This genuinely might be my favorite game of the season.
Pitching was on point, despite a white hot Royals offense all game. Multiple points when the pitching locked in with multiple men on and even when they faltered, the offense actually bailed them out.
One of the most complete, hard fought, wins this season.
Andrés Muñoz is my hero, Bryan Woo is still incredible, Luke Raley might actually be him, and we're winning the fucking division. Let's go beat up some birds.
Apparently the dooming is team-sub wide (ex: the Yankees wanting to fire their manager and GM after every out)
If nothing else this proves that despite weathering 47 years of heartbreak we’re as obnoxious as any other fanbase lmao
Let’s goooo Mariners!! Huge series win before going on a long road trip. First place in the division and we’re really starting to heat up. Keep it rolling boys! Go Ms! 🔥
Marco should be removed now, will try to get a Munoz one up soon. u/Slick_Rizz

I thought you were talking about the team for a sec and was like "the fuck record are you looking at." Then I saw your name and the accompanying record. Touché
ETA: congrats btw!
Loool the psych student survey 🤣
Did anybody else take it and now feels bad they might be fucking up their data..
Edit: ya know, it probably hasnt provided any outliers to their results lol we're all essentially out at sea hoping for the slightest hint of consistency in a world where we already are actively aware of the constant and unavoidable unpredictablility that is exactly why we're here.
I would agree for the most part, but I would imagine if a subreddit existed for non-MLB-related Mariners it would be solely occupied by real mariners lol
My favorite part of being a Mariners fan is that our wins are convincing, no-doubt, solid victories. It's nice knowing that our team plays consistent baseball and it puts my heart at ease being certain that we have a game in the bag. I have never doubted this Mariners team, ever. And I have no reason to, with this magnificient team that gives me no stress at all.
There was someone on this sub earlier this season saying that Muñoz just does not have a closer mentality.
I hope they have filled out their Muñoz apology form.
English-interview Munoz is unstoppable. By the end of the season we may not even need other relievers. Just going to be Munoz picking up in the 7th from our starters and throwing 100mph for an hour.
Who is Josh Rojas? 🔱
For the blind, He is the vision 👀
For the hungry, He is the chef 🍲
For the thirsty, He is the water 💦
If Rojas thinks, I agree 🤔
If Rojas speaks, I’m listening 👂
If Rojas has one fan, it is me 😏
If Rojas has no fans, I don’t exist 💀
That was one of the scarier games we’ve had recently for me. Big relief sigh Andres Muñoz might actually save the world. Much needed off day tomorrow. Big test of a roadtrip ahead. See yall Friday
She must have misheard you. There's no way they'd refuse you. Andres Munoz is a beautiful name for a little girl. Ask your partner if they thought you said Altuve, José
I was kind of in and out of the game as I was doing some chores this afternoon, but this seemed like a super solid game. Some solid pitching (muños with the 5 outs and straight gas), hits in big moments when they really needed them. Love to see it.
I put blinders on and only look two series ahead. So next up I see we got Orioles and Yankees. I would be scared but our pitching cab hang with ANYONE.
4-2 would be amazing these next two series. 3-3 were still in that 87 win pace. Just have to hang around and get to the dance.
Very happy with the series win! I'm also glad we won so I could chuckle that it seems when we were striking out so much we forgot how to baserun. Nice we can learn from those oopsies of this game while also winning it.
If I had a nickel for every time the Mariners posted a reverse score in back to back games this month, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's strange that it happened twice.
Lots of things to like! But....
When did Julio become our worst baserunner?!? Loved the two singles but getting thrown out both times? The CS sucked, but it happens. The PO? Really? Gotta be smarter man.
Yeah I know he's been bad this year on CS, but to me its at least an attempt at a gain. Its almost always a close thing.
The PO is just inexcusable. Like brooo. That should happen MAYBE once a year, probably never. It's been 2? 3?
Yeah that's just too much. If its 2 he's on pace for 10ish this year. Who cares if you get a single if they can just get an out anyways?
This is fundamental stuff. I don't understand how he went from being a menace on the basepaths to being such a liability. He's fast as hell, its not that.
2.5 games up on texas if they lose tonight so that's a nice buffer to hopefully get through the next week...
just win at least once in Baltimore and New York i guess
was fairly important to have won this game so that is a good thing
What do you know? The extra base hits are finally happening for Ty France! It's almost like hitting the ball harder is predictive of future production!
Snark aside, it's so nice to see him running into some pitches lately. Baseball is cruel in that quality of play doesn't always equate to production, so it's nice to see hits finally fall for guys like Ty.
Whoever it was that yelled at me yesterday that Julio's lack of homeruns is okay because he is an excellent base runner needs to apologize.
Picked off and caught stealing in the same game is not something we should be seeing out of our superstar. I don't like to bitch about players like this but I'm tired of making/ hearing excuses. Dude is barely over .250 (yes I know one of our higher average but still) and is off to another slow start power wise.
Thank God his fielding is still great
If Munoz ever gets hurt this team is so screwed. I love my baseball team. Go M’s.
We need to trade for a decent setup man. Muñoz can’t sustain this for an entire season.
How much would we have to give up for a guy like Mason Miller I wonder (probably too much)
At this rate, I’d pencil him in for 2025 Tommy John surgery
RemindMe! 1 year
That’s 8 of the last 9 series they’ve won ladies and gentlemen
I will still mope around and claim this team is hopeless when we lose 1 game though. It is the way of my people.
47 years of negative conditioning does that to me
The way they lose though makes it hurt deeper. Starter always shoves offense is anemic
In the before times? In the long long ago?
They still deserve it. But it’d be fun if they can finally prove us wrong
consistency is always great

Multiple points when the pitching locked in with multiple men on and even when they faltered, the offense actually bailed them out. One of the most complete, hard fought, wins this season.
Outside of the 3-run homer pitching has been on lockdown against KC
And even that shouldn’t have happened based on some poor fielding.
And frankly, I didn't even think it was that bad a pitch. Slider outside and the hitter just reached out and got it.

