## Resource

Bryan Woo is holding himself and his teammates accountable, admitting the Mariners’ struggles aren’t fixable by trades but require the current roster to step up—especially after his rough road start pushed his ERA to 6.71. He insists no new player can solve months of underperformance, stressing it’s “us” who must turn things around. With key offensive chances squandered and no protected spots for underperformers like Refsnyder and Wilson, the team needs a second-half surge from the middle of the lineup. While stars like Julio Rodríguez and Cal Raleigh believe in the offense’s potential, Woo’s self-criticism underscores that belief alone won’t win games—production must follow.
