Things went better than expected. Anytime you lose a game where the opposition only gets one hit, it's enough to say fuck it. I'm going to enjoy this season. Until we lose avain.
Didn't even get our Felix win this year. Otherwise, Mariners appear to be in true Mariners form. West: Oakland 4-4 Texas 4-4 Houston 3-4 Los Angeles 3-4 Mariners! 2-5
SSS and all but I didnt really like the Carson Smith trade when it happened and watching this bullpen has not made me feel any better about it. Wade Miley is such an average pitcher I dont get why we had to trade away a talented arm for him. Plus Cisek WOOF
Looking at Ketel Marte's numbers (.160/.241/.160) made me wonder if the M's made a mistake trading Brad Miller. Brad doesn't know that he left the Mariners: .059/.158/.118
Im still all in at this point. One of these next 30 years I'll be right and they'll actually make the playoffs. It probably wont happen until after Cano's contract is up though. But i'm riding this thing out. SoDo MoJo baby!!!
Mike Zunino is the next Jesus Montero - he has no hit a dinger in 5 straight games after hitting 2 today.
Michael Barr @michaelcbarr 1m1 minute ago Mariners April '16: .219/.290/.382, 21.9% K rate; 7.8% BB rate Mariners April '15: .239/.293/.387, 19.0% K rate; 7.0% BB rate New Mariners! same as old Mariners :(
Seattle Mariners @Mariners 4m4 minutes ago Felix Hernandez has been scratched from tonight's start due to illness. Hisashi Iwakuma will start in his place.
Yes, it's the Astros, but Taijuan Walker is straight fucking people up right now. Struck out the last 6 guys, last one at 97mph. Likely done for the night at 7ip, 1ER, 11K, 1BB. lawd
First place. Celebrate gentlemen. We have arrived. Also, can someone explain to me why Paxton is not in the rotation? Was her still hurt?
He didn't perform in Spring Training so they sent him to Tacoma. He's the first guy up if one of the starters gets injured/starts to really suck.
It is April 27th, but I really like this team. Even more impressive, there is not a single Jose Vidro, Willie Fucking Baseball, or Justin Smoak that I completely loathe on the entire team.
Not yet. He's coming off a year where he hit .277/.360/.460 with 20 dingers. It certainly helps that the team is picking up his slack.
I'm just going to ride this wave for a while, guys: Lookout Landing @LookoutLanding 7m7 minutes ago Since a five game losing streak the Mariners have gone 9-3, and out scored their opponents 61-33.
FUCK YES eHo duc15 Mike Salk, 710 ESPN @TheMikeSalk 8m8 minutes ago Major breaking news. Sources say major shakeup at Mariners ownership with Howard Lincoln retiring. Not confirmed by team.
Lookout Landing @LookoutLanding 6h6 hours ago With last night's win the Mariners have clinched just their second April above .500 since 2003.
Lookout Landing @LookoutLanding 9h9 hours ago The Mariners are in first place, have won 13 of their last 18, and have the best run differential in the American League.
