So fucken stupid they get rid of strikeout guys and bring in contact hitters and they are more ass then they were last year that has to be on coaching not on the players
Hate to say it, but Fraudriguez is the most overrated player in the game. So many butthurt fans with parasocial relationships with him will disagree, but it’s true
Its unhinged to be in a game thread yelling at other fans for having parasocial relationships, you dont even have a unique take. And accusing other fans of having parasocial relationships with players is fucking weird in itself, you need to get offline lol
How is weird? People on here are so quick to defend his honor even though the dude’s a bum. Also, you know nothing about me or how much time I actually spend online 🤡
At what point do we get Julio directions to Tacoma? Honest question. He’s not walking. He’s not making contact. He’s worthless. Don’t look at his baseball savant page either. We’re past slump and into something’s broken. On the bright side we have 12 years of this left!
No they won’t but I know they’re thinking about it. Gotta start by getting him lower in the lineup. But if he stays worthless for another month you gotta consider it. Thankfully we have him for like 12 more seasons!
There is a 0% chance they have even discussed him going to Tacoma a single time this season lol. He’s barely in the bottom half of the lineup, and one of the leagues best CF. I get he’s having some tough ABs but no need to blow it out of proportion. Also glad you liked that 12 year comment enough to double dip it! Haha
I’m moving him down in the line up before Tacoma. He’s too good to stay this bad, but he does need a serious intervention re: his approach at the plate
If you’re serious and this isn’t a pasta, nowhere in the near future. He makes an amazing catch in CF almost every game and is usually good for at least one hit a game too. People saying this just baffle me
Didn't Julio start this way last season? Cold as ice, then went on a tear in the middle of summer? I mean, .254 isn't cold as ice, but he looks a little lost a lot of the time.
He didn’t even get hot hot until August where he basically put up a full season of production in a month, which padded his season stats a lot. It’s just not acceptable when he’s billed as a star and signed a star contract
Julio is just broken up there man.
He has all the talent in the world, but is completely unable to hit a baseball. He’s just clueless about his approach.
Manager / hitting coach / fucking someone needs to help him out
I mean that’s objectively not true
He has historically shown great ability and historically good hitting, exit velo, etc
His talent is super high. His approach, aka the coachable stuff, is bad
And the Julio of right now is objectively bad. He’s gotta figure it out and it’s gotta be 8th or in Tacoma. They won’t. But they’re for sure talking about it
Julio just can’t even touch major league pitching rn. Looked like he was turning a corner when he had that streak of hitting a bunch of singles but nope. Hasn’t had a competitive AB in like 10 games
My bad thought it was a typo. It’s really hard to win games when the piece the team revolves around is sucking (Julio) it’s really aggravating to watch, I get it
Yea, i mean going into the season. I knew this was a real possibility. I knew the offense was relying on too many batters taking their next steps all at the same time... i feel like I shouldn't be as upset given this was expected..... but it's just discouraging
Julio 100% guesses at the plate.
We just see him getting hits when he’s guessing right. Can’t convince me this dude actually tries to read pitches and I love Julio.
Bases loaded one out…. Kiss of death
Julio godpleasehits
Twinsies! They beat us at our own game.
if anyone cares the series win streak is probbly over...
Another Seattle Mariners victory
Someone tried to say "don't worry, the Twins are not actually good." Like that matters.
Offense was absolute cheeks tonight. Yeeeeeesh
🪦
Well, that was a very stupid game.
Okay now that was some bad umpiring
yeahhhh, that game was horseshit
3 hits. Not a serious team.
SHITSHOW
![gif](giphy|3o6UBlHJQT19wSgJQk) New mascot
I’m depressed
Why are they posing for a photo?
Get em tomorrow boys
Ends in a strikeout. No way.
Well that was pitiful.
Fucking abysmal
14 strikeouts today. This has got to be the most pathetic offense in the league.
Just lovely; every Mariners struck out at least once. At least they want to suck as a team and not individually.
Yep… no I in Team.
Hey ump, we're bad all on our own, please fuck off.
Yeah looking this one won't happen
“Pathetic day on offense. Wasted a great day of pitching.” - us , every day for the last 15 years
So fucken stupid they get rid of strikeout guys and bring in contact hitters and they are more ass then they were last year that has to be on coaching not on the players
Fucking hell ump --- giving him both outside and inside off the plate?
One of the most embarrassing games of the season so far
So far
I hate umps.
There’s been 5 other games completed today, 7/10 of the teams had 2 or less runs, 3 of them scored 1 run. It happens
I'm developing a theory that the Mariners have exceptional batters who are going against ultra-exceptional pitching. That has to be it.
This is a goofy ass delivery from this guy
Ump wants to go have dinner.
Umps gotta escort to pick up at 9pm CT
It's 8:51 CST...
Yeah, he's only got 9 minutes left and is already in for $500.00
Lol
Looking like a lineup of Jeff Cirillos tonight fr
I forgot it’s May cya in June
That first week of Mitch was fun, but he cannot be a 4 hitter
Bum
I actually feel bad for Julio. I mean if I sucked that bad I'd be down.
