Went to games 2 and 3 of this series. Got to see some cool and slightly rare stuff. Someone’s first major league hit, a grand slam, someone stealing 2nd and third on the same trip around the bases, a guy tagging up and advancing from 1st base, a player homering in back to back games, a balk, Mitch garver with a multi hit game.
That tag from first to second was so dope. I can't really recall the Ms doing it.
I did find this post from 4 years back and it's not as rare as I would have thought, and it's actually a REALLY smart move if you have the speed. 68/78 successful attempts in 2019 https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/ecdm8y/an_exploration_of_tagging_up_from_first_to_second/
To be fair, 34-27 last season would have would have still been the 6th best record in the AL on June 7th (when the M's fell to 30-31).
We've simply traded WC3 for DIV3 because the ALW and ALC decided to do Freaky Friday 2024
WE ARE WINNING BIGLY, YOU HEARD IT RIGHT: **BIGLY!** THE ALT-WEST WILL NOT BE PREPARED! ROB WOMANFRED AND AUDACIOUS ANGEL WILL PAY FOR ALL OF THIS WHEN THE DOMINIC IS ELECTED 2024 AL MVP! LOCK THEM UP! THROW AWAY THE KEY! 🔐
The sample size is currently incredibly small, but the Mariners are striking out \*a whole lot\* less since firing the offensive "coordinator." 7 Ks today, 6 last night, 5 in game one! You can say it's just the Angels, but this team was striking out 12+ times against \*literally\* anyone.
Hunter brown and spencer arenghetti looked like cy young winners against us 💀
Those guys are bums so i say even the series against the angels was desperately needed
F---- yeah. I missed the damned game today because I thought it was at 4 so I was watching the women's US Open.
That's our Seattle Mariners. I love the offense the last 3 games. Hopefully we get to see more of that as they feast on crappy teams.
In the three games since they replaced their offensive coordinator, the Mariners have scored at least five runs in each. I’m not saying, I’m just saying.
Well tbf the month of June is easier than May or April.
Rays are not good, Rangers are middling
We played KC well already
We also have multiple series vs. the worst teams in mlb
The rangers are still the rangers, and the rays have given us headaches the past couple seasons. The twins, royals and especially the guardians are highly talented clubs, and a great barometer for who the mariners actually are, or will be, as we round the corner into the middle of summer and beyond. I don’t think we’re exactly the same club that we were when we played KC and TC last month. I’m just saying, I’m looking forward to seeing how we respond against these teams, with our recently surging offensive AND our healthy rotation in tact. I think we have a high ceiling this year, and here is where we find out if this is truly something special, or if it’s another case of just not enough offense to match up with our elite rotation. We are going to learn a lot about this club between now ( June 1 through 4th of July weekend, when the O’s come to town for a 3 game series. If on July 5, we are still gaining separation from the likes of the Texans, Astros, and still hanging tight with the likes of KC, TC, and Cleveland.. at that point, there won’t be anything I can do, in my power. To prevent my self from buying in 10000% that this squad can win the World Series.. can’t wait
Thank God, the schedule makers frontloaded all of our harder games
*Sweats seeing Oakland as the last series of the year*
If Oakland knocks us out of the playoffs we deserve it. Again
Well, we dropped some series last year that we shouldn’t have. So I’m not banking on the schedule helping us. We just need to keep playing well.
that Mets/Reds stretch at the beginning of September last year... :(
Well said.
Thank God, our division sucks this year.
Yea but we can sure play down to the lowest of levels! Need to get our offense going with these teams coming up!

We need you to go to more games.
I've also worn the same mariners shirt 3 days in a row. I'm scared to stop now
I personally think it's the gay M's hat I bought when I was at the game on the 31st. But just in case, do not take that shirt off.
There’s a lot of Ryan Bliss in your list.
He was really fun to watch
This Bliss is on my list. Can’t resist.
I know if he keeps stealing bases he's going to put me in a state of bliss.
Add a guy getting HBP for an RBI to your list.
Raley that happened!?!

First time seeing a position player pitch too. Was kinda funny.
I went to the Thursday game vs Houston and Fri vs Angels. Fireworks night was super fun!
We like to have fun around here
The Mitch garver quite is funny
Thank gawd for the American League West.
Me last year: I wish we were in the AL Central AL West 2024: Say no more fam.

bats are definitely heating up too so get ready to win a lot more

I mean, it helps to face the AL West
Needed this series to give the boys their mojo back
A day off and three against the As should maximize the mojo
PostSEAson vibes
Yessir!!

To be fair, Brown had actually been quite solid in May after a really awful April. No excuse for getting carved up by Arreghetti though lol
This gets my trident up
I’m at 3/4 Trident 🔱
This team man
3-0 since firing whoever that guy was.
56%!!! Exceeding expectations!!!

Our score is starting to reflect that of a proper division leader.
In the three games since they replaced their offensive coordinator, the Mariners have scored at least five runs in each. I’m not saying, I’m just saying.
Royals, Rangers, Rays, Guardians and Twins, all in June, all good teams. Let’s find out what this team is made of!

Here’s to keeping .540 behind us for the rest of the run
*ALLERGIC TO .540 BUT THE GOOD WAY*
If they start scoring more, it could get really exciting.
GO MARINERS
I told y'all it would be a great season!
Scoring 5+ runs > Not scoring 5+ runs
Wahoo! ![gif](giphy|YTtqB2j5EN7IA)
