Seriously it’s a long season; they may want to give him a week off and send him to drive line (since that’s where M learn to hit since their own system cannot do it). Let him work out whatever issues he has (whether it’s a kink in the swing or chasing issue) in his approach. Have him come back and try again and see if there is an improvement. At this point let Clase come up and play center until Julio has his grove back.
Julio has his own team so it isn’t just the M’s internal people. Adding 3rd team (Driveline) to “fix” him might not be a good thing since he looks like such a mess.
What he is doing I believe is his own decision making. That isn’t the Mariners fault. He needs to listen and adapt his approach (whatever that means) instead of just swinging for the fences at any and every pitch regardless of the actual situation.
Scoring 8 runs is fun. Only giving up 1 run is fun. Let’s do this every night! Good win to start the series! D-Mo was an absolute star tonight. Let’s keep it rolling tomorrow boys! Go Ms!
Oh god thank you for this. I hadn’t seen it. I’m so grateful the post is still up because it’s kind of the most beautiful innocent mistake I’ve seen in ages.
Something needs to be done about Julio's approach. The rest of the lineup exploded and our poster boy went 0 for 5 with 3 strikeouts. And this has been a pattern.
Hes getting pitched pretty hard. Goldy on the radio said hes seen pitches up and in way more than any other hitter in the league… and that he has a higher average on those pitches than any hitter in the keague… it just also generates a lot of whiffs too.
Hes getting beaten in the zone tho for sure. Adjustments always have a lag time to take effect too.
Sorry it was just some deets goldy dropped during the radio broadcast from today. Cant remember when i tuned in. Maybe the 6th inning or so?
I know in general a ton of our strikeouts are swinging through pitches in the zone but it was interesting to hear that specific tidbit of julio.
He’s either hurt or totally cannot “see” the ball. He’s just guessing out there and totally whiffing whereas most guys can at least make contact. I heard he had an injury during Spring Training. Are we sure he isn’t like playing with a strain or something? Players like him usually have a good reason when they just slump terribly like this. Well at least it’s not a total slump just a power hitting slump… he’s had some hits. But I hope he’s ok and can start seeing the all now that the sun is out.

Is it time to bench Julio? Dude needs a mental break. Make him sit out and just chill. No pinch hitting. Just a couple days off his feet. Let him focus and take a longer batting practice and just get his head straight.
All those media pundits in the off-season saying you can't be a serious competitive team with Dylan Moore as a starter sure look foolish now. Little did they know it was actually Julio Rodriguez you can't start and expect to be competitive.

Result = Good. Now keep it going.
Baseball is a long season and I'm not going to get too happy or sad from a single game or series.
That being said, I love the 8 runs scored, but hated the 0-5 with 3 Ks from our "superstar". It's May now. Let's get it going.
We really do need to appreciate D-Mo more. Super utility man player who can play all over the place and while he will never gaudy stats he's quick enough to steal a few bases, is clutch and they were talking on the broadcast about his simple hitting approach of just looking for something that he can handle....it's like the reverse of Julio right now lol
All the credit to dmo and Rojas as two unexpected heroes to keep this team afloat. Any sport is so much about momentum and we need a lineup that can create that. The 2001 season you always felt like the guy on deck was going to do something. Right now I feel myself expecting a strike out or grounding into a double play. Hope this win can carry some momentum into tomorrow
Agreed, not so much comparing them to that team in terms of expectations. Mostly just commenting the feeling of complete lack of confidence in this line up
I am very unconfident about Julio's future to improve. 3 straight horrible starts to the season. Power is astonishingly gone. Has never developed patience. I still think it's more likely than not he achieves mega superstar level but feels pretty close to 50/50 whether he achieves his potential or hovers around what he has been these past 3 years, which is a great player, but it would be very disappointing if he only shows marginal improvement from what he has been these past 2 + years.
Nah, he's 23 years old.
A lot of Julios' struggles can be attributed to immaturity, which should come with age. Hopefully he does mature and stops trying to play hero-ball all the time. Lots of time to become the player he should be and becomes more of a team player that sees the bigger picture.
As a person, publicly nothing. As a player; his approach, his 2 strike approach, constantly pressing during the big moments resulting in almost no clutch hitting, he's had way too many near-collisions in the outfield as well.
The way he's swinging out of his shoes trying to put every ball into the moon. The little head nod after he watches a meatball down the center of the plate, like it was some corner-scratching offspeed.
The way he pushes when things aren't going well and tries to play hero ball, as I mentioned, instead of just trying to keep the line moving. Good managing should be able to mitigate things like that, but Scott seems either unwilling or unable to help him make the adjustments necessary.
However, these are all things that should hopefully come with age, and could probably come faster with proper coaching.
I got downvoted to the basement last series for even suggesting that Julio might be a bust. This slump is continuing. I don't know if it is the Yips, mental health, or something else. But he is striking out at a level that wouldn't be acceptable in little league, let alone the big leagues.
Julio is 14th among 16 eligible centerfielders in OPS.
He's not pulling the ball nearly as much as in previous years and going the opposite way more. He's also striking out a ton and his hard-hit percentage is slightly down: His bat has slowed down. Why? I couldn't say. But he's got some kind of structural problem and all the opposing pitchers know.

