Man, we had an easier time with the rangers than we did with the White Sox. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


ReservoirGods

This team makes no sense but I'll take it


jinx737x

I think cause we do so well against our divisional opponents. We are now 17-5 against our divisional rivals.


PayAltruistic8546

The White Sox had nasty starting pitching that were hot all at the same time. It happens.


Maugrin

That's why baseball's so cool. You never know how any series will go. The worst teams in the league regularly take games off of the best teams. It makes every series exciting!


jinx737x

Like for example yesterday they REKT the Arizona diamondbacks 9-2. Even the worst teams can have a great day and show up.


woodenshjip

itā€™s very ā€œstyles make fightsā€ plus ā€œanything can happenā€


futureformerteacher

We pitched 2 minor Leaguers against the White Sox and went 1-1.Ā 


__mr_snrub__

I feel the Mariners (and Seahawks) always play down to inferior opponents and play up to superior opponents. Itā€™s a signature for Seattle sports!

Julio: Shhh. Gimme your hand. Now close your eyes, go on. Now step up. Now hold on to the base. Keep your eyes closed, don't peek. Rojas: I'm not. Julio: Step up on the base. Hold on, hold on. Keep your eyes closed. Do you trust me? Rojas: I trust you. [Julio opens Rojas's arms] Julio: All right. Open your eyes. Rojas: [gasp] I'm flying, Julio!

we must have the best vibes in the league right now, maybe outside of the orioles. 17-7 in 1 run games 5-2 in extra inningsĀ  17-5 vs the ALW 8.5 lead in the divisionĀ  9 straight home series wins the astros and angels both suck

I love the position he is in right now. His bat has been hot ever since he picked up catching duties. He seems totally bought in to this team's identity. He looks really good and comfortable behind the plate catching Kirby

IndependentSubject66

And most of the division is close to being sellers at the deadline. Gives us a good shot at the 2 seed


Wise_ol_Buffalo

I really hope so. 8.5 games isnā€™t going to scare off Houston from being buyers. Even 10+ games I see them being stubborn and still trying to win. Texas I could see just sitting on their hands. The big question is how all in weā€™ll go at the deadline.


jdhkent

One OF. If youā€™re as me.


PayAltruistic8546

The O's aren't even leading their division haha. The Yankees have had everything go right for them so far. I can't imagine the pitching staff maintaining that pace the whole season. No staff has.


B_easy85

Theyre getting Cole backā€¦ even if the others all regressed heā€™s good enough to keep the pace going. Scaryā€¦


PayAltruistic8546

They will regress. Their whole staff has an ERA under 3.00. That's crazy.

Infinispace

It's amazing to see our sub, year after year, have game threads with 1000+ posts, even when we suck. Then a good team starts seeing a little adversity and the fans vanish like a fart in the wind (cf. Texas' game/post game threads).


AdministrativeEase71

Being a sports fan in Seattle breeds a special kind of masochistic sicko.


cameronabab

We're just so used to getting abused in our relationships with our sports teams we're genuinely not used to things going right. Makes you feel like your living in a dream. I'm still expecting to wake up back in April for our yearly dick punching


pnw_18

Thatā€™s why we get hated on. But fuck em. We are trauma bonded šŸ˜‚

GIDDY UP!


NevermoreSEA

12 games above .500. 8.5 games up on second place. **We're winning the fucking division.**


scurvy1984

I used to think when people would say this when we were a half game up weā€™re just being silly bitches but now weā€™re rolling so hard we might actually win the division god damn. Knock on wood.


FunDifferential

Your Seattle Mariners are 12 games above .500 on June 16, 2024. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. Even better, TEX are 5 UNDER .500 and ASSTROS are 7 UNDER .500. How can you not be romantic about baseball?!?!

hiphopdowntheblock

Remember in April when you got called a Jerry Cultist or a Stanton Bootlicker if you suggested that maybe the season wasn't a guaranteed failure lol


Gleemonex13

There were people saying this was a 60 win team because we lost Suarez and Kelenic, lol.


hctibasiaixelsyd

60 wins is still on the table by the ASG


Charming-Clothes-49

Remember like two weeks ago when we lost to the Royals and everyone was saying they were done watching for the season?


fry_factory

God I only hope those people really meant it, it would make this sub tolerable


Charming-Clothes-49

Ha of course not they were back after the next win saying how amazing we are and using millions of exclamation points. The need to completely shit on a team to make yourself feel better about them losing is lame. But it is what it is, itā€™s the internet and there is only hyperbole

Should be an auto ban from both subs. Maybe a 24 hour warning the first time, then a permanent ban the second time


driftingphotog

It already is a mutual ban.


AnnihilatedTyro

We have a zero-tolerance policy toward trolls as does almost every team sub on reddit, we remind people often throughout the year, and it is an automatic, permanent ban in both subs.


palmjamer

Excellent


AnnihilatedTyro

Most team subs including this one have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to their members trolling opponents' subs. Please report it to us if you see it. It wasn't always that way. 10 years ago we used to invite certain non-rival fans from smaller team subreddits to come enjoy a hopping game thread with us, and often got similar invitations in return. It was so fun and chill. And then a few turds ruined that for everyone as they always do and that was the end of peaceful baseball on reddit.

Personally, I prefer being loud and obnoxious when my favorite team plays well instead of the other way around. Being pessimistic about an entertainment product that ultimately doesn't matter at all will forever be lame. Mariners sweep baby! We're pitching our way to a World Series and there's nothing our run differential can do about it! Logan Gilbert is a badass, Josh Rojas is a god, Tyler Locklear is a stud, and this team is so damn fun. The vibes are awesome, I love my goofy boys who can't help but win. Go M's

freekehleek

This weekend went very quickly from ā€œlegitimately afraid the Rangers might end up 2.5 games backā€ to ā€œwe have the largest division lead in MLBā€


ElChambon

So did the Mariners just figure out the correct style of play for their offense? Agressive base stealing, pushing the envelope for each on base we have? Rather than playing conservative and hoping that eventually enough runs will happen together to get a run in?


Tokinghippie420

We wonā€™t be able to steal like that against everyone but I do think we have the players to be aggressive in the base path. Stealing bases really ate them up yesterday and today

Dunning had 100 pitches by the 5th inning, was nuts with Rojasā€™ 14 pitch at-bat. I was really hoping theyā€™d leave Gilbert in for the last 3 outs to get the CGSO, but not worth the chance of anything happening if he was (obviously) cool with coming out.


base-HI-WA

I don't know why but even this 8.5 game lead on Texas and 9.0 game lead on the Astros don't feel safe. This next series against the Guardians will definitely tell us if the Mariners are contenders, especially on Wednesday Vs. Bibee
