Well, the Mariners have now lost 5 games in a row and they have lost those games thanks in mostly the bullpen. But in hindsight this team 5 games ago was one game under .500 and since then it has been a nightmare to watch this team. The bullpen cost us every game in Cleveland and the starting pitching has been just as terrible. The Mariners hitting have been in a rut as well as they cant hit with runners in scoring position. Point that I am making here is that changes have to be made now! One change that has to be made is Aaron Harang. Eric Wedge has made excuses over and over and for some reason I really think he's so stupid that he forgot he had an experienced pitcher down in Triple A Tacoma in Jeremy Bonderman.
He also has Andrew Carraway, who has been putting up great numbers in Tacoma going 4-1 with a 3.19 ERA. Wedge is another problem to me, he and Jack Z must go. Jack has said in one of his interviews that this team is rebuilding........we have been rebuilding ever since 2010 that's enough with rebuilding the fans want results! Eric Wedge is just in my opinion a horrible manager who makes excuses for poor performances when Lou Pinella would have said it to the media and the players face that they suck. The Mariners have to do something to make this nightmare stop.
For 5 games the Mariners pitching staff has allowed an average of 7 runs in this losing streak. The Mariners have gone from a team that fans want to go watch, to a team that fans don't want to waste their time with watching. I read one tweet today saying that they wasted $150 to watch their games on DirectTV since they live on the east coast. I cant wait for Dave "Softy" Mahler tomorrow to rip on them because he tells it like it is and the fans will put in their 2 cents as well on the phone calls that he will take. To me the Mariners are playing like the Houston Astros and they look like they are getting worse.
Nobody knows what has happened to this team after the series in New York but whatever did happen they need to get over it and get some unity back and play like they were in New York. With now sinking to 6 games under .500 the Mariners have to pull themselves together and play again as the team who were a threat in the AL West and who got the attention of the media of being a playoff contender. Changes need to be made and they better make them now.
