@@fredyuen2489I get what you're saying but given how well he played in his first season, putting him in tacoma wasnt going to benefit him. He's just putting too much pressure on himself
I have NEVER seen a team that strikes out so much on fastballs. It’s like the entire organization has never heard of OBP. They have starting pitching that’s incredible. But if you can’t hit or even get on base, you’re just wasting everything.

Notice how not a single former mariner from the post-Lou pinella era stays in Seattle. It’s a franchise problem. The mariners don’t have a clue how to manage players. Former Seahawks stay in Seattle, even Sonics players live here. Mariners can’t get out of town fast enough and that’s because the franchise treats them like garbage
They have a great rotation and solid bullpen. The offense is horrendous though. They need to add 3-4 big time bats at the deadline if they want to contend.
Seattle doesnt have a worst fear, the ownership has been bad for over a decade. This is nothing new to anyone that is a fan of the team. Never spending money on talent, not firing a terrible manager until its too late, an offense that has talent but the coaching cant actually develop it.
If Julio Rodriguez is your problem, you have no problems. Julio HAS NO ONE HITTING BEHIND HIM. He gets dog dirty pitches at every at bat and we're not paying him for walks. Get Vlad Guerrero and slot him at 4. Don't be Upid Scott and throw him in the 5 or 6 spot as that is disrespectful. Oops! He already did. Put him permanently where he belongs -- in the 3 slot with VG behind him.
@@Byron-bb4ho many factors at play - it’s not considered the best of destinations, we have a Money Ball, anti-player management, a pitcher’s park and so on. Tough to get good numbers given those issues.
The biggest problem for seattle as a lifelong fan I see right now is paying the core we have when the bats in the pipe come up in the next 2-3 years. Julio needs to be julio and this year has been rough however
Julio is going to be just fine,you ask the management in Seattle and I bet they say different. Lets not forget he is practically just a kid, growing pains and learning curves are all part of the game.
The Mariners problems are named John Stanton and Scott Servais. John isn’t interested in fielding a strong competitive team and Servais wouldn’t know how to make the lineup even if he had better players to put in the game.
Julio is not the offensive player he's gotten credit for, he's a prima Madonna, needs to focus on fixing the hole in his swing then doing promos and commercials
the issue is not him, these guys that have been good all their career come here and just can’t hit, garver, polanco, teo last year, adam Frazier, so many more
@@DugoutDiariesi believe it’s the coaching because when edgar was our hitting coach we were one of the best hitting teams in baseball, so i think it’s wtv their approach is to the plate
He can bounce back , the entire league is struggling offensively this year , there’s only like 10 guys in the league that are having above average years
He was 3 for 46 in one stretch! During this current home stretch he has batted in almost every position! Still not getting much production! No need to panic yet, he needs to find a grove and build from that! Baseball is a game of little things, bunts, stolen bases, extra base hat and runs. Those are things the mariners DONT DO! It’s also not options they have many opportunities to do since they haven’t been able to get many hits off of anyone! It it weren’t for the long ball we would be in last place in the division! A 10 game lead not long ago now down to 2! ✌️! We’ve got the pitching just not the hitting. 🤷♂️
@@Byron-bb4ho I’m not talking about the last two years, I’m talking about most years and the majority of the mariners existence. It’s usually a hot start at the beginning and then everything falls apart after.
@@fredyuen2489 in that case, sounds about right. Sorry for the cognitive dissonance, this team has broken my heart too many times and I fear by september they will yet again. We should start a mariners fan support group or something
M's offense isn't great at all, and offense is down across the whole league and tons of players are having down years. Vlad, Bo, Springer, Randy Arozarena, Corbin Carroll. Before being injured Acuña was on pace for 13 home runs and 50 RBIs over 162. Hopefully Julio can figure it out, as he has all the tools.
So an incredible player is going through a slump in only his 3rd season, and it’s time to hit the panic button? 😂😂😂 Whatever you do, do not go back and look at any hall of fame careers. I promise you’ll find some terrifying things that would destroy you. Literally everyone goes through slumps. He’s young. Hell, he got off to a slow start last year and then he went off. At some point, as baseball fans, we gotta stop putting so much pressure on our “stars” to be perfect. Not everyone is gonna be Albert Pujols and hit 30 HR/100+ RBI for 10 years straight. Hell, there’s very few Hall of Famers that have ever been that consistent. These guys are gonna have some struggles and figure out how to adjust. And with him being as young as he is, he has to learn how to make adjustments. Everyone just chill out. He’s way too good to stay in this slump. And even if he does, it’s his 3rd effing season. 😂 Dudes got a whole career ahead of him. One year isn’t gonna make or break him. Chill. He’ll be fine.
You forgot to mention Julio totally choked and disappeared against the Astros last September with the division on the line. He was awful and struck out in just about every at bat that series. Neris even toyed with him and punked him, it was a total humiliation.
@catbreath8361 given his performance this season and the fact that we're giving him up to 400 million over 20 years I don't think that's a very good idea. Plus we love him out here
@@thelonewolf7443 he's got the highest upside out of anyone the mariners have developed since a rod and if you've been following him since we signed him in ifa he was a powerful right fielder and he turned into a potential 5 tool player at a premium position
He'll turn it around but it doesn't help he plays in Seattle's t mobile. I would trade him for a big package of pitching and some bats that can get on base and hit for contract.

It landed in the first few rows….
Where he at now
I think you forgot that Julio struggled the entire 1st half last year as well.
Leaving bases loaded the last 3 innings of today's game 😅. Leading the most in striking out. Pitching won't help that.
I think Julio turned it around, but the is undeniably a big step back for sure
Seattle are pretenders, I just don't see them beating any of the elite teams in the playoffs

216 batting average for the Mariners. They strike out too much. Houston will easily pass them and everybody knows it.
