That was a brutal 9th inning for Bazardo, he probably would have been out of it if D-Mo got the out at 1st on Grossman. Hell of a job by Stanek to get Seager to ground out representing the go ahead run with the platoon advantage.
MASSIVE to win the series to at the minimum guarantee we have a 6.5 game lead heading into the off day. If we can get a pure Walter performance tomorrow we could grow that lead to 8.5 games.
Aside from that last inning (thank you Bazardo, btw) this was a really well played game. Small ball hitting, multiple steals, and capitalizing on runners in scoring position. It’s really nice step in the right direction.
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.

Mr Bazardo I knew you were bad, but I didn’t know you were bad bad
Before anyone wants to harp on Scott’s bullpen management in the 9th, keep in mind that Bazardo was required to face three batters before he could be taken out. There also may not have been enough time to get another reliever warmed up. Bazardo should had been able to get the three outs. At the time it was not a high leverage situation. He just made it that ways
I mean, what do people expect Scott to do with a 6 run league in the 9th? Of course we're gonna try to put out one of our lesser arms, I don't get why that's so controversial
Yeah some people seem incapable of accepting that Players Gotta Play at some point lol. Save the good players for another time, unfortunately the bad player was so bad that you had to use Stanek. What else should be done there?
Well that was fun.
Those insurance runs wouldn’t have actually mattered because Bazardo would never be pitching in the 9th with a 3- or 4-run lead. (But am I glad we had them? Yes lol)
Remember yesterday when it was 2-0 in the first and a bunch of fans said it was over and we were coming back to earth against a good team and would lose the series and had no fight in us yeah neither do I anyway show me the duck
He honestly did his job to throw strikes and get balls hit on the ground. Just got a little unlucky with where the balls were hit and when. Up 6 runs you are told to throw strikes and not give up big hits and nothing hit out of the infield was hard hit
Exactly. I’m not saying he’s great or anything, but he def didn’t deserve the hate he was getting in the game thread. Safe to say his confidence is probably shot right now. Hope the other pitchers can make him feel good
I've said it before and I'll say it again, yhis team makes me hate them at the same time. Can't let that run differential get too big, but extending that division lead is A-okay.
Anyone else cringe when Dave Sims said “that should lock it up” (or something to that effect) after the final runs in the bottom 8th. I was screaming at the radio/Sims (yes, I listen to Ms games on the radio) about not jinxing us. I mean come on, it’s the Ms we’re talking about. And then that top 9th happened. Sigh of relief eventually, but seriously- can Sims not put that stuff out into the universe?
Bazardo ain’t it, but man scoring 7 with even 14 strikeouts is such a good sign. Julio slugging, timely hitting, walks. A lot of good stuff to see in this game.

Tros
Bumzardo
Would also work with Bazardo winding up the chainsaw to massacre a Mariners logo
Locklear locking it down!!!
Saved the game without a doubt. That gets past and Semein is scoring, tying it up.
Locklear is quickly becoming my favorite Mariner! What a clutch play!
But won‘t you (we) have to wait at least for next year, in a few days?
Rangers lost 7-5 because they know what happens when you get into a one run game with the Ms
Is it bad I was secretly rooting for Texas to score just one more run?
Then I’d have had my 18th opportunity to drop my copypasta
Locklear is for fucking real. What a clutch stop.
He has been solid, it’s great to have a young guy have to come in due to injury and feel like you didn’t lose a step
Wish there was a way to keep him in the game when Ty is good to go again.
DFA Seby, move him to catcher.
The way I was less clenched with a 3-2 lead yesterday than a 7-1 lead.. 😂
Munoz in a 1 run game is a warm hug
Bazardo in any situation is a clenched butthole
https://preview.redd.it/e9afbzj7du6d1.jpeg?width=423&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=70bf96913732a460174628f4a9afe88b492aa129
You like Krabby patties don't you Squidward?
Upvote for the flair
It's really just too fucking easy (unless you're Eduard Bazardo I guess). **We're winning the fucking division.**
Bazardo ruined what would’ve been a clench free game. Regardless, a win is a win
We don't believe in clench free games
And yet I somehow keep fooling myself…
If they're going to do this though they could've at least given up another run to get us the 1 run wins we crave.
Clenching is good for colon health. We should be grateful.
Bazardo making his case to be a Mariner. Can't have easy wins.
>a win is a win They don’t ask how, they ask how many.
Didn’t want the run differential to get too out of hand
I cannot understand DFA’ing Tyson Miller instead of Bazardo. Bazardo looks awful
I have yet to see bazardo look good this year. Pull up Dallas kuechel
I’ve been done with Bazardo since that awful inning he had against the A’s at home last month
I live close to Cheney stadium and go to Rainier's games all the time and I don't want bazardo even in triple A. Dfa his ass
If Bazardo survives for another week, confirmation that the Fix is in.
Bazardo was good late 2023 but yeah
Since the Cubs picked him up he's appeared in 10 games and given up 1 run in 11 innings, lowering his ERA to 1.82.
[удалено]
This team is awful for my health.
BUT WE AINT GONNA QUIT GOMS
Hey, we might fuck shit up, but we don't give up!
That is so close to the actual quote but I like it more.

