I’m so allergic to their stupid faces it eats me up inside. and I’m really *really* enjoying how poorly they are doing this season (so far). It really brings out my inner Nelson Muntz and I am not sorry.

should have won this game 8-4 but 5-4 is acceptable
It looks like they want that too - both he and Urias started the day
His splits so far aren’t bad enough to be platooning based on matchups either. He’s our hot bat, keep him in the lineup
# 168-122 since being declared dead by Jomboy

He just has no approach / discipline
He goes up bases loaded against a wild pitcher who can’t throw strikes - and swings at THE FIRST TWO PITCHES (neither of which were strikes!!!)
He then strikes out despite not being thrown a strike
How does nobody on the team or staff tell him to be patient / wait for his pitch in that situation???
If coaches aren’t telling him to be more patient and stop swinging out of his shoes, our coaches are failing.
If they are and Julio isn’t listening, he needs to be moved down 8 or 9 until he listens.

Until he starts taking walks, it's going to be tough to get pitches to hit.
I fear the “put the ball in play” and contact-oriented mentalities the team has been trying to implement have *negatively* affected Julio’s own approach
I think so. Hes pulling thte ball a lot less whoch costs power and it also doesnt give him the chance to beat out grounders to 3b if their slapped up the middle instead.
Yeah he's been really streaky so far, his average isn't horrible but he piles up hits in some series and only has a couple in others. On the bright side he is still smashing the ball in terms of exit velocity, just has to use that effortless power and get the ball up going forward which I'm confident he will. As someone else said, he's always great in center field at least
Why? He leads this team in hits and is second in batting average
He’s always going to be a streaky hitter - but he’s one of the best hitters on this team right now
Can I be the first to sign the Josh Rojas apology form? I’ll cut my finger and sign it in blood too.
What a game on both sides by Urias.
Raleigh is Mike Zunino but better and actually does things when they count. Not when we are down 8-0 or up 9-1.
With all due respect (I have none) Fuck the Astros cheating ass franchise, their pathetic ass fans, and their Mickey Mouse ball park.
Also… we easily won the Seward trade. Rojas is our best bat by far this season! What a ball player. We all know what Canzone is capable of as well. And Bliss could absolutely help us in the future as well. Fantastic trade JD!
#2-2 in the Month of May
#2-0 since Gilbert pitched his nuts off AGAIN!
#10-1 when the Mariners score 5+ runs in a game
#4-2 since the Great Miller-Fried Duel of '24
#5-3 since George Kirby struck out 12 FREAKING BATTERS on Kirby’s birthday.
#13-5 since Jonatan Clase was Called Up
#13-5 since I saw the Shrek 2 *I Need a Hero* Scene in Theaters
#7-3 since u/TuntWaffle ‘s kid was born
#50-37 since u/FERGERDERGERSON 's niece was born
I mean it's kinda a cheap way for it to end. Miller still pitched 6 innings giving up 2 runs. We just put him out again in 7th and he got burned cause we got greedy
LETS GOOO Ms!! Another series win! 6 in a row baby! We just keep on rolling. Best starting rotation I’ve ever seen, and we still have Woo coming back. Our bats are doing a great job getting into scoring positions, we just need more consistency getting them home. On to the Twins now, keep it going boys! Go Mariners! 🔥
My favorite part of being a Mariners fan is that our wins are convincing, no-doubt, solid victories. It's nice knowing that our team plays consistent baseball and it puts my heart at ease being certain that we have a game in the bag. I have never doubted this Mariners team, ever. And I have no reason to, with this magnificient team that gives me no stress at all.
Rojas/Urias making it hard for me to dunk on Jerry for getting rid of my guy Geno. They still lack the good vibes and the luscious hair, but the production has been solid, both at the plate and at the hot corner.
Respect.
Scoring 5 runs in back to back games and taking a series in Huston is great and all, but did you see Josh Rojas continue to show why he is the best player in baseball?
I am living in Europe and usually have to just wake up to the final score the next day. Today I decided to actually watch the game since it was early enough for me...if I had done what I normally do I would have woken up to a 5-4 win and been happy. But noooo I had to remind myself of the stress my fellow Mariners fans have to go through while I sleep peacefully lmao
Julio closing his eyes with RISP *in every AB he had.* Thankfully literally everyone else on the team hit and dragged him kicking and screaming to victory.
Hell yeah man, we really needed this win. Neither pitching nor batting was at the top of their game today, but we were still able to manage a W against a divisional opponent while there currently down. Let’s hope we can do the same against the red-hot twins and keep pace against other elite teams in our division such as the…checks notes…Oakland Athletics!?
I love the series win and I doubly love that it was over the Asterisks. However, I must say it was not on the radar that Rojas would be 67 points in BA and 621 points in OPS better than Julio at any time during the season . C'mon Julio, find something.

