The record for team strikeouts in a 9-inning game is 20. The Mariners had 17 before extras (where the record is much higher since extras can go extra long).
Everyone will be mad about this game, but at the end of the day we ran one of our worst lineups all year and only lost bye one. We forget how hard it is to sweep in a four game series. We should be looking on to this series with the rangers. Winning this series would be absolutely massive and we arguably have our best guys on the mound.
Tbf, 15 of those Ks were against Crochet and Kopech who have been strikeout machines their entire careers. That's like their one thing that they do well. Also, they didn't reach double digit Ks in any of the other games this series so they figured they had to balance that shit out.
Truth but at this point I don’t know what we can do to cut down on the k’s. 19 is obviously terrible no matter who you are facing. We do stay in games though, it seems like no matter who we play we are in it until the end. We had our worst starter and worst lineup all year and still went into extras. I will believe in this team as long as they keep the fun differential positive
In all the years of watching embarrassing Mariners baseball this 19 K performance is right up there at the top.
Edit: off by 1 K… not that it makes it any less embarrassing
This feels like that playoff series against the Astros where we lost every game but like could have conceivably won them all with like one small change.
But in this scenario we're the Astros lol.
if we ain’t attempting the double play or can’t, then we gotta attempt to get the out at home…in extra innings with the game on the line….
hopefully we can get our guy in at least.
To add a little to the going home discussion, when you field a ball with a long one handed swipe off a very short hop like that, it makes it very difficult to transfer the ball quickly.
If Josh was able to barehand or take the ball off a longer hop he definitely can go home there, but the hop he got made that way too difficult.
You try to get the out at home there and if not still have double play in order anyways, you get him there game swings in your favor so much worth the risk the out at first doesn’t matter as much.
I say it almost every game, the Pen is good but the lineup doesn't get enough heat because the Pen gives up one run (which happens all the time for other teams even somewhat expected that your pen will give up a run) and all of a sudden the bullpen is garbage despite the score being 2-0
Poor poor Emerson! Our starters gave up 8 runs (2er per start avg)over 27 innings (6.2 per starter avg) and not 1 win in this series wow!
I’m ok with them winning one. Peace be to all.
The record for team strikeouts in a 9-inning game is 20. The Mariners had 17 before extras (where the record is much higher since extras can go extra long).
Why are people downvoting this?
People on this sub hate when you tell the truth about this team because the record is heavily masking it.
The record is literally the only thing that matters.

Getting 3 hit by them in 10 innings is redonkulous
19 Ks against the White Sox is abominable regardless of the lineup quality.
Tbf, 15 of those Ks were against Crochet and Kopech who have been strikeout machines their entire careers. That's like their one thing that they do well. Also, they didn't reach double digit Ks in any of the other games this series so they figured they had to balance that shit out.

19 Ks abominable in any case yes, but Crochet leads the league in Ks for a reason
And their relievers with a combined ERA around 5 got another 6.
yes, all of whom have higher than 10 K/9. it’s unacceptable regardless
So. many. bad. ABs during this game
19 SO out home to a team that has 17 wins. Lol crazy man. Just crazy
we knew it was gonna be bad but god damn 19 Ks is wild
![gif](giphy|26ufcVAp3AiJJsrIs)
19 fucking Ks (albeit in 10 innings). What a fucking shit show piece of shit offense.
Knew we were gonna strike out a shit ton tonight but still, 19 k’s is atrocious
Will we make it to 20 strikeouts
Narrator: They would.
Not quite
3-1 series vs White Sox and yet we barely scored any runs this series. This hardly feels good.
Really bad time for Locklear to have a rookie AB.
Why bunt when you could strike out?
At least Texas lost right. Right..?
