    What a shitty weekend. I was afraid our bats caught fire too early during our hot streak.

    jerry needs to find some more consistent hitters instead of relying on hot streaks for over half of the lineup.

    I love Ty France but he has got to go

    We have to sweep Houston to even have a chance at the wild card so yes.

    Toronto has to lose the majority of their games too. Our controlling of destiny is over.

    I hate this fucking team but I love this fucking team. Sports.

    Pretty much accepting the fact we aren't making the playoffs. Fucking hell.

    Just can't hit. What are they like 19th in the league in hitting? Luis getting shelled.

    They apparently are up for a team silver slugger award and I just laughed.

    This team should be flat out embarrassed by the way they ended this season. Garbage. They will be just over 500 when all is said and done.

    Bringing in lefty vs. righty matchup, Mariners gotta make their commercial quota.

    Most important games in 20 years in the regular season, and they lose 4 fucking straight. No heart.

    Not sure why they don't put the bat on the ball? Why is every swing for the fence? Absolutely need some contact hitters that can manufacture some runs at times. Would be nice to see them get a guy that can bunt as well.

    dipoto prefers streaky batters who have to platoon because they can only hit (sometimes) righties or lefties

    It's infuriating.

    Though, I remember seeing a stat that at one point we were one of the best teams with the bases loaded. I found that stat to be bullshit but somehow it was true. At least at the time.

    How many times have we seen them with a man on third with zero or one out and leave him stranded in the last 3 weeks?
    It sure is.

    Probably not often because our team fucking sucks and can't move runners over after hitting doubles.

    Yankees did the Mariners s favor by shutting out the Blue Jays. M's have to take advantage.
