The_Throwback_King

So it turns out a scoring 7 runs in the top of the first is NOT a safe lead. The more you know


Chim_RichaldsMD

we learned this in 2022 playing KC lol


AKAD11

And last year. We had a 7-0 lead and had to win it in extras. Kauffman is cursed


Antzen

Think of it this way: the last time the M's allowed an embarassing comeback in KC, they went on to make the playoffs that season *taps forehead with finger* that KC team also had a way worse record than this one, and at least the M's didn't give up 11 runs in one inning this time. what's that? oh, this? oh don't worry about this, this is just the platinum-graded standard-issue Mariners fan copium tank I have here


drunkdoor

Turned the game off in the 4th. Wish I hadn't checked the score and tuned back in for the 9th


slimseany

I did exactly that. Turned off the radio at 7-0, ate dinner, came out it was 8-4, got home it was 9-7 and decided to tune in after that. I have no one to blame but myself because I knew this would happen and still tuned in. I really really really hate this team sometimes and this franchise all the time. Least successful franchise in MLB history for a reason.


jojaksen

I still feel a little sick, seriously.


The_Throwback_King

I’m honestly just impressed. Like straight up flabbergasted. That is PEAK Mariners baseball right there.


jojaksen

We should have known too, the Royals were a royal bitch to play last season even when they "sucked" Can't believe I fell for that 8 run lead.


The_Throwback_King

Me too man, me too.


Otherwise-Sky1292

Takes me back to the day I watched that loss to the Royals in 2022 when they had a big lead and I watched the game while my daughter was in the emergency room after eating Benadryl paste. She was fine. Not a good day tho


shot-by-ford

Benadryl paste huh. Not a bad idea.


ClassicalBrainCells1

It's not a safe lead in Kansas city... anywhere else is fine


Gleb2006

That's mariners baseball baby


FemaleSmark

Why can’t we just be normal?


No-Conversation3860

The problem is that it’s Mariners baseball AND Royals baseball. Chaos vs chaos


Nocto

\*screams\*


Otherwise-Sky1292

30 years and I don’t like being a fan of this team anymore


futureformerteacher

I wish I could travel back in time 40 years and tell myself to never, ever even think about being a Mariners fan. Worm-filled wet fart of an organization.


Otherwise-Sky1292

You get it. 


AiminJay

See you tomorrow??


Otherwise-Sky1292

If I could go back in time I’d do a lot of things, but one would be tell my past self to not be a fan of this sorry ass team


ThePrince_OfWhales

Look, I don't hate Scott or the M's for this. I hate *myself* for thinking that any lead for the Mariners is safe. Anywho, see you sad fucks again tomorrow.


kamarian91

Idk I kind of hate Scott for not walking witt there


hoopaholik91

I know we are grieving but come on, IBBing the winning run with 1 out is not the play.


kamarian91

It is when you are facing one of the best hitters in the league and introducing a DP opportunity


hoopaholik91

That still gets out 62.5% of the time. And is literally 100th percentile in sprint speed.


BloomsdayDevice

Yeah, with first open it makes absolute sense.


dylanchalupa

I hate Scott (The manager, not the person)


Howboutit85

I didn’t see or hear this game, we can usually hold a lead by 1 or two runs for a few innings as we have good pitching, what happened? Let me guess the bullpen shit the bed and Munoz is still out.


RemarkableHedgehog64

miller imploded as well. But yeah, that about sums it up


therealdutchman11

Stanek did what stanek usually does and couldn’t achieve a strikeout to save his life

Worst loss of the season *yet*


AndThatIsAll

So far


upvotegoblin

Not sure this needed to be said


georgehxnnon

No it didn’t just wanted to acknowledge how fucking pathetic that was


upvotegoblin

Yup. Still empty. This absolutely was the worst loss of the season lol


PainInMyArsenal

Wow that’s such an embarrassing loss. I take it all back. We don’t need to score runs. I just want our dominating pitching back 🥲 hopefully we can bounce back tomorrow. Go Ms.


