But I thought the people that know said he wasn't slumping it was all about the injury??? I knew last year 'slump' was bullshit. I am repeating myself, but he was taking 100 pitches a night on the machine after games. You don't do that if it is an injury. I think he is just scared to step into pitches now with all the times he has been hit. I really do. His ass goes towards third as he swings towards the dugout on outside junk, He used to drive it the other way. That was the guy I enjoyed watching. This guy is done.

As one of the people that thought he knew, I'm starting to doubt myself on what I thought about France. The more I watch him, when he gets on base it's mostly weak singles. There's also just something different about his approach at the plate. He hit so well from 2020 through the first half of 2022 and has been garbage since.

Wonder woman bobblehead. just what every mariners fan wants.

That is the second time this year I have seen Crawford give Julio the cold shoulder after a near collision. Why is Julio always almost crashing into his teammates. I know CF has the right of way, but not if the others have a play on it. That saying was from when non fielders played in the outfield for their bats and let the CF run free. Athletes should be too good for that these days.

I wasn't referring to anyone on here. More the talking heads on TV/Radio. I knew it was BS the minute he had the 10 game streak and then fell off again. Then the BP article came out.

My theory like I mentioned is that he is pulling off balls. He was killing balls away taking them to RF. Fear of getting hit is the only thing I can think of. He better start having fear of not getting paid.

Julio caught looking twice. He needs to stop guessing and just look at area. Swing at anything in that area. Ahead of it, behind it, who flipped cares. Just swing at it.

So a 35 year old with a 5.50 era is making us look stupid. Ya sounds about right. Trade them all. I really don't care. When I laugh at them more than I get mad at them, I know they have lost me.

 

[WizardHawk]

That'll do it.

 

[NWinAZ]

That is what you are suppose to do with a pitch down the middle. We take it or miss it. Good for Twins.

 

[WizardHawk]

That'll do it.

For sure now

Do these guys not know how to yell? At this point if there is a play anywhere near Julio’s zone they should be screaming at the top of their lungs or risk the J-Rod Show to run them over…….Jesus this is madddening!!

And there it is, Dan Wilson mentions how efficient the old man has been tonight. Next will be to talk about how nasty his stuff has been, excuse me while I vomit. This team sucks!

 

[AceKeptic]

All that and one freakin' hit...

We are so intent on throwing this season away, we might as well just FOLD.

 

[NWinAZ]

Idea. Sign Murphy to an extension and trade fast ass Cal.

 

[Mariners_44]

Maeda now with 9 strikeouts

 

[Mariners_44]

Cal has become absolutely worthless!

Trade Cal, call up Harry Ford to back Murph, and give Murph an extension.

 

[AceKeptic]

Oh, so NOW we're on the board?

Too little, too late, isn't it?

 

[cezero]

2 hits through 6.

Such a reliable disappointment.

 

[NWinAZ]

Maeda's last outing he gave up 3 runs in 3 innings...to Oakland!!!
