I paid $160 for MLB.TV only audio available for these Apple TV SH*T games.

That pitcher for the Cubs is very good -Not going to be easy.

In fact his era in 2 games is 0.00

Meanwhile, Hancock has struggled badly and has an ERA over 11.

You never know, but I'm not terribly optimistic about this game.

That's why I posted,they don't do well against new pitchers and Emerson
doesn't belong up here with no heater or elite control.
I'd rather they bring up the two in AAA and ship EH back down.

True about Hancock, but Woo won't be back for a couple more weeks, it seems. Have to muddle through. If Castillo & Co were working up to par this wouldn't be such an issue.

YEP!

 

[Crizilla]

Bottom half of the line up:
.176
.158
.182
.143
.000

That means they'll come through today

Hancock doing OK so far. 2 runs in 5 innings with a low pitch count. Offense has some hits, but having trouble driving them home.

Hancock finishes 6 innings with only 2 runs. Good outing for the kid. Offense still dormant.

He did well but is he going to be like Marco? I hope he's not but we'll see.

 

[Chapow]

Offense still dormant.

Perfect motto for this team.

It's crystal clear now this team isn't trying to win since Rojas hasn;t been playing at all lately he was our hottest hitter. M's need a whole new kitchen not just the sink. New owner. New everything. Heck even new uni's. Do what the Seahawks did in 2012+. Give us something new and bring up prospects. I know it's early but it's really not looking good. This team lost so much power from last year. Strikeouts are still up and minus dingers. Teo, Geno, and Ford. They actually miss those guys now. Even JK. Since there's no actual coaching going on Julio is left out there to dry. Still has 0 homers (or 1)?. Julios career is getting screwed. No way he bats this poorly with other franchises. The entire philosophy that this "coaching" staff follows will almost certainly never win or even make a world series. It wouldn't happen. It's true you dont need to spend like crazy. ARZ didnt spend and made a world series run but it's because they simply have better management. The fact Servais bat France 4th is just...wow. We are watching bad managing, folks. It's like an episode of Hotel Hell. I do not see Stanton firing Jerry (president?), Scotty, and the GM (forget his name). The whole crew has gotta go. Good run. Cool story. Gave us a playoff birth. But this is ridiculous you cannot be literally bottom of the league in main offensive categories year after year. Gotta go. Moving on. see ya.

 

[Vesuve]

A fair comment to make. I paid $160 for MLB. TV but I can't watch Apple TV games.

Please F-off.

won't happen. Too many Seattle "fans" don't care enough to hit Stanton where it hurts.

 

[Crizilla]

Pathetic AB by France in the 6th. Wasn't thrown a strike the entire at bat. Strikes out. Zero coaching going on. It's a fake team.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

I’ve watched maybe about a couple hours total this season, probably a couple hours too much. This team is awful.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Consecutive innings with runners at first and second with no outs and guess how many runs we got? Yeah none.

 

[Crizilla]

Unreal