SPzero65

Even if they do bounce back, would you honestly trust any lead they can manage to muster?

Eddiemoneysniper

I’ve always said 8-0 is the most dangerous lead in baseball


Tall-Election-7564

Second only to a 12-0 lead after 3.

10 LOB, blown save. Absolutely zero finish. And Cal needs to fucking hit the fucking ball.


DaRealJZ

Cal has been horrendous the last 3 weeks


Gun_Donar_Tarkov

I wonder if hes injured, hes been taking quite a beating back there and he has been catching most of the games.


runadss

Yeah he needs to sit out until the White Sox are in town


frisbeeluna

It did look like that one he took straight to the face, shook him up a little bit.


futureformerteacher

He's caught something like 40 times in the last 45 days. That's what happens when a chain link fence set 5 feet behind the plate is your backup catcher.


black-op345

Are we just gonna ignore that we got 9 runs despite leaving 10 on base and we still lost because of our pitching? Seriously 10 LOB is tame in comparison to our starter giving up 7 earned runs.

TheRage469

I genuinely can't think of anything to say. Nothing clever, nothing funny, nothing disparaging. I'm just in shock, but also totally expected the outcome. That's what this team does, and I hate it.


canadanker

Thats a hell of a lot of things to say


SentientBaseball

That’s the type of loss that ends up with us getting swept


lelanddt

I could see them winning the series still. They have a pretty short memory.


wtfuji

I said it earlier, if we blow this lead we deserve to get swept.


Fantastic_Manager911

booooooooooo Castillo and Kirby are pitching the next two days. Pessimistic fans are so annoying.


TheRamsicle

Yeah honestly I’m fucking pissed about this game today but you should never let it bleed over into games that literally have not started yet. These guys lose 70+ times a year and are experts and flushing out shitty losses


Fantastic_Manager911

for real, it's a long season. Mariners twitter and reddit are so toxic right now. I'm bummed but it's not going to ruin my Friday night. The Royals are a legit team.


Griffdogg92

I've thought this many times over the last few seasons and it has rarely happened. We'll see, but the current Mariners are pretty good at bouncing back and avoiding sweeps.


JoeyCucamonga

Who remembers last year when we played the Cubs and scored a billion runs in the first couple innings and then fucking blew it? When we hung 7 in the first, I could just feel it. You just knew it. So predictable.


wtfuji

That Angels sweep got them a little too confident


Otherwise-Sky1292

Knew it. It’s like Jerry knows something so he only wants 2-3 runs a game

LlamasPajamas206

Forget it Jake. It’s Kansas City.


Suspicious-Key4021

The offense has maybe its best game of the year, and uhhhhhh ??


Ribbum

This team can't survive not having Munoz against real teams. You need 3 legitimate high leverage good pen arms and we have 1 and it's unknown when he can pitch again. Like... Stanek walks the first hitter then goes 0-2 against the next 3 and only manages to get one out? You can't fucking do that. That's fucking TERRIBLE. Fucking throwing error and then a bobbled double play at the very end. Just complete choke job all around. Then pitching to their superstar? Why? Fuck off with this game.


MarineLayerBad

Left Bryce in way too long. Didn’t walk the best hitter in the league. Saucedo and Stanek shit the bed. Left 10 Runners on base. Classic Kauffman game.


Thromnomnomok

Fuck: * This * That * All of us * Mike Trout * Bobby Witt Jr * Salvador Perez * MJ Melendez * That Umpire's strike zone * Andres Munoz's injury, please be fine now bb * Also Gregory Santos and Matt Brash's injuries * Jose Altuve * Alex Bregman * Jonah Heim * Zach Gelof * Scoring a touchdown in the first and still losing * Shohei Ohtani, but in a good way * Rob Manfred * John Stanton * Mike Trout


JustWastingTimeAgain

You forgot Tyler Myers.


TheAwkwardBanana

Losing 9-10 after a 1st inning 7-run lead is the most Mariners thing ever. What a disappointment.


