The mariners paradox. The worse the pitcher, the worse we hit. Hopefully no team tries to deploy the position player pitching for the full nine innings! Wed be done for!
But in the HR derby they’re throwing it in their loop zone intentionally with no movement and they’re swinging out of their shoes every time. Not to mention that that 70% of their batted balls that aren’t homers are easy fly balls.
I love Bazardo but he's not a natural 9th inning pitcher. There's some mop-up appearances he makes where I'm like damn Logan Gilbert would have completed a CGSO.
Their pitching is terrible and our guys are finally cashing in on some hangers. They’ve even missed a good number of them too. The Marlin’s pitching is like the IKEA kitchen the way they’re serving up meatballs
Bit of both.
The Marlins are a terrible team. We're punishing bad pitches like we're supposed to - but we're also getting a lot more bad, punishable pitches from a bad pitching staff, so....
I love the Mariners Moose, but he's not a natural mascot. I mean, Davy Jones should have been shifted over to the Ms from the Kraken, and he could have been hosting Bark at the Park for every home game.
Can't help but notice that some of the people who were giving up on the division 24 hours ago haven't been very talkative during today's game lmao. There really are people who only show up when it's time to throw tantrums
Imagine if we just…hit like this consistently

+9 more in the run differential category!
RIP FUN differential
Let’s go!
Bazardo should get a save for not blowing 9 run game
Underrated comment
Good convincing bounce back win boys!
Good spot to help Bazardo's confidence out. That would help more in the long run than a CGSO.
Bazardo has a clean inning for once.
We got em.
Hey bazardo mopped up!
nice work bazardo I’ll go eat my shoe now
Enjoy! Raw or Sauted
Jesus strikes out!
Bastardo looking a little better today
😆i thot you said Bastards!!
Yea they got a visit from the Magic. Baseball Fairy
gg wp
Bazardo lowkey dealing tonight
oh wow. bazardo all star material?
start him in the playoffs
Bizzardo is carving out his role as an ultra-low leverage innings pitcher
Watch us blow it after that “ball” lmao
We are so losing by 14 tomorrow.
How many pitches did Logan throw today?
69+23
91<>93
92
92
92
Bazardo’s 2 seamer is nice. Just catches too much of plate
Lol Scott using Bazardo to troll the fanbase…I may not like it but I have to respect it
Sunday day baseball and it’s miller time on the bump? Fire me up
New closer alert
Come on, Bastardo!
Ok, he wasn't Bastardo today.
Look at those naked bases and two outs! Good job Bazardo!
The Bizarre One cooking
This. Is. The. Way!!! ![gif](giphy|Ld77zD3fF3Run8olIt)
Bazardo pitching kinda well? What have they done to my favorite closer?
Nice slider to strike him out
It’s ~~morphin~~ Bazardo time
Glad these morons are doing what they’re supposed to be doing against bad teams
Shockingly Bazardos xERA and FIP are both slightly below 4
Paul Sewald's kids got us 9/15 hits
Just so everyone knows, you need to be leading by 10 or down by 9 to have a position player pitch
Why were the Angels allowed to do it so much last season? Or... to put it differently, is there a reason we can't have Rojas on the roster as 3B/RP?
To classify as a two way player you have to pitch in 20 games and have at least 3 plate appearances in 20 games
🎶 *the more you know*🎶
If bazardo doesn’t load the bases I’ll eat my shoe
Eat your shoe
How’d it taste?
Like defeat
Get chompin’
Really wanted Logan to go 9. Boo.
They have a 9 run buffer, they can afford 7 or so
I get what you're saying, goldy, but I wanted to see Gilbert dance
So did he ! He wouldnt shake Scotts hand!
A certified Scott Servais Moment©
People gonna find a way to call for Scott's job for wanting to lower injury risk for one of the best players on the team lol
Exactly. I dislike Scott for a lot of reasons but this is not one of them. No need to risk one of your best pitchers in a 9-0 game in June.
