The Seattle Mariners limped into the All-Star break as losers of three straight games. The M's started out a promising road trip at 3-0 but then dropped the three games to the woeful Los Angeles Angels, each by one run. They are now 52-46 on the year and lead the Houston Astros by 1.0 game in the American League West.
While many people will focus on the home run allowed, or on the questionable bullpen management by Scott Servais, the offensive issues cannot be ignored. And, as pointed out by M's Insider Luke Arkins on social media, the Mariners offense is now in the midst of some bad company.continue to move through the season, they are going to need to figure out a way to get more going offensively. Fifty games is more than half the season. The Mariners offense has asked its pitching staff to carry it for FIFTY games, which is unacceptable.
