Why don't their 25 "leaders" (all of whom, apparently, think that abusing reporters with HoF credentials is just fine) step up? Or is performance something that needs to be handled 'internally'?

Doug Fister is now 0-5 with a wonderful 7.46 ERA and 1.86 WHIP

 

Cy Young!

 

Hard to believe, but allowing 2 runs in 2 2/3 innings last night actually lowered his ERA from 7.54 to 7.46.

The Curse of the Fister continues.

 

s***** team attitude, manager with no control.

2011 is starting early this year.

 

I sometimes wonder if that the real reason Lester didn't get a contract.

Fell asleep in the 11th inning. Woke up and saw the score..... Honestly pissed but not surprised in the least. Just garbage. After today the Yankees will be first place in the division.

Man the Mariners play by play announcer is a legendary level of annoying.

 

^^This!

 

He's been on my "list" for several years now.

Last night's game was the worst kind of heartbreaker. We took a one run lead TWICE and couldn't hold it, and our pen is usually pretty good.

 

That said, today is the day this team turns things around. You heard it here first!

I sure hope so! If nothing else the Yankees taking first place today should light a fire under this teams ass.

The Seattle Mariners are the zombies that keep returning from the dead.

 

Ultimately Seattle's postseason hopes are likely to die but to date no one has hammered the nail in the coffin.

I don't get it. Not for lack of trying. You mean Lester had a poor attitude?

 

I just want to know what you mean.

The kid with the long hair looks promising. What was given up to the Yankees to acquire him?

He was supposedly one of the starting pitchers, along with Becket and Lackey that were partying in the clubhouse during games.

He won one game in Sept.

In the August 31, 2016, trade for outfielder Ben Gamel, the Seattle Mariners dealt teenage righthanders Juan De Paula and Jio Orozco:

Gamel, the 2016 International League Most Valuable Player, started the 2017 season in the minors but has posted 2.0 fWAR in 78 games with the Mariners. Gamel's current .321/.373/.462/.835 line in 336 plate appearances is bolstered an outlying BABIP of .416. Last night a Seattle radio broadcaster noted that the absence of opponents' defensive shifts against Gamel, who sprays the ball to all fields, likely contributes to Gamel's unusually high BABIP.

 

The Mariners are pleased with the performances of rookie outfielders Guillermo Heredia, Mitch Haniger and Gamel (along with veteran Jarrod Dyson) to the point that Leonys Martin, who posted 2.2 fWAR last year, remains in the minors.
