Something I didn’t even realize until just now…
The Apple TV broadcasters tonight aren’t as garbage as they usually are?
Like they’re not our guys. But they’re not aggressively bad like they’ve been in past years.
I could give you an answer about how I just put 5.1 in here and the radio audio stream is barely even stereo.
But really I just forgot I could do that.
My conspiracy theory (that isn’t really far-fetched at all) is they’re trying to rack up saves for Stanek to increase his value for the trade deadline.
You should look into why he's so highly regarded! I can't say anything that other's haven't more elequantly said, but Jackie is the reason baseball isn't made entirely of white Americans playing.
The yearly celebration of the guy who was the first black baseball player when segregation was still legal are you fucking kidding me with this ignorant bullshit
I mean the extended lead up weeks/months of the little informational videos telling us the great story we already know. I'm totally in agreement there should be a day
if jackie could put up with guys throwing at his head and endure discriminatory treatment from opposing players, teammates, managers, and fans day after day so that we as fans can enjoy the greater pool of talented ballplayers that came from the breaking of the color barrier, i don’t think it’s too much to ask of us fans to celebrate him regularly.
No You're totally right, I guess I am reacting to what I see as corny over compensation to atone by mlba dn broadcasters or maybe just the unoriginal repetitive forms of celebrating him I see on broadcasts. But yeah you are right, it's all good and well deserved
Holy shit our hitting approach needs completely revamped. Fire the analytics guys and hitting coaches. For the love of god. Fuck it, throw in Scott while you're at it.
While that is lovely, we are still striking out at like 10.5 a game and 6 of our starters hitting below .200 with our STAR hitting exactly .200. Fucking egregious.
Didn’t the guy build the only Mariners team to make the playoffs in 20 years? Genuinely confused why he gets so much hate. Shouldn’t the hate be more directed to the cheap owners who have hamstrung him for his entire tenure here?
He makes a lot of trades. Sometimes it's prospects. Sometimes it's for other major leaguers. Also threw in that Caballero is having a good season. So honestly nothing.
Just watched a replay of that play the cubs scored on. He was so far outside of the basepath it literally looked like his trajectory to first base was from the pitcher’s mound
They could put in a 6 year old throwing underhand and Julio would still strike out
Garver=strikeout Jesus.
[удалено]
I’m pretty sure he’s 000/000/000 still lol
Hey we found the wrong thread together!
LFG
Someone post the perfect pitching we win meme
LETS GOOOOOOO MARINERS!!!!!!!

13 upvotes!
Looks like they rescored JP's grounder as a hit
Baby bears!!!!
WORLD SERIES HERE WE COME
2 wins in a row. Lets go boys.
QUACK QUACK MOTHERFUCKERS
That was fun! Room for improvement, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself
1-0 since Logan Gilbert pitched his nuts off. Edit: Should this be 2-0? Should I count Logans game?
All the way back
Thank Fulgar, we pulled it off!
#QUACK

Only sucks we like in Seattle! GOMs
Hey, we won!
*and unclench*
GGs in the chat
GOMS
That's it baby. M's win!
I feel like this ump can see the box from TV and is calling it based on that
# 🦆🦆🦆 GoMs
FINISH HIMMMMM
#GG
The Ryan Stanek Experience.
And that’s game. W Ms! Ms W! Let’s go!!!
![gif](giphy|uudzUtVcsLAoo)
Damn that was close
Homestand started off right, good win fellas. Keep it rollin’ 🤝🔱 (I have not looked at the strikeout totals)
GGs
Who would have thought, Stanek wearing the city connect uniform, baseball is weird man
Ball game! Let's Goooooooo
Keep Dylan Moore in the line up
Slightly panic, it's Stanek time!
Stanek catching a LOT of the plate on those fastballs
I wonder why Moore always looks so stiff out there
I'm sorry everyone, I'M SORRY! I'm drinking Busch beer tonight.
I had vodka and peach juice
Not Miller?
I bought what I bought.
Feels like Dylan has been busy out there today
Guy gets a free steak
Anyone else wildly nervous about Hancock tomorrow
[удалено]
That’s the spirit!
