They reward Moore for his big game yesterday by batting him 9th, while continuing to put the impotent bats of Julio and Haniger high in the order.

I hear he got a participation trophy........as did Julio.
Moore will need a few more solid games before he gets moved up in the order. The stigma that he carries is that he is "utility", meaning he'll have to do it better for longer to get more starting assignments and/or move up in the order.

The offense is a train wreck. The pitching is what's gotten the Mariners to 21-18.

Batters, whether leadoff, in the 9-hole and anywhere in between, have to produce more frequently, at a higher level.
We fans are stuck with what this team shoves down our throats.

Hope tonight's result is equal to last night's winning effort.

#MILLERTIME has to go deep tonight. Bullpen has gotta be shot and no day off until Thursday. Hopefully he is on his game. Facing a guy with only 2 starts and 22 yrs old. One of those games against us and we roughed him up. Hope we do that again tonight. Julio has gotta get going. Only one In the lineup not doing anything last night. He really has to get going. Help the team!

They're doing the idiotic "2nd leadoff hitter" thing they love so much. Put a guy 9th to be a leadoff hitter before the real leadoff hitter.

I got an idea, idiots... Bat Moore 2nd and you'll get 2 leadoff hitters in a row without burying a hot hitter at 9th

How can they keep rolling Julio out at 2nd in the lineup? Move him anywhere else for a change.

Exactly. Moore or Raley deserve to hit 2nd. Julio needs to be dropped until he starts helping out. If he struggles again tonight he better be on the bench or dropped down.

Hell yea don't see Texas losing back to back to worst team in the league. Hey anything can happen though. That would be great to see.

Well at least we made contact. Julio stung that and great self defense by the pitcher. 110 off the bat. He has been stinging the ball just gotta get up in the air. Line drive singles up the middle won't do anything If no one is on base.

[Millikin]

110 mph right at the pitcher.
Estes saved his own season by getting his glove on it. It was going right for the head and neck region.
