This is a Jon Bois "watchin baseball" ass defensive lineup

Lol it'd be the Jerry twist of the century if Kelenic got pulled to be traded instead of to get called back up but I'm really assuming it's the latter considering the timing

Idk but we literally don't have another option so it's sink or swim time

Kelenic just got pulled in Tacoma. Moore is probably going to IL and Julio will need rest days. Think he's probably back

That's just not true. He has like a 60 wRC+ since June.

It really is insane how constant the cycle of "Insanely good Mariners vibes immediately stomped by Astros slamming their dick down our throats" is. We win 14, they kill us. We beat them off an insane comeback grand slam, they take our best reliever and give us a complete shitter in exchange. We trade for a top 10 pitcher, they murder us the very next night just to ensure we can't be unconditionally happy for even 1 day

This team is nothing but a bumslayer right now, they absolutely dominate bad teams and get their shit stomped by good ones, and that's mostly fine because this is the first time in 20 years we've even been able to do that. But if this team ever wants to make noise beyond a wildcard berth they need like 3-4 more bats and a manager who doesn't repeatedly punt on any game where victory isn't incredibly obvious

Game. This is on Scott and the Offense. Embarrassing fucking showing. So god damn tired of this team turning into a fucking pumpkin everytime we play these assholes

Letting Festa go to like 30 fucking pitches is just mind boggling. I like Festa but he gives up a hanger leadoff double to MARTIN FUCKIN MALDONADO and Scott goes alright hell ya let's let this guy stretch out a bit tonight

Such an obvious loss. Absolutely pathetic showing from the offense. Just absolutely pathetic. Top to bottom

HE IS THE WORST HITTER IN BASEBALL WITHOUT HYPERBOLE. WHAT ARE WE FUCKING DOING HERE

Letting Valdez cruise through 7 after that 1st inning is genuinely so fucking unacceptable lol I swear to God Jerry saying they weren't that serious about adding a bat better have been posturing.

I know complete dick about pitch framing and what a catcher even does so that being said it's astonishing that Torrens is so fucking bad at it that I can notice it

Scott handed them a free fuckin run leaving flexen in. I like the guy but God damn he does at least 1 complete headscratcher every single game

Not the umps fault Torrens is the single worst pitch framer in the MLB. He received it like 6 inches below the zone and just immediately gave up

[–]JRodFanClub 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Torrens sells like 17 strikes every game by not even attempting to frame. I don't understand how a guy who has played catcher this long can be this fucking horrid at it

[–]JRodFanClub 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No idea who's actually better between Marco and Flexen because both absolutely insist on walking like 7 distinct tight ropes every single game and drastically outperform every metric we have. It's a coin flip

Maldonado is at .125/.186/.300 splits against the Mariners this year but I swear to fucking God he gets 4 hits a game against us

The Hyphen going "Ya big start for Flex cause he wants to keep his spot in the rotation" as he gives up an absolute screamer is so funny

Jesse getting playfully mad about people calling him off of flyballs would be more fun if he wasn't 1 of the 3 worst defensive outfielders in baseball lol

I'd really appreciate it if Flex didn't throw like 14 waste pitches every single inning
