Cal Raleigh has committed the mortal sin of implying that the people in charge of the team could have done more. For that, we will love him forever. Ride or die with Big Dumper.
I think my favorite part of the game last night was the part where Big Dumper came off the bench to hit a pinch-hit walk off home run with 2 outs on a 3-2 count to send the Mariners to the playoffs and end a 21 year postseason drought. That part was cool
Robbie Ray was traded because he has a large contract and theoretically wouldn’t be able to help the team much in 2024. In return, they got Mitch Haniger who…has a large contract and isn’t helping the team in 2024
Sailors. My friends. My beautiful people. YOUR Seattle Mariners are going to the PLAYOFFS. And I need every single one of you to drop a

The
@Mariners
have now had their starter notch 4+ strikeouts while allowing 2 or fewer ER in each of the last 15 games.
That's the longest streak by any MLB team's starters since ER became an official stat in both leagues in 1913 (no other team has had a streak longer than 12).
San Diego Padres infielder Tucupita Marcano is facing a potential lifetime ban for betting on baseball, sources tell ESPN.
While Major League Baseball's investigation into Marcano is not complete, a penalty, as
@lindseyadler
and
@jareddiamond
reported, could be imminent.
My favorite thing about watching the Mariners is that every series the broadcast crew will have to say “and now coming up to the plate is Weak Contacterson. He’s hitting .208/.250/.217 this year. Against the Mariners, he’s batting .350/.425/.700…and there’s a home run”
The NFL has a 4K camera in every pylon and you can see if a football touches a single blade of grass. MLB is like “is it a home run? Who’s to say? Is eye witness testimony even reliable in a court of law?”
The thing about the Astros is that from the fans, to the players, to the front office, to the social media admin, they’re a cohesive unit. It’s a completely braindead unit, but it is a unit.
Folks that is a walk-off win to finish a series sweep and complete a 7-2 home stand for YOUR first place Seattle Mariners. May I please, respectfully, get a big ol’

Kyle Seager, team hall-of-famer, will finish his Mariners career with zero playoff appearances because his bosses could not be bothered to try at all in what they decided would be the final offseason of his time here. Embarrassing, and shameful.
Here’s the thing, and I know most of you know this: If the Mariners lose this series, it’ll be expected. If they win this series? Well…it’ll be one of the funniest things that’s ever happened
Me, a fan of the Houston Astros, who have a World Series title and 3 appearances in the last 6 seasons: I want to always remember Game 1 of the 2022 ALDS. I will wear the graph shirt
Just like his career, Kyle Seager’s retirement announcement is simple, direct, and effective. No need for flourishes, not verbose or emotional. He just gets the job done.
We love you, Kyle. So thankful to have watched you play over the last decade.
The Mariners have a multi-run lead in a playoff game and the ace starter they acquired at the trade deadline just absolutely shoved for 7 shutout innings. What world is this. I’m levitating
Hey. It’s supposed to be fun. When they stink, and when they’re good. Thank you to all of you who took part in making this season an absolute blast. I love ya, kids. Lemme get one last

I’ve gotta tell ya, as bummer as the end to this season was, listening to the best players on the team publicly educate their own front office on how to get to the next level is extremely cathartic lol
Ok so now instead of thinking about how funny it would’ve been for the Mariners to win that game, think about how funny it would be to lose that game like they did and STILL win this series
Folks that’s a series win in New York over the best team in the league, with no France or Julio and your new

It’s been WAY too long since we’ve done this. Folks, that’s a series win in Houston, four consecutive series wins, and Astros Twitter is shrinking into a corncob at an unprecedented rate. May I PLEASE. Get a very hearty

When Ichiro said “I guess I’ll just die” in response to what he’ll do when he stops playing baseball, he wasn’t lying. Man is out here dusting high schoolers just to keep his lifeforce going. I love him
I need the Mariners to go deep in the postseason for a lot of reasons, and one of the main ones is so I can continue watching Andres Muñoz send hitters into an existential crisis
Way too much

happening on here right now, but a doordash guy got way more money than he ever imagined he would today and I think that’s pretty cool