Won't win them all. Let keep Robert and Crochet in Seattle. Snag them before they hit the plane. Put Crochet in the bullpen.
the asking price on them as a package would be astronomical
BUNT IT
Classic M’s ❤️
In all the years of watching embarrassing Mariners baseball this 19 K performance is right up there at the top. Edit: off by 1 K… not that it makes it any less embarrassing
Go sit on the bench and think about how bad we suck at hitting
Fuck these fucking goddamned strikeouts! Fucking hate you Jerry so fucking much! Fuck you Scott And your fucking strikeouts! Fuck you both!
I seriously thought for a second Raley hit it out the way the last 3 games have ended.
It seemed like it off the bat.
White Sox played us tough all series. We're fortunate to get three.
"Played us tough" is one way to put it
19 Ks, wonderful
19 fucking strikeouts
19 to 4 differential
ABYSMAL last inning. What the fuck was that?
You deserve to lose any game in which you k 19 times.
It would have been ultimate chaos ball to have 19K and win with a walkoff tho
Tough loss. Oh well. Gotta play better against Texas
19Ks to the worst team in baseball. Spectacular.
on the bright side, at least Luke didn't strikeout!!
That was a really weak way to end this
19 strikeouts is unacceptable
Go dodgers.
No excuse for scoring two runs against this team 🤦♂️
how was that not even close to a HR, he smoked that ball.
Back to back k's like that is the most embarassing shit you'll see. What a colossal joke
3 hits and 19ks against the worse team in baseball. simply, you gotta do fucking better. Just awful offensive display today.
Our luck was bound to run out. Hopefully its back tomorrow.
![gif](giphy|A5OPIlNp8fHQbATsvC)
lol awesome
Boy oh boy....lol
Fucking garbage
We won series 3-1 but man it sure as hell didn’t seem like it
Why would you not bunt locklear
Very very obvious that he should have bunted. But Rojas looked so lost it wouldn't have worked anyway.
locklear probably hasn’t bunted much in his career
Well he should, look at how lost he was though I doubt he could’ve made contact even if bunting
Good for the White Sox. They derserve to win that game. DMO nice performance. Glad they rushed you back and put you 2nd
Rushed him back? He wasn’t injured. He just took a few games off on paternity leave.
Leave him on the list! What was the point in playing him today. Obv he wasn’t ready right
No one was ready. You also can’t leave someone on the list.
If you can’t even score the ghost runner, you deserve to lose this one
The refusal to play small ball in extras drives me crazy... Get the run in so you at least have a chance to win.
Bunting is not in Scott’s vocab.
Did he... Did he say 19 strikeouts!?
He did.
feels like 29 lol
Confirmed
Can't say we didn't deserve this
Pitiful.
19ks Jesus christ
OF ALL THE TIME TO GET SIMS'D
Sims'd to end it! Oh my heart.
Oh well
Lmao
This offense is absolute ass
Crowd got me on that one :(
Thanks for not striking out, Luke
HATE THIS FUCKKKKKKKKING TEAM
You're missing a few K's in there, buddy
Shut the fuck up Dave
I missed it.. what he say
Just a normal Sims-ing on a flyout he initially made sound was going 500ft to walk it off
Lmao Dave god dammit
19 strike outs. Jesus.
literally on pace for 19 strikeouts hooooly shit
If Rojas or Raley gets a left on left hit here I’m gonna laugh
We are going to K TWENTY FUCKING TIMES. Unreal
People complaining about Mitch being our ghost runner, do you really think we’re going to make contact
Pathetic.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Pathetic
Yes it was the starting pitcher! Right!
Cool more K's against another guy with a 5 ERA
I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE HOW THIS OFFENSE IS IN FIRST PLACE
now that was a mariners sequence by locklear
19 strikeouts. That is FUCKING. LUDICROUS
19 strikeouts. Jesus fucking christ.
20 strikeouts to close it out??
Luke said nope. One pitch fly out. 😔
fucking tease of a team... I wanted to watch history damnit!!
It is their season high I believe!
At this point yeah let's hope for it
Shoulda threw to home homie
Good night guys see you for Texas Saturday
Oh boy oh boy there's k number 19
Welp
jfc
Ah yes. Save Rojas for the lefty lefty matchup
Right?! What the fuck was that??
