus get's yanked...

 

[Anointed One]

Miley now tied with the lead in the AL and is 2nd in MLB in HR's served up w/ 13... He's giving up a HR in every 4.92 inning...

He's also given up 4+ runs in 5 of his last 5 games... All in 6 innings or less... 2 straight games with 4 innings of work each game... He's getting worse... If it continues, we could see Montgomery replace him...

A little discouraging seeing this team struggle so much against the worst teams in baseball.

June will be a reality check for sure.

 

[Anointed One]

The last few games is showing how much we miss Martin and Marte...

Yeah... Kinda worried about that myself... Too be honest, it wouldn't shock me to see us at or near .500 at the end of June w/ how tough the schedule is going to be... Our starting pitcher has not been that good...

 

[Anointed One]

WTF? Why on earth would Smith try to steal home on a shallow fly ball to left center? He was out by a mile...

 

[Msfann]

Why is it EVERY night we see an umpire who calls strikes halfway across the other batters box? this crap is getting old. such bs.

The M's bench is complaining, they aren't getting the same calls.

 

[cezero]

M's on the verge of losing the lead in the division thanks to the worst team in the league.

I think June will be pretty bad overall, though I'll stick by my original assertion that .500 is pretty good for this team this year.

You mean this series ISN'T the reality check?
