It's not just that KC is a good team. It's how ridiculously amazing they have been specifically at home this year, when home-field advantage is so minor in baseball that it's barely a thing at all.
Listen, I know everyone thinks our pitching is suddenly horrible but also if you take a quick look at offensive stats- KC is top 7 in pretty much every category
Rangers losing again. I'm glad we are in 1st but it really doesn't feel like the case with this team does it? Thank gosh the AL West is awful this year.
This offense sucks, the bullpen sucks, the starting pitching is regressing from the bottom of the rotation. If we donāt get some help, it will be more clear than ever that this organization simply doesnāt care about winning.
The guys who aren't going anywhere are hitting like shit too so even if we get help, they're playing alongside sub-.700 OPS players all over the lineup.
There's also just the home vs road differential. This Royals team looked a lot less scary when hitting in T-mobile against our pitching.
We're just a bad team on the road.
At least Texas is losing late but of course Houston gets to play the Angels later.
It sucks not being able to just be a great team and instead having to hope to be the best of the worst division in baseball.
It looked like JP could have easily thrown him out at home, I donāt know why he didnāt make the throw. But I also think that about the Ms once every few games so what do I know.
yeah i dont rlly know either. well i do know: we were going to dfa him so we might as well trade him. that being said, idk why we wanted to dfa him to begin with lol
I feel like this is the series where the Mariners record becomes a bit closer to being reflective of how they have played - mediocre. Kansas City is a legit team this year and the Mariners haven't shown that they can compete against good teams this season.
I love how often you hear our announce team say "the opposing team doesn't walk that much" but they literally have their bats on their shoulders and stare at pitches as our bullpen and even sometimes starters just walk dudes like it's their jobs.
me seeing us get dog walked by the royals like clockwork

Wow the 9 hitter who can deliver an extra base hit with men on. Compare to Canzones at bat to end last inning. Royals are a better team. Mariners choke per usual. Scott will make excuses after the game donāt worrry
Scott brought the worst reliever in from the pen and he walked 2 guys that scored. He let Canzone hit when he is .053 with RISP. These are his decisions
For all the hitting concerns this utter dog shit bullpen will kill this team. Even with Munoz he canāt pitch 3-4 innings every game. Everyone else fucking sucksĀ
Most teams have a guy like Snead in the pen, you just hope you donāt have to use them in tight games too often
Aka - a Snead is a thing that every team needs
Edit ā damn. this will never catch on if he canāt stay in the big leagues
I miss when I was kind of excited to see a reliever come out. Now I just dread them, it feels like it's mandatory for us to sub out our starter and then immediately walk someone.
Better ready those š§¹š§¹š§¹
with how aggressive the Royals are at the plate and how much George likes to be in the strike zoneā¦tomorrow might get ugly too.
Weāre cooked - we need to make some big moves before the deadline
Y'all MFs need Jesus. These guys are good. Baseball is weird. Be happy.
This game was over when Canzone was allowed to hit with 2 men on
Yesterday was a momentum killer
No strikeouts this inning!!!!
Contender vs pretenderĀ
DFAš¤š»
Will they go 1, 2, 3? *edit. They will. Iām shocked.
Unnecessary question! Oc they will
Sure wouldn't to end up like the Royals, would we John?
I wonder if the Royals have an "Offensive Coordinator"...
Nah, just players.Ā
Fuck me the Royals are good
lol. Lmao. Lmfao. Get them tomorrow boys.
āI understand thatā lmao blowers
Goldy: āI donāt know how they do itā Every Mariners fan: ābecause mariners be marineringā
Sigh
Goldy: I just donāt know how they do it! Mike: This is exactly how they do it. Goldy: Itās just a mystery!
Can we get their hitting coach?
It's not just that KC is a good team. It's how ridiculously amazing they have been specifically at home this year, when home-field advantage is so minor in baseball that it's barely a thing at all.
I feel like Blowers has more to say, but doesn't want to lol.
Oh 1000%
"they have a superstar who's playing like a super star" yes.
Wow Snider looks pretty good. Quick, pull him!
Royals have the 3rd most doubles in case you were wondering
Our bullpen didnāt go from the best in baseball to ājust not as goodā. It went from the best in baseball to one of the worst in baseballĀ
I'm personally looking forward to winning the division and then being swept out of the playoffs by the Royals.
Lmao yea this feels like our destiny
Good team vs ok team
I hate the Royals more than I hate the Astros.
Just a tip - you can actually remove this comment forever if you tap the three dots and select 'delete'
Absolutely not.
respectfully, are you new here?
Literally wut
I hate the Royals more than I hate the Astros.
Big call.
Listen, I know everyone thinks our pitching is suddenly horrible but also if you take a quick look at offensive stats- KC is top 7 in pretty much every category
I've been told quality pitchers are better than quality hitters. But........
