The remaining crowd, about 30-35k just gave Rick Rizz a standing ovation until he acknowledged us. Can’t write the history of the Mariners without him. Legend
Sell Marshawn Lynch as much of the
#Seahawks
as he’s willing to buy. Kam too. It means nothing to Allen’s group and is excellent PR for a team that could really use some.
The Seattle Mariners are in first place again. Second best record in the AL. Maybe they’re good? And still going to get Mitch, Torrens, and Sewald back. Yeah
About a month ago, I tweeted the Mariners realistically needed to go 18-12 in their final 30 games before the break to be serious buyers at the deadline. They’ve gone 22-7 since…
MLB Network didn’t put Cal Raleigh in their top 10 catchers. Amongst catchers with more than 300 PA at the position, Raleigh ranked 4th in fWAR, 8th in wRC+, and first in home runs. As if that network couldn’t be a bigger joke.
Astros booth trying to create a false narrative that the Mariners have a “history” and “reputation” for this kind of thing.
Meanwhile HOU have hit SEA batters 15 times this year (compared to 7 the other way). Also worth mentioning the brawl was instigated by Angels/Nevin.
Mariners fans chanting the name of a journeyman minor leaguer in his first at bat… it’s a sleeping giant man. Put a winner on the field and it’s going to explode
Selfishly, I’m annoyed at how quickly people are realizing how great Aaron Goldsmith is at calling basically any sporting event. I want that guy calling
#Mariners
games for the next 3 decades. Don’t take him away from us.
The
#Mariners
are a half game behind the Angels, 1 game back of the Yankees. They could be the second team out in 24 hours. Oh and they’re just 4.5 games behind Houston and 6.5 back of Texas. Buy. Buy. Buy.
Took an hour for
#Mariners
fans to start bitching about payroll after they acquired a Top 20 bat and a viable 3B option for one Top 10 prospect. Baseball may not be for you if that’s your attitude
Steven Souza still on this team and the Mariners haven’t addressed his calling kindergarten teachers “groomers” 90 minutes before first pitch. Shame on them.
It’s not unreasonable to say that the Seattle
#Mariners
are the second best team in the AL entering the off-season. Remember, nothing rolls over in 2023, so it doesn’t mean anything. But still, it’s an easily defensible statement to make.
I’ll lose every fucking follower I have. I don’t care. This account will never shy from politics. What the Supreme Court is doing is an abomination. Call your congresspersons & senators, your state rep, your governors office, etc & demand action. Women deserve bodily autonomy
I know we all want Marcus Semien, but can our reaction to this trade be “the
#Mariners
just got a lot better today” not “well now they’re obviously not getting Semien”? Because Frazier is a HUGE upgrade to what they ran out at second last year.

Jarred looked so happy when he told people he changed his walk up song to “Take me home, country roads” so they could sing. Let’s make sure we honor that on the next homestand
You got your ass whooped 3 times in that home stand, and you won the other 7. 7-3 is a great fucking homestand, don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. 17-11 is a great fucking month too. 98 win pace. Don’t let two random blowouts sour you
So we know the
#Mariners
made strong offers on Bryant, Story, Semien, and Gausman. At least those 4. You can bitch about the payroll all you want, but saying they’re cheap because they didn’t “go after” the big guys is a straight up lie.
They were not intimidated. They did not look overwhelmed. They looked totally in control from the first pitch to the last. No bad mistakes. It’s hard to imagine a better playoff debut for this squad. Maybe find a way to manufacture a run or two, but you’ll take that every time.
Reigning AL Cy Young winner Robbie Ray and the Seattle Mariners are finalizing a five-year, $115 million contract with an opt-out after the third season, sources familiar with the deal tell ESPN.
Tons of credit going to Woo, Julio, and Cabby, rightfully so. But don’t forget about Mike Ford, who started off the ninth with a leadoff single against one of the best relief arms in baseball. He’s been exactly what the Mariners have need him to be since he entered the lineup
Mariners fans: boy it sure would be nice to beat the Astros
Astros fans: you haven’t made the playoffs in 20 years
Ms: yeah that sucks. What does that have to with anything?
AF: we aren’t afraid of you. We don’t even think about you.
Ms: okay.
AF: we’re gonna kill you
Just wanted to say this so it doesn’t get lost in the shuffle: my hats off to Robbie Ray. Played a big role in the
#Mariners
breaking the drought, was unfairly criticized down the stretch, always stood there & took his lumps on the chin. If he was healthy last year, they win ALW
The Mariners will be without their two All-Stars, half their bullpen, and a starter with a 80 pitch limit going against arguably the best team in the AL… they’re winning this game
The
#Mariners
have risked some relationship with Frazier, Haniger, and Winker for about $4.1 million. Or a little under 5% of their total payroll right now. Not a good look guys
One of my favorite things about Julio is that he TAUGHT HIMSELF English as a teenager. I don’t care if he speaks English, but he did. He even demanded to do interviews in English to work on it. I can’t tell you how incredibly impressive that is for me.
Tonight sucked. But it shouldn't dampen your enthusiasm for tomorrow, Sunday, this winter, this rebuild, or this team in 2022. This isn't the ending. It's the beginning.

