I have a feeling the matiners are going to fuck this up. I also have a feeling the moves they make will be of little consequence.

[@phays10]

Why is Jim saying they are still winning after dropping multiple series?

[@bigmike4962]

Miami could get back in it if they played the Mariners every game the rest of the year

[@jasonjames6637]

there's an answer to this mariner's lineup. That Scott service wouldn't be able to figure out ever. He don't hold players accountable, he plays favorites. He's a lame duck manager. If you make any amount of money on this team, you have to be in the lineup which is complete b******* Get rid of France and hanniger ASAP.

[@jasonjames6637]

Don't want to hear a word about ford trades with How bad cal is offensively not a chance puck

[@PuckSports]

8th best slugging percentage in baseball among catchers. Second most HR and fourth most RBI. Get past the average.

[@jasonjames6637]

@PuckSports yeah ok how bout 35%strike out rate and 4% walk he would be fantastic if he quit hitting right handed ✋️

[@Azeria]

It’s incredibly difficult to measure how much a catcher influences the pitchers as well. It’s possible this pitching staff is only as good as it is because they work with Cal every day.
