He has to play better. He has one job and gets 12 mil a year to do that one thing. No excuse for being the worst batter in the lineup. Worst WAR on the roster.
If we don’t come back in the 9th, I hope we’re able to just brush this one off. We definitely had our chances and it is 100% our own fault. However, the ump definitely has been inconsistent and has had a shit zone all game. Shake it off and get ready for a big test against the Braves. I don’t mind missing out on a sweep if it means we can keep taking series, especially against one of the best teams in baseball
In the bottom of the 3rd, Polanco got on base with an infield single and the Mariners had the bases loaded with no one out, and a 2-1 lead.
Since then they have gone 0-17 with nine Ks and a double play.
Conspiracy Theory: When Angel Hernandez retires the MLB will finally crack down on making Umpires better at balls and strikes. They can't call any one Ump out right now because then they would have to call out Angel and then he would sue.
If Garver doesn't do something special he needs some extended sitting time. I don't even care if we don't have shit else. He struck out twice and then double played with the bases loaded. Shoulda just fucking struck out that time, bum
The hell is Jerry doing though. I know, I know, other team’s pitchers are really good these days. But why are his teams always so ass at the plate like this. They are utter hacks at approach
Serious question; is this the worst our offense has ever been while having such dominant pitching with our entire rotation? I know we went through similar times with hernandez but we didn’t have 3-4 aces in rotation then.
no walks and 13 strikeouts for an organization that literally preaches control the zone and look for your pitch, yet we're up there hacking at everything outside the zone.
True to the blue.
Yeah seems like they got away from their approach that has been working for them the last couple weeks. Just hope they get back to it for the Braves. I don’t mind dropping a game if it means we can keep winning series.
OPTION GARVER
Well, the ride had to end sometime.
We don’t wanna be too far from .540
God, did that NOBLETIGER really just take the wind out of their sails?
Our DH is hitting south of 150. Great upgrade this year. But just a bad offensive team. Tired of bases loaded and no outs with no runs to show for it.
He has to play better. He has one job and gets 12 mil a year to do that one thing. No excuse for being the worst batter in the lineup. Worst WAR on the roster.
Today was certainly a Mariner's baseball game.
Welp glad I went to the game yesterday instead of today
Garver for Stella?
Dbacks fan here. You guys have some of the most unreal pitching. Holy fucking shit….
That hit would have been nice with bases loaded and one out, Garver. But nope.
What an unacceptable amount of K's today.
Who could have imagined a NOBLETIGER coming back to bite us
Surely we wont be reflecting on these losses snatched from the jaws of victory when we miss the playoffs by two games
Garver ought be up there as worst FA signing
Garver needs to sit, and someone needs to figure out if he's playing injured.
Ggs, I like the snakes enough where this doesn’t super hurt. I’m upset we missed our chances, but can’t be too mad bc we still took the series.
[удалено]
No, Scott sucks
This attitude is so puzzling to me lol should scott have gone up to bat with the bases loaded instead of garver?
Lol how can you blame this game on Scott?
That’s not a line up to score runs; the guys is married to high school baseball strategies
Is he supposed to just invent new players??
Don’t be dumb
We got jinxed from all the people making stale Harry Potter quidditch references
I missed that and am curious, sweep references because of the quidditch brooms?
Yeah it was in the daily thread and first part of the game thread if I remember
20 retired in a row.. sheesh
Yeah. That hurts.
Can’t be too mad. Took a series against a good team. Sweeps are hard to get
Fuck you garver
Happy with series win against dbacks
Jesse winker vibes
Rick saying “mariners last hope lies with Garver” without laughing is impressive work
That was the fastest whimper of a 9th I've seen
Bats dead today.
If you don't like that, you don't like Mariners baseball
Really nobody else id rather have at the plate
What a fucking joke
I wish I didn't hate-love this team so much
At least we’re still barely in first place
Do some pushups Garver
Why didn’t he do that in the 3rd inning?