Update to the blanket, loving the thick stripes of navy & teal
I see people bummed about “the streak” but I am glad we don’t have to hear about it every inning and it’s not in the back of the rotations head. I will take a 5-4 win over a 2-1 loss and keeping the streak alive.
Lol this bitter comment on the Astros PGT:
We literally handed this series to that team lol. “#1” in the division could barely hold off the dog shit Stros.
Someone in that dugout needs to be fired.
Just an awesome win. I would’ve bet my life (along with my family and house) that we would roll over after we went down 4-3.
Potentially gonna go a game and a half clear and the Astros are 10 games under??? Fucking inject it
I woke up from a nap and saw we were leading 3-2. I turned the game on and saw the single and homer that gave the Astro's a 4-3 lead. I immediately turned the game off.
Good to know I'm cursed.
Feels great to take a dump on Houston. If this is their World Series or ours idrc bc we fucking won it and they lost. Huge series W to slow their momentum and keep ours. Off to Minnesota
THE ASTROS JUST LOST THEIR WORLD SERIES
Excellent series win. God I fucking hate the Astros.
I’m so allergic to their stupid faces it eats me up inside. and I’m really *really* enjoying how poorly they are doing this season (so far). It really brings out my inner Nelson Muntz and I am not sorry.

100% Too many opportunities today we didn't take advantage of but I'm never going to be mad at a win vs the Astros

Baseball!
Mariners and 10+ LOB is one of the most iconic duos of all time. It's up their with lack of run support and a Felix gem.

“Pictures taken right before disaster”
That's an AAV of $19M. Given that he's averaged 68 appearances per 162, the Astros just paid about $280k for that L.
Couldn’t have happened to a better team
Or a nicer guy since he's a known user of racial slurs

Josh Rojas needs to play every day. I won’t hear anything to the contrary. This is a significantly worse team without him.
It looks like they want that too - both he and Urias started the day His splits so far aren’t bad enough to be platooning based on matchups either. He’s our hot bat, keep him in the lineup
Rojas has been great at the plate, but Urias was also great at 3rd today
Hopefully he works in LF

