T1:

Segura singles to CF
Haniger swings and misses at strike 3, umpire calls it ball four, Segura was running, McCann guns him down, and Altuve tags him in LF as Segura run way past the bag. Hinch out to argue it's not a dead ball and Segura can't overrun the base. No dice. Segura to 2B
Cano...quickly 0-2...1-2...grounds into 3-6-1 double play, Segura to 3B
Cruz...0-2...1-2...taps out 1-3

No score

The Gurriel 3-6-1 DP that he started in top 1 after having to react quickly to his left portends well for the astros having another plus defender at 1B.

Not trying to make excuses for giles but the first baserunner should have been rung up and the whole inning might have gone differently. That said, still gotta make pitches.

It's hard to feel down about starting the season by taking 3 of 4 from a division rival... but jesus fuck, this offense.
I wouldn't be so worried about a random sample of 4 games if we hadn't seen this exact same shit for months at a time last year.

Or maybe it's just that the Mariners' staff is going to be stupid good this season, which would be a whole different problem...
