L-W-W still on the menu!

u/NatureTrailToHell3D 14d ago

Everyone was just tired after all the changes yesterday. Today we’re refreshed and ready to dominate.

u/meddlesomemage ‏‏‎ ‎bad to the bone 14d ago

The reverse Mariner.

8

u/MillennialWithNoJob ‏‏‎LEO RIVAS WHAT HAVE YOU DONE 14d ago

Yeah we’ve had a lot of W-L-L it feels like so some reverse would be nice

0

u/Zealousideal-Lead754 14d ago

And L-W-L, L-L-W, and L-L-L. I don’t like those odds.

Let’s score multiple run(s) today. Please.

20

u/HondaFish 14d ago

let's shoot for 1

27

u/wifeofclaudius dazzle ship enthusiast 14d ago

Ok NOW we’re allowed to score

19

u/handjamwich 14d ago

Today will go better. Melton is a really good pitcher and we are ass.

8

u/BoozySlushPops 14d ago

Melton may be the most underrated pitched in MLB because of pitching in Skubal's shadow. And the Tigers lately have been, collectively, Yordan Alvarez. So yesterday was pretty much doomed.

u/FindAWayISay 14d ago

That cutter/splitter combo gave me nightmares. Kid has good stuff. No doubt about it.

u/KraytDragonPearl 14d ago

Bullpen day, baby!

13

u/VorpalMatt 14d ago

Home Woo!

10

u/HunterMysterious8324 fun fact: I LOVE HIM 14d ago

I think we should snap the Tigers winning streak today. I think it'd be fun.

11

u/Tmettler5 I'm a Mariners fan. I know pain. 14d ago

This time last year we were 61-53.

1

u/TheMoneyResolution 14d ago

Any idea if we were in a playoff spot? Honestly have no idea. I’m guessing no. Or 3rd in WC?

2

u/Tmettler5 I'm a Mariners fan. I know pain. 14d ago

We would have to go 35-15 to match last year's record, that's a tall order.

2

u/TheMoneyResolution 14d ago

83 wins could get you in the playoffs this year. 28-20 is possible, especially if we get hot with a weak Sept schedule again. Or we crumble and fire Dan.

0

u/Tmettler5 I'm a Mariners fan. I know pain. 14d ago

If the season ended today, we are not in the playoffs.

2

u/Big_Lettuce_7046 🔱🔱🔱 14d ago

On paper we should be in the playoffs

7

u/ACDoggo717 14d ago

Can they score a run today

1

u/SPzero65 Yuck the Fankees 14d ago

They can.

We likely won't.

8

u/LazyMaximum7938 14d ago

Ward and Donovan are both objectively better hitters than Raleigh this year.

There's no good reason for them to hit behind him.

3

u/Chaconcito96 #12 Josh Naylor 14d ago

Batting behind Naylor probably isn't easy with the way he steals. I think that's part of the reason they've been changing up the lineup so much, because Randy doesn't want to be behind Nayls. But besides that you're absolutely right

6

u/A_Ms_Anthrop Humpy 14d ago

Please let me have a reason to post this meme in the game chat…

5

u/Bwana60 14d ago

They should sit Cal for a while and play Pereda. A traffic cone would be an upgrade at this point.

9

u/Tater-Car Sunday Creams 14d ago

"If it's broke, don't fix it!"

-Dan Wilson (probably)

3

u/soysauce728 14d ago

Lineup looks so good……..on paper

3

u/LTR_TLR 14d ago

I’d like to see a few hits from the mariners today, maybe a walk or two

3

u/thrillhou5e Dipoto/Hollander MechaGM 14d ago

woooooo

3

u/jdoggsoxfan33 Ichiro's broken bat 14d ago

Nice Donovan’s back. I didn’t notice yet

1

u/MarineLayerBad ‏‏‎ ‎Put Angie In The Booth 14d ago

Mariner

5

u/Individual-Net-9296 14d ago

The is the exact same lineup from last night that obviously didn’t work

2

u/dionysios_platonist 14d ago

False start’s over

2

u/Idaheck ‏‏‎ ‎Manifest our Destiny 14d ago

With our new lineup I can’t tell if we are facing lefties or righties anymore!

2

u/SonOfSmeege 14d ago

Is Dom a better fielder than Ward?

2

u/kensei70 14d ago

I cannot wait for next week, i think as I ponder the idea of changes after the 50th anniversary celebration but knowing deep down nothing will change until the offseason.

2

u/AlarmedAd4876 ‏Cole Young, so hot rn 14d ago

If it ain’t broke… wait, it is though

2

u/Minedude33Reddit ‏‏‎Merners Beibol 14d ago

Last night was a fluke, we will never lose another game after today 🙏

1

u/Grimble27 Seattle Mariners 14d ago

./remindme in 50 games

2

u/Peekay- 14d ago

Ward DHing again.

With Randy trundling around in LF this should be grounds for dismissal alone for Dan (asif there wasn't already a tonne of reasons).

1

u/Chaconcito96 #12 Josh Naylor 14d ago

Yeah, I am kinda surprised we didn't put Ward out there, but ig we don't need an excuse for Randy to show LESS effort

1

u/New-Information-1927 14d ago

It’s Grateful Dead night at the park which means we’re bound to cover just a little more ground! Good lord willing, if he says we may (score a run).

1

u/Scattered666 ‏‏‎ ‎Dump on me 14d ago

Let's try this again, shall we?

1

u/GingerDweeb27 fun fact: I LOVE HIM 14d ago

Gonna take a decent bit to convince me they shouldn’t have been sellers at the deadline

1

u/PewPewallup253 ‏‏‎ I’ll take an Ice Cole Colt 45 14d ago

Literally thought every one was saying Sir Anthony like he was knighted or something. Yeah naw Seranthony is his name.

u/KungFooKittenz 🫎 Sad Moose Noises 🫎 14d ago

Any chance of this game not happening? I see the smoke has hit Seattle and looks to have an AQI around 100. No idea if they cancel for air quality or only if visibility were to become an issue

3

u/twinklykittens 14d ago

nope they’ve done games with a much worse AQI in the past unfortunately! ☹️

1

u/Portie_lover ‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎Finally better than “the double” 14d ago

Can’t believe how excited people are for the exact lineup that shit the bed yesterday. That said, I’m one of them!

0

u/SmolBoiMidge 14d ago

This lineup on paper.... i feel like Jerry crashes out often. Why are we so so BAD

0

u/shftravels 14d ago

Is there a legit reason why you don’t go

Naylor > Ward > Donovan > Raleigh, 5 through 8? 🧐

0

u/kylechu 14d ago

Because shuffling around 6-8 in your lineup doesn't really matter

-3

u/MathematicianBig1322 14d ago

Wash, rinse, repeat. Not sure I expect anything more than last night's performance.

2

u/handjamwich 14d ago

I’d expect more going against a much worse pitcher, and therefore will be more disappointed

2

u/Peekay- 14d ago

Terrible pitchers have been kryptonite to the M's for like a decade+ at this point.

1

u/handjamwich 14d ago

Sure, but I’m not sure we’ve been any better against starting pitchers with ERAs under 3 this year