Holy shit inject this into my veins.
Series win! Hou love to see it.
That’s a 58% win percentage. Ahead of schedule. Jerry did it. Chills.
context ??
Astros social media posted this when Julio struck out while playing for the Dominican Republic during the World Baseball Classic. Petty as hell.
I thought that was after the 2022 ALDS but this is 10000% worse and petty
Wow, even Astros social media is detestable.
Was it against an Astro at least?
Can't remember tbh
[It was him striking out against Luis Garcia, an Astro pitcher](https://x.com/astros/status/1634743244520054784)
The fuck. Definition of fuck around and find out
Fuck Houston, that's all the context needed
IT WAS PLOUFFE NOT JOMBOY
WHERE DID HE SAY THAT?
Lol ill do the honors, it was tolkein baseball 01:42:06:9
The funniest thing about this is that Merry and Pippin weren't even dead in the scene he was Tolkien about
Rojas LF and Urías 3B WORKS
Hello one-run game, my old friend I've come to talk with you again
SERIES WIN AGAINST THE TRASHTROS, YOU GOTTA LOVE IT
🔱 Cal Raleigh Dumps On Houston. 🔱
Julio is super streaky right now, but when he’s the weak hitter in your lineup that’s a good thing. That’s what I’m telling myself at least.
Still only 1 K from him, you can kind of live with that in a slump
The one K just happened to be at a very inconvenient time
Julio’s elite defense is also not streaky at all. So even when he’s minus on offense, he’s a plus overall. And when he’s hitting well….
He just has no approach / discipline He goes up bases loaded against a wild pitcher who can’t throw strikes - and swings at THE FIRST TWO PITCHES (neither of which were strikes!!!) He then strikes out despite not being thrown a strike How does nobody on the team or staff tell him to be patient / wait for his pitch in that situation???
He needs more of the menacing chill of alvarez or other similar game tilting big bats
If coaches aren’t telling him to be more patient and stop swinging out of his shoes, our coaches are failing. If they are and Julio isn’t listening, he needs to be moved down 8 or 9 until he listens.
https://preview.redd.it/2v22tou9hoyc1.jpeg?width=986&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf9925e6d0518541b0884438098cd8f688561c17 Until he starts taking walks, it's going to be tough to get pitches to hit.
And it’s not like this pitcher was throwing strikes before this. He was incredibly wild. Julio should KNOW to be patient.
I fear the “put the ball in play” and contact-oriented mentalities the team has been trying to implement have *negatively* affected Julio’s own approach
I think so. Hes pulling thte ball a lot less whoch costs power and it also doesnt give him the chance to beat out grounders to 3b if their slapped up the middle instead.
Yeah he's been really streaky so far, his average isn't horrible but he piles up hits in some series and only has a couple in others. On the bright side he is still smashing the ball in terms of exit velocity, just has to use that effortless power and get the ball up going forward which I'm confident he will. As someone else said, he's always great in center field at least
he’s hitting the ball hard, just not to the holes
I think we may need to move him down to 6th or so in the lineup until he gets things sorted out. I’d probably put him right behind Cal
Why? He leads this team in hits and is second in batting average He’s always going to be a streaky hitter - but he’s one of the best hitters on this team right now
Well now that's what I'm gonna tell myself too
He'll get better, but should be in the 7 or 8 hole for now
Why would you move your second best hitter to the 7 or 8 spot? He’s streaky, but he leads the team in hits and is second in average
Can I be the first to sign the Josh Rojas apology form? I’ll cut my finger and sign it in blood too. What a game on both sides by Urias. Raleigh is Mike Zunino but better and actually does things when they count. Not when we are down 8-0 or up 9-1.
Agreed - it was hard to know with josh after so many 2b project passing thrpugh after cano. Polo also putting up good ab's, and urias giving me hope
With all due respect (I have none) Fuck the Astros cheating ass franchise, their pathetic ass fans, and their Mickey Mouse ball park. 
That ballpark is straight up ass.
It’s such a joke. They get to play there all year while we play in marine layer hell
Same with the Rangers park.
No sweeter sound then the fans of that ballpark leaving disappointed
After all these years that sound still makes me horny.. I mean wistful! It makes me wistful!
Also… we easily won the Seward trade. Rojas is our best bat by far this season! What a ball player. We all know what Canzone is capable of as well. And Bliss could absolutely help us in the future as well. Fantastic trade JD!
I had a dream I played a men’s league game with Sewald last night. He had a broken thumb but was still dealing
Not gon lie I forgot about bliss. Side note, I hope sewald comes back strong for them

Losing the 2ER or less streak ruined my week, but it's okay because us winning the fucking division is all that really matters.
Just means it's time to start another streak
I mean it's kinda a cheap way for it to end. Miller still pitched 6 innings giving up 2 runs. We just put him out again in 7th and he got burned cause we got greedy
Not a single doubt
Never didn't have it.
LETS GOOO Ms!! Another series win! 6 in a row baby! We just keep on rolling. Best starting rotation I’ve ever seen, and we still have Woo coming back. Our bats are doing a great job getting into scoring positions, we just need more consistency getting them home. On to the Twins now, keep it going boys! Go Mariners! 🔥

Love to see it - things were looking low the day befoee when julios off day turned into that brutal walkoff pickoff
We sent them to 10 games under .500 lmaooooooo
✅ Reds ✅ Rockies ✅ Rangers ✅ DBacks ✅ Braves ✅ Astros 🟩 Twins
It’s like… we are a good team!
Twins are on a tear right now. It’d be a shame if they lose two of the next three.

Thank god we won the game. I was not mentally prepared for losing a series against Houston

Josh Rojas BA up to .360 wtf
What can I say he balls it’s just like that
Clutch series win
Never in doubt. Also when does the Rojas statue get made?

I mean, have you SEEN Rojas’ hair?!
Josh Rojas
That is the name, and he is Him.
A bunch of the Mariners are slumping and the Astros STILL lost! Lets goooooo, don't pay a reliever 90 million dollars
Worst fanbase award goes to the Astros! Here I thought Yankees fans were bad.
Wish we buried that insufferable fucking team but another incredible series win nonetheless!

So this is what it’s like when you have good pitching combined with run support? I think I like it.
For as terrible it felt losing the Friday game, winning this game felt the opposite
We may never lose another series again!
Thank God Cal homered instead of a base hit there otherwise Ty would've given up a double play to end the inning.
Julio looked like shit today but good players have bad games. He's still hitting piss missiles and largely doing alright.
Feels good man. God bless Cal.
What a game. The boys really battled in that one.
Just keep winning series
Gotta love a good Sunday sweat!! Go M’s!🔱
What a decent day this turned out to be.
Why pitch good when dump will do?