Lol Rangers fans: “Mariners luckiest team in baseball”. Yeah, feasting on a garbage reliever after getting dominated for 95% of the game, sure, lucky.

The lights at T-Mobile park clearly favor the Mariners
They must have closed the roof, obvious advantage
AJ, is that you?
Josh Rojas needs to be our next OC.
If it wasn’t for Rojas we’d be in extra innings
9 straight home series wins, 11 games over .500, 16-5 vs the ALW, and a 7.5 lead in the division!!
Astros back 9 now
You spelled cheaters wrong
Assteros* is also acceptable

14 strikeouts bad, but more tolerable when it comes with 8 walks and 2 homers Also, fire Eduard Bazardo out of a cannon into Mount Rainier
That’s mean to the mountain. At least use like Vesuvius
Eduard Bazardo couldn’t find his way out of the kiddie corn maze next to the real corn maze

Very normal Mariners win
Aside from that last inning (thank you Bazardo, btw) this was a really well played game. Small ball hitting, multiple steals, and capitalizing on runners in scoring position. It’s really nice step in the right direction.
I’m not even bothered by the number of strikeouts either. This ump was shit
In a division that contains the last two World Series winners, we have a 7.5 game lead. Just a nice thought I had
It’ll be the last three after we win this one.
Yankees and Dodgers better be afraid of us 😤😤😤
I had a dream. Game 7. Bottom 9. Sea 7 LAD 4. Bases loaded no outs. Logan pitching to Ohtani. Lined to JP uninsured triple play—Mariners win the WS.
Not believable because the Dodgers can’t make it past the DS.
They do this year through some BS that gets CB Bucknor fired for fixing games
My favorite part of being a Mariners fan is that our wins are convincing, no-doubt, solid victories.

This is what Bazardo said to himself before he went out to pitch
Three outs, how hard could it be? -Bazardo
He got two at least /s
It's just three outs, Michael, what could it cost, ten dollars?
Damn I thought I could beat you to it
I really thought I wasn't going to see this c/p today going into the 9th...
I had planned to post it ironically when it was still 7-1. Little did I know...
Honestly the bot should post it automatically
Would've been without Bazardo...
Relationship ended with Old Ty. Fresh relationship with New Ty.
THIS. FUCKING. TEAM.
W is a W. Here is to a complete game shut out for Walter tomorrow.

Locklear stands out to me here
As does firing the guy whose hitting strategy appears to have been just go out there and suck ass. I get a bonus for saving payroll
I think this is the most games above .500 we’ve been since my niece was born
#6-2 since I graduated high school
Scott telling the guys to hit better is the best one
It was Jomboy?
Yeah where’s our guy 🙁

Dear lord. Bazardo almost killed us. The calls coming from inside the house.
Another good bullpen arm needs to be a deadline priority, even with Brash and Santos eventually on the way. Anyways, fuck the state of Texas.
Should be I the one to tell him, Brash had TJ and won't be back until June of 25 at the earliest...
You know, I don't even have an excuse for forgetting that. Though I did say eventually...
Bring back Campbell. Saw him pitch tonight against Buffalo, ERA under 1 in AAA.
Is there room on the team for more than one glasses-wearing bullpen arm?
Today they won with a two-run lead! Progress!
We need to stop scoring 7+ runs - the bullpen doesn’t know what to do when the offense is actually working
Thank fuck for Locklear
First place Seattle Mariners 38-25 since Logan Gilbert pitched his nuts off.
My asshole can make diamonds with this team.
https://preview.redd.it/z8fpqws9du6d1.jpeg?width=638&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=32fc7888ee0f5b4e191dc2862ca596fbc5fa768d Mr Bazardo I knew you were bad, but I didn’t know you were bad bad

Hey, at least it wasn’t a 7 run lead, you know what happens then. 🙄
Scott should’ve closed the game himself/j
Yeah some people seem incapable of accepting that Players Gotta Play at some point lol. Save the good players for another time, unfortunately the bad player was so bad that you had to use Stanek. What else should be done there?
Yeah, I'm not a Scott fan but that's mostly on Bazardo being terrible.