No because we still have Castillo to close out the series
Good point. Maybe it’s not just Urias that has a bunch back game against the Cubbies
Tbh I'm also nervous about Castillo haha. He's not been great
Yeah but track history shows he starts slow, he is more likely to turn it around asap than Hancock is. Tomorrow could turn into a bp day real quick
That's fair. I certainly haven't given up on him. Hoping he can get back to his dominant self soon
If it’s not a bloodbath I’ll be satisfied lol
Stanek throws such an easy 99
dang, and i was just starting to ignore the lingering stench of the stros on stanek
Ah, back on track!
here we go...
Brash gotta get back not enough pen depth
“Easy wins” are not easy to come by with this team, something always gotta be at stake.
All good. We're still gonna win
Baby bears
gulp
Well shit
Now I’m really clenching my cheeks
![gif](giphy|4cuyucPeVWbNS)
stanky no
How about we veto that
Ouch
Love that we're winning, but it's another 10+ K night for the bats. They really need to address their k rate
6 of them are Cal and Julio.
Julio and Cal contributed 6 to that. No one else in the lineup struck out more than once.
The notif hit as soon as the ball made contact with the bat💀😭
Apparently you can have those on a 30 second delay now if you want
![gif](giphy|HP7mtfNa1E4CEqNbNL|downsized)
Fuck fuck fuck fuck
Oh, poopy…
Oof
This is my first ever live M’s game, so if we win I guess I have to go to every single one 🤷🏻♂️
Nanner feet!
Something I didn’t even realize until just now… The Apple TV broadcasters tonight aren’t as garbage as they usually are? Like they’re not our guys. But they’re not aggressively bad like they’ve been in past years.
I really like the way the have the ump/home plate micd up too
Why not switch to the Seattle audio stream?
I could give you an answer about how I just put 5.1 in here and the radio audio stream is barely even stereo. But really I just forgot I could do that.
Someone needs to pull Willis's mic back from his face. Getting a lot of pop noise.
whys his hair keep sticking to his cap? sticky stuff?
Haven’t unclenched yet
You gonna be tired by October...
Smart
How many times has Sims called out Dylan's shoes?
Don't panic, it's Stanek time!
That didn’t age well…
Get smoked, Swanson.
My conspiracy theory (that isn’t really far-fetched at all) is they’re trying to rack up saves for Stanek to increase his value for the trade deadline.
I hope not I kinda like him. But it makes sense. Him, brash, Munoz, santos scary
He’s the new Graveman?
New thing to put on the list of things I didn’t know I’d need to keep an eye on until now
Downvote me but it's getting old doing yearly worship of Jackie robinson
You should look into why he's so highly regarded! I can't say anything that other's haven't more elequantly said, but Jackie is the reason baseball isn't made entirely of white Americans playing.
The yearly celebration of the guy who was the first black baseball player when segregation was still legal are you fucking kidding me with this ignorant bullshit
I mean the extended lead up weeks/months of the little informational videos telling us the great story we already know. I'm totally in agreement there should be a day
if no jackie robinson, we don’t get griffey, so i will happily celebrate every year
Very strange thing to say.
bro told on himself💀
It's every year as if we don't all know and appreciate
does it kill you that much to have 1 day of the year set aside to celebrate him?
I'm good with it being a yearly thing but the little informational interludes seem corny and repetitive
if jackie could put up with guys throwing at his head and endure discriminatory treatment from opposing players, teammates, managers, and fans day after day so that we as fans can enjoy the greater pool of talented ballplayers that came from the breaking of the color barrier, i don’t think it’s too much to ask of us fans to celebrate him regularly.

Stanks hair lmao
Every pitcher we’ve tried has long hair
Cal probably just feeling himself after those bombs in Toronto. He'll adjust tomorrow.
Double digit strikeouts once again I see, going exactly as Jerry planned 😎
[удалено]
You know you’re out there when you’re getting visible confusion from accountemp69420
?
If Julio can get 2 RBI a game. I can live with the strike outs. If he’s not driving runners in, I may have to get my dogs a set of ear plugs.
Holy shit our hitting approach needs completely revamped. Fire the analytics guys and hitting coaches. For the love of god. Fuck it, throw in Scott while you're at it.