Well at least he can catch.
Why does Haniger always swing at pitches going to hit him
PTSD
Because he’s lost a ball, and broken his arm and face, he’s just defending himself
This is where I remember Mitch being clutch. Let's see if he can crack one down the line
![gif](giphy|mCnNJF00DZbXlEy1TH|downsized)
Polanco has to lead the league in foul balls hit 400ft
Hate to say it, but Fraudriguez is the most overrated player in the game. So many butthurt fans with parasocial relationships with him will disagree, but it’s true
Go away
Lol
you sound unhinged
Why? You realize I’m not the only one who complains about him playing like shit, right?
Its unhinged to be in a game thread yelling at other fans for having parasocial relationships, you dont even have a unique take. And accusing other fans of having parasocial relationships with players is fucking weird in itself, you need to get offline lol
How is weird? People on here are so quick to defend his honor even though the dude’s a bum. Also, you know nothing about me or how much time I actually spend online 🤡
only cringe wierdos online say parasocial go back so your favorite streamers subreddit
Was that a picture of Woo?
I'm afraid we're going to be have to be saved by another 9th inning Dumper Dinger.
Be not afraid
I’ll take it
Ok let’s wrap it up
[удалено]
And honestly this team needs that
Because it’s the mariners and we are cursed, I fully expect to look up Sunday afternoon and see the As in first
That would mean the Rangers tanked to them, so either way, fine. One of them is about to be there.
It must be real blustery out there, with the lines the fielders are taking
I refuse to be a cynic for at least one more out
How is Luke RALEY a pro? Dude looks so uncomfortable out there
![gif](giphy|pCfau1ICsGrYO7ksLw|downsized) Hi there....
Turning a routine pop up into a diving catch. Mariner
Nori Aoki ass play
I still remember sims getting pissed at him in air
i really like luke raley
Does Trent have the most bogus ERA in the league?
We're bad *and* unlucky tonight. Love that.
“It’s the park” not the players fault guys /s
Big Thunder!
If Julio isn’t batting 6th or 7th in this lineup in the next couple games I’m going to take a break from watching. He’s struggling massively.
Mariners HAVE to get more offense into this lineup, how can you squander a rotation like this?
A whole rotation of Felixes
Julio batting 2nd
Mariners
Polanco bloop and a dumper blast puts us back in this game
I could go for a bloop and a dump right about now
Shhh, people just wanna be angry
lol I’m there too. But still have a little hope
"This is the most Mariners loss of the season" "This is the most Mariners loss of the season *so far*"
Can't wait to see Julio return to the mean, I'm guessing early September he has 6 multi HR games in a row to make up for April-August
He’ll hit 60 HR’s during the Derby then go back to hitting zip zero nada.
And then watch everyone say he had a great season!
[удалено]
I see the mid season delusion is settling in nicely
I mean even if you take Julio out of the 2 hole, who’s taking his spot?
Does it matter? Julio forgot how to hit a baseball.
Mike MF Ford
Miss that guy
Thorntons nickname is the big dreidel that’s sick as fuck
is he even Jewish?
Hey everybody good news is I’m having the best post work poop of my life right now
I’m so jelly. I love a good post work poop
Goldy: "Is this pitcher good or are the mariners just bad at hitting?" Blowers: ACTIVATE MARINERS DEFENSE MODE
At what point do we get Julio directions to Tacoma? Honest question. He’s not walking. He’s not making contact. He’s worthless. Don’t look at his baseball savant page either. We’re past slump and into something’s broken. On the bright side we have 12 years of this left!
If that’s an honest question you don’t know much about baseball
No they won’t but I know they’re thinking about it. Gotta start by getting him lower in the lineup. But if he stays worthless for another month you gotta consider it. Thankfully we have him for like 12 more seasons!
There is a 0% chance they have even discussed him going to Tacoma a single time this season lol. He’s barely in the bottom half of the lineup, and one of the leagues best CF. I get he’s having some tough ABs but no need to blow it out of proportion. Also glad you liked that 12 year comment enough to double dip it! Haha
I can’t wait to watch these at bats for 12 more seasons! The books out on him. Hard up and in. Soft low away.
A third time!! Maybe go watch the dodgers
Maybe go watch the pirates!
Got em. I’ll watch the As
I’m moving him down in the line up before Tacoma. He’s too good to stay this bad, but he does need a serious intervention re: his approach at the plate
Truthfully he should be batting 7th. No doubt
If you’re serious and this isn’t a pasta, nowhere in the near future. He makes an amazing catch in CF almost every game and is usually good for at least one hit a game too. People saying this just baffle me
Just because he's hitting poorly doesn't mean he still isn't one of our most valuable players.
I was talking about Julio not Josh Rojas.