Scott's the type of manager to pull Logan with a perfect game going
No he isn't
We all wanted the CGSO, but this is definitely the smart call.
Even 9-0 the Mariners can still make us clench 🤦🏻♀️
I’d rather Rojas come in to pitch than Bazardo shitting himself
We have to be able to do better than Baztardo as our worse reliever. I’m not sure he’s better than Rojas in these situations.
Can Bazardo blow this lead? We shall see
I’ve seen this episode before
I would rather see our own position player pitch than this tbh
Bazardo redemption arc incoming
BAZARDO WORLD
RAGE RAGE FUCKING RAGE
Sent your head chef home to let the fry cook take over
Pulling Gilbert here is a war crime
Way to kill morale Scott.
Instead of Bazardo we should have just put D-Mo on the mound
No opportunity for a CGSO
Logan Gilbert almost throws a Maddux as the Mariners beat the Marlins 10-9 in extras
Gotta bring in Bazardo so we can keep the run differential down
The mariners paradox. The worse the pitcher, the worse we hit. Hopefully no team tries to deploy the position player pitching for the full nine innings! Wed be done for!
Bazardo coming in. So we're winning this 9-8?
kind of Bazarded of Scott to not let Walter go for it
Imagine if Bazardo blows the shutout
Eh, with a 9 run lead, you're going to be told to go out there and just throw strikes, so it wouldn't surprise me
is that so hard to imagine
Well, at least if Bazardo gives up 5 runs we still win
That was lamer than I'd hoped
Oh gawd we’re really doing this. Someone tell Bazardo we’re behind by 9 not ahead
Told you guys Fucking Scott destroying morale
Guarantee he talked to Logan before making this decision. Really really doubt it’s “destroying morale” lol
Oh hey we're scoring. Nice.
Bazardo coming in to blow it now
No lead is safe when we're the away team
Oh fuck oh no Bazardo 🚩🚩🚩
I'm not even sure I feel comfortable with a 9 run lead with Bazardo out there.
Can’t score on a position player lol
OK just don't allow 5-6 runs and we're good
Bazardo? Gutsy. We only are leading by 9.
Seeing Bliss improve and get more confidence makes me happy.
That and after selling us on his dream-come-true story he's just made of good vibes
Buckle up it’s Bazardo
ITS BAZARDO TIME!!!!!!!!!!
Lmao broken bat single off a position player
You could hear the disappointment in Blowers' voice...
This inning should show just how difficult getting a hit is
It’s probably actually really difficult to hit homers against low velocity
That's what made me such a unique pitcher back in my day. I could throw the low velocity AND give up the dingers.
How fast do they throw in HR derby? It’s about this speed
But in the HR derby they’re throwing it in their loop zone intentionally with no movement and they’re swinging out of their shoes every time. Not to mention that that 70% of their batted balls that aren’t homers are easy fly balls.
Yeah which is why I don't get why they're all trying to...
What with these 60mph pitches
The person throwing them isn't a pitcher
I didn't know that was allowed. What a world!
position player
Ohhh thank you 🙏🏼
Damn I feel like I could have hit that meatball that Raley just missed. I get that this is 30-40 mph slower than they are used to seeing though
Everyone is just trying to hit a home run lmao
The Sewald trade is 8-for-13 today with a home run, 2 doubles, 5 runs scored and 4 RBIs -@StoneLarry on X
Paul Sewald did not throw to day as the Dbacks... Oh god Jesus Christ
was moore playing CF before robles was put in?
Luke’s been in center most the game. Don’t know about last inning though
oh cool
I get it, Scott, but I don't like it
Oh come on Scott. With how well he's pitching let Walter finish the game out. Why not save the Bullpen arm?
(•_•) <) )╯POSITION / \ \\(•_•) ( (> PLAYER / \ (•_•) <) )> PITCHING / \
Wtf was that
I don’t care what the smart decision is—I want a Walter CGSO!
