We let them have this one. We’ll just have to get serious next time.
All that, just to catch the L anyways.
I really hate that they’re going to give me hope that next year will be different.
Dairon Blanco terrible base running sent us to extras 😡
Look at the bright side: this was like 85% on Jordan Lyles and the team won’t be good until he is out of the rotation anyway
I know it’s dumb to be mad about losing a meaningless game in a lost season, but goddamn do I hate watching the pitching staff give it up over and over and over again. Just horrible.
PS: Sign Bobby, Sign Maikel, Sign Vinny, Profit.
Almost won in spite of Lyles. Damn.
Nevertheless, let’s all take a moment to give praise to our lord and saviour Robert Wobert Juniobert
Every time a relief pitcher comes on, my immediate reaction is in utter dissapointment, because I know they will just give up a few runs. Always takes me a couple seconds to realize there’s basically no better option in this crappy bullpen.
Also Lyles. I’m dissapointed by Lyles too
We want pitchers not belly itchers. I
Mariners fan here. Couldn’t find a mariners stream so I tuned into your announcers and just wanted to say they were a joy to listen to. You guys played us super hard, good luck with the rest of the season
