      I don’t really feel bad for Trout because he decided to re sign with them a couple years ago. He had his opportunity to get out but he didn’t. Yeah, tons of money is cool and California beaches are cool, but he could be on a contending team right now but he actively chose to stay in that disgrace of an organization.

      That could apply to any team, even the Yankees. I moved to Seattle from San Diego in the first week of June 2021; at that time the Padres were one of the best teams in baseball and the M's were stuck in the basement. Then of course the Pads had their dramatic collapse in August, while the M's started winning game after game and just missed the playoffs by a hairsbreadth.
      So yeah, anything can happen. I personally think you'd probably do well to bet on the Yanks to reach the Series this year (unfortunately), but who knows; they could also collapse after the All-Star Game.

We started the year hot then it looked like we were the same ole same ole mariners. But then we win 21 of the last 24 games and 13 straight as of today the 16 of July and we are right back in the mix. We have already overcome adversity and injuries. After the break we will be healthier and maybe Kelenic will come back and be the robin to Jrod Batman and we can have one of the best young OF duos in the league and keep the winning going throughout this year and years to com.

    I am 23-years-old and a lifelong die-hard Mariners fan. I am waaaaay more optimistic about this team than in years past, mostly because of how well they take pitches close to the strike zone that would have been swung at and missed in years past. That being said, I’m practically the most optimistic in my friend group about this team. One of my friends’ mother works for the Mariners and he was convinced that during their slump during late-May and early June this team was done for, heck everybody seemed to be. However, I said at the time: they are going to slump for these next few weeks, then play about .500 ball until the All-Star break. After the All-Star break they will slowly get better and keep on the same pace as last season but make it this time. Basically they’ll get better as the year goes on. That same friend who was convinced this team was done for, especially when they were 10 games under .500, told me that if this Mariners team makes the playoffs, he’ll cover my entire bar tab for the next few times we go out. Needless to say, I took him up on that bet, and that was before the win streak.

    Guardians are gonna be really good soon. They have the youngest roster in all of baseball (a roster so young that it's younger than many triple-A rosters), as well as the 3rd lowest payroll. The fact that they're still mediocre is impressive. They're very inconsistent, but that's expected with young teams. If they continue to develop right then they could be very dangerous in a couple years.

    As a Mariners fan I do have my worries we might blow it but winning 13 straight like they are doing right now is not easy and normally isn’t a fluke. This team has a great mix of young and veteran talent and they are gelling right now. They have Hanny and Klew coming back after the break which should do nothing but make us better and give the opposing team more to worry about. If only Kelenic was living up to his potential as quickly as Jrod has this team would be even scarier and even more enjoyable to watch. You can’t but like this team. There just fun.

We should be buyers sure, but I feel like we should only get people that we can also use next year, when we'll hopefully have actually good pitching (between Maeda coming back and Duran developing). I feel like our FO is just going to dump everything into this year only for us to add 3 more games to our playoff loss record.

  • @KDUFFRadio

    Honestly, fair point on the Red Sox. That series sweep to the Rays this week was a microcosm of everything wrong with the team: horrible bullpen help, key pieces dealing with injuries, and only Devers or Story giving a damn about swinging at hittable pitches. Two bats working out of nine does not constitute a strong hitting core, Cora. Yes, Bogaerts, Cordero and Martinez are starting to shape up, but the rest of the batting order is supposed to be sculpted like Michaelangelo’s David and playing like my six year old cousin’s Play Dough blobs.

    I've been pissed off at the Mariners for years. I'd been calling them the 'Munglers' and saying that they'd been phoning it in for 25 years, generating just enough wins to put asses in the seats, but only paying one or two players the real money. And they completely wasted the careers of Ichiro, King Felix, and the unsung Kyle Seager. All that is very true.
    But last year an enormous **POP** was heard in Puget Sound and all of the sudden the Mariners management, coaching staff, and players all suddenly pulled their heads out of their asses **at the same time** ! Seriously, I think it broke windows down in Portland. From the ASG onward, the team played with drive, guts and... [dare I say it] balls. No not baseballs... daddy bags, cojones, jockstrap ammo. Only a mid-August slump of losing 5 in a row kept the team out of the playoffs... they missed the cut less than half a game.
    That trend has continued into this season, much to my surprise. As I write this the team has just taken two of three from the Fucking Yankees and are traveling to a home stand with Anaheim with a 1 game lead in the Wild Card hunt. The Astros are still our kryptonite, but we share that stat with the rest of the AL.
    So I have a lot more respect for the Mariners than I've had for the last 20 years. I said I'd quit calling the team 'Munglers' when they started trying, and by God that's just what they did. Time to go buy a jersey.

    It's the pitching that's the real strength--every one on this staff (expect Chapman and Losaiga's combined 38 innings) has been brilliant, they've somehow kept Taillon and Severino healthy...I hope they collapse in the ALDS like the best Yankee teams of the last twenty years have, but I'm terrified they might actually get number 28...

    I was born in 2001. That was the last time my beloved Mariners made the playoffs. Please, for the love of god, make the playoffs. I want to know what it’s like to be happy.

    Funny if you speak to a Yankee fan right now, you’d think the team hadn’t won a single game yet. My biggest fear comes playoff time, especially with the series we’ve had with the Astors, who are most likely going to be our opponent in the ALCS if we get there. I’m gonna enjoy the ride and hope they finally get over the hump.

      Yankees aren't that great this year. They were just given an Easy Spring Schedule. Regarding the Astros, Yankees are only 2-7 Against them.
      Astros will make short work of them. That is, if the Twins Luckily Eliminate them from the ALDS.

    The Orioles are the real life 'Major League' Cleveland Indians. One of, if not the lowest payroll in baseball, made to be bad, and now they might relocate. I hope they pull the ultimate Major League and make the playoffs

      @@andyjay729 I was 6. Remember reading 10-11 years later that it was discovered that the As were using Steroids, LaRussa was close friends of two of the Umpires, and they had made multiple bad calls(including the Double that Conseco had actually missed calling it a safe) and that LaRussa had Bat Boys spying in the Dugout, so they were indeed stealing signs. But the WORST was the Steroid Use that LaRussa had been well aware of and COVERED up.

    As of tonight, the O's are one game below .500 and the Red Sox lost 28-5 to the Blue Jays. Hot take: O's don't finish in last place this year. Also as of tonight, Tree's predictions if you flip the Twins and Houston, would be exactly right. He got all the wild card teams in the exact order.
