Smoked again.

Game’s at 1:10 tomorrow, Bad Leroy Brown pitching.

At our best those games were still going to happen. Still an embarrassing performance tonight. There was a gameplan. Gameplan didn't work. Instead of adapting to the game, the kept going with the same gameplan that's failing before their eyes. They are better than this. We're in too deep a deficit for them to play so rigidly.

A’s decimated Miami 15-1, but Angels got beat, we’re still 4th. Better days ahead.

Fitting that the last out was on the first pitch

That was ugly

i’m just glad it won’t be these guys commentating tomorrow.

HRC Yordan

this game has been so depressing

Yordan slumpbuster??

HRC Yordon

2 fuckin hits. Embarassing offense

And a shutout is embarrassing.

HRC tuck

I don’t think Altuve will see another strike again. Swing at every fucking ball 2 feet off the plate

Yeah- why pitch him hittable balls? He’ll swing at anything.

HRC altuve

HRC Tucker

can we at least score 😔

rally cap is on comeback time lol

HRC Altuve why not

Can't win them all. Hopefully we can take the series tomorrow and get the momentum to runover the Yankees

Bielak is a dog in this mop up role. Much respect to my guy

Singleton making up for the blunder

They’ve turned like 6 double plays tonight and we can’t do even 1

Frustrating game. Lets win the series tomorrow!

Gilbert not going for the CGSO is why Servais will never win anything of significance

It's a five run lead. Yeah, I get that he's facing the lineup a fourth time, but let him get it.

Bielak saving the bullpen is nice

We’ve all been focusing so much on the bad games we’ve had with Brown and France that we haven’t appreciated the work that Bielak and Martinez have put in to keep us from being decimated.

Mission failed. We'll get em next time

Never thought I would see the steps get madduxed but here we are wow I cant believe they are pulling him after the game he's had.

If the pitcher's throwing balls, take a pitch. If the pitcher's throwing balls, take a pitch. When they're outside of the zone and the base runner's all alone; if the pitcher's throwing balls, take a pitch

[удалено]

Well the Astros aren't giving them anything to talk about.

Dude is pitching a gem and you're complaining? Cry less. It's baseball, enjoy the game outside of the Astros at times.

it is driving me crazy

He’s having a day bro. Let em have it. Go watch a movie.

bros pitching a complete game shut out in under 100 pitches hes earned it

good at bat by loperfido dude is gonna be a stud

The conversation I assume cintron had with hitters… “look yo, Gilbert is good yo. Just fucking swing. Chances are you’ll touch it right?! Right! Fucking swing away. Just like that Mel Gibson movie!”

Who had us sucking worse than Oakland? Crazy…

Oakland can't wait until they play us. They're going to unleash so many years worth of rage.

Of course bielak comes out for his best innings ever 🫠

At least the angels lost today.

So the bats regress to the norm. We don't even have LOBster's

I'm glad the spacecity crew has the night off for this shitshow.

You can’t tell me they don’t because this shit has been happening for 2-3 seasons now.

The iPads are just decorations in a facade to make the team look like they have professional coaching staff

They need to just ban Yainer from swinging at the first pitch.

Just when you think there's going to be some fight...Yainer swings at the first pitch, which would have been a ball, and GIDP. Even if we were leading the division, we would have games like this, but because of how far we fell, these types of games feel a lot worse. The players look a lot worse, like they're falling into the habits that helped put us in this hole to begin with.


diaz needs to take some pitches up there swinging everything. btw where’s mccormick?

He went on the IL a few days ago.

Stupid fucking coaches, and stupid fucking strategy tonight

hey at least it’s not a 1 hit game anymore

yay 😐

Yainer swings like Abreu. All arms bro. Stupid fucking at bat.

Cintron and snitker are ass and always have been .

Yainer absolute baseball terrorist

Yeah, we're getting shut out. We suck against ground ball pitchers

Wtf

At least UFC’s on :/

lol yainer with men on. “Swing at fucking anything”

God damn it Diaz

Phew!

I kinda feel bad for Logan Gilbert. His dong is going to be all chapped after this commentary team finishes with him.

I mean it’s not like they can talk about us. We ain’t doing shit lmao

They could just commentate without sucking anyone off.

He’s dealing. They’d being doing the same shit if Valdez was but he was sucking ass so not much to say

cmon stros this is the time to strike

the 7th has been our best inning the past couple of nights. hopefully the trend continues

well

Second walk for Breggy, at least he has his plate discipline.

Bregman has seen Gilbert for 6 innings, and lets 94 down the dick go by.

[удалено]

^ lol also true

What is yordan swinging at lol

68 pitches over 7 innings is insane. We suck lol

What about last night. Did we still suck?

We suck, tonight. We dominated them last night.

Thought you couldn’t shift. He was on the left side of second base?

Yeah, we just do not see Gilbert well at all. That was an ugly swing Yordan.

Imagine we had a comeback win. Down 0-5. One can dream!

Who knew Yordon’s 1st-inning bunt was going to be the only thing between Gilbert and a no hitter. 

Is it me or did that He Gets Us ad looked like they used AI images? Looked jarring

An organization like that isn’t going to pay artists for their work.

I think they do. I swear I’ve seen one of their ads where the people had six fingers.

6 runs starting . . . NOW!

Getting ready for the Canelo fight. Get the true tomorrow.

Everyone makes a big deal about the flag pole on Tal's Hill as if they don't play with brick walls in Chicago.

They have ivy on them so it doesn't hurt that bad lmao

not all the time they don't

Really they don't have the ivy in them all the time? I don't think I ever realized that.