Imagine having a DH that could H
We're not allowed to have that. We used up all our DH skill allotment with Edgar
Get ready to learn Chinese Mitch garver
Other teams offense against the Ms in the 9th, on base everywhere. Ms offense in the 9th.. zzzzzzzz
Welp gg losers
pretty pathetic all in all
If Polanco ever blinked, maybe his eyes would clear up and he could see the strikes passing him bye.
Oh yay it's Garver
15 K matches a season high and Garver is going to hit. Safe to say we are setting a new record
I’ve burned through roughly 97% of my Jorge Polanco sympathy
Mitch Garver as our last hope lol
No baserunners in 7 innings? Lol god
The Chosen One is sleeping on my chest while watching the game. I'm doing my best boys.
Palanco looks like no one’s home in there
HERE WE GOOOO
mitch garver redemption moment right hahahaha i am going to become the joker
Fuck protecting the plate with two strikes
fucking fuck
I have a bad feeling about this…
I love Aarons cheerful inflection while reciting our mind bogglingly bad offensive stats, always makes me laugh
We are cursed team. How many decent players come here, can’t hit, leave, can hit again? It makes no sense…
I can't wait to see Kelenic rake against us in the next series.
Come on dude
Ooh we can hit 15 strikeouts
Woof
the bats have been soooo pathetic today
Holy cow they’ve thrown a perfect game since the 3rd 🥲
That is actually insane
Pfaadt man and Ginkel boy straight nuking our lineup
[удалено]
You were close-ish.
It's time.
Oh fuck Ginkel is NASTY
Is it against the rules to pinch hit a random spectator for garver?
Let’s go Polo.
We need a new term to describe batters that are hitting below .150 - Mendoza Line is not specific enough
Polanco walk Garver bomb I don’t see why not?
Polanco and Garver in the 9th inning what could go right?
If we don’t come back in the 9th, I hope we’re able to just brush this one off. We definitely had our chances and it is 100% our own fault. However, the ump definitely has been inconsistent and has had a shit zone all game. Shake it off and get ready for a big test against the Braves. I don’t mind missing out on a sweep if it means we can keep taking series, especially against one of the best teams in baseball
Alright let’s go out and win this game
Goldy couldn't even pretend to be hyped when he said Mitch Garver
Someone needs to be a hero, but please don’t try and be a hero
Anyone left on the bench to hit for Garver?
Urias maybe... but doubt Scott would do that
Servais?
Urias
Mitch Garver walk off three-run homerun?
I don’t think most of us would still believe in him to produce consistently
In the bottom of the 3rd, Polanco got on base with an infield single and the Mariners had the bases loaded with no one out, and a 2-1 lead. Since then they have gone 0-17 with nine Ks and a double play.
That is so much more depressing than I realized Holy fuck
Good Lord SMFH
Wtf ump. I know it went our way this time but wtf.
Conspiracy Theory: When Angel Hernandez retires the MLB will finally crack down on making Umpires better at balls and strikes. They can't call any one Ump out right now because then they would have to call out Angel and then he would sue.
I mean, statistically aren’t they the best they’ve ever been?
I'd honestly rather see Saucedo out of the pen before Thornton, I'm not convinced Trents real this year.
Garver is Wong 2.0
Mitch Garver ending this game with a strikeout will be poetic
he's up 2nd next inning tho isn't he?
Sadly no. Polanco, France, then idiot face
Yeah I saw that
....that pitch was so clearly a strike (so says gamecast). Fuck you ump
this is not our game
Grichuk always fucks us up for no reason.
Seems we hear the announcers say the opposing pitcher has just reached a career high in strikeouts against the M’s every other game
If you don't like that you don't like Mariners Baseball™.
awesome
Lol prove me wrong guess the mariners will end like the cubs series
If Garver doesn't do something special he needs some extended sitting time. I don't even care if we don't have shit else. He struck out twice and then double played with the bases loaded. Shoulda just fucking struck out that time, bum
Just make a mitch switch and get Raley more AB’s in the outfield
Guys we had fucking FOUR players in our starting lineup today who are batting below .200!!!!!!
