Mariners Struggle as Offense Falters | MLB News

The Mariners are in freefall, sinking to a season-worst eight games below .500 after another brutal loss to the Yankees — 4-1, with just three hits. Their offense is ice cold, swinging late on fastballs and early on off-speed pitches, while their catcher Cal Raleigh admits he’s been awful and is calling out the team for over-reliance on homers over contact. The bullpen couldn’t hold a lead either, blowing it after a solid start and scoreless inning, forcing tough pitching decisions. Raleigh says it starts with him — they need relentless energy and execution every day, not just when things are going well. They’re playing bad baseball — and they know it.