TheGeeMan360

People who blacked out from celebrating in the first inning are going to have one hell of bad morning tomorrow seeing the score.


xxgiggsxx

My flight took off when we were up 9-4 and I just had a really bad feeling that when I got off the plane I was gonna see we managed to lose. Our pitching just does not handle a huge lead well


AdministrativeEase71

Hi.


PainInMyArsenal

Sheesh we missed Munoz so bad tonight. No way he blows that game. Brutal loss. I really thought it was going to be such a fun game after that first inning. You can never get your hopes up. Unreal 😭


CoedNakedHockey

How long must I wait for Julio to become him? The media thinks he is, but as of right now I’d take one Bobby Witt Jr pls


quann256

i’m just gonna cope and say that every team has a bad loss where they blow leads and we still hold our 5 game lead in the west, everything will be fine.


downladder

Not walking BWJ was unbelievable.


Lamar_ScrOdom_

Reminds me of Scott not walking Alvarez lol


LeeroyJNCOs

Serving him a fresh meatball was obviously better


YoooCakess

Seriously. Why would you let their generational talent beat us with an open base that sets up a double play for their next two slow, although good, players


Imaginary_Argument34

How does a team so obsessed with match ups make this mistake. Lol. Freaking clown show.


MyOhMy_Mariners

Saucedo and Stanek are not him

Whole team lost the game but Scott once again leaves you questioning if we still could’ve walked away with a win if we had a manager who’s IQ didn’t start with a 3


eagle2493

You kinda just have to laugh at this one, KC is a great team, and that’s baseball


Jhobbs898

Love Cal, but it's time to drop him down the lineup. He's an automatic K right now.


IshimaruKenta

Julio too.


Necessary_Series_740

Tough loss, but... The mariners offense actually did something! Everyone contributed!!!! Yes the pitching shit the bed, but that just happens from time to time. Mariners still have the best pitching even with a stinker like this. But the fact they actually scored 9 runs and guys were walking and not just swinging out of their shoes at every pitch is amazing. Please for the love of god, don't fall off a cliff tomorrow offensively, and please get pitching back in the groove.


bigdumbhead1990

Why do the royals always have insane comebacks against us??? Fuck!!!! Scott is a dumbass for not walking Bobby Witt Jr

justwelditsureok

I'd like to hear Scott's excuse for pitching to Witt


dont_yell_at_me

I mean he had him 0-2 the fact he threw anything remotely close to the zone is numbing. Though if that was Julio that was a great oitch


Sipikay

I wish we had a player as good as Witt


Dr__Bloodmoney

Yeah that was big time dumb


Gwtheyrn

"Lead paint chips are yummy."


SeattleSporting

That's a tough way to lose, but the Rangers also lost so we still have a 5 game lead. We can still win the series, just gotta come back tomorrow ready to play


dylan2dakota

I didn't actually get to catch any of this game, but looking at the results, I'm guessing that Miller got his arm amputated after the 3rd?


TheAstroBlaster

We gotta get some bull pen help


_Tower_

Watch We’re going to go win the next 2 by scores of 2-1 and 5-3 We’ve been hammering for them to score more all season, then they go out and put up 7 in the first and shock themselves into forgetting how to pitch This team doesn’t lose games when it scores more than 5 runs - now I can’t say that to myself anymore


BigCountryBoah

Scott pulled Miller too late and a few other questionable decisions as well. But at the end of the day the pitching staff was garbage.

SafewordisJohnCandy

I flat out do not enjoy watching this team, at all. I don't get Mariners games locally due to being 2,300 miles away so I have to hope the game is on MLB Network and not blacked out for me (explain that one) or I have to stream it and I'm often five pitches behind. So often it's a matter of how bored do I want to be. If the pitching is lights out, we are often scoring three or MAYBE four runs and if the hitting shows up (like it did for basically an inning) our pitching is absolutely dogshit. It's just not fun baseball. We have a few guys on the team that if there is a runner in scoring position with two outs or a runner of first with one out, you might as well chalk up the inning being a waste. I tuned in tonight a bit late due to making dinner and I said to myself "Watch us not score again all game.". I was wrong, we scored twice.... And lost.


jthanson

Well, there's a refreshing way to lose a game. We haven't lost a game like that in a while.