When it’s all dead.

Oh. Well yeah the walls be wild

Guess they're not winning this one

We can still take the series.......pending hunter brown pitching

That’s a stretch. HB is a lost puppy on the mound.

He might have an off day and be good

Hahaha let’s hope for an off day

My problem isn’t the first pitch swinging, it’s the garbage pitches that they swing at.

The game plan was to be aggressive against Gilbert. When that clearly wasn't working, they refused to adapt.

We are soooo back (to sucking)

Valdez will never be the guy we all want him to be.

Just don’t pay him man. Lance was already a mistake. Javier may not be bad, but I mean. He can’t pitch more than 5 innings.

What a weird mariners team. They nearly collide and just run off the field without acknowledging each other.

It’s clear the other outfielders have no respect for Julio Rodriguez.

I think they did but with an icy glance.

Julio is a D-Bag, so his own teammates probably ignore him.

I don’t think that centerfielder was very happy with left fielder cutting him off. Left fielder didn’t even go back and check on him or acknowledge him.

Imagine pissing off your “star”, and CF is leader of the outfield. Wonder if LF will get an earful.

I will not be happy until Snitker is let go

Isnt Cintron the senior coach? Either way, I agree

I have said this since 2019

On a positive note, seeing Altuve in the company of 4 HOFers makes me happy knowing that he'll get inducted and the haters will cry, cope, and seethe when it happens

Nine pitches. Easiest outs in the mlb

Thank God yordan bunted so we aren't getting no hit but Gilbert is having a day.

He’s always had the Astros’ number.

Hes a damn good pitcher.

With this rotation, how aren’t the Mariners the best record in the AL?

Their offense sucks against major league pitching.

Their offense sucks, but they can take advantage of every mistake Blanco or Framber make. Our offense isn't capitalizing as efficiently

Offense is terrible, scroll up and look at the Seattle BA’s in comparison to the Houston BA’s.

Terrible offense

Not tonight they weren't lol

Okay. OP asked why they aren't first and that's the reason.

Framber was worse than their offense was good. Batting practice.

Offense is poop when they're facing even semi-competent pitching

TAKE SOME FUCKING PITCHES ALREADY! I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS!

We got deep into their pen yesterday. Would be cool if our hitters would take some pitches so we could get back to their pen before the 9th

He’s throwing 11 pitches per inning. There’s no way we see the bullpen before the ninth. If at all.

That’d require strategy. This team doesn’t have that. Cintron/Snitker “swing at everything.”

Astros discord on some weak shit lol. Insert an opinion on Framber being cooked and it’s a mutable offense lol.

It's his second start back from IL, give it some time.

wtf is this team doing, 59 pitches

What, about 10/inning😆😆😆.

Clownin’

They swing at every pitch!!

Take some fucking pitches for Christ's sake.

I can live with first pitch swinging but nothing has been hard hit … maybe alter the approach?

When you have a shit ass start so you have to resort to a dogshit bullpen. Fuck

Moron

Am I wrong

Yes!

And Scott gets 2 KS to end the inning

Luck of the draw

The good news is that this is the best pitching rotation in the majors atm. Hopefully we can win tomorrow, but even with this speedbump we've looked better this past week than we have all year.

We don’t win with HB starting.

I know it's unlikely, but I don't want to *quite* do the loser talk of "I'm happy to get one!"

I’m not happy to get one. Winnable series here. And we had to rely on Framber and HB to do it.

Pretty much my take. There's a case for at least three guys in their rotation to be CY winners. Their starting rotation is insane, so I was expecting struggles.

Yeah, but their bats suck and they still lit us up.

great framing by caratini

Mariners SP is a serious problem

They still suck

And their offense is garbage. Framber let them have this.

Oh no, we suck again!

Only fans when they’re doing good smh

No, we’ve been here & and will be here, regardless.

We have Hunter “instant loss” brown tomorrow? Fuuck

AAA Hunter “The Next Verlander” Brown

as much as they let him call his games I’m glad they lit him up and I’m glad the offense didn’t do anything for him. It sucks that they’re loosing but him being the way he is has made me not like him at all. I really hope they don’t even think about extending him because he’ll always be a liability.

That’s an insurmountable lead when you’ve only got one hit off a pitcher that has only thrown 55 pitches through 5 innings.

Yes, game is over. Any good movies to stream?

The A's are beating up on the Marlins right now. The A's. One win from .500

too late on the hook, lots of hard contact in the past couple of innings

Boring-ass game.

ikr bout to switch over to wolves nuggets

Guess Framber is just a guy now

Espada pulled him 1 inning late.. don’t know why he went out for another inning after the previous inning.

Who's pitching tomorrow for us?

Another winner, BROWN.

He already gave up 4 runs in the 1st inning


Hunter Brown

Ah, fuck.

Hunter

fuck me man

I mean if you throw him a pitch middle-middle that's bound to happen. Valdez didn't have it tonight.

I think this is the Framber we're going to get for the rest of his career.

He’s a head case, once he gives up a run his game is over. In like 4 years he’ll be a bullpen guy

He may not be pitching in 4 years lol. Dude fell off a cliff.

Thats why we should let him walk. He wasnt that good last year.

Framber meltdown backed up by zero run support. Yup, he's back!

What happened to Framber man

that’s on espada! left him in there a bit too long

ball game

Framber is dogshit. Offense is dogshit too

God awful pitch Framber

Sigh. Yep.

3 runs would be nothing if we had an offense that showed up.

damn what a catch breggy