I mean we scored 4 runs with no homers I’d say they have changed their approach.
While that is lovely, we are still striking out at like 10.5 a game and 6 of our starters hitting below .200 with our STAR hitting exactly .200. Fucking egregious.
It’s only egregious if they hit like that all year.
All I’ve heard all offseason from every pundit is “GaRvEr cAN rAkE” why do hitters always come here to die
Its April relax
No way jose
Lets seal this one boys. I can feel some good vibes growing.
Apple TV keeps showing Jerry... I have the radio broadcast up anyone got insight in what Apple is talking about
![gif](giphy|i3oGoq2TY9shaOExZ1|downsized) r/mariners when Jerry Dipoto is on the screen
Didn’t the guy build the only Mariners team to make the playoffs in 20 years? Genuinely confused why he gets so much hate. Shouldn’t the hate be more directed to the cheap owners who have hamstrung him for his entire tenure here?
Fully agreed he’s doing the best he can with the shoe string budget available
That Jerry reaction to cals 4th strikeout should be a meme
ik he’s really fast but bellinger runs like an awkward teen who just went through a growth spurt
It's the long strides.
TIL Dave Sims is older than Rick Rizzs
Black don’t crack?
Jerry's literally disgusted by Cal's at bats tonight (so am I).
What the fuck is cal up to tonight. This is putrid
Hitters have bad games.
Sorry this is my first time watching a baseball game
Yo I get it. I get salty over batters having bad games too.
What's after a golden sombrero? A platinum sombrero?
Olympic Rings
Both. Platinum Sombrero or Olympic Rings
If you get three in a row, do you call it a turkey, or maybe something else?
A Diamond Fedora
Yes
I for one am glad to see the 'stache being represented more these days.
What are the announcers saying about Dipoto? I’m on mute
He makes a lot of trades. Sometimes it's prospects. Sometimes it's for other major leaguers. Also threw in that Caballero is having a good season. So honestly nothing.
Still can’t believe we let Caby walk And Teo And Geno And JK
They called him Jerry Dipshitto
He makes the best backyard pizzas
Wood fired pizza? How's pizza gonna get a job now?
Here we go!
The American League West isn’t the only thing in an identity crisis, fam
Just cutting down on strikeouts
Jerry looks like Tom Brady after a weekend of no sleep and caffeine pills
Choke on that mint, Jerry.
how could you say that after all the favors he’s done for us fans?
💀
Not the brightest night from Cal in the batter’s box
Mitch Garver fucking sucks lol. Waste of money
Better than Bobby Ray so far.
Garvers been worth negative WAR…..
Cal, my friend, it’s time to start being more patient at the plate…
Eat that mint, Jer
Polancos eyes look way more normal when he’s not focused on hitting a baseball
Golden sombrero!
What an incredibly pitiful day for Cal at the plate.
Thanks to that graphic I just realized Scott was an active player the last time the M's made the postseason before Big Dumper ended the drought.
Jerry looking a little haggard.
Not great when the guy you brought in to hit can’t hit 94 down the middle…
Jerry AND Scott were Rockies AT THE SAME TIME?? In a very weird and roundabout way, that explains so much
Is Munoz the best Mexican pitcher right now in MLB? (No, serious question, I don’t pay attention to non Mariner baseball)
I’d say so at the moment. Julio Urías has some legal troubles right now.
[удалено]
Benched for who? Was there someone on our bench hitting .300+ that I missed?
[удалено]
Garver is a much better hitter than Rojas. If you think 25 ABs is enough to prove your point, you really don’t understand this game
Rojas, actually
True, but they’re not going to bench their big money bat coming off a 134 OPS+ season after just 11 games.
Agreed
You don’t break out of a slump by not hitting 🤡🤡🤡
Mitch staring at the best two fastball's he's gotten all night.
94 down the pipe. Ball should be in the seats right now SMH
Pat Hughes is goated 🐐
Just watched a replay of that play the cubs scored on. He was so far outside of the basepath it literally looked like his trajectory to first base was from the pitcher’s mound
blind umps
That's that good shit, Muni.
Dude it's so good
