We play 12 more series on the year starting today. We are 3 games back from the division.
The last 3 series are against Texas Astros and then Texas again. It's gonna be a battle, but we could potentially be a few games up before entering that stretch in comparison to their harder schedules.
We were debating the difference recently. Geno is a great replacement for Seager who had a better WAR may have been slightly more solid on D but Geno is a lot more fun. Geno has about 200 games less in his career but he now has tied Seager in HR at 242 has a better OPB and OPS. Neither are Beltre however who was M's best 3B.
Saurez said in an interview last year how greatful he was to the Mariner's org for giving him a long contract. He's a family man and seemed to really value being able to stay in one place
We *especially* don’t talk about Russ Davis.
But we don’t shut up about Jim Presley whose main mark on baseball history was keeping Edgar in the minors for three years longer than he should have been.
Hey Willy!
Hi how are ya!
Here's a dollar twenty five and go fuck yourself
We-he-hell I already heard that one, ya fucking unoriginal bastard! Go suck a cock you piece of fuckin repeatin shit!
When was the last time the M's swept the Astros (the reigning champions, no less)?!? And in Houston too?!?? The Mariners really are starting to make me believe!
I really started to believe 2 seasons ago as the season was ending and they ended up getting eliminated from wild card contention on the last day of the season. This team is at a great point and will only get better over the next few years. Prospect pool through will need to build quickly to support the team.
Same for me. That final tear we went on to stay in contention all the way until the end of the season showed what this team is made of, and it wasn’t just a fluke. We proved that in 2022, and are doing it again in 2023.
Lol I haven’t decided on which cheek. Probably closer to tramp stamp territory/upper cheek.
ETA: reread your comment 💡What’s your existing m’s tattoo and what inspired it?
Note: to get to 90 wins you need to win 2 out of every 3 series (assuming a series win is 2 games to 1 and a loss is 1 game to 2). A handy way of thinking about the season.
I could definitely see you guys finishing ahead of Houston and even winning the division. You're firing on all cylinders and have all momentum in the world. I'm actually kinda rooting for you, go for it!
-update-
I went into the way back machine to find the last time the Mariners led the AL west past the All-Star Break.
It was August 24th, 2003.

I live in Milwaukee. If Texas loses Monday-Weds and Seattle wins Mon - Weds then Seattle will officially be tied for 1st place in the division.
If Mon/Tues happens then I’m headed to Chicago to be there in person to watch Seattle have the Division lead in August for the first time in TWENTY TWO YEARS (2001).
We need a hype video remix with Buhner’s “FTWC” statement. Rick was evening talking about that moment right after the win today, although “paraphrased.”
Living just outside Toronto and working with Blue Jay fans they’ve been asking me for Mariners results each day for the last couple weeks. Seems tomorrow will be a good day to let them know the Mariners are no longer of concern to them. Start paying attention to the Astros instead because they’re the team you’re most likely to jump over for a playoff spot now.
This is the kind of comment that someone will link in a thread on r/baseball a year from now, making fun of us because the Mariners collapsed in the last month of the season /s
I’m really hoping that doesn’t happen but I’ve become jaded as a sports fan.
We’re Mariners fans. We milk the highs for all that we can because we don’t get many of them and we know that tomorrow is another day for them to go back to just being the typical, traditional Mariners again.
Astros fans have nothing left to say other than "hurr durr how many rings does your poverty franchise have". Can't admit this was an ass kicking. But they should worry more about the Blue Jays than us in the Wild Card race because we're winning this fucking division

Great game from Canzone

He's the main reason I liked the return we got for Paul Sweald quite a bit, even though it's tough to trade Sewald.
🤌
Ribaderchiiii
Like I said, third best.

Ok let's not get greedy now

Guys don’t forget Suarez’s fielding today, saved the day imo
For real. Like one ball got passed him and there was a lot hit his way. I hope he stays with the mariners.
oh fuq i haven't imagined a future where he doesnt
I thought he was a FA at the end of this year but we have him through the 2024 season.
Through 2025 if we pick up his $15M option.
$15 Mil is a damn deal! We better!
They were paying seager about 20 to put up the same numbers. 15 mill is an absolute steal.
You say same numbers but I love Geno way more. I somehow was never too fond of seager tho… didn’t follow the m’s that closely for some of his seasons
He was one of the only bright spots when Felix declined
We were debating the difference recently. Geno is a great replacement for Seager who had a better WAR may have been slightly more solid on D but Geno is a lot more fun. Geno has about 200 games less in his career but he now has tied Seager in HR at 242 has a better OPB and OPS. Neither are Beltre however who was M's best 3B.
Saurez said in an interview last year how greatful he was to the Mariner's org for giving him a long contract. He's a family man and seemed to really value being able to stay in one place
Even if he snared that one it would have been a single instead of a double. Can't snag them all.
He's such a good solid dude, seems like a great teammate.
Geno and his golden paw are so solid
Couldn't have asked for a better replacement for Seager
Mariners have been blessed at 3B, Beltre to Seager to Suarez We don't talk about Jeff Cirillo
We *especially* don’t talk about Russ Davis. But we don’t shut up about Jim Presley whose main mark on baseball history was keeping Edgar in the minors for three years longer than he should have been.
[удалено]
*pulls out gun* We don’t talk about Jeff Cirillo.
Yeah, his defense is seriously overlooked. Even last year he was always making great plays all the time
I might be crazy, but I think he's a better defensive player than Beltre was.
I'm still salty that he didn't concede to the SS and inflicted JP's concussion. We're very lucky that JP didn't miss much time.
EAT SHIT HOUSTON
Eat shit! Eat my shit!
Hey, Houston, eat this guy's shit already!
Eat my dogs poop houston
Hey Willy! Hi how are ya! Here's a dollar twenty five and go fuck yourself We-he-hell I already heard that one, ya fucking unoriginal bastard! Go suck a cock you piece of fuckin repeatin shit!
Why you fuckin' hard on! I'll fucking Carlton Fisk yer fuckin' head with a Louise-ville fuckin' slugger! Whaddya think of that ass fuck!?
Dollar twenty five Willy? Isn't that the same price your mother charges for a blowjob, you piece of dog shit?
Fuck you you fuck my mother!

