    Espada is a moron - Seth Martinez facing their power hitter throws a meat pitch?

    He is a very limited situational pitcher...ugh.

    I mean......that was a giveaway.

    He hasn't been sharp at all. Mariners were squaring him up all game. But Seth Martinez was a bad choice.

    This series no matter the result today was a costly series for the Mariners especially if their best player has to miss time.

    Yes, Espada told Seth to throw it down the middle of the plate. What a moron!

    That was the logical pitching change considering recent usage... just didn't work out

    True the team has done well without Tucker but it's hard to feel the Mariners will thrive without Julio. The Stros have more offensive talent to withstand offensive injuries than the Mariners.

    Exactly! How stupid can you be, really?

    Why the **** did Espada tell him to throw the ball right down the ****ing middle?

    Blanco should never enter an inning with 80+ pitches for the remainder of the season.

    The worst part about today is this happened *with* extra rest. Hopefully it's just a bad game because extra rest is probable his only hope to be effective thru September.

    Same amount of HRs as mariners. Difference is they hit homer with runners on.
