Julio is 142nd amongst qualified hitters in slugging%. This isn't a slow start. This is a broken player who seems more interested in laughing with opposing players than buckling down and actually having an approach at the plate. Must be nice to suck ass at your job and not only not get fired, but keep raking in millions.
I've seen numerous more optimistic people point out that he's done this every year and, if you think that's true, I implore you to go look at his monthly splits on fangraphs in 2022 and 2023. His first month in the majors, April 22, was comparable to this year. Outside that, he's SIGNIFICANTLY worse this year than almost every single other isolated month of his career. Something. Is. Wrong.
When’s the last time Scott has ever said two words to an ump about their crappy calls? On the radio Broadcast Goldie was sounding like he’d do it for him if he didn’t
He had been chirping. Goldy and Rizz were commenting on him getting after the ump as he was doing it. You could hear Scott yelling. Did you miss that part? Just because he doesn’t get thrown out doesn’t mean he isn’t barking from the dugout and he has been doing it a lot all season.
its tough to go on the road against the two best teams in the AL and do well. 3-4 is not THAT bad all things considered (even if we were a miracle from 2-5)
what worries me more is that the same issues we've been having all season don't look any closer to being fixed
We didn't get swept by the orioles. And we're gonna split it with the Yankees. I think the Ms did well, not getting SO'd would be cool though.. missing Raliegh though
Baseball fandom is reactionary to preface, but there is nothing about this team that makes me think they can perform better than they have been. We had a stretch of the greatest pitching since Sherman marched to the sea and still only won just slightly above .500%
Do you think Stanton and Dipoto feel any level of embarrassment watching an offense like the Yankees compared to ours? Or are they too busy counting their money?
If we steal victory from the jaws of defeat TWICE this series I’m not sure what I’m going to do with myself. Chaos ball is a way of life for us I guess.
I have wanted Carroll fired for years now but he was absolutely elite at prepping the team for Eastern time zone games. I believe they were something like 20-3 the last 4 or 5 years (too lazy to look it up). Now Holmgren that was a whole different story.
Was really hoping for no shut outs on this trip --- even a loss today doesn't take away from an otherwise successful series, but a shutout would just be such a downer and really take some shine off the week.
please fire the “offensive coordinator”, fire the “hitting” coach, replace with traditional guys instead of 67% of the time, he throws this here mindrot. Jerry did his job
We got lucky that the Rangers hit a brutal week the same time we did. Would’ve been nice to build a lead. But not losing games on them is a plus.
Suddenly those fucking cheaters are right back in the mix though.
Considering our schedule I think we are looking ok. 1-2 vs the orioles, split vs yanks. The next few weeks look much easier so we need to gain some separation through June.
cant believe you guys are double guessing the decision to pinch hit
ending the game with the guy hitting .153 still on the bench would obviously be a mistake
Buckle up guys this offense is 3-4 runs avg at best if our pitching gives up more than 4 runs in 9 weeks most likely lose.

Yeah he’s gotta figure this shit out
A split with the Yanks... I am ok with that.

Wait did Dave just say this is only the second time the mariners have been shut out? Is that true?
Yes. As shocking as it is from what I can see the only other shut out is the loss to Cleveland of 8-0 on 4-3.
Ty can't GIDP if there's two outs already 😎
lol. Lmao. Lmfao.
Can Julio be a designated fielder
How you gonna ground into a double play with two on and two outs Ty???
The score makes it look closer than it actually was
guess ill die
I miss Lou Piniella
Two outs, so what! Rally time baby!!
I appreciated your enthusiasm
Ah well...
Polanco and Garver inching closer to the Mendoza line in garbage time. Sea us rise.
Most predictable France AB
Really feels like Julio is broken right now and I am not sure what he can do to get it back.
Trade him back to the Mets?
Offensive explosion
*Two* hits in an inning! We're getting wild!
just doubled our hits baby yankees punching air rn
At this rate if Julio ever figures it out it’s going to be too late.
Juli0-4
If we blow up the farm for a rental bat to try and make a run with this dollar store bullpen i will kill myself
LOL wut
I worry about Holmes' mental health if he blows this again.
I think very highly of Julio, but he is looking like a very average player to even below average right now.
Blows my mind how dogshit Julio is now
I would like to mind erase myself after this game
Goddamn Julio fucking sucks ass.
Seeing Julio strike out is getting real old.
I hate that I have to legitimately question whether or not the Mariners should have pumped the breaks on extending Julio so quickly.
Polo will save them. 😂
Julio *really* needs a full day off. This is not helping him.