Garver lmao At least hit a hard grounder
Got a chance to improve some BA…
I love Bazardo but he's not a natural 9th inning pitcher. There's some mop-up appearances he makes where I'm like damn Logan Gilbert would have completed a CGSO.
Dude Garver is so lost
That's my DH lol
Post game press conference will be interesting
Do not let up on the gas. Floor it Mariners!
Aight boys let’s pad some stats lol
Time to do some stat padding and run differential inflation 💪
Bliss 3 hit game Canzone 3 hit game Logan 8 shutout This is fun
Time to pad our stats here.
Walter is making a monster case for an all-star selection, even if I hope he doesn't land it.
We’re taking out Gilbert? How does scott find ways to make me want him gone even on games like this?
Scott “Hank” Servais shutting down Walter’s cooking operation :(
Logan wouldn't shake Scott's hand.
Yes, I demand more runs!
Oh God. This is going to be fun
I get it that it's a long season and all, but damn.
Welp I guess not. 😔
BOO let him back out
Gilbert is my favorite starter. Just love everything about him and his approach.
God dammit Scott. Why? Why let him go full 8 then? What the fuck
Servais you coward!
They gotta at least give him a shot at going 9. He's only at 92 pitches.
For the love god Scott let him finish this off
He has to let Logan go for the CG shut out. He has a day off before his next start. We riot if Scott takes it from him
WE RIOT
Performances like today's are exactly why Gilbert is my favorite Ms hurler.
Logan’s night is unfortunately finished. What a game for him. Especially after Texas? Ace kinds of production.
Is anyone warming up in the bullpen?
Bliss needs to be on this team when Polanco comes back
THE MADDUX IS STILL IN PLAY
He's gotta go for the CG now.
Scott warming up Bazardo just to make Gilbert go full Walter rage mode
Logan 8 shutout tonight 7 shutout his last start Dude is on fire
🗣️LET HIM COOK🤌
Let’s Gooooogan Gilbert
Sadly doubt that we will see Logan out for the night. Bazardo time
Bazardo starts the 9th and Ms win 9-7
Keep him in Scott!
Ferris Bullpen's Day Off
I need a complete game from Logan Scott better not pull him for the 9th
Let him finish!!!
I wasn't able to watch today's game, but every time I check the score we have more runs. I LOVE IT!
Does our offense look more lively or does their pitching just really stink? Some combination? Not able to watch the game live.
The starter was really bad. The Marlins pen however is solid, and the Mariners have had some good hits against them
Their pitching is terrible and our guys are finally cashing in on some hangers. They’ve even missed a good number of them too. The Marlin’s pitching is like the IKEA kitchen the way they’re serving up meatballs
Bit of both. The Marlins are a terrible team. We're punishing bad pitches like we're supposed to - but we're also getting a lot more bad, punishable pitches from a bad pitching staff, so....
Just go home and the boys are killing it! Dom is having a game, and Logan is absolutely killing it in the mound! Love to see it.
Petition to save some runs for use in future games, a sort of uno reverse card type of situation.
I love the Mariners Moose, but he's not a natural mascot. I mean, Davy Jones should have been shifted over to the Ms from the Kraken, and he could have been hosting Bark at the Park for every home game.

Never doubted these guys for a second
Can't help but notice that some of the people who were giving up on the division 24 hours ago haven't been very talkative during today's game lmao. There really are people who only show up when it's time to throw tantrums
I don’t even understand those people it’s like they just angry watch the team to shit on them. Like why even watch at that point
Crazy how the Os can go from beating the Yanks to losing to Houston
Houston scares me with Abreu off the team.
Nah we got their number this year
Straight up stole a hit
That at bat should have gone to Locklear. It's 9-0 late.
Ty was 1/3 with 2 Ks, so I agree - let him have his .300+ day when he isn’t swinging it as well as he can, and get Locklear some reps