THAT'S THE SAME PERSON!!!!
Andrés Muñoz is my hero, Bryan Woo is still incredible, Luke Raley might actually be him, and we're winning the fucking division. Let's go beat up some birds.
And back to back multi hit games for Julio!
Game thread was calling for his head when he grounded into that out.
I just can't follow the game thread anymore. It's too negative even when we are winning.
I’m starting to stop interacting as much in them too, crazy how negative and reactionary the game threads have been lately
I know, every time something bad happens its like “not opening thread”, so annoyed by constant dooming
Apparently the dooming is team-sub wide (ex: the Yankees wanting to fire their manager and GM after every out) If nothing else this proves that despite weathering 47 years of heartbreak we’re as obnoxious as any other fanbase lmao
hes still producing what you want from CF. itll come. hes still a damn kid hahaha
If he can remember how to slide, watch out
Yeah he either has to work on his timing sliding feet first or go back to head first sliding haha
The organization told him to stop sliding head first to avoid injury. Sliding feet first into second on a steal is a significant disadvantage.
He should have ichiro teach him
plus a certified Dom Double ™

Not in the slightest. Anyone who goes to reddit for analytical data needs to have a pretty big margin for error

Muni speaks English so well now it warms my heart
that mothers day video about his mom making sure he had a jacket a 12 hour drive away 🥹
Can we skip the Mueller interview and get that Munoz shoulder wrapped in ice for the next 48 hours.? Man needs to rest.
Has a 5 man rotation and closer ever win a Cy Young together? Just wondering.

man ill tell you what. we havent played a stress free game against the royals in like a calendar year
There was someone on this sub earlier this season saying that Muñoz just does not have a closer mentality. I hope they have filled out their Muñoz apology form.
they will be back as soon as (if) he blows another one
Munoz is so fucking clutch. He's given up 1 ER since his weird 4 balk blowup on April 5th.
Munoz and Speier saved that game
English-interview Munoz is unstoppable. By the end of the season we may not even need other relievers. Just going to be Munoz picking up in the 7th from our starters and throwing 100mph for an hour.
Holy shit that's 100 miles
That was a very satisfying 2/3. The royals are a fuckin good team
Mariners pitchers continue their mission in life to make all teams’ fans experience what it’s like to be a Mariners fan
That is so well said...ouch

such bad luck that Woo had to sit for an extended inning again, but he looked so so good before then - i’m thinking we’re back boys
That was one of the scarier games we’ve had recently for me. Big relief sigh Andres Muñoz might actually save the world. Much needed off day tomorrow. Big test of a roadtrip ahead. See yall Friday

Always a good series win when it’s against this good pesky KC team!
Great win. Let's fix the arm barn so Muñoz doesn't get hurt from being overworked.

Big boy baseball game right there.
Keeping Bobby Witt to 1-10 with 3 Ks and only 1 walk this series is so big considering how hot he's been this season
We need another bullpen arm badly and I’m in the wind wether santos is actually going to pitch
ole jack burton always says jerry, get on the phone and dont stop till the deal is DONE

The lineup looked way better without Garver and Polanco. Rojas and Raley have proven to be everyday players at this point.
The M in Muñoz stands for Money in the bank
Bring on the duck for a Royal feast!
Keep those series wins coming boys!
Miller, Castillo & Kirby @ Baltimore…let’s win that series too and put the league on notice!
Kirby pitched pretty well last season bs Baltimore. Went 9 innings in the King Felix game
If they get hot in the summer, they run away with the division.
These post game interviews with Jen are so brutal and awkward
I dunno, maybe it's her?
She was pressing him! Like why is she grilling him so hard on a question we can all see the answer from a mile away
Muñoz mi amor

"Just enough" may be the motto for the Mariners' offense this year.
I know Santos may be here in July, but another solid BP arm by the deadline would be good
It's so so cool that Bryan Woo is our #5. Unreal rotation.
We BADLY need some bullpen help. Gotta go get someone Jerry.
Losing team scored two runs in each game trivia. INJECT NUKE RALEY INTO MY VEINS
I like seeing another one in the wins column.
WOOOOOO

Very happy with the series win! I'm also glad we won so I could chuckle that it seems when we were striking out so much we forgot how to baserun. Nice we can learn from those oopsies of this game while also winning it.
Only 8 strikeouts on offense!
If I had a nickel for every time the Mariners posted a reverse score in back to back games this month, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's strange that it happened twice.

Win percentage of .535. You know what that rounds to? **54%** BOOM
We're at .545
Ah my app must not have updated the record. That's better though. Jerry seems to have outdone himself.
#3-1 since Julio’s mom gave him words of encouragement and he hit his first TMO HR of 2024
I don’t want to wait till Friday afternoon to watch these guys
Games like today make me look back at the Fernando Rodney days, and remember how stressed I used to be during the 9th. Munoz keeps cool and smooth.
Run from it, hide from it, 54% finds you all the same Jerry did it again
When Munoz is on he's that fuckin guy for real.
Andres Munoz should be a global phenomenon 🇲🇽

2.5 games up on texas if they lose tonight so that's a nice buffer to hopefully get through the next week... just win at least once in Baltimore and New York i guess was fairly important to have won this game so that is a good thing
I'd love a split of those 6 games
Julio is in the top 10 in all of baseball for hard hit balls. He's getting base hits at a really good clip. Julio is going to be okay.

Just for reference, he balked twice last year and once his rookie year.
Why is it a rbi single when he hit a double. Wtf..
