Right, I can't see it I just think Chase thought he was closer than the 3B. IDK whether the 3B retreated back by design or if Chase was misreading it all the way

He also didn't retreat very quickly. He kept his secondary until after the catcher threw through instead of immediately retreating when the batter didn't offer. Not sure what he was waiting for, because he didn't get either a big lead, nor a running lead.

Imagine how pissed Mariners are as a team with playoff and even WS aspirations. We were expected to win 65 games or so.

Sox entered this game 24th in baserunning value per FG's metrics. That's a combination of the bases you gain from speed/wiliness, the bases lost due to speed/stupidity, stolen bases, etc. Colson and Mune the lowest value baserunners; Acuna, Peters, and Vargas most valuable.

He can't play his position and can't bat. What's he here for?

Out picking up kids but I assume this is about Acuna. Not too often you see someone beating the drum for that guy to be in lol

They've had 10 men on base through 6. Its been poor execution more then anything.

Acuna getting on base

Hell has frozen over. It’ll happen about 14 more times in his next 100 abs - if he gets that many. 🤣

Way to turn the DP !

Yeah Chase didn't really move at all, I'm not sure why. If it was a right-handed batter I'd think maybe he was somewhat screened from seeing the ball but he should have had a great look at it all. Just a brain fart I guess.

Brash is filthy. This is going to be quick.

Feels like the bottom of the order has killed every rally this game.

I was hoping we wouldn't have to see Brash. He's so nasty.

All I can say is thank god the Mariners offense has been bad. Feels like we could have easily have been swept

Absolute eye roll.

This dude is nasty!

Yikes I thought that went off his hand

So far I think only once this inning did the hitter know that the slider was a slider and that was the time that Acuna took it outside for a ball. Maybe Mune was finally with it by the time he was swinging 3-2.

I hope that at least lasted long enough to keep Brash from coming out for a second inning.

Don't know why you let Acuna lead-off ahead of your best hitters there. Then again not sure why hes on the team.

Ballgame

That might be the ballgame

welp that sucks

😂

Let's see who the Mariners will run out there to cover the last two innings

#9 hitter first hr and rbi all year of course
