2-0 down is like 14-0 down with Pineida on the mound and the Braves offense…
When is Tommy Hanson gonna realize, the MARINERS are 1st pitch swinging?? 1 HR and 2 2B on the 1st PITCH

This game is over. May as well rest McCann and Freeman right now (our only hitters who aren’t complete garbage) and get them ready for tomorrow.

I know Tommy’s probably feeling his way along after being out, but the first-pitch 90-mph down the middle is just not working.

Baller, I just checked and he has never hit .280 in his life(Unless you count high school and little league). Highest average was .276 and has never been in the .270s again and never been in the .260s. A lot of .250s and lower though.
Schafer might get his sprints in tonight the way it looks.
Hanson is struggling. Get him out of there. Too many sliders and fastballs topping out at 90 – 91. Doesn’t look to be himself.

Big Red is not gonna last past the 4th inning…I can taste a long relief outing by C-Mart!

Regarding Dan Uggla, I really believe his approach at the plate must change, and, if he cannot change it himself–he has to get advice from someone else. The orders to him to accept and implement some ‘changes,’ must come from the skipper–basically, if Dan is resistant to change or help….he must have a ’sit down’ with Mr. Wren….potentially sooner than later.

Good work getting out of the jam. Now maybe the Braves hitters can show some patience and Fredi will quit giving outs away with his “running game”

Betcha McDowell came out and told him they’re sitting on the FB first pitch. He threw more curves to the 2 hiiters after that visit than in the whole game til then.

Compare this year’s group of losers in the lineup to our 2003 lineup. It is ridiculous. Imagine if we had this years rotation and bullpen paired up with that lineup. Yikes.
Furcal, Giles, Chipper, Sheffield, Andruw, Javy, Castilla/Derosa, Robert Fick/Julio Franco
How could we lose with those guys?

That’s right Frankie Wren, continue to NOT do anything to improve your club’s offense and they will be 8 games out by the All Star break. Continue to employ a leadoff hitter that has an OBP below .300. Continue to employ a hitting coach who so obviously does not know what he is doing. Doesn’t know how to teach approach or adjustment. Continue to play a guy EVERY DAY that is hitting .175.
As for you Fredi, continue to not know how to construct a lineup. Continue to try hit and runs with slow runners [Freeman tonight] and hitters that have a large % of swing and misses [Uggla tonight]. Continue to play your teacher’s pet Danny Boy when he couldn’t get a hit off of a slow pitch softball pitcher.
Just keep it up guys and you soon will not have a chance at the division OR the Wild Card.

He has a no-no working. What an offense his facing though. If a pitcher throws a no-hitter against the Braves it should be discredited due to their ineptitude.
