***Official Mariners Misery Thread***

I forgot about this thread since we started winning, my apprehension of the shoe dropping won’t go away lol This is a brutal stretch of 13 games against Red Sox for 7, Yankees for 3, and the recent sweep of the Angels is a good start. This will be a great test to see what kind of team they have.

I’m loving this lineup, top to bottom and someone is always coming up with a clutch hit or homerun even. I’m also impressed by Leblanc and Gonzalez, they have stepped up lately. Everyday Eddy is nasty, hopefully Nicasio figures out his problems, Dipoto has been making some good moves and Servais is pulling the right strings.

I keep thinking posting in this thread can do for the Mets what it did for the Mariners.....

They actually scored THREE runs tonight so maybe things are looking up.

They have too many players on the DL. Kind of sad how good they were out of the gate, but injuries have just about ruined their season.

 
Yesterday's game was insanity.  Ms start off hot and then proceed to go Bad News Bears for an inning and Paxton gets knocked out early.  Then the Ms bullpen(specifically Rob Whalen who just got called up) locks down Boston and the offense chips away and pulls ahead in the bottom of the 8th!  


 
This just in: Chris Sale is really good at pitching a baseball.

Welp, the toughest stretch of the schedule for a while is over and the Mariners all and all didn't do too badly.  If you would've told me the Ms would go 7-8 with games at Houston, home to LAA and Boston and then going to NYY and Boston I probably would've taken it.  They need to get back to their winning ways and having Baltimore and KC up next provides a good way to do that.

 
Just checking back in since last post. Gonna have to piggy back you @Xmas32  Not the way we would have liked that stretch to go but not awful.

What I didn’t like was giving up the two games, one each against RedSox and Yankees. Could have finished that stretch 9-6 with a season series win over the Red Sox and also avoided a sweep.

If only Healy didn’t ground into a double play to end the opening game against the Red Sox in safeco. Felix threw well and battled against Price, would have been nice to steal one against their closer. 

This team isn’t going away and does

what need to be done to win a ballgame. Probably needs to fend off only one team for the second wildcard if the Astros take the division. Need to lock down the bullpen (Nicasio), would like another starter to bolster, gotta figure out what to do with Cano. 

Go M’s!

 
Yup, pretty much agree with everything above @Savage Husker

I saw a stat that teams that have led by 5 runs or more are something like 410-30.  The Mariners found a way to lose 2 of those games in 3 days.

The bullpen should hopefully get a little more shored up once Nick Vincent gets his feet underneath him and Altavila comes back from injury.  I will be curious if they're buyers for another SP but with their lack of prospects, it'll have to be a salary dump methinks.