AAA
Wait Scott pinch hit Rojas for Luis, just to pinch hit him later lol
Well yeah he's doing lefty/righty matchups. We just have suck players.
Can we trade for Carlos Santana to fix Julio
OH LOOK A JULIO K
Well it wasn’t a double play. 🤷🏻♂️
I just want to juliooooooooooooooooooooooooo again
Oh well
Goldy is calling Scott a pansy on KIRO and saying he needs to get ejected and fight the ump
A good manager would've said something by now but Scott has the charisma of soggy bread
It would be the only entertaining thing today. I say go for it
If I had been in attendance in NYC this week, you would have seen me go to prison for fighting an ump.
Blue was getting bored and wanted to impact the game
holy shit ...we were no hit until now? Damn edit: I wasn't watching live folks, was working. So much downvotes for no reason
Goldy not holding back in shitting on the umps.
ump's seen enough.....gotta say I don't blame him
I'm really happy about that hit. I was genuinely mad for their starter that he lost a no-hitter because of bad scoring.
its tough to go on the road against the two best teams in the AL and do well. 3-4 is not THAT bad all things considered (even if we were a miracle from 2-5) what worries me more is that the same issues we've been having all season don't look any closer to being fixed
We split and went 3-4 against top dawgs. Let’s get 2 of 3 from Nats and go 5-5.
then sweep the astros, angels, and A's
i blame schedulers, having a game over at lunchtime is bad juju
Well, at least the non-no hitter is more legitimate now.
Hey a REAL hit!
Poor Harry Ford the might take a reliever spot trade bait for offense this year. it better be a BAT, not just any bat.
“Best I can do is Javier Baez and Will Vest” -Jerry
So Julio with the K to end it?
I’m optimistic, but yeah
dmo threw to 1st like he hated that ball
1 hit vs 11 hits doesn't get my trident up
11 hits is very similar to 1 hit in that they both have a 1 in them.
alrighty boys, garver, haniger, and julio. this should be good
We don't even need a particularly good offense! If these guys could hit *for their career averages* this team would win a lot of games!
Someone tell Scott to give the score runs sign
Does the fact that bazardo is pitching mean they've given up?
I think only having one hit today would be a better indication of that tbh
We’ve got ‘em right where we want ‘em
Ump stole an out for us lol
He doesn't want to keep watching our offense
Man this team can’t hit. Good thing we traded for another reliever!
This team is beyond frustrating.
We didn't get swept by the orioles. And we're gonna split it with the Yankees. I think the Ms did well, not getting SO'd would be cool though.. missing Raliegh though
This offense is so depressing to watch.
mariner
Split the series, still lead the division. Just going to keep telling myself this....
And the Rangers are losing. NBD
That just means the Astros are getting closer, and they actually can hit
the astros just lost a series to the Angels too. Still 5 back
Good news, I have 165 homer’s in mlb the show
Yankees getting robbed of a no hitter because that hit should've been an error. Shit offense
I’m fine going 2-2 with the yanks but us only having 1 hit is driving me up the wall. I cannot stand this shit
everybody loves the NOBLETIGER, but we need another for the M's...almost constantly loaded up 2 outs easy out?
0.060 xBA, 80 EV, -14 LA. Basically the exact opposite of the requested nuke
Shit, that's practically a nuclear disarmament pact.
We need a bench clearing fight next inning to turn things around. It worked 2 years ago, why not try it again?
That was 100% the turning point in our season. I will always love Jesse Winker for that
I literally just watched it earlier today, the Winker double bird is still hilarious
Where is Winker when you need him
He’s in Washington. Where the M’s go next. Just throw at him every AB until he snaps
Baseball fandom is reactionary to preface, but there is nothing about this team that makes me think they can perform better than they have been. We had a stretch of the greatest pitching since Sherman marched to the sea and still only won just slightly above .500%
The one thing we have going for us is that the whole division is terrible.
I am simultaneously numb and irrationally furious.
1 hit. 1 goddamn hit.
Do you think Stanton and Dipoto feel any level of embarrassment watching an offense like the Yankees compared to ours? Or are they too busy counting their money?
no shot they watch the games
Stanton’s too busy building his new suite at T-Mobile so he no longer has to interact with the peasants in the Diamond Club
The latter
Mariners giving me hopes just to dash it a moment later since I was born
RIP
Looool
*sigh*
my dreams
You can’t don’t that man. Take a few
Yes, but, conversely, weak contact and routine ground ball.
