Seattle Mariners vs Minnesota Twins...Jun 13-15

[sutz]

Another division leader coming to town. Do we ever get to play against the bottom feeders?

Looks like Flexen vs Archer.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

when you have a team that can only muster up ONE HIT over 9 innings, does it really matter? This offense is maddening.

 

[sutz]

And they're at it again. 1 run in 6 innings.

 

[sutz]

I swear to god we have the least successful shifts in baseball.

 

[sutz]

They better start getting some hits with people on base. Can't win many games with 1-2 runs.

 

[Crizilla]

Another wasted quality start. Offense is still the problem. Still don't know how to hit with RISP. Tons of men left on base again.
Rocco Baldelli > SS.

 

[sutz]

Damn, they can play ball from time to time.

Nice 6 inning shutout ball for Gilbert. 2 run homers from Suarez and France, with an add on run on a Hagerty RBI double. Solid all around ball game.

Tomorrow is a Youtube game at 1 pm. Marco on the hill.

Poor Sutz still subjecting himself to this team day-in and day-out.

You use to be the rational one on the board.. now you are just a grumpy old man dude.. lol

Well, when they have a gem of a game like tonight was, it kind of makes it worthwhile.

You are a great fan and I respect you for it. A better fan than me. After 20+ years of failure I simply can't let this team give me hope anymore. A win like last night is great, but I simply can't believe they are capable of consistency anymore

Asterisks joining the AL West a few years ago sucked for the Ms WAY more than any of us expected. But I think the Ms will return to the playoffs in the next few years, propelled, in part, by J-Rod and others who'll soon get promoted from the minors.

 

[sutz]

Another wasted quality start by Marco Gonzalez. 6 2/3, 1 run on 3 hits. He gets the loss because the team gets blanked 5-0.

Yep M’s in mid season form. Well below .500, and fans losing interest. These series threads used to get like 50 replies now it’s basically 10-15. They need a 25 game stretch where they can go something like 17-8 to have any chance at making this interesting.

It was bad for baseball. Stros are a national league team. It also unbalanced the 2 leagues even more. Almost all changes MLB have made the past 10+ years have been bad for the game. People want 90s and early 2000's baseball back for a reason. Not a fan of universal DH, more interleague games, pitch clock, no catcher blocking home plate, etc.

This is pain. Everyday i watch and it breaks my heart.

Nope. Team is an absolute joke. The curse will never end.
