Mariners now have 138 Ks for the season, most in the AL, second in MLB.
We got rid of the top 2 strikeout leaders in MLB, supposedly acquired better contact hitters, got a new hitting coach, and are still going backwards.
The Dodgers have more K's than the M's, but they've also played more games and have way more AB's.
Fun fact, Teoscar Hernandez is 2nd in MLB in K's, but he's also tied for 1st in RBI's. That's just who he is and who he's always been. Yeah, he strikes out a lot, but he also produces a lot of runs.
Also, Polanco has been just as bad as Wong was last season. He's got nearly 4 times as many K's as walks, a .167 BA, a way below average OBP of .259, and he's been generally awful on defense. Granted, he made a game saving play in the 9th on Wednesday, but other than that, he's been a huge liability both at the plate and in the field. It's
really hard to have a negative 0.6 WAR in only 13 games. He's playing at a well below replacement player level of play.
Garver has sucked a big floppy donkey dick too, but at least he doesn't play defense so he can't **** that up too, unlike Polanco.
It's still early, but so far this is looking like a disaster of an off season. We'd literally be better off if we were playing replacement level players over Polanco and Garver. What a god damn dumpster fire this team is.