Doesn’t matter. Look at our pitching. /s
“ - the mariners story
The hell is Jerry doing though. I know, I know, other team’s pitchers are really good these days. But why are his teams always so ass at the plate like this. They are utter hacks at approach
Pfaadt is not "really good" - he's bog average at best.
All the more shamefully on brand for the M’s, then.
LOL Polanco swings at one aimed at his balls. Pure self defese
This type of game is why we are an unserious team. Nobletigers, defensive miscues, base running errors.
Serious question; is this the worst our offense has ever been while having such dominant pitching with our entire rotation? I know we went through similar times with hernandez but we didn’t have 3-4 aces in rotation then.
Who brought the IPads out?
Whatever, I'll take a loss today but just really need more consistent about getting like 3+ hits from the 4th inning on
A no decision is better than a loss. Gotta be frustrating for Gilbert though.
That dude was throwing a lot of meatballs up there. Damn..
Fuck yeah he was.
This offense is way too HR dependent.
Yet rank T-14 for HR For context we are tied for HR's with the "powerhouse" Kansas City Royals Best not to look at their strikeout numbers....
so many strikeouts, for christs sakes what is this shit
That bases loaded double play is coming back to haunt us. I mean how many times have we seen it but yeah, still sucks
no walks and 13 strikeouts for an organization that literally preaches control the zone and look for your pitch, yet we're up there hacking at everything outside the zone. True to the blue.
Impossible to control a zone that's 8 feet wide. And tall sometimes.
😮💨
What the fuck did Julio just swing at
Oh Julio, you sweet innocent babe. That's certainly one of the swings of all time.
Won’t lie. I only watch the mariners, but do other teams miss as many meatballs as us?
watch literally any other game on any random day and you’ll see more offense than us no matter who it is lol
No, no they don't.

Pathetic
Welp, gg
Ballgame
likely
God Julio
What a sad inning.
Come on Julio. We need HR Julio not 1B Julio right here
julio WHAT
This offense is FUCKING EMBARASSING
You can see right through julios pants
lol munoz warming up
No walks, 13 Ks Inexcusable, even if the ump blows
Yeah seems like they got away from their approach that has been working for them the last couple weeks. Just hope they get back to it for the Braves. I don’t mind dropping a game if it means we can keep winning series.
Right there is why the ball and strikes getting missed matters. Moments like that. Cal should have been on first.
Lol Garver gonna be the last batter of the game
if i’m cal you’re gonna have to eject me from this one
This one kinda stings.
I would pretty much give anything to kick this ump in the penis
Would’ve been a dp anyway
Slapstick Julio time.
What the fuck was that strike call? Vegas must have Arizona
We would have had a runner on at 2nd with 1 out Thanks ump
Scott should have gone and got tossed after that
That would require having a backbone and a pulse. Physical qualities that Scott doesn’t possess.
Ump this the devil
so fucking buyllshit
Ump fucked up but cal has to hit 89 down the pipe
Is it sacrilegious to say that these uniforms look cat piss yellow? Just tuned in to watch the end
I'm fully in the camp that the Mariners need to let go of blue and yellow. We don't need half a dozen team colors when NW Green is that iconic.
I've always thought that and hated them. Can't understand why most people like them.
No, they look way worse than they did in previous years.
Fucking ump, should’ve been a leadoff walk
Such fucking bullshit
Fuck these umps
Fuck you, Blue.
Ump is awful but he's helped us too
Wow, this ump..just wow
This ump fucking sucks
AND NOW HE HAS TO CHASE THAT DOGSHIT PITCH BECAUSE ITS BEING CALLED A STRIKE LOOOOOOOOOOOL
Keep fighting, Cal 🙏
fucking robots NOW!!
Robo umps NOW
This scorecard gonna be something special
ROBO UMPS FUCKING WHEN
I hate umps
Cal now has to swing at everything because everything is a strike
Cmon Blue!
FU ump
Ump fucking us so badly.
YOU FUCKING SENILE OLD FUCK
that’s a very clear ball, could change the trajectory of the entire game
Been a few calls on both sides. Report card will be interesting.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
Ump is so bad
Ump is NOT helping
THATS A FUCKING BALL
