Mariners (68-57) @ Phillies (71-53) Aug 18-20, '25...

While this is largely true, that also comes with 90-100 RBI's a year. That's a lot of run production. More than most.

Yes. My point was that production comes from HR or he's striking out. That's his game.

This team couldn’t bat there way out of a paper bag.
Bad pitching, bad defense, rediculous.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I can't imagine this being a playoff team when it's all said and done. Would love to be shocked, but I'm sick of false hope.

Go Hawks

 

[sutz]

Well, glad that's over. Toughest 9 game stretch of the year so far.

Geno picking it up a bit. Couple of homers and a couple of doubles this trip.

Julio also hitting.

Pitchers need to get their shit together.

Day off tomorrow. Time to recharge.

Phillies have existed since 1883 and just had their highest hits total and strikeouts thrown in a 3 game series ever.
Mariner.

Yes. My point was that production comes from HR or he's striking out. That's his game.

That's not really true though. He averages around 30 HR's per year. He also averages around 140 hits per year. A large majority of his hits are something other than a HR.

I'm not saying he doesn't K a lot. He absolutely does, but so do a lot of very productive hitters. Cal, Ohtani, and Schwarber are all top 5 in K's. Guys that produce a lot of HR's and a lot of RBI's often come with a lot of K's.

 

[Shane Falco]

It was absolutely brutal.

 

[SuperSonic67]

This team is sooo hard to watch…good thing I don’t have ROOT Sports because I”d be way too emotionally invested lol

That stat and..........that meme.......equally

 

[Bobblehead]

what a joke.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Anything less than 4-2 on this homestand is unacceptable.

 

[Ruminator]

Finally a day when Ms avoid a loss! Where's the champagne?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yet, I'm still worried they somehow got an extra loss from that ass woopin they got in Philly.

 

[MontanaHawk05]

Finally a day when Ms avoid a loss! Where's the champagne?

We ordered it, but it got stranded by Julio.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

That joke would have been funnier when Julio wasn't hitting. He's one of the hottest hitters on the team the last few weeks.

Be better if you're gonna' take another shot at the guy. Because clearly, he's the only one who leaves guys on base on this team

Again.......selective criticism. And the timing is actually kind of funny. Dude gets 2 or 3 hits, while a few, who SHOULD be hitting, throw up an 0-4 or or 0-5.......... crickets.

Dude went 3 for 4 yesterday. Arozarena and Cal went 0 for 4, 3K's for Cal and 2 for Aroza. Suarez went 1-4 and struck out 3 TIMES.

Monday's game: Julio goes 2-4. Cal 0-5 with 3 K's. Arozarena goes 0-4. Suarez goes 0-4

Now WHO is stranding guys on base? He has done his share of it, but the convenient ignoring of MANY guys on this team who need to hit better is a never ending story

All jokes aside, the PITCHING is the biggest concern at this point, imo. And it's not like the Offense is exactly killing it. But damn, what in the hell happened to our pitching?