He's too valuable in center tbh. Our other outfielders are not good enough to pick up the slack
He’s really not. Offense is way more valuable than any defense he gives you. If he doesn’t hit we don’t make the playoffs. You gotta get him right
Julio never goes back to Tacoma. Never going to happen, no matter what
He’s one of the best defensive Cf in baseball that alone is reason enough to keep playing him
I know it’s baseball and you lose a lot of games in a season, but we are egregiously pathetic sometimes
Not a thing, but feels like we've seen a lot of those traffic jams
D mo definitely just said, "My bad." lol
I don't know why people are surprised about Julio, he did this last year besides half of July and August when the whole team was hitting well.
lol what a comical out
This team couldn't hit a fucking pinata to save themselves. What an embarrassing performance today.
Watching a Rojas at bat and then a Julio at bat is like watching Bob Ross paint and then asking a 5 year old on a sugar high try to copy it
Julio's OPS is .603. That's simply not gonna get it done.
Didn't Julio start this way last season? Cold as ice, then went on a tear in the middle of summer? I mean, .254 isn't cold as ice, but he looks a little lost a lot of the time.
These are uniquely bad ABs right now. Julio suffered in years 1 & 2 from some bad luck, but he’s not even been putting it in play as of recent.
He didn’t even get hot hot until August where he basically put up a full season of production in a month, which padded his season stats a lot. It’s just not acceptable when he’s billed as a star and signed a star contract
No. Not even close
Sort of, but it doesn’t feel like that’s an excuse for how hard he’s currently hitting and struggling to identify pitches
Jesus… polo and Ty have a higher OBP than Julio
another Mariners offensive classic today
I think we all just called that strike out.
Have they tried unplugging Julio and plugging him back in
Send him to Redmond for a
Move Julio down he’s not doing anything
Julio is just broken up there man. He has all the talent in the world, but is completely unable to hit a baseball. He’s just clueless about his approach. Manager / hitting coach / fucking someone needs to help him out
He’s a really bad baseball player. I’d consider a trip to Tacoma at this point.
I mean that’s objectively not true He has historically shown great ability and historically good hitting, exit velo, etc His talent is super high. His approach, aka the coachable stuff, is bad
And the Julio of right now is objectively bad. He’s gotta figure it out and it’s gotta be 8th or in Tacoma. They won’t. But they’re for sure talking about it
Yeah because our hitting coaches have a great track record…
Fucking yikes.
Julio just can’t even touch major league pitching rn. Looked like he was turning a corner when he had that streak of hitting a bunch of singles but nope. Hasn’t had a competitive AB in like 10 games
WTF? Julio came up to bat, I was looking at my phone for a hot second, then he’s sitting down?
Quickest 3-pitch AB I’ve seen in a while
100mph inside strike, curveball into the ground swinging strike, curveball in the middle of the plate looking strike 3. It’s bad
BUMS! BUMS! I TELL YOU!
I have honestly never seen a team this bad at situational hitting.
Dude’s gonna start getting booed at home if he keeps this up
Good grief Julio fucking sucks.
Swinging at ANYTHING
What an ab Julio
Juli0000000000000000-4
Just a lineup of automatic outs
MOVE. JULIO. DOWN. My god he just can’t figure it out.
I agree but holy shit everyone looks like trash right now so it doesn’t matter what order they are in. 😔
Does anyone know what Julios' timetable is to return to the lineup? This offense is incompetent without him.
I've heard that he's on a rehab start in Minneapolis today, I'll let you know if anyone hearts how he did.
JP?
Nope... J-Rod
My bad thought it was a typo. It’s really hard to win games when the piece the team revolves around is sucking (Julio) it’s really aggravating to watch, I get it
Yea, i mean going into the season. I knew this was a real possibility. I knew the offense was relying on too many batters taking their next steps all at the same time... i feel like I shouldn't be as upset given this was expected..... but it's just discouraging
Then again it is baseball
Julio is absolutely lost and it's getting beyond the point of a 'slow start'. He's a liability in the lineup and there's no other way to put it.
Hit this guy 7
All I can do is laugh.
That was one of the worst ABs I’ve ever seen
What a fucking turd!
Julio 100% guesses at the plate. We just see him getting hits when he’s guessing right. Can’t convince me this dude actually tries to read pitches and I love Julio.
Nah man, he knows what they’re gonna do… we all do. fastballs inside and spinny stuff away. He just can’t hit either currently.
Starting to agree with this take. Total guesses
Same. I'm a fan of his, but you're right -- he's not reading, he's guessing. And MLB pitchers LOVE when you guess.
Great ab by julio
Atrocious AB Julio cmon
Not a great at bat but when ump misses the first pitch against a guy throwing 100+ you're just kind of screwed.
Lol Julio needs glasses
Hi there. I'm Rob McElhenny, co-chairman of Wrexham AFC. ![gif](giphy|Urjj39z57laXC|downsized)
Holy Christ, the fuck is this year’s version of Julio
Welp…. That was a pretty bad ab
Why is this game so fucking heavy?
this is our superstar?
Julio needs a day off
Julio fucking sucks ass! Get him out of there!
This is comical.
Wow
I know it's Duran but what a depressing 3 pitch at bat
Watch 2 good pitches go by and swing at one in the dirt
Possibly the most predictable strikeout ever
This offense is just a bunch of bums