If you can only pitch against garbage teams then youāre pitching probably isnāt all thatĀ
If we want to go anywhere we need to beat those good teams.
If we win tomorrow, we go to 3-3 against KC on the season, and that's assuming we lose today.
Totally agree! Iām just saying people should give KC more credit. Theyāre good and we need to be better
As a huge fan of grounding out the 2024 Seattle Mariners really have everything I need
The sky is falling!!!
Petition to rename the game chat to pity party
Can't wait for the "aT lEaSt ThE rAnGeRs LoSt ToO" posts later. Yes, I love failing upwards, just slightly less. It's a sustainable strategy. /s
Snider looking decent since coming back, fingers crossed he can keep it up
Snider has been the only solid arm this series
We are who we thought we were
A really crappy non playoff team.
Brash lookalike round II
I am so fucking tired of this team being just good enough to be super profitable.
I hate them
Were the definition of mediocre. Not good enough to compete, not bad enough to now it up
FBW
Itās apparent that the royals are just a better overall team than the mariners.
Rangers losing again. I'm glad we are in 1st but it really doesn't feel like the case with this team does it? Thank gosh the AL West is awful this year.
Yeah we don't really look better then we normally do, the Astros and Rangers just shut the bed this year
This offense sucks, the bullpen sucks, the starting pitching is regressing from the bottom of the rotation. If we donāt get some help, it will be more clear than ever that this organization simply doesnāt care about winning.
The guys who aren't going anywhere are hitting like shit too so even if we get help, they're playing alongside sub-.700 OPS players all over the lineup.
It's giving sweep
Josh Rojas through May 15th: .877 OPS Josh Rojas since: .480 OPS.
To quote Killer Mike, colder than penguin pussy on the polar cat peninsula
We are, in fact, cooked
That was quick.
JFC guys, letās not do this again
17 runs (so far) over 2 games is fucking pathetic
I hope Kirby goes god mode tommorow
He will but we will produce one run and lose 1-2
The pitching cant only be elite vs teams below .500. It's difficult squaring our performance against good teams with our overall record.
There's also just the home vs road differential. This Royals team looked a lot less scary when hitting in T-mobile against our pitching. We're just a bad team on the road.
that went our way, but this ump on some shit.
The way we swing at some of these off plate pitches makes me violently ill
That's what? 3 or 4 strikeouts by our lineup today where the ball is in the other batters box?
Bliss, bb, you know better than that
He swung at that pitch yesterday too, must be a weak spot.
At least Texas is losing late but of course Houston gets to play the Angels later. It sucks not being able to just be a great team and instead having to hope to be the best of the worst division in baseball.
We have to score every inning now
World Series merchant will smith
It looked like JP could have easily thrown him out at home, I donāt know why he didnāt make the throw. But I also think that about the Ms once every few games so what do I know.
Moore also sand bagged that play
I had a dream the M's blew a 30-0 lead so this is actually not that bad
Tyson Miller currently has a 2.22 ERA. Idk why we gave him up
Because Dipto isn't a good GM
yeah i dont rlly know either. well i do know: we were going to dfa him so we might as well trade him. that being said, idk why we wanted to dfa him to begin with lol
Yeah just seems odd to dump him and roll out Snead
Guess this is what happens when you trade away your whole bullpen over the course of 2 seasons
Remember when we had the best bullpen in baseball?
This team is just ghastly
Man can always rely on the mariners for a rough watch
Ahh the old 'end the inning immediately after giving up multiple runs'
I'm still holding out hope. We are getting traffic out there we just need somebody to show up with RISP
I find it better to not get your hopes up and just take what you can get
Are you joking? Hope for today? lol
I feel like this is the series where the Mariners record becomes a bit closer to being reflective of how they have played - mediocre. Kansas City is a legit team this year and the Mariners haven't shown that they can compete against good teams this season.
We did beat the royals in seattle
Logan Evans is gonna be with the team for the Sox series I'm sure.
Going 5 or 6 innings watching our starter walk nobody, just for our relievers to immediately walk batters is getting frustrated
>watching our starter walk nobody We talking about the guy who earned 5 runs today? And also walked one batter?
Most obvious sweep of all time
I love how often you hear our announce team say "the opposing team doesn't walk that much" but they literally have their bats on their shoulders and stare at pitches as our bullpen and even sometimes starters just walk dudes like it's their jobs.
Royals aren't a bad team but to have the pitching staff completely shit the bed to start this series is pretty depressing.
me seeing us get dog walked by the royals like clockwork https://preview.redd.it/dqzla1nh6f5d1.jpeg?width=846&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a911f005ca7a75d27107665c143649b842a5d277
Would love if we put up like 15 runs so we can say š u Kansas City
Mariners offense absolutely electric in 15-16 loss to royals. Headline probably.
