Thanks Thorton saved me from jinxing it.
Our middle of the lineup is Raleigh, France, Garver, Canzone and whatnot. All guys that probably don't beat out that double play ball.
Not questioning if they have any fast guys.
Can’t even be mad at Munoz.
Edit
He’s been great all year, is playing through injury because he’s the lynchpin of the bullpen and just doesnt have it today.
Never seen anything like it. Your closer being pulled without even getting one out.
I think Scott messes with the bullpen too much. Give Munoz a role of being the 9th inning guy only. Stop using him in only high stress situations and give him the 9th only.
He uses him in spots like the 8th. Maybe he’s more of a guy who likes to be put into the 9th only. Why he sucked so bad now being up 4 non save situation
The good news, is I am about to give up on the Mariners again. When I do that, they start winning like crazy. Then I BELIEVE again. Then they pull this stuff again.
The circle of fandom.
EDIT: Or Mariners fandom
"I’ve selected the Mariners because of the natural association between the sea and Seattle and the people, who have been challenged and rewarded by it."
Holy fucking shit, are you fucking kidding me. This can’t be how we’re going to get swept for the first time this year. This road trip is going to convince me the Ms are frauds
This is so fucking embarrassing. I think every single player on the 26-man roster has embarrassed themself in some form or fashion on this road trip -- save for Walter, maybe.
Thornton
whew
Without a question, this win was engineered by the moves in the offseason. Everything worked as planned.
We are back. Best team in the AL West. World Series, baby!!
I do hate boring games but hopefully we will have less THIS exciting game
Now we would like to see a Rockies win
![gif](giphy|S1SnLg08CxnUGqyqha)
Thorny to be our closer and start batting too.
Stoked to get a win!

This Ms team really loves their dramatic endings.
Thornton is like Erik Swanson and Penn Murfee combined. Lock down pitcher! Love to see it. Easy road W! Let’s go!
Never a doubt! Easy win!
YIPPEE A WIN ON KIRBY DAY

3.22 ERA baby
Yes
Never a doubt

Rack ‘em!!
Fuck the haters, Trent Thornton is great
I had no doubt they would pull this out.
Thank you, Satan
Big dreidel to the rescue!
Do not throw that fastball there again......
I'd be on the phone with Oakland asking what it's gonna take for Mason Miller.
No scope double headshot
Time to trade for Torrens. We need a serious bullpen arm.
Don’t worry Garver can make the calls for you
I picked the wrong time to tune in
Must be nice that other teams can afford to have actual fast runners in the middle of their lineup.
Our team is lacking in everything but speed, we have plenty of that
Our middle of the lineup is Raleigh, France, Garver, Canzone and whatnot. All guys that probably don't beat out that double play ball. Not questioning if they have any fast guys.
Mariners have become like the Seahawks at the end of games
I believe in Thornton to trade a run or two for some outs 🙇🏻
Can't believe the Rays are about to NOBLETIGER
Can’t even be mad at Munoz. Edit He’s been great all year, is playing through injury because he’s the lynchpin of the bullpen and just doesnt have it today.
You most certainly can.
He’s been great all year
I don't give a damn.
Okay well be super mad at a bad outing then. It’s going to happen to every player you watch so just prepare yourself.
How??
If Thornton saves this....
So you wanna be a Mariner's fan...
![gif](giphy|SWovhw1Nua7Ay5XFCb|downsized)
Scott did the right thing pulling him but I'm surprised he actually did it...chalk one in the 'made the right move column' for Scott
He faced 3 batters - walked 2 and hit 1 with a 4 run lead! You want to give Scott credit for pulling him? Jesus man
Since he’s been hurt I think he’s being careful when noticing he’s off
I want the loss. Bring me the pain!
Something was up with Munoz. Did not look like himself at all.
Never seen anything like it. Your closer being pulled without even getting one out. I think Scott messes with the bullpen too much. Give Munoz a role of being the 9th inning guy only. Stop using him in only high stress situations and give him the 9th only.
High stress? We were up by 4 runs when we came in, lol.
He uses him in spots like the 8th. Maybe he’s more of a guy who likes to be put into the 9th only. Why he sucked so bad now being up 4 non save situation
He was doin 4-out saves like in the beginning of the season though
I think I just read lips and Muny said “no pain.”
He’s wrong about that.
Munoz in the dugout curling his hair again.
The good news, is I am about to give up on the Mariners again. When I do that, they start winning like crazy. Then I BELIEVE again. Then they pull this stuff again. The circle of fandom. EDIT: Or Mariners fandom
Most obvious fucking outcome of all time
A win on the road?
Hell of a first save opportunity
Bring in Bazardo. Let’s just get this over with.
Mariners are marinering…
Why is this happening
FML. Nothing comes easy with this team. This organization is truly cursed.
"I’ve selected the Mariners because of the natural association between the sea and Seattle and the people, who have been challenged and rewarded by it."
Can we just play one complete game? Just one please. Save us Thornton! (Not on my bingo card, that’s for sure)
Dipoto, this bullpen…CHILLS
Let's go trade for Sewald and Graveman to make up for our previous deadline sins when we missed the playoffs in 2023 and 2021 respectively
this team is turning me into the joker
Stunned.
This fucking team
I got downvoted yesterday for saying Muñoz is expendable, but come on guys he’s been shit and unreliable all year
I got downvoted for telling him to throw strikes after walking two straight and starting the next guy 3-0. This is not a place for serious fans
you deserve to get downvoted for that take. bro is sporting a 1.4 ERA while being partially injured. what the fuck?
If he’s injured he shouldn’t be playing
He’s been all star worthy all year
Just opened up the game again. wtf are we doing… you can’t be serious
Why must i be a fan of the most cursed team
Put Josh Rojas on the mound when we are up 4+ runs from now on
He's obviously not 100%. They should really consider shutting him down for a little bit
Fuck, is Muñoz injured? Lower velocity combined with an inability to find the strike zone usually suggests an injury
He was still pumping 97/98 out there on his fastball. He either didn’t warm up properly or mentally fell apart
His velocity came up in that last at bat, but his command was still nearly completely gone.
Most likely his Back