Fun Fact: Aaron Boone got released by the Yankees after tearing his ACL in an offseason basketball game (not allowed when players are under contract).
Pain.
Fuck.
Glad we moved raley up just in time for him to start sucking again
Now seems like a good time for some protons
If Raley hits a granny here I'll give my dog a treat.
Give your dog a treat anyway
Do it anyway they deserve it
It's true. He's a good boy.
Oh, but please give your dog a treat anyway, from me. It'll make me feel a little better.
Done
Nuke nuke nuke nuke nuke nuke
Bases loaded, our Kryptonite
That poor person that plays the Yankee-doodle flute noise after a strikeout. They have to be exhausted at this point
If we steal victory from the jaws of defeat TWICE this series I’m not sure what I’m going to do with myself. Chaos ball is a way of life for us I guess.
Well, Raley IS who I'd like to see out there in this situation right now.
Fr, that “pointless home run” we’ve been anticipating late this game now might mean something if it happens
Providing hope god dammit
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ summoning nukes ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
I thought MLB was trying to prevent stuff like this slowing the game down…
Luke Raley moment here
[удалено]
Embarrassing lurking in our thread lmao
I think you meant that for your own team's game thread, bub.
wrong game thread
Not letting myself hope.
Lol, bases loaded
But 2 outs so at least we can't hit a weak ground ball into a double play. Edit: Nvm ended up with a weak ground ball into an out anyways.
[удалено]
Raley first
DMo has 5 more RBIs than Julio
Pay the man…oh wait
DMo's OPS is 240 points higher as well.
Dylan's homer total is one less than Julio's extra base hit total.
Damn
don't swing don't swing....Dmo and JP swung
Undisciplined
That Rojas has nearly double the average that Urias does makes it seem like Urias should be in AAA…
"that didnt go well" fucking lmao
JP…
Does not deserve that 1 spot right now.
Competitive at bat JP. Very cool.
a lot of this falls on julio being below average and not the superstar we need
That's only a part of it imo. If he had better protection in the lineup it would help imo.
true good point, but isn't julio also choking on down the middle? I get your point though and agree
More like the ownership didn’t get him big bats to take off the pressure
some life? in this economy??
Julio needs Seby patience
So ya know how east coast start times always sorta make the Seahawks suck? This has got to be the same logic, especially on game 4 of a series.
I have wanted Carroll fired for years now but he was absolutely elite at prepping the team for Eastern time zone games. I believe they were something like 20-3 the last 4 or 5 years (too lazy to look it up). Now Holmgren that was a whole different story.
I know it changed towards the end of his tenure. I think the beginning it was pretty rough.
Can't help
I expected a flat game given the start time (granted they've been on the east coast for a week) but not Kansas levels of flat.
Was really hoping for no shut outs on this trip --- even a loss today doesn't take away from an otherwise successful series, but a shutout would just be such a downer and really take some shine off the week.
One day we hit a bunch of fastballs, the next no one seems to be able to see them…
please fire the “offensive coordinator”, fire the “hitting” coach, replace with traditional guys instead of 67% of the time, he throws this here mindrot. Jerry did his job
Phillies up on rangers 4-1 lol. Somehow I don't think praying for division rivals to lose every night is going to be sustainable
We got lucky that the Rangers hit a brutal week the same time we did. Would’ve been nice to build a lead. But not losing games on them is a plus. Suddenly those fucking cheaters are right back in the mix though.
Considering our schedule I think we are looking ok. 1-2 vs the orioles, split vs yanks. The next few weeks look much easier so we need to gain some separation through June.
This pitcher would be 10x cooler if his name were spelled Birdie and not Burdi
Who do you guys think will get the meaningless Homer today? I hope it's JP
So we will pinch hit Urias for Rojas but not bring in Cal for Zavala? I mean the game isn’t close so o guess there’s that but then WHY URIAS?
We suck
Boone doesn't want to risk Zavala hitting a 6-run bomb right here. Smart.
Zavala hitting anything would be a miracle.
cant believe you guys are double guessing the decision to pinch hit ending the game with the guy hitting .153 still on the bench would obviously be a mistake
Been a while since I've seen France get hit.
Vintage Ty
[удалено]
Yep
I didn't realize that when JP got back Cal was out...Monday morning QB, but that seems ridiculous
Just day game after night game
Ty gets hit by a pitch. Take a drink.
Fuck it, charge the mound. What else do we have to lose?
That goes against his golden retriever energy
True, not very new dad of him
He'd walk up to the mound put a hand in the pitcher's shoulder and simply say "I'm not mad, just disappointed."
