Series Thread: Twinkies @ M's, 5/27-5/29

[Anointed One]

Guti up at the plate...

strike one looking
strike two swinging in the dirt
ball 1

and SEAGER FREAKING SCREWS IT UP! What a dumbass...

 

[WizardHawk]

Even the worst team in baseball can score more runs at Safeco than the M's can.

The home woes continue.

 

[Destroydacre]

This team is infuriating. Losing a series to the Twins is fucking pathetic. These guys should be embarrassed.

 

[WizardHawk]

And on a double derp base runner fuck up to boot.

What a complete fucking joke.

 

[Msfann]

That sucked so bad I'm not even going to make a comment about it.

 

[WizardHawk]

After the sweep tomorrow another shit team comes in for 2. Can they win either of those?

 

[SeattleCoug]

No point in assigning blame.

Miley sucked, two bases loaded no out situations squandered, countless outs on the bases.

Don't care who you are playing that won't work. They really didn't play that well against Oakland or Cincy either.

Hope it turns soon because it's frustrating to watch

 

[NWinAZ]

Welcome back. I missed you my old Mariners.

 

[unlvmariners]

That sucked goat balls.... What a great way to end a game.

tough to watch them lose a series to a pretty bad team. It is concerning when you struggle against the Twins. These guys need to be a better team at home.

I am about done with Miley piping home run balls.

 

[DunceKaep]

Terrible ending.

I wanted a 6-2 homestand, but feared 3-5. Maybe 3-5 is probable now. Best case 4-4.

Remember, the posters (well some) gave up after Angel sweep then the M's bounced back.
Point is, very tough two losses to Twins, but It is a long season.

Yes, go Mariners. I'm STILL on board. (Terrible Loss!)

That was a rough one....

So far I'd say I'm spot on:

Series Thread: - A's @ M's, May 23-25

"Well we'll probably go 3-5 in this home stand against crappy teams and then proceed to sweep Texas and San Diego on the road. So 8-5 over the next 13 is pretty decent."

Not being able to plate a runner from 3rd with nobody out is how you lose games to bad teams, and the Mariners did it twice. Have seen that same shortcoming a lot this season actually.

Figured when I bought tix for today's game I would be seeing a team going for the sweep -- just didn't think it would be Minn holding the broom.

Don't let the 14-34 record fool you, this team is STACKED!!!!

Why are some of you so damned sensitive for ANY criticism? Yes, they are still in first place and great teams still lose to bad teams sometimes in baseball. We are still allowed to point out frustrations. It doesn't mean anyone has dumped them or given up on them. It means that was a fucking terrible game AGAIN at home against the worst team in baseball and we aren't happy about it.

The Twins have no business winning a series on our soil and now they are going for the sweep. A comedy of errors both in fielding/throwing, and a massive brain fart blunder to end the game point out just how bad that game was. Runner at 3rd with one out down one and you get BOTH runners thrown out on the bases. I have never seen that in all of my life. That should never happen.

None of that means we have given up on the team in totality. It's just hard to deal with how bad this team is at home compared to their stellar play on the road. Why can the worst team in baseball score more runs at the Safe than you can? It's a problem. And one we have dealt with for 15 years.

Losing speed on the bases (Marte/Martin) has heard us this series imo...

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

But he couldn't get one out of the infield during the game with a runner on 3rd with less than two outs...

 

[Anointed One]

Classic example of why "WINS" is such an overrated stat in baseball...

Miley - 5 wins / 2 losses / ERA 4.95

Walker - 2 wins / 4 losses / ERA 2.65

 

[Anointed One]

CANO goes DEEP!

M's up, 1-0...

 

[Anointed One]

Nice...

We're going to be in 2nd place after today...