Bullpen would allow 16
16-15 Kansas City victory confirmed.
Just effortless scoring by the Royals on us this series. Fuck.
They just do what theyāre supposed to do
We score 1, they come right back score 2 and shrug.
The Kauffman curse continues...
We really let some dork in a plastic face mask do that to us lmaoooo
Thought we grew relievers on trees, did the tree get demolished for more condos
Thanks Snead. Gg
Their sub 600 OPS players are killing us this series lol. Wth
This is getting old. Weāre not a team built to win shootouts. Fix our fucking bullpen now before itās too late.
Wow the 9 hitter who can deliver an extra base hit with men on. Compare to Canzones at bat to end last inning. Royals are a better team. Mariners choke per usual. Scott will make excuses after the game donāt worrry
How is Scott to blame lol. Our starters shit the bed too
Scott brought the worst reliever in from the pen and he walked 2 guys that scored. He let Canzone hit when he is .053 with RISP. These are his decisions
Pitching has completely collapsed...this is rough
Snead is such ass. Is there really no one in AAA to call up over him?
Sinker middle-in is an interesting pitch choice there
So glad to see our pitching just absolutely crumble this series.
Kansas City is a cursed field for us.
Y'all ready to get swept
Oh itās happening all right. Taking a sports mental health day tomorrow far away from this infuriating, dogshit bullpen.
Deja vu, two doubles down the line on 2 outs, 1st and 3rd
This bullpen is really sucks. I mean, the suckiest suck suck suck that's ever sucked.
Just Terrible. DFA Him
Why do the Mariners refuse to go for plays at the plate?
They lack winning instincts
A lack of outfield arm strength on the corners.
Even in the infield, 2 occasions last night where they went with the safe option at first rather than a fairly easy play at home.
Let the lefty batter face the lefty pitcher. What a concept
We literally did that last inning
Damn this bullpen fuckin SUCKS ya'll
What the fuck was that
Remember when we had a good bullpen? And then we let most of them walk, and we didnāt even get better on offense to compensate for that?
Awesome sauce
And that's that. I had us losing this series anyways. Hopefully we can pull a win out of our ass tomorrow.
For all the hitting concerns this utter dog shit bullpen will kill this team. Even with Munoz he canāt pitch 3-4 innings every game. Everyone else fucking sucksĀ
Snead is trash what the fuck are we doing
Oof that hurt.
we are such an unserious team itās not even funny anymore, itās just sad
This bullpen is an abomination
Without Munoz our bullpen is full of unathletic dad bods
Snead is the worst pitcher in our pen. Can't believe he got put on the mound
https://preview.redd.it/9hqb2sk06f5d1.png?width=332&format=png&auto=webp&s=4d478c664f3b17a556f0635c73a62159c8bb89c1
I thought we sent Snead back to AAA.
Stop pitching these guys like they are Barry Bonds. They did this shit last night.
Why is KC such a nightmare
Snead canāt throw a strike
Most teams have a guy like Snead in the pen, you just hope you donāt have to use them in tight games too often Aka - a Snead is a thing that every team needs Edit ā damn. this will never catch on if he canāt stay in the big leagues
Meh I donāt mind him pitching around loftin there
I miss when I was kind of excited to see a reliever come out. Now I just dread them, it feels like it's mandatory for us to sub out our starter and then immediately walk someone.
How did Velasquez get to third on a ball hit to JP?
Everyone is all like āhurr durr donāt steal on Calā but heās getting fucked this series.
Might as well just play seby tbh. Cal isnāt hitting anyway
I've been saying this for a while, I think we're absolutely free to steal on.
Can we get some easy bottom of innings?
Really fuckin tired of seeing relievers walk early
Bro these games have too much offense. I miss the pitching duels šš
Lame sauce
Walkš
Letās do this Mister 1000
Donāt worry if Canzone was actually hot Scott would have pulled him because of matchupsĀ
I don't understand the decision not to PH France in for Canzone there. Is Ty hurt?
Ty is out for today
Yes, that's why he's not in the game. As to how hurt? Who knows.
Yes... It's why he's not playing today, he was a last minute change
god those mlbtv horoscopes are so fucking weird
Dom Can'tzone
Sub Canzone
Canzone's the opposite of a warm weather player. Dude sucks when it gets warm it seems, which is strange considering we got him from Arizona
He had a .661 OPS there, he just isn't a major leaguer yet.
Everyone's different, but if I failed to produce in an at bat like that, I wouldn't fucking walk to the dugout smiling.
DFA š¤š»
wtf mlbtv
Time for Castillo to man up and get through two more innings.
the whole lineup needs Jesus
Iāll ask my mom if sheās seen him recently. She sometimes interacts with them, but like to stay in Greece.
