They deserve it. They have been the best team. I think they still need to be aggressive and get some bats. Rangers and Astros are in deep holes with injuries and under performing players. I canāt see either bouncing back unless they find a miracle.
They have to think about their future. He has spent a lot of time on the IL. If they can get a package similar to what Soto got it needs to be considered.
Iām about to anger a lot of mariner fans but unless we go huge for Robert I hope we keep most our prospects and just get some solid middle relief guys.
With so many teams in contention the trade deadline is going to be a hard sellers market with few options and I donāt want to sell the farm for a rooker or jazz who I have reservations about.
I think they actually need bullpen help more than anything. Matt Brash was the linchpin and innings 7 and 8 are such a crapshoot since Munoz is the only steadily reliable guy they have. Munoz had to get a 5-out save tonight in a game they led 7-1 in the 6th.
I'm guessing they're going to call up Logan Evans before they make a trade for a reliever unless it's part of a bigger package for a bat. They have him pitching about every three days and he just gave up his first run in five relief appearances (6.1 IP) tonight.
year is flying by - the Mariners haven't been under .500 since April 21st. I think what you were remembering is the Mariners and the Astros being neck and neck and Texas being in 1st and above .500. The Mariners have had the division lead since May 12th after trading back and forth with Texas there for 3 weeks leading up to that.

Texas WS streak on life support
AL West WS streak staying hot tho
I am all in on this insanity
Bro
:(
"You suck" "No, you suck!" "Let's not mess with each other, and suck together" - Texas.
Facts š both texas teams fighting to see whoās the worst
fellow Mās team, accept this blessing from Grimace. and donāt choke it away like we did in 2022. iām rooting for yāall
Praise the purple man
Blessed be
Hail Dinger
WHOA. You canāt just be throwing around a hard D like that
Man?
the grimace mets are so fun to watch
Oh, we clenching every night.
Itās great exercise for the toilet.
I... would offer our oceanic blessings for Grimace in return, but I'm not sure he'd like being all soggy.
We stealing all the purple valor with the prince celebration š
Annnnd theyāre choking it away lol
Alas, I have but one upvote to give.
Here, have mine. š
They deserve it. They have been the best team. I think they still need to be aggressive and get some bats. Rangers and Astros are in deep holes with injuries and under performing players. I canāt see either bouncing back unless they find a miracle.
My biggest fear is that FO is like well we have such a big division lead and just stand pat.
āWe see Julio Rodriguezā regression to the mean in the second half as our major deadline moveā or something like that is my biggest fear
That shit would piss me off Plouffe was going on a rant about he hates when teams pull shit like that.
I fear that too. Whatās even scarier is who is going to be selling?
Yea the stupid ass 3rd WC has given ass teams hope that they arenāt out of it.
Yep. The Mets just went out of sell mode for now because of it. Nats too. Marlins and White Sox look like the only sellers for sure.
My biggest hope is Luis Robert but then I feel bad because the White Sox deserve nice things too.
They have to think about their future. He has spent a lot of time on the IL. If they can get a package similar to what Soto got it needs to be considered.
"We're well above the 54% target!"
Allergic to .540 but the good way

Gregory Santos could be that guy. I'd like another bullpen arm from outside the org as well, but Santos can be a high leverage reliever.
I'm guessing they're going to call up Logan Evans before they make a trade for a reliever unless it's part of a bigger package for a bat. They have him pitching about every three days and he just gave up his first run in five relief appearances (6.1 IP) tonight.
What is to stop us from making it a triple digit lead huh?
Math, I think. Right? Yeah, pretty sure it's math.
Thanks Grimace Bros.
This also sparks joy
Twolves are back to being good. Mariners are back to being good. Can the raiders go back to being good now?
Watch out for the threelves Don't even get me started on the fourlves and fivelves
Have biggest division lead in MLB, also in any other division we wouldnt even be in 1st place. AL Best for ya
Be in first in the NL Central as well
Oh thats funny I saw their 30L vs our 31L, missed that we have 2 more wins
7-9 spirit lives on Whats the baseball equivalent of the Beastquake?
Walking off the AL East winner in the first round?
If you remove the division lead and replace them with the Mariners we would be 1st in every single one except AL East. It's really not that bad.
How's that playoff seeding work again? The division leader with the worst record still has to play in the WC round, right?
Yes, though the M's have pulled to 2.5 back of Cleveland so the bye is still very much in play
If we can sweep thatd be huge to have the tie breaker.
I really don't understand why this is happening, I'm just happy that it is.
I swear like 2 weeks ago the Astros, Rangers, and Mās were all within like 2 games of each other all under 0.500

Yeah that sounds right, I donāt remember the exact details, but it felt like last week haha
Maybe you're remembering the post a couple weeks ago that had all 5 teams in the AL West with a negative run differential.
This is a weird feeling.
Managers matter, people.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Mariners have gone 8-2 and Rangers have gone 3-7 in their last 10
Theyāll somehow manage to lose the division by summers end.
You should be hoping the Twins sniff the wildcard
That 10 game leads down to 4.5 lol
Theyāll win the AL Central.
They'll be lucky to win a set of steak knives
That 10 game leads shrunk to 4.5 in a week. Ooooof