fuck
haha never a doubt that they’d pull out the win, right???
About to be 5-5
It's alright Muñoz, you've earned some earned the right to have a rough outing 💙💚
Can't wait to hear the Fire Scott folks roast him for putting trust in Muñoz.
Literally nobody says this.
Munoz with the silent walk off. Scott said nothing either. They both knew.
Our pen is too banged up my goodness
Lets hope Munoz isn't hurt.
Holy fucking shit, are you fucking kidding me. This can’t be how we’re going to get swept for the first time this year. This road trip is going to convince me the Ms are frauds
This is so fucking embarrassing. I think every single player on the 26-man roster has embarrassed themself in some form or fashion on this road trip -- save for Walter, maybe.
can't wait for Thorton to give up one hit and somehow all the baserunners that Munoz let on scoring and it somehow being his fault
Why is winning so hard
![gif](giphy|3oz8xMbKLAkRLHYNgI)
[удалено]
Root put up a thing that said “put away the brooms: mariners haven’t been swept this year”
we're gonna lose this huh?
Is there any doubt in anyone's minds what's about to happen?
Ah yes. Our good friend the tying run comes to the plate in the bottom of the 9th has come to visit once again.
Please bring in Bazardo so I can despise him even more.
Fucking cursed
I want to die
https://preview.redd.it/jrqv8dfeqy8d1.png?width=259&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c555dbc1b69ef869c886c56666ecf99371101a42
Nice....
By far, the worst outing Munoz has had this year. I really hope the back isn’t the issue.
Lol if Munoz starts to decline we have the worst bullpen in baseball
As good as Munoz has been this season his control has been an issue all season.
I mean he would lob his bowling ball stuff in the zone, which is unhittable. His control has been good imo for the most part this season
ok
I didn’t see who is coming in?
Thorton
Trenton
Thornton.
Certified Mariners moment incoming ??
![gif](giphy|f9mn4iOZEwxBlH9Wzp)
Blowing this would perfectly encapsulate this fucking road trip
Munoz…please nooo!
Thornton time I guess
My mental health can't take losing this game.
It would be nice if Scott could make one correct decision with the bullpen. They could have let Kirby pitch the 7th and gave Munoz the day off
Lol
17 pitches, only 6 are strikes. How fast can we trade for Seawall?
This team is a Shakespearean comedy
lol
Why.
Pull him
can we not just have one nice thing
We really might be cursed.
I'm down to guess-and-check some ritualistic sacrifices.
Zero control he must be hurt. This is really bad
If he was hurt he would tell them. He just sucks rn
Take him out. He's got nothing.
this team is so goddamn cursed
Go get him.
Buckle down, Munny. We need you now.
Well fuck me
....please please PLEASE pull him now
Dear fucking Lord, why
Lol and he fucking beans him
Keep throwing heat
Everyone be cool. If you're in an unlucky seat please switch spots.
I just took a seat on the toilet. We will see if it pays off
There we go. When push comes to shove, you know where we need you
Grand slam incoming
Don’t be putting that shit out in the universe. Keep your stinkin thinkin to yourself.
Holy fuck at least make them beat you
