So, standing ovation for Julio Rodriguez? Dude is struggling and I'm sure it's weighing on him. Let's all make sure Julio knows that we are all behind him.
Rosenthal calling the Mariners out in this article, and I'm all for it. You just hosted the All-Star game. You were the most profitable team in 2022. You were 10th in attendance.
The Mariners are not a small market team.
Now go out and act like it.
If you added Turner to today's lineup, he would have (Among qualified hitters) the highest Average, the lowest K rate, the 2nd highest OPS (Raleigh) and the highest OBP. What are we complaining about here????
This isn't on Scott. This isn't on Justin or Jerry. Hell, this isn't even on Stanton. This is soley on the players. The way they're playing right now is unacceptable. They're flat. They're making errors, putting up terrible AB's and hanging pitches. Just embarassing.
Ty France is one of the nicest dudes in the world. He stuck around for an hour after a spring training game to sign autographs and take photos with anyone that asked.
This sucks, but it is the correct move.
Ty France has been placed on irrevocable outright waivers. If a team claims him, he is theirs. If he clears, he is still with the Mariners and can be outrighted to the minors. Because of service time, he can refuse the outright assignment
The Mariners, 1st place in the AL West, have the easiest schedule remaining in all of baseball according to win percentage.
The team with the 2nd easiest schedule? The Houston Astros, who sit 5 games back of the Mariners in the West.
"No, you don't understand. Everyone was making fun of Seby Zavala and then he went 3-4 with the hardest exit velocity while ALSO calling a great game!"
On this date in 2023, the Mariners finished the day at 37-37.
On this date in 2022, the Mariners finished the day at 32-39.
On this date in 2024, the Mariners finished the day at 45-35.
Polanco needs to be off this team before the start of this road trip. Absolute putrid at bats from France and JP in clutch moments. Just horrendous baseball.
I had to stop reading the comments left on our Turner video. I'm litterally losing braincells from the mental gymnastics people will go through to convince me that trading a potential 4th outfielder in 2027 for a veteran bat who helps you right now is a bad thing.
The chances are SLIM. However, the Mariners finish the season against the Athletics with a chance to make the playoffs. Cal Raleigh COULD hit a walk off homerun against the Athletics to send the Mariners to the playoffs.... we can dream
This kind type of reply from random fans are in lock-step with the unacceptable harassment Mitch Garver (and other athletes) receive on this website.
Blocking a toxic account like this one seems like the only way to deter its behavior.
The more I think on it, the more I like the Turner trade. Gave up BASICALLY nothing in the grand scheme of things and got back a great clubhouse presence, a professional hitter and someone who seldom strikes out. Not the move we wanted but on this team needed
When it comes to acquiring Nico Hoerner, we are all for it. Rumors have also swirled about the availability of OF Cody Bellinger at the deadline and he makes a ton of sense for the Mariners. A deal involving Bellinger AND Hoerner would have a fascinating package returning to CHI
Awful take. Ty has been bad for 2 years now. But that does not change the fact that he is a great person, a great teammate and was a big part of the first playoff team since 2001. Baseball players are more than just their BR page.
You just got swept by the 2024 Angels. In front of 39,000 people. You've officially lost your lead in the AL West.
Just dogshit effort. This is the worst, man.
As the Mariners' capped a sweep today in Chicago, the Trade Deadline lingered just 48 hours away.
Back in Seattle, Jerry Dipoto indicated that they're calling on all the big targets -- while suggesting that anyone in their farm system is on the table.
Hot take: if the Mariners wanted a glove first backup catcher with some offensive upside...
I would have rather they signed Mike Zunino instead of trading Geno for Seby Zavalla. I said it.
So let me get this straight: Luke Raley had a stolen base taken away because the umpire got too close to the catcher and on the very next pitch, the Mariners hit into a double play? Sick.
It's incredible to see the mental gymnastics Mariners fans go through to be mad about yesterdays trades. There is just no pleasing these people. They'd rather be mad.
@tmansur15
Or, and consider this Travis, doing that would do absolutely zero good. You think he wants to be this bad??? You think he doesn't know how frustrating this is? I promise you that he is taking it WAY harder than any of us fans are.
If the Mariners do not add meaningful bats at the deadline, I will no longer be a defender of this front office. I don't care that there aren't many sellers or that some guys aren't available. Either figure out a new plan or make those guys available, period.
I'd assume that they wanted to give Munoz the week off for his back. But if that's not the case, the fact that they went Clase (who has already closed out one ASG) instead of Munoz, who has never been, is lame.
Nothing is funnier to me than the fact that there was such an uproar over the whole "54%" comment last year (rightfully so) and yet here we sit on August 27th with a month left in the regular season and 54% would be 1st place in the AL West. Poetic.
Yes, Kelenic brought unwanted attention to the team. But he is not wrong. That is exactly what happened. The Mariners front office has brought WAY to much unwanted attention to the team.
"You're bringing unwanted, unneeded attention to the team"

In a perfect world, the Mariners bullpen would now be

Stanek
Kowar
Speier
Saucedo
Thornton
Now imagine if Vargas could break camp instead of, say, Thornton. Wow.
Scott Servais learned of his firing this morning from a breaking news alert on social media, a couple hours before he was scheduled to meet with Jerry Dipoto.
The Mariners and Victor Robles have agreed on a two-year, $9.75 million contract extension with a $9 million team option for 2027, a source tells ESPN. The deal also includes $2 million in bonuses and escalators.
First with the agreement:
@YancenPujols
I want nothing more than to see the guys play like they have their whole career. JP, Julio, garver and Polanco. It's impossible to understate how good this team would be the offense was passable.
According to source both
