Twins @ Mariners May 30-Jun 1, '25 (updated 5-30)

The Umpire was THE reason for the "blown save"

Period

1-0 at home in June after an awful May. Coincidentally, Polanco absolutely sucked in May. Let's hope he hits at least league average in June.

 

[Maulbert]

Pretty evenly matched with those Twinkies. Maybe see them in the playoffs.

Upside of blowing the save, Munoz gets the win.

Cal is en fuego.

Julio with the steal and advance on the bad throw to get to 3d. Randy with the GW RBI.

Heluva series. You guys who keep saying you're gonna stop watching are missing out.

I don't watch, but it's not a boycott of the team. It's more a '**** Comcast' boycott.

He won't. Polanco is toast. Burnt toast.

$120 for 6 months of one baseball team. That's a worse deal than any streaming service.

Well everything else cost 100 a month so whatever. I literally only watch sports 20 bucks a month for the mariners is great. I was using fubu and that cost $100 a month. Any cable cost that much too and I don’t watch anything else I’m paying for. So I guess it’s a matter of perspective. But like you said, you don’t watch

All I'm asking for is league average..... It'll help keep Mastrobouni out of the lineup

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Masterboner

Side note: PolancNO is 1 for his last 31. Why in the f does Wilson still bat him way up in the lineup? I know Wilson is beloved by a lot of M's fans, but his head scratching decisions are truly piling up. Stubborn and loyal doesn't make you a good manager.
Polanco batting 2nd? What??????? 1....for....his....last......31

Maybe Dan’s just hoping he’ll break out of it and he’s gotta bat to do that. Maybe he’s trying to expose him to Jerry so Jerry will doesn’t something

It's just plain bad managing. You don't put a guy who is in a world class slump at #2. That's just taking away at bats from guys who actually get on base. It's ridiculous. He should be batting 7 or 8.

Exactly... make him earn his way back to the top of the order... just like every other freakin' baseball team does from the Majors down to Little League!

Then again, this is a team that can't let go of 1995. Hey M's, that was 30 FRICKEN YEARS AGO.
I was AT the one game playoff, and jumped on the field with a bunch of other people. I was at game 5 vs. the Yankees.
Incredible memory. But again, that was 30 years ago. I don't need a manager who is too loyal to vets, I need a manager to do his damn job correctly. I don't need to see a starter get pulled after 65 pitches, only to have the NEXT PITCH by the reliever be a HR.

PolancNO

How original with the nickname. No doubt if Darnold starts struggling you'll call him DarNOld.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Dude, I'm just having some fun. Lighten up. It has just become a running joke now. FFS, this place sometimes.
Oh well, I'll continue to be who I am, and not take everything so seriously.

Lol DarNOld is good. Better than JSNo

 

[SoulfishHawk]

It is solid. Even though he's only 27. But.....How original with that nickname.
Just happy that cringe names caught on.
DarNOTtheanswer would be more likely. Or DarNOPE. Hopefully it won't have come out of the cringe bin.

Ford should be called up to play DH and back up Cal. Polanco is done. His knee is still bum. He's gotta go. He has a .170 OBP in his last 75 at bats. LOL!

That is extremely terrible. Like Eric Byrnes for SEATTLE only terrible.