#SeaUsRise
The most important part of the J.P. Crawford extension? A message delivered to that clubhouse. You put in the work, you get paid. JP is good a leader as he is a shortstop. The team is choosing to extend guys like Marco and JP. Seems like a good sign.
Yesterday was the best day to DFA Steven Souza, who likes to call teachers “groomers”. Today would also be good. You wait any longer and the Mariners are, in effect, not disagreeing with his statement. Haven’t seen any of the mainstream reporters even talk about it either. Shame
Holy shit the Mariners hate Jarred Kelenic. You’re downgrading defensively up by 3 needing 6 outs just to get Dylan Moore to the plate who’s just as likely to make an out as Kelenic? Cool.
The
#Mariners
cannot leave July with Justus Sheffield in their rotation. There is no way around it. Right now, he's flat out bad. And every start you give him this year is a probable loss. He's not a big league pitcher right now. Frankly, he's not all that close either.
Let’s make this perfectly clear for everybody: the NFL didn’t postpone the game. The teams did. The NFL’s solution was to give the teams 5 minutes each. That was their answer. The teams told the league to fuck off and because of that, they eventually made the right decision.
I’ll say it: Julio Rodriguez will be the all-time face of Seattle Sports if he wants to be. Bigger than Griffey. Bigger than Marshawn, Bird, Edgar, Russell, James etc.
Mike Ford entered the night slashing .167/.250/.500 and a 107 wRC+. He’s gonna end the night with a slash of .273/.333/.818 and a wRC+ of 214. Ah small sample sizes. Fun stuff
Per a request, takeaways from
#Mariners
game:
1. Mariners Twitter is quickly becoming quite toxic
2. Kirby was okay. Shame they screwed up the change in the 5th.
3. Julio is already a star.
4. Wyatt Mills isn’t a big leaguer
5. Suarez looks like he might be heating up. Good
John Clayton is one of the most legendary sports writers in history and was a staple of the Northwest sports scene for as long as I can remember. RIP to a true legend. Damn I’m shocked
As great as the prediction is, the call is also incredible. Rizz in literal tears laughing as Dave delivers. It’s perfect. Also, put Rizz in the hall of fame already. He’s more than earned it.
After the
#Mariners
lost 4 of 5 against the Angels, we said the team needed to go at least 18-12 in their last 30 games before the break. Since then, the team is 13-7. 12 of their last 15. Exactly the type of run they needed. The team has done their part. Time for Jerry to do his
League tells Julio he threw punches. We know JP and Winker did, they got 5 and 7 games. In press release, they say Julio was suspended “for his actions”. Super vague. Sounds like MLB is trying cover it’s, and it’s umpires, ass more than administrating justice. Shocking, I know.

I feel like the
#Mariners
FO was really hoping they’d get a reason to sell this weekend. The team didn’t give it to you. They’re 16-9 in July. They’ve won 3 series in a row against playoff teams. Most of the losses are a direct result of lack of depth. Fucking push some chips in.
Well guys, at least Julio already looks like a fucking star. Gilbert’s been pretty good. JP and Ty look exactly like we thought they would. I’m running out of positives…
On May 23rd, Jim Moore wrote an article saying, “The Seattle Mariners are Bad (Again)”. Since the article was published, the team went 56-32. A 103 win pace. Jim Moore is bad.
Hey, the
#Mariners
have been rolling out Mike Ford, Steven Souza, Cal Raleigh etc out at DH lately. What if I told you that the Mariners can go get a player hitting .260/.348/.490 for next to nothing that is guaranteed to be a fan favorite?
The

heroes of the game: Robbie Ray, Matt Brash, Andres Muñoz, Diego Castillo, Carlos Santana. They cost Seattle: Taylor Williams, Austin Adams, Dan Altavilla, Austin Shenton, JT Chargois, Wyatt Mills, and Will Fleming. Chills

Hey… don’t watch Skip Bayless’s apology tomorrow. Or retweet him. He’s been a piece of garbage forever. You want him fired? Block him on socials, stop watching his show, and make him irrelevant.
Just so we're clear, at first pitch tomorrow, Hector Santiago will have served a longer suspension than all of the active players involved in the Astros scandal... Combined. Totally reasonable
