I am not done complaining , they still suck
What's crazy is the Rangers are losing 4-2... but their AB's are a million times better.

They don't swing at bullshit. They make the pitcher make pitches.

Mariners hitters flail away at a guy throwing 90 with an ERA above 6.00.
Yea it's called having an actual elite hitting coach. Must be so nice.

Hopefully pitching holds the rest of the way. We gotta take this series.

Lowe's homer came off the back of laying off 97 2 inches off the inner half.

A Mariner strikes out on that pitch 100% of the time.

With Castillo's pitch count he'll be lucky to make it thru the 5th inning.
Awesome reverse jinx T! :)

Good start Castillo. It was shaky and could have been ugly, but you settled down.

I agree. It's early in the season, but it would send a message - "we are here, and we are competitive".

Look, I complain as much as the next guy here, but I really am trying to get behind this team. Our starting pitching has been elite, our bullpen has been good, our defense is average and our hitting has been streaky. I would like to see us have a better strategy at the plate (or any strategy, really, beside swing for the fences at everything). But we're neck and neck with WS defending Rangers. We are up 3 on the Angels, 4 on the A's and 6 on the Asstros. There are some positives here, guys.

Hopefully we don't put guys like Garver on a long leash - if he's Pollock two point oh, then cut our losses and move on.

How in the FUCK did Garver post an .870 OPS lasts season. If the new guys were just with 100 points of last season's OPS we would have a five game lead in 1st right.

Yep Edgar was the last best coach we had. Guys just choose horrible coaching now except pitching. Garver omg this guy can't even try and get going. Getting closer to under 100 embarrassing just to hit. Alright let's go bullpen.
