A strong .214 OBP for the leadoff hitter with a 43/5 K to walk ratio

 

De Aza with a .291 OPS against LHP

 

I'm pretty sure Ventura's trying to get fired now

Tyler Flowers has the 3rd best batting average in the entire lineup right now.

 

The last week has taken some of the momentum this team was building so far this season. It has highlighted all of the issues this 25 man roster has, and also makes 2015 seem like another rebuilding season. Far too many holes to fill with a severe lack of depth in the minors.

Its almost Ozzie like with the whole need for a speed guy that has to lead off no matter how bad he is. Brings me back to the Wise, Pierre, etc. days.

It's only 219 ABs, but the guy has a career OPS of .465. He should not see above the 9 spot until he proves he is even semi capable of hitting MLB pitching.

Abreu 2B

Go on Twitter and search "Hector Noesi" and click "all tweets". These Mariner fans are hilarious.

 

Lol you're not kidding.

All right, this thing where the Mariners do NOT crush Hector Noesi (HecNo! h/t @Brandon_Warne ) is some serious bulls*** & has got to stop.

We don't even know how to utilize the talent we have

tied up!

Nice job by the Cubans this inning!

So, um...why is PK facing a tough righty in the 7th? Did PK Month start or something?

I was thinking great spot for Conor.

Bad Tyler is here to stay, I'm afraid.

Heck of a start by Noesi tonight!

Crazy stat: De Aza had 3 homers in his first 8 at bats. Since then, he has 2 in his last 330 at bats

De Aza makes 3rd out.

Conor's lack of range showing up already on the first play he's at 3rd. As I said last night, I wonder if his recent defensive play is making the Sox question his long-term role with the team.

Should have thrown to 2nd on the bunt.

lights out Guerra

Nice job Guerra.

I still believe Davidson is the future, but he has got to show up next season or else Hahn probably goes in a different direction. I still really like Davidson. Part of that might be my man crush I developed for him in the futures game though

That was fast...Alexei can't avoid the DP lately

No way our pen gets out of the 9th against a contending team at this stage of the season.

Alexei with a great play
