Well its been a while since I've blogged. Posting every game is a bit ambitious this year, but where have the Mariners gone since I last posted? Well for starters, they've gone 6-8 and are currently suffering through a 6 game losing streak. They're still at the bottom of the West division and its not looking good. Rebuild year for sure.
Its very irritating though, because there is truly only one problem with this team that needs fixing. The defense has been solid for the most part, with double plays being turned left and right. The bullpen has had a few issues recently, but well above the league average. It all comes down to offense.
The Mariners have the lowest batting average in the American league, second least amount of hits, second lowest amount of runs, second to last in homers and the lowest slugging percentage in all of the Big. Whats worse is if you take Ichiro and Smoak out of the equation the team batting average drops from .229 to .209.
Meanwhile, Pineda is on the way to the ROY, Felix is still legit and Vargas and Fister are on the top of their games! Damn!