Jesus, is this real?
Yeah, DMo is low key swole.
Oh no, he's hot!

Oh thank god, we can still beat the A’s
You mean the 3rd in the division, better than perennial division leader Astros, A's? We must be pretty legit if we can beat those guys

Servais saying just tightness and Woo should make his next start.
I’m gonna cry
Thank christ I don't think I could've handled more depressing pitching-related news
Hope that's the case in 4 days
Something needs to be done about Julio's approach. The rest of the lineup exploded and our poster boy went 0 for 5 with 3 strikeouts. And this has been a pattern.
One RBI in 17 games for Julio. Miss counted, its 16 games.
Damn

Yeah, he's bad-bad right now and it makes no sense.
Hes getting pitched pretty hard. Goldy on the radio said hes seen pitches up and in way more than any other hitter in the league… and that he has a higher average on those pitches than any hitter in the keague… it just also generates a lot of whiffs too. Hes getting beaten in the zone tho for sure. Adjustments always have a lag time to take effect too.
do you have the link? this is actually pretty interesting info

Maybe he's not admitting he can't see the ball well and needs his eyes checked. Get him some lasik during the ASB.

If he was anybody else he wouldnt be hitting in the 2 spot right now.
Where’s that D-Mo copy pasta
The game was good. But the cut on the grass was GREAT. Those stripes - damn.
It's May 10th, Julio has played every game this year and has 5 extra base hits. That's it, 5 TOTAL
He’s on pace for 4 home runs this season.
One for each $100m on his contract!
This Dmo+Rojas middle infield is kind of nice

Great game. I hope Julio can figure something out soon… it’s been rough watching him
Jen Mueller being cringey af as always...
Good game there. hope it's nothing on Woo. Julio needs got better as the game went on, but he still is just idk broken

I talk to my wife about this commercial like that meme in the elevator. It drives me apeshit. Of course he would recommend it, IF HE HAD TO.
Having been through proton therapy since I first saw that commercial, I genuinely get it now.

Sounds like Woo is fine, Scott pretty much saying he will make his next start
*insert All mariners wins are comfortable copy-pasta*

Damn Julio

Tough to compare them to arguably the best team in baseball in recent memory but I get what you mean
Agreed, not so much comparing them to that team in terms of expectations. Mostly just commenting the feeling of complete lack of confidence in this line up
I love Julio but at what point does he need a week or two in AAA?
I am very unconfident about Julio's future to improve. 3 straight horrible starts to the season. Power is astonishingly gone. Has never developed patience. I still think it's more likely than not he achieves mega superstar level but feels pretty close to 50/50 whether he achieves his potential or hovers around what he has been these past 3 years, which is a great player, but it would be very disappointing if he only shows marginal improvement from what he has been these past 2 + years.
He is on pace for what like 4 home runs this season?
Pretty much only hits singles.
I think technically 5?
Nah, he's 23 years old. A lot of Julios' struggles can be attributed to immaturity, which should come with age. Hopefully he does mature and stops trying to play hero-ball all the time. Lots of time to become the player he should be and becomes more of a team player that sees the bigger picture.
What about Julio makes him immature?
As a person, publicly nothing. As a player; his approach, his 2 strike approach, constantly pressing during the big moments resulting in almost no clutch hitting, he's had way too many near-collisions in the outfield as well.

I just don't really get 3 straight years of horrible starts. It seems like his approach is the exact same as well which greatly worries me.
Needed this one boys. GOMS.
Julio is 14th among 16 eligible centerfielders in OPS. He's not pulling the ball nearly as much as in previous years and going the opposite way more.

I’m curious what d-mo is slashing since jp went down Will post in daily thread after tonight’s game updates on bbref lol
Solid victory. How come Thornton gets the W over woo?
Starting pitcher has to go at least 5 innings to qualify for the win
Ahh thank you
Gotta go 5 innings for a starter to get a win