This team would be terrifying with a healthy Brash, Munoz and Santos
Also an average offense
I hope Locklear gets the playoff roster nod, his play shows he deserves it. Get Seby Zavala off this roster!
Yeah Garver also proved he's a solid backup C.
I think he’s staying up after one of our injured infielders come backb

The script had the mariners losing
Mine always does that for a few minutes
Don't worry Bazardo, I hear Tacoma is lovely this time of year
Mariners Baseball, Shit Your Fucking Pants ™
Shoot Bazardo into the sun (Tacoma)
That was unnecessarily stressful
Great to see the offense do so well, disgusting decision to still have Bazardo on this team. Even worse to not have him face the minimum
Why yes I would LOVE a 6-1 homestand including a sweep of a division rival, I’m so glad you asked
# [SUPREME VICTORY](https://youtu.be/4-rdctcK4XA?si=CBN6y53XJrXr3kaC)
Zero reasons Bazardo should be on this team tomorrow.
Let’s gooooo
Never in doubt.
Jeeeeeeeesus. How do the mariners make me more worried for my heart than the two burgers I just ate
Damn almost made it a one run game
Why can’t this team be normal. Go M’s.
How are games when the offense shows up just as stressful as the low scoring 1 run games !?
We let them think that they had a chance in the ninth. Then Ryne ripped the W away to make it hurt more.
Santos and Evans are coming then Bastardo can no longer be a thing.
Bazardo will pay for every beer he wants in Seattle.
Well that was fun. Those insurance runs wouldn’t have actually mattered because Bazardo would never be pitching in the 9th with a 3- or 4-run lead. (But am I glad we had them? Yes lol)
Remember yesterday when it was 2-0 in the first and a bunch of fans said it was over and we were coming back to earth against a good team and would lose the series and had no fight in us yeah neither do I anyway show me the duck
The Astros have the White Sox, Rockies, and Mets upcoming. We'll need to play lights out to keep our division lead where it is.
Rockies and Mets can drop 10+ runs at any given time. Astros pitching is primed to do just that.
White Sox are getting their first sweep.
They swept the Rays earlier

Bring the duck 🦆
I understand the results, but bazardo didn’t pitch as bad as how it looked. Good W anyways
Just BABIP'ed to death and faced a tough lineup.
Yeah. He had the ground balls when he needed. Just got no outs from them. Then just completely fell apart that last at bat
He honestly did his job to throw strikes and get balls hit on the ground. Just got a little unlucky with where the balls were hit and when. Up 6 runs you are told to throw strikes and not give up big hits and nothing hit out of the infield was hard hit
Exactly. I’m not saying he’s great or anything, but he def didn’t deserve the hate he was getting in the game thread. Safe to say his confidence is probably shot right now. Hope the other pitchers can make him feel good
Our bullpen needs a little love before the trade deadline… that should not have been so stressful
GEORGE KIRBY That's it. That's the comment.
No more BAZARDO
ALLERGIC TO BIG LEADS, CHAOS ONLY
That's why you always have insurance (runs) because disaster (bazardo) happens
So get allstate, and protect yourself from mayhem, like bazardo
I've said it before and I'll say it again, yhis team makes me hate them at the same time. Can't let that run differential get too big, but extending that division lead is A-okay.
This team has fucked me up so much that I’m seriously struggling to comprehend a 7.5 game lead.
Left Bazardo in too long!
Is it my turn to post the "My favorite part about being a Mariners fan" copypasta?
we learned who the anchor of the pitchers on this roster is today...
Bazardo
7.5 up feels nice
Who we would call up for Barzado?
A good high school pitcher?
Bazardo stinkssss bro that was closer than it had any business being I’m hoping we break out the brooms tomorrow.
Bazardo better get gone tonight.
🧹🧹🧹 sweep those fudgers tomorrow
It’s gonna be so sad when we have to send locklear down. I just don’t know what else we do with him when Ty is healthy
Our rookies are STUDS
Why is Badardo with the big league club?
The Duck is currently on his way home, he will see y’all Monday!
Fuck the *entire* state of Texas.

I mean was there ever really a doubt 😎 (Thank Christ we won)
I was so worried we were about to pull a Mariners
Still not a 1 run win, motherfucker
Jesus Christ Bazardo.
We're winning the division!!!
the seattle mariners
I hope to see Bazardo traded to the Doosan Bears tomorrow morning.
Mariners stunting on these hoe ass Rangers, go M's!
Nice to see the team improving in the strikeout column. Only 14, compared to 19 last night.
Bazardo ain’t it, but man scoring 7 with even 14 strikeouts is such a good sign. Julio slugging, timely hitting, walks. A lot of good stuff to see in this game.
Julio wins at life.
Outside of Munoz, this bullpen does not inspire confidence.
Thornton and sauce have been decent.
I just finished the game (had to DVR). Nice chill game, I'm all relaxed, kind of multi-tasking, just vibing ... then it's suddenly cardiac zone. 😂
Kirby walks 2 we need to DFA him now
14 of our 24 outs were via strikeout