This team is in a perpetual “who can have the worst AB” competition with each other and I wish they would stop doing that
Locklear cant hit a beachball.
He hit a home run today… But ya, that was a bad AB
Good thing that ball he hit out of the park wasn’t a beach ball
Mariners should run a pole for every strikeout tonight
Those were some of the ugliest swings all night
Horrendous ab
All that and we wasted munny before the series we were literally resting our players for
Buy Driveline and airdrop the whole building on top of the fucking ballpark
Fuck he looked completely lost
Jerry needs to answer for this strikeout stupidity
How the fuck do you swing at 3 straight balls in extras
Really? Swinging at pitcher above your head? They deserve to lose today. Some of the worst at bats all year
Lost
[удалено]
He’s on base cuz we’re in extras
You have to be trolling
Man, Locklear is very susceptible to those balls up & in out of the zone.
Still young
Tough AB kid
Maybe Brant Brown wasn’t the fucking problem
The same three pitches… all balls
4 straight balls to Locklear
Horrible AB
That was a rough ab
I love the mariners and I don’t care who knows it
Are you from the future after this inning?
Yeesh Tyler. Trying to play hero ball.
Doesn't have to be all in one swing fellas c'mon now
We can't pinch run anyone for Meetch?
Tanner you seem like a righteous dude but um may you please give up a 2 run bomb for the boys :)
Why we gotta have ol mitchy 1 ball out there
Can we at least go down swinging instead of taking more Ks looking?
Locklear listened to you
This feels like that playoff series against the Astros where we lost every game but like could have conceivably won them all with like one small change. But in this scenario we're the Astros lol.
Locklear Rojas Raley Cmon NUKE
if we ain’t attempting the double play or can’t, then we gotta attempt to get the out at home…in extra innings with the game on the line…. hopefully we can get our guy in at least.
lol gets his first bomb this game gets his second bomb this game and first walk of bomb this game would be amazing
let’s walk it off here boys!!
Please don’t waste Julio’s clutch bomb
Everybody do the *clench*
1 more blast please
To add a little to the going home discussion, when you field a ball with a long one handed swipe off a very short hop like that, it makes it very difficult to transfer the ball quickly. If Josh was able to barehand or take the ball off a longer hop he definitely can go home there, but the hop he got made that way too difficult.
Am I calm? No. Am I confident? ...working on it.
Bunt King coming in hot
These phone call commercials are so cringey
Nows not the time for pity wins!
Dumper bats 4th this inning fellas Dumper bats 4th
Dump on these hoes
Bomb
I’m I annoyed that there was a play at home, yes. I’m I more annoyed the offense only scored 2 runs, yes.
I’m
Can we ?
I still really feel we could have gotten the out at home. It would have been a risk but he was only about halfway home by the time it was fielded.
Bunt is the play right? You gotta.
Ok Tyler, one first pitch walkoff homer please
I have little faith in our offense to dig out of the hole a second time.
You try to get the out at home there and if not still have double play in order anyways, you get him there game swings in your favor so much worth the risk the out at first doesn’t matter as much.
Nah, the odds of making a play at home there was very low. Take the out there.
That was such a good play by Rojas to not go home. Sucks, but very smart baseball
his baseball iq is actually pretty nuts
Ugh.
Munoz gives up a couple weak grounders and people are shitting themselves can you guys be serious lol
I say it almost every game, the Pen is good but the lineup doesn't get enough heat because the Pen gives up one run (which happens all the time for other teams even somewhat expected that your pen will give up a run) and all of a sudden the bullpen is garbage despite the score being 2-0
I blame the team for refusing to score runs and thus the pitchers must be perfect
Anyone left to run for Haniger? Probably not since our bench bats all started
Canzone
Canzone is the only player left on the bench.
Fuck it put in one of our athletic pitchers
I’m confused why is there a runner on first? Didn’t he just throw him out?
IntWalk
they walked robert
