    Mariners shutout starts and team W/L

    Miller 6 (5-1)
    Gilbert 5 (4-1)
    Castillo 4 (4-0)
    Kirby 4 (4-0)
    Woo 3 (3-0)

    19-2 is incredible.

    Now I see why the broadcast booth is critical of starters. only shutouts are acceptable. Seattle's record would be 92-10, if the starters pitched perfect baseball every game.

    opponents hitting .215 off the Mariners starting 5. That's one helluva stat.

    This team could be soo dangerous if the bats come alive. Or if the front office puts down their Starbucks and trades for better hitters.

    We will never be in first place for the rest of the year.

    The worst team we have ever had. And there's no argument. Just a fucking joke of a team.

    There is no winning leadership. Just win half of the games and fans will come. Ownership analytics.

    It's the closest I've been to saying fuck the team.

    I'm a fan of the Rays, Orioles, and Dbacks... so...

    I'm never abandoning the team but holy shit does an organization know how to shit all over any goodwill the team has.

    a 3 game set against the White Sox starts tomorrow. Chicago can't beat anybody. It should be a welcome nudge back towards the winners circle.

    Let's hope Mariners fans don't have to buy new TV's. Impact from a thrown plate can crack the glass, and high velocity nacho splatter can short out the connections.

    Not a needle mover at all; hitting 211 this year with 15 hr. His WAR is an all time low. No wonder they gave him away.

    .211 w/15 taters would be high level Seattle hitting. Give Randy a cleanup spot immediately.

    Yeah, you're not wrong but also he would be Seattle's second best bat even with those stats.

    Having said that, he's going to come into Seattle and get our hitting disease and slump to .130 probably.

    The one player I specifically didn't want, they get.

    This team is so stupid.

    Honestly I think it's just being one of the worst teams of the 4 main sports leagues...what I mean by that is, this is all we can get. Like when the Blazers sign a Derrick Jones Jr. for instance.

    But not enough of an upgrade.

    If we get Vladdy, THATS the game changer.

    I'm also just annoyed cause I've never been an arozarena fan. Watched a lot of him and I think the fan base is not going to like him as a player.
