Shut out by the Mariners.

Seven outs were on the first pitch. Holey WTF?

Even the highly respected Dave Fleming was heaping blame on the previous road trip, shortage of sleep, and injuries.

Borrowing a Buddhist parable, let's say

Farhan and Gabe went to the Buddha and asked for a miracle.

The Buddha said he could help them, but first they must bring him a mustard seed.

But there was a catch — the mustard seed must come from a team that had never experienced road fatigue and injuries.

They returned to the Buddha, and he inquired about the mustard seed. We have resolved the matter of the mustard seed, they sighed. We understand now.

We won't sign up fragile old-timers in the off-season and We'll stop telling hitters to swing at the first pitch over and over, because any dummy can see that and make you swing at junk, OH and we we'll try not to rotate fielders daily in and out of positions they have little or no experience with. ( We call it "rotation sensation" )

I say "Stuff your sorries in the trash can and play fundamental baseball."

Seven outs on seven pitches.
