I mean, you're essentially down 4 offensive players to start the season. Altuve, Uncle Mike, Bregman slow start, Abreu doing what he's doing.

Yordan hit a mini slump. Pena starting out rough.

Is Julks still on the team? Once again, Dusty sleep walking. No way in hell Hensley should be batting.

Who's playing first? Ditching the DH?

I'm not saying it's going to happen, or anything, but IF we manage to pull this back out then the entire city of Seattle may go on suicide watch

Showed some good fight at the end there, but that's an insanely frustrating and unlucky loss to swallow.

That Mariners offense is absolutely horrendous but of course caught some absurd lightning in a bottle

Dubon is the worst .299 hitter over ever seen when down in a count in a pressure situation

I am surprised he didn't touch either of those fastballs.

Still an opportunity for a series win tomorrow, which is ultimately what matters.

In positive News France looked good and Brantley, Altuve, and Chas are nearing returns from the IL.

Worst inning since the 8th of 2015 ALDS Game 4?

I wonder what metric/status they have on Stanek that makes him choking in high leverage situations way more likely which kept him out of the playoffs? Heart Rate triples? Hands start shaking uncontrollably? Dude just poops his big boy pants

So, let's take some stock. Sure, 2 walks, no good. But 4 hits. 1 check swing special, seeing eye deep in the hole, pitch in the left hander batters box taken to center, and a pitch in on the hand flared to left.

The two cookies weren't any good, but man, the other 4 hits were the mariners living right.
That little dribbler that bounced off the mound and found no man's land between Monterro, Pena and Bregman. A ball hit like that has to have what, about a 0.1% chance of being a hit?

You know Abreu dings tonight.
is anyone else worried he might just be done as a great baseball player?

I mean obviously he will turn it around some but has anyone ever non-injured hit this bad for this long and then come back to play at an all-star level?
I know I'm way late to this question, but...

Abreu's last 3 years OPS+ average (not counting covid 2020) was 124. It's currently sitting at 48.

As a comparison, and I know it's probably not a great one, when Josh Reddick really started to fall off in Houston, his OPS+ went from 97 in '18, to 89, 89, and 76 in Arizona.

I am reaching the point that I will be pretty surprised to see Abreu get it much above 100.



A final thought: 2017 Reddick had an OPS+ of 130, the highest in his career.

Problem is none of those guys get Bregman, Abreu, or Maldonado out of the lineup.
