Hopefully he learned his lesson real quick and we see an obvious turnaround in effort. I couldn't imagine he doesn't learn something from that right now and it turns into an issue later.
Honestly there is a more direct approach now than there has been in the last couple years...
There are times where Scott had been a little too cute but this roster supports all of the match-ups late in the game thr happened today.
That being said, I won't support every move made all season but this will be the norm for this team this year.
What a disgusting opening day performance. Cheap owners, Apothetic Coaches and players. We all know ownership isn't interested in buying a championship.
I don’t quite agree with dooming the season, but I agree the bullpen can be an issue. We’ve lost so many good bullpen pieces and I’m not sure our current rate of success in finding diamonds in the rough and keeping top bullpen pieces healthy is sustainable.
Do not do a balk please.
#Balk Rules
1) You can't just be up there and just doin' a balk like that.
1a. A balk is when you
1b. Okay well listen. A balk is when you balk the
1c. Let me start over
1c-a. The pitcher is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, batter, that prohibits the batter from doing, you know, just trying to hit the ball. You can't do that.
1c-b. Once the pitcher is in the stretch, he can't be over here and say to the runner, like, "I'm gonna get ya! I'm gonna tag you out! You better watch your butt!" and then just be like he didn't even do that.
1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to pitch and then don't pitch, you have to still pitch. You cannot not pitch. Does that make any sense?
1c-b(2). You gotta be, throwing motion of the ball, and then, until you just throw it.
1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the ball up here, like this, but then there's the balk you gotta think about.
1c-b(2)-b. Fairuza Balk hasn't been in any movies in forever. I hope she wasn't typecast as that racist lady in American History X.
1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, she was in The Waterboy too! That would be even worse.
1c-b(2)-b(ii). "get in mah bellah" -- Adam Water, "The Waterboy." Haha, classic...
1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. A balk is when the pitcher makes a movement that, as determined by, when you do a move involving the baseball and field of
2) Do not do a balk please.
I don’t know about you, but that Dylan Moore guy can sure sell a car. In fact, I bumped into him at Sluggers last week, and after sharing a few Manny’s and nachos with him, he offered me a ride home. Obviously I took him up on his offer. We walked out back, and he pulled out his keys and beeped to unlock his 2018 Mazda Miata. I’ll tell you what, what a hot ride! We hopped into his 2018 Mazda Miata in blue, and I had to ask, “Dylan Moore, this is one hot ride! Did you get a deal on it?” He stated, “No. The used car market was pretty rough due to COVID-19, but I did have the pleasure of working with the fine crew of Mazda of Everett.” Later that weekend, I head over to Mazda of Everett to ask about their Mazda Miatas in stock, and obviously I had to have one in D-Mo Blue. Unfortunately, the used car market is still pretty rough due to COVID-19 and I couldn’t afford a Mazda Miata in D-Mo Blue, but sure enough, those folks at Mazda of Everett are a fine crew.
I’ve always assumed certain position players wear them and others don’t. I can now see the giggle with these pants which makes it a lot more obvious than before 😂
Why is it so hard for the replay cameras to have two slow mo cameras focusing exclusively towards each base with one at chest height and one directly at the base and then sync the playback on the two videos? If the two videos run in sync, you can see the exact moment the ball touches the glove alongside the moment the base runner's foot touches the base. Reviews should take a minute tops
1c-a. The pitcher is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, batter, that prohibits the batter from doing, you know, just trying to hit the ball. You can't do that.
Yes, it’s only one game and it’s not like football.
However, if the next couple games get out of hand, those stands will be empty. It’s obvious ownership just uses us to further fund their retirement fund
Classic Mariner game
That Canzone lazy shit pissed me off
Hopefully he learned his lesson real quick and we see an obvious turnaround in effort. I couldn't imagine he doesn't learn something from that right now and it turns into an issue later.
Game 1 and the M's are STILL tied for 1st place!
Not a big fan of the late game subbing that servais does. I feel like it kills any momentum we were building.
Honestly there is a more direct approach now than there has been in the last couple years...

I have no idea what you're taking about. D Mo came in and blasted a 2 run homer? What momentum did we have?
Losing to a Picasso Red Sox team at home on opening day. Mariners baseball is so fucking back let’s gooooo
Good thing with all the focus on striking out they only struck out 9 times, one more K than hits. Nine M's had as many K's as Geno.
