2017 Seattle Mariners regular season thread

[Bobblehead]

Holy crap, that Judge kid for Yanks is one monster guy.. Just pulverizes the ball.

 

[Crizilla]

Servais blew that 8th inning. Why didn't we bunt? Way too aggressive. Should have scored at least 1 run.

 

[Thepeelsessions]

Cripes! Is this team allergic to being above. 500? Friggin ridiculous.

 

[Bobblehead]

Good news.. Haniger is back and can play today.

 

[sutz]

I was kind of expecting they'd send Motter down. He hasn't been hitting shit for a week. Until he can learn to reach across the plate, he'll stay cold. He's been scouted and nobody is giving him that inside fastball any more.

It's been a lot longer than just a week. Ever since his slam on Oakland, he's been ice cold. His slam against Tampa Bay was much ado about nothing. Man, I wish O'Malley was healthy.

Ex Mariners are killing the M's this series. Last night 3 hrs today J Happ blanked them thru 6.

 

[Thepeelsessions]

I have a bad feeling that this series will lead into yet another run of offensive ineptitude. J.A. Happ? Really? Unbelievable.

 

[Sports Hernia]

The offense is irritating as hell to watch at times. Especially against someone like Happ.
Hopefully it won't take Haniger too long to get his hitting legs back, and if they can get Segura back soon they will be more consistent.

Yeah, it can be painful to watch sometimes. I'm starting to think that one of their problems is that they are constantly waiting for someone to 'get back.' It's June. Time to start winning now.

 

[Bobblehead]

Well
We're missing Segura,
Cano's been rather slumping,
Hanniger just got back today
Seager has been so-so
Motter is not hitting.
Gamel and Heredia are just turning out to be back of the order single hitters
Only person that has been keeping us in the last week has been Zunino.. but he's not going to stay that hot.

Hopefully, we'll start hitting again.. soooon.

Good news is, the bullpen has been lights out since about the 20th of May.. I think I read a 1.47 era since then.

Was a little disappointing to see Pax flounder today.

 

[sutz]

Just looked at the sked. Looks like no days off until the 26th. Long stretch with no rest. :les:

Definitely agree the pen is coming together. Diaz is back to his prior form, Altavilla is becoming lights out with a 100mph dominance, Vincent is ultra steady, Rzep and others are very solid.

Pax didn't have a good outing but even Cy Young winners have about 5 bad games or more a year. He'll be fine.

Regarding Gamel, I strongly disagree with you. He's been the one consistent bright spot in our lineup lately-he's hitting .327 with 9 doubles, 2 triples and 2 HR and was 3 for 4 yesterday. I don't think you could ask anything more from a contact hitter and a rookie no less. A few more ABs he'll be in the top 5 in the league in batting.

I completely agree. Motter is such a dead pull hitter and every team's scouting department has figured this out. Did you see his last AB yesterday?-Every single pitch was away and away. He's got to learn to go with the pitch and hit the other way or he's done.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Yeah not a great effort by Paxton last night. Not sure how this team lets weak pitchers look like Kershaw. Happ has been awful all season and he blanked us. Offense needs to pick it up as the pitching has been quite good. Felix had a really good second start in Tacoma. I think he is suppose to make one more rehab start and then rejoin the Mariners, so we should see him sometime next week. I'm not very surprised about Motter. He is a one trick pony type of hitter. Once the scouting report came out in him it was pretty obvious he is a utility guy.

Yeah, too bad about Motter. I wonder how O'Malley is doing.

Your right, about Gamal.. not sure what I was thinking... but still I think he'll bat somewhere in the back of the order when Segura comes back.

 

[Thepeelsessions]

I'll be damned if Gallardo is on the roster by this time next week. With Felix coming back, he should be DFA'd. 2-2 in the first against Minny. He doesn't even look like Tacoma Rainier material.

 

[Bobblehead]

Welcome back Mitch.

 

[Bobblehead]

I wonder if M's would do this
Segura
Gamel
Haniger
Cano
Cruz

Welcome to the M's E White. Sounds like a Seahawk type of player that can play anywhere.