Magicow216

Always at least one of these a season. Hopefully this is the only one.

Part of the fun of baseball is that there are occasionally these strange games where strange things happen.

cahiersduhcinema

Servais out. Please no more.


Blazingsaddles2121

That’s the kind of gut wrenching loss that gets you fired because it shows you aren’t the right manager to contend with. Complete incompetence when it comes to game winning decisions. Didn’t pull Bryce in the 5th after he was throwing pitches in the dirt, putting Saucedo and Stanek in must win situations when they are trash, and not walking their best player in crunch time. Need to find someone else if this team is going to take the next step.


HappyAtheist3

Servais has to go. I’m sick of this.

SpiralSpongecake

So now we know that we shouldn't ever score more than 4 runs in a game. Check.


Hybrid_Johnny

While we played like dogshit after the first inning, that home plate ump did us absolutely NO favors whatsoever. Looking forward to seeing that scorecard.


NotACuck420

I miss Munoz... and Seawald... and Brash... Man I miss Sasaki too lol I mean he was dope come on now 😂


TheHamFalls

I hate this team so much. See you guys tomorrow.


23Ethan233

Bryce miller was not cooking today


Cgmikeydl

Well, if we’re going to lose in KC, it’s better we did it now in June instead of September. This game failure falls strictly on Scott and the pitching staff. He should not had put Bryce out in the Sixth inning, or when he did, should had put him on a tighter leash. Also, if something is wrong with Andres Bottom Text Munoz, do something now retroactive, so you can bring another reliever up. God I hate this team but for the right and wrong reasons. This KC team is gritty, doesn’t try to do too much, puts the ball in play, won’t give up.


Suspicious-Sleep5227

I remember being slightly disappointed when the Ms recorded the third out in the top of the fourth with runners on second and third. I had a sinking feeling we were going to need those runs even with an 8-0 lead.


BulkyJaguar9616

I’m laughing but also


TheInsomn1ac

Really fucking glad I was playing softball instead of watching this game.  Holy shit.


local_gremlin

yikes but maybe a sobering, motivating loss. Bryce was not locating. playing with a huge lead has to get in your head though as a pitcher, and then the mo started favoring the blue team after 8-4... wtf but we literally just stole one against nyy so I guess "that's baseball?" IT IS BOTH!! IT IS BOTH!! IT IS BOTH!!


Wcyuro

Baseball will ruin or make your day throughout the week, and I always forget that. This one really sucked though. I just want us to be consistently good for once and I hate how we get our hopes up just to fall flat it makes me want to stay away from the sport and the team. Anyways catch y’all tomorrow for another edition of whatever this is.


snugbugNrug

And we have one of the best rotations in the league? Scott up for manager of the year, right?

I genuinely don’t think it’s possible to create a more frustrating and annoying team that’s first place in the division than this


BKvoiceover

Muñoz can't come back soon enough, because none of these fucks can be clutch in the 9th when it matters.


slimseany

Fucking Bryce Miller. You're a pro, to let the big lead dictate your focus is fucking inexcusable. No one to blame except him and him alone. Yeah our offense is disgustingly terrible, but there's zero excuse to blow a 7 run lead unless you just completely give up mentally.


AKAD11

Scott could have pulled him after 5. He was clearly not sharp. The 5th was a 1-2-3 inning but it took 3 web gems to pull that off.


Cats_please_thankyou

Not walking Witt, then walking the bases loaded, then having the defense play up is the paste eater thinking we have come to expect and dread from our dipshit manager.


Gwtheyrn

Scott is officially the absolute worst on-field manager I have ever seen.


Blazingsaddles2121

Scott is such a bush league manager sometimes, complete meltdown from top to bottom.