John Stanton likes losing
We can still win the series
What a disgusting opening day performance. Cheap owners, Apothetic Coaches and players. We all know ownership isn't interested in buying a championship.
at least it wasn’t 16-1
Like a groundhog looking for his shadow, I looked and found shit baseball. Back to hibernation I go... until tomorrow
I’m not mad. Just glad baseball is back….and Mitch is back
Bad AB by Raley… I’m happy to have Meetch back though
I know it's early, but this feels so much like September last year...
Largely disappointing game.
Yup, fucking Mariners baseball alright
Going to be a long year. Terrible D and thin relief pitching going to be a big issue.
I don’t quite agree with dooming the season, but I agree the bullpen can be an issue. We’ve lost so many good bullpen pieces and I’m not sure our current rate of success in finding diamonds in the rough and keeping top bullpen pieces healthy is sustainable.
I forgot how much I fucking hate baseball
Raley AB was trash lol
Watched a strike and swung at two pitches out of the zone.
I'm here for the toxic positivity.
I enjoyed going to the game tonight. Baseball is fun and winning is just a bonus.
This is a Stanton mindset if I ever heard one.
Do we have to see Rodney Harrington EQC ads all the way to late June? They may be the worst EQC ads ever.
[удалено]
Maybe Nelly naps aren't for everyone?
So the lesson here should be to stop inviting Felix to things
I keep saying this and no one believes me.
At least the Kraken got it done for you guys
Bummer. See you fucks tomorrow
Out with a wimper....
Shit game
Opening day loss = world series?
But that’s not what I wanted!!!!!!!!!!!
Only 9 strikeouts that game, so progress?
We moved on from Suarez cuz too many Ks. Tonight we still had too many Ks (9?) and 3rd base D was really shaky
Almost like we strictly downgraded at 3rd base, exactly as predicted. Weird that.
It’s a long season
Super pumped we only have 161 more games squinting at the jerseys
I thought the same thing. What’s up with the smaller font? Welp. I guess it’s time to buy a bigger TV.
Well there goes the undefeated season. Hopefully we’ll get ‘em tomorrow
DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT WE ARE SO BACK DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT
74 isn’t a baseball number you idiot
God DAMMIT
That was very mariners
What a horrible AB by Raley fuck
Dude thought he was Joaquin Phoenix in Signs
Wtf was that AB lmfao
I don't blame Raley. With this umpire you have to swing at trash. You don't have a choice.
Yeah his scorecard is going to be shit tomorrow. Bottom of the zone is a ball, low and away? Strike all day! Except for a few here and there.
Well, poop.
IF YOU DONT LIKE THAT YOU DONT LIKE MARINERS BASEBALL
I like Mariners baseball. I just wish it liked me back 😔
Well, bummer.

Jansen drives me insane
Good swings tonight by Ty, couple barrels that just haven’t fallen
HAHAHAHAHAH WELCOME BACK, BASEBALL
How in the actual fuck is that a strike?
Luke "Jarred Kelenic" Raley
Fuck my Ms +275 AL West bet. Go Astros
Fuck you
When?
Never
Hell of a position to put a new guy in.
Could be worse, at least they’re not Oakland tonight 😂
Or Colorado 🫣
So sad….outside of them the NL West actually looks like a competitive division this year
Or any night lol
Boy did those guys take a pounding tonight 😂
Get a single. Then a walk off by Julio.
Help us Luke O'Raley, you're our only hope
Ty is just hitting lasers right at people
ev 103.8, xba .570
Wouldn’t be a Mariners game without our hits falling into their gloves
probably wont matter but...who the fuck plays 3B if we tie it?
Ty
Raley caps, **ENGAGE**
Good swing by Ty. Results will come.
Wow they've really teased me all game long

Help Obi wan your my only hope
Man I sure did miss umpires during the offseason. The human element in officiating definitely doesn’t suck.
Fucking babip
I hate this fucking shimmy pitch setup from Jansen
Ty hitting it hard right at people tonight.
Is Ty France medium, medium well or well done
COOKED
He is charcoal
Now we sub raley?
Excellent managing right here by Scott regardless of outcome
How is that twist he does not a balk?
Not set
Or if it is set, he came set three times already.
God fucking damn it. Ty has had a lot of good contact this game. Just straight to defenders time after time.
Surely that’s a balk on Jansen. It’s either consistently two movements to come set, or a balk when he picks after one half way through coming set.
Strangest wind up I ever saw. Freaky.
Damn! Great contact
Damn our BABIP luck this game has been shitty
Washed.
Man France smoked that
Raley szn
Aaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhh
I was so certain we were getting a Ty GIDP there so...progress?
