Don't make it personal.
That's all we ask, join us! The disappointment and misery comes much sooner. You will get to enjoy the summer this way.It's over. It has made it easy to just accept it. I'll pin the scores, check some highlights etc. Not wasting my time. Enjoying summer is more important than watching a crap team choke away another season.
The Misery Committee will be proud of me.
We are all in agreement.Love baseball, love AND hate this team. If that makes sense.
What happened?……In their last 17, the Mariners are 13-4, and 16-12 overall and in first place. What's not to like?
When the season started, I think we all thought, "Oh no, here we go again," but Dan Wilson quickly turned the ship around.
They've been good despite being without George Kirby and Matt Brash. They have also been winning despite being without Victor Robles and Julio batting .196.
They are third in the AL in scoring, second in HRs and second in OPS. So it's not just pitching that's keeping them afloat.
It's been a horrible stretch, 1-8 in their last 9 games. I don't know if you can point to any one thing. The hitting hasn't been good, but that's been a problem all year. Now the pitching has fallen apart.What happened?……

Below .500 for the first time in a long time this season. Wilson's going to have to right the ship quickly.
To some extent, every team goes through bad stretches. The Phillies have also lost 8 out of their last 10, and that's a good team. The question is whether these last few games are a blip or a trend.
Yeah, definitely been an up and down season. We'll soon see what direction they're going in. I don't have much faith in the reinforcments--Ben Williamson, Cole Young, Dominic Canzone. Unless we get a solid bat, things are not going to change for the better.It hasn't been just these last few games though. They played well for a month (April) but they've been pretty bad since then. They're 15-22 since April. They've now lost 6 series in a row and been swept in 2 of their last 3 by teams that are under .500. They have the 2nd worst record in the AL in their past 20 games behind only the A's.
It's looking more and more like April was the blip and this is just a straight up bad team.
