Its really pathetic when you can't squeeze out a win vs a team who isn't even throwing a real starting pitcher. SMH. Typical Seattle Sports.

Mariners better learn to hit overnight. That’s been a problem for 8 years. Stop swinging for the fences every single at bat.

It's over.
No clue why Raley would get any at-bats today.

They had to go with "handed-ness" again. Raley should never be replacing Robles anyway because he isn't even as good defensively & definitely not on the bases.

Julio and Cal got all the hits. Need more contributions from the rest of the team.

This. Someone else needs to step up. Julio and Cal can't be the only one's doing anything.

Well that hurts. Playoffs often boil down to one or two key moments. Kirby gives up the 2 run dinger and Vargas just a little bit too wild.

You're right. I didn't realize until you said it that only two guys got hits. Unfortunately, Naylor was the guy we needed to get a hit a couple of times. He's usually pulled through, but not tonight. When he hit into that DP that cost us a multi run inning, I thought that was the key bad moment for us this game.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Everything I worried about came true.

Long lay off definitely showed.

All the pressure was on us to win this game. Down 0-1, HFA flipped, and we have to go against the cy young. Idc if we’ve hit him, he’s still the best pitcher in the league.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

We had our ace.. we lost to bunch of middle relievers.. that just sucks.

This is the worst part. We lost to a middle of the pack bullpen.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Absolute gut punch. A chance to score in the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th. Not ONE DAMN RUN. And.....Cal and Julio are the ONLY ones who got a hit. 3 each. NOBODY ELSE. Umps sucked, but YOU guys did it to yourselves.

 

[cymatica]

This is the Mariners team I learned to live with. Disappointing when it matters most.

It's about time to go back to a more traditional lineup with Robles leading off, Arozarena & Suarez 6th & 7th, doesn't matter which is where. Robles hitting 7th is about the stupidest thing ever & Suarez needs to move down.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Totally sucks. We had our chances.

Several

 

[Steve Hawk]

Shit happens, on to tomorrow.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Umps killed us a couple times, but when only 2 players get hits, you rarely are gonna win. Again, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th. 4 f,$;;# chances to score ONE FRICKEN RUN. 4 CHANCES.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Last two home playoff games, 2 runs in 29 innings.

 

[Bobblehead]

Bad news: Skubal
Good news: We beat him before

I wonder if Giants fans look forward to playing Brady in the playoffs.

 

[DJ_CJ]

Gotta hit but also the one big hit the Tigers had shouldn’t have even happened with the complete blown strike 3 call.

 

[Vesuve]

We needed game #1, badly.

On to tomorrow.

 

[Goldfinger 007]

Sure hope the Seahawks don't pull a Mariners tomorrow.....