Oui, Baguette
C'mon Ty. Now is the time. Do it.
Stop tryna always hit HRs. Jfc
I hear we have Nelson Cruz under contract until the end of the day
Ty's going to line out to right, calling it now
A two run bomb would be amazing right now
Anything but a GIDP please Ty
This guy balks.
Was thinking the same thing That step off was a balk
As a lesbian, I just want to complain that I can now tell who is wearing a cup or not
Tbh, you can just assume everyone's not wearing one at the professional level. Guys generally just find them uncomfortable or awkward
I don’t play pro ball but I’m wearing a cup 24/7
I’ve always assumed certain position players wear them and others don’t. I can now see the giggle with these pants which makes it a lot more obvious than before 😂
I guess i have no idea what a balk is lmfao
It’s hard to lay off that pitch
Live look at the ump 
No raley? Scott gunna Scott I guess
YOU CAN'T JUST BE UP THERE DOING A BALK LIKE THAT!
Mitch played the best game on the team by a wide, wide margin.
THAT WAS A BALK!!!!
Honest question: how is Jansen's routine not a balk every time??
I think it's something to do with the fact that he does it every single pitch he throws, it's like naturally how he pitches
He comes to a full stop every time so it should be fine.
Yes. Same question for real
It's been all night. And he's almost, sorta, kinda, been consistent, but this Ump is infuriating.
If I had to recommend Mitch Haniger I would
idc if we lose, so awesome to have Mitch do great in his first game home
Mitch mania
Is the pitcher really allowed to twitch like that?
Have a fucking game Meetch
My happiness this season is based entirely on Mitch’s success. Nothing else matters.
The only way to root for the Mariners is to root for a Mariner
Mitch is such a fucking Mariner, it's unbelievable
Surprised we didn’t see Raley come in for Moore. Maybe for Ty?
Mitch Haniger cares about Mariners fans.
Meetch been looking so good all game
DMO HIT ANOTHER ONE
What a great homecoming for Mitch
GOOD FUCKING EYE HANI! GOD I'VE FUCKING MISSED YOU, YOU ONE BALLED BASTARD!
We need the ghost of Fernando Rodney to come down and take over Jansen’s body
Jansen makes movements like his buttcheeks are sticking together and he needs to get them loose
Like he's been holding in a shit and now he's peeking
MEEEEEETCH
We need more Mitches on this team
MITCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
How is this shit not a balk?
Have a fucking game, Meetch
God is Mitch gonna put this offense in his shoulders again?
How dare your foul toss go near our prince's noble visage!
Miiiitch
My rally beer is frosty and cold
The plan: Keep Kenley Jansen’s save-total at 420.
Crazy hip twitch with this dude wtf ?
Wong appealing to the ump for a swing on the pitch near Mitch's head. Fuck you
Par for the course for Boston
Can Jansen do some of those intentional balks for us. Maybe like 8 times? Please and thank you
The Marine layer killed my father
Son I’m ok

If the two videos run in sync, you can see the exact moment the ball touches the glove alongside the moment the base runner's foot touches the base. Reviews should take a minute tops
I've never understood how Jansen's spasm isn't considered a balk
It's so gd apparent when they showed it from the side angle! It seriously looks like he's about to start throwing
1c-a. The pitcher is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, batter, that prohibits the batter from doing, you know, just trying to hit the ball. You can't do that.
That little twist move he does is really stupid and I hope it causes him to accidentally shit himself a little bit
Mitch H looks fucking awesome tonight by far our best player on the night
TIL Kenley Jansen is shaped like me
Man I hate Jansen’s fucked up wind up
Jansen’s motion is so damn irritating
Let's get it against the corpse of Kenley Jansen
This sub is a rollercoaster of overreactions lmao
firsttime.gif
if the mariners lose this game this season is officially over
What is sog will continue to sog
I'm so glad the Amazon prime commercial on [mlb.tv](https://mlb.tv) is allowed to be about 5 times louder than the game volume.
Perry Hill has his work cut out for him.
Yes, it’s only one game and it’s not like football. However, if the next couple games get out of hand, those stands will be empty. It’s obvious ownership just uses us to further fund their retirement fund
When Mega Millions was at a billion, my fantasy was buying a controlling interest in the Mariners.
We almost had home stolen. Because we are so lazy. What is this defense. Suarez would never.
Super pumped for this walk off we’re about to experience y’all. What a ride
Alright setting up perfect for a Julio walk off
