In the second edition of the in-game Mariners fan poll, we asked fans how many home runs would the Mariners hit tonight against the Astros.

They hit zero. The Mariners are on pace to hit zero home runs this season. Through two games last season Robinson Cano himself was on pace to hit 162 dingers.

53% of M’s fan voted for the M’s to hit one home run tonight. They were wrong. The 6% of you Mariners fans who voted for the M’s to hit zero home runs, you must be psychic or something.

You are also some negative Nelly’s.

There were probably some Astros fans that snuck onto our page.

Last season the M’s hit 223 round trippers. That was good enough for third in baseball, helping the M’s achieve a +61 run differential. Nelson Cruz with 43 homers, and Cano with 39 of his own.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner has two more home runs than the Mariners this season.

In fact, he’s tied for the league lead in that category. Yes, it’s early in the season but it’s still funny. So far there are three former M’s who have hit home runs this season. They are all first baseman.

Adam Lind who signed with the Washington Nationals this offseason has one.

Logan Morrison hit one on Opening Day for the team formerly known as the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

Mark Trumbo, who M’s GM Jerry Dipoto has traded away twice in his career, hit a walk-off home run for the Orioles to open up the season.

However, there is no reason for the M’s and their fans to panic… yet.

The Mariners can still go 160-2 and all those people who are saying the Mariners season is already over will have to eat their words.

The M’s will eventually hit a home run this season, at least I think so. You know what, I am going to go ahead and predict that Jean Segura hits a leadoff home run for the Mariners tomorrow.

That’s right you heard it here first folks. Maybe that’s what tomorrow fan poll will be.