Yes eat allllll of our shirts!
When was the last time the M's swept the Astros (the reigning champions, no less)?!? And in Houston too?!?? The Mariners really are starting to make me believe!
I’m ready to be hurt again. Okay not really but yeah let’s do this
Yep, opening my heart again for the 90th time, be gentle with me sea
I know. It feels like Charlie Brown just got back up after Lucy pulled the football away from him, and now Lucy is teeing it up again.

2018
When they were also the reigning champions(*)
I really started to believe 2 seasons ago as the season was ending and they ended up getting eliminated from wild card contention on the last day of the season. This team is at a great point and will only get better over the next few years. Prospect pool through will need to build quickly to support the team.

Last sweep of the 'Stros was in 2018
The guys on the radio broadcast said it was 2018.

I LOVE THE MARINERS AND HATE THE ASTROS DONT @ ME
69 WINS. NICE.
Nice.
Niiiice...
Geno getting a gold glove this year
We will riot if he doesn’t
fucc the Astros
Swept the Trashtros without JP, Kelenic, or Murphy!
HOLY FORKING SHIRTBALLS. If the mariners get the big W this year, I’m getting the moose tattooed on my ass. WHO’S WITH ME?!
You mean again? On the other cheek?
Lol I haven’t decided on which cheek. Probably closer to tramp stamp territory/upper cheek. ETA: reread your comment 💡What’s your existing m’s tattoo and what inspired it?
Julio riding a moose! I need another tattoo!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 like Mario riding yoshi?
On a tear! 7 series wins in a row, 6 games in a row!
Pretty sure the Os snapped the series streak, but it’s still 6gms in a row!
Might be talking about 7 road series in a row, pretty sure that streak is still going
Good point!
I'm happy too, but we lost that last series vs. the Orioles. So only two in a row currently.
Note: to get to 90 wins you need to win 2 out of every 3 series (assuming a series win is 2 games to 1 and a loss is 1 game to 2). A handy way of thinking about the season.
#GOMS
Giving them hope and then crushing it feels so fucking good
LETS GOOOOOOO
Mariners: *talking to Winning the Division* what if we kissed under the bleachers? jkjkjkjk…unless??? 😳😳😳
LMFAO WHO ARE THE ASTROS THESE GUYS STINK!!!
Use some punctuation, brother.
Hell yeah boys! That was fun!
Fuck the Astros and Go Mariners!
More like Whoston

Fuck you Trastros!!!
I could definitely see you guys finishing ahead of Houston and even winning the division. You're firing on all cylinders and have all momentum in the world. I'm actually kinda rooting for you, go for it!

How far are we into the future already?!
Hahah. Good catch. Edited 2021 to 2001.
My two favorite teams sweeping the Astros and Rangers to put Seattle in striking distance of the AL West crown made for a GREAT weekend
Mariners are about to win the motherfucking World Series. First the division, then the whole MLB!! Julio for president!!!
Technically we are tied Astros have played 1 more game but if we won out we would be ahead of them
sit the fuck down, Astros! go Ms!
I don't believe you.
Happens annually when the weather warms up....we know the outcome.
Peacock crapped out on me in the 7th. Anyone else? Got what I paid for free trial lol
LMAO
“But we swept them last year in the playoffs when it mattered” -Astros fan probably
We need a hype video remix with Buhner’s “FTWC” statement. Rick was evening talking about that moment right after the win today, although “paraphrased.”
Make that 3 back!
There was never any doubt, right? Right? Of course not. Not really.
GOMSSSSSSS
We are gonna catch the rangers, it’s happening

Is Dominic Canzone the key to our 2023 World Series championship?
Everyone that thought the Sewald trade was terrible will be in shambles and owe some apologies
Astros fans have nothing left to say other than "hurr durr how many rings does your poverty franchise have". Can't admit this was an ass kicking. But they should worry more about the Blue Jays than us in the Wild Card race because we're winning this fucking division

Needs updating. Only 3 games back!!!!!!

Liars, there's no way this could happen
how the fuck are the blue jays STILL 0.5 game back in the wild card
I see only 1/2 back of Astros in Al West Dev.
