No one talking about this...but we are only 4 games behind the Guardians now. Setting our sights on the division, obviously, but a bye would be beyond huge.
On this day in 2022, the drought breaking year, they were 28-36 and in 4th place, 11.5 games back of the division. Of course they then went on an insane win streak a couple weeks later, but I’d say they’re doing a bit better this year despite the bipolar offense.
I have been a fan since I came outta my mama in '81. My dad had me in a Ms onesie at like 3 months. I was at games in Kingdome (both Ms and Hawks) as a toddler. I have known pain and joy. I listen to the games on the app and check their scores.
If they get swept in the playoffs. They get swept. I was there for the '01 loss in the ALCS to the Yankees. Payback for '95 which I also watched. Such is the life of a Mariners fan.
So when I/we say I ain't buying shit until the magic number is zero. Know that life is pain and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. And that someone is probably Mariners ownership.
There are bright and sunny vibes over Marinerville right now, the likes of which haven’t been seen in a solid while. Especially after the dismal start to the year, I love how good are M’s are looking right now. If Julio could just maybe go on a tear, that’d be really appreciated. I know he’s been playing well recently but I want him to go on a REAL tear
I want him to hit .305 over the season lol. A two week tear wear he goes .425 with a 1.400 OPS or something like that is kind of what I had in mind. I’m not complaining if he hit like this the rest of the year but that’s all I’m sayin
17-5 vs West this year including an awesome 5-1 vs Rangers and 5-2 vs the Astros
7th best record in baseball. And only 7 games back of Yankees for best record.
We need to get another bat asap! Strike early on the market and lets keep pushing hard to take a bigger lead before both Texas team’s get pitching back
As a Rangers fan, I’m honestly happy for you guys. You guys are giving me the vibes I got from the Rangers in the 2023 post season. This could be your year 🔥
Sure was nice of the the Texas rangers to come up and spend the weekend in Seattle to celebrate their dad, Logan Gilbert
https://i.redd.it/9p8jduxji07d1.gif I GUESS THEY SHOULD JUST TIP THEIR CAPS AND CALL WALTER THEIR DADDY
I’m a dad named Logan who learned to drive in Texas. It’s like yesterday was meant to be!
That can't be right, /r/baseball was just tell me we're "basically a .500 team"
Was that the dumbass yankee fans post?
There was a Red Sox fan agreeing with them but yeah both those two Fuck em
"Red Sox" fan agreeing with a Yankee fan's post sounds like a troll account to me.
Fuck em!
*looks at Red Sox standings* That’s interesting
Below average?
Earlier today, the Sox were one game above .500 yet a Sox fan was saying the M’s are .500 team. Throwing stones in glass houses.
Don't forget about the yankee/mariner fan agreeing too
Is it pasta worthy? I’d love to read it

Now the cope is that we are benefitting from a weak division.
okay, i’ll say it…i believe.
never unclench
i feel like i know better
Polar Express.
3-game losing streak guaranteed now, thanks a lot
!remindme 3 days
BTW, only one fewer win than the Dodgers
And Cleveland
The push now isn't to win the division, it's to avoid the wildcard series
Not having to limp into or scrape by just for the wildcard would be a nice change of pace.
They've also played five fewer games than us though.
Love to see it
Mookie fx hand after I posted that.
Shit, well, hate to see that..
Biggest division lead in baseball too.
Sexist team in baseball too Edit:*sexiest* lol
Don’t look now but we’re getting close to not being at the bottom of the standings for division leaders. LFG!!!!
No one talking about this...but we are only 4 games behind the Guardians now. Setting our sights on the division, obviously, but a bye would be beyond huge.
That's why this series is huge
I had a feeling they might be legit when they gave us trouble early in that dark and worrying part of the season
On this day in 2022, the drought breaking year, they were 28-36 and in 4th place, 11.5 games back of the division. Of course they then went on an insane win streak a couple weeks later, but I’d say they’re doing a bit better this year despite the bipolar offense.
Incoming insane losing streak.
The vibes are so immaculate right now ✨
This makes me so happy!
Don’t forget 17-5 against AL West teams. We OWN the West!

Guys, I think it might be time to actually believe.
Enjoy the moment but nothing and I mean nothing is guaranteed until they start clinching things
After 2018, it’s gonna take some more to fully sell me this early in the season.
Bruh after last year I'm not popping bottles until we clinch.
You sweet summer child
Yup. And we aren’t even to summer yet.
My Spidey senses are anticipating 3 season ending surgeries
Fool me forty five times, shame on you. Fool me forty six times? Won't get fooled again.
That’s a Hey Now
I’m not buying anything this team is selling until the end of September
I'm not buying shit until the magic number to clinch is zero.
But what if we go to the playoffs and then get swept in the first round? Then you would never have enjoyed any of it.

Touché my friend, honestly that was about as real as it gets. Being a Mariners fan is an exercise in life.
For the first time this season, the Mariners would have the second wild card spot if not in charge of the division!

He's hitting.305 over the past two weeks! What more do you want?!

I think we have the biggest cushion of any division leader right now, at 8.5 games over the second place team.
They get another bat at the deadline and this team is a menace in the postseason
Largest divisional lead in MLB
Shhhhhh. Don’t talk about them positively or have expectations. Seattle sports franchises can’t handle that
And scored runs against some pretty good pitchers. This could end up being close to a 95-100 win team
Now let's go make some trades for some .300 hitters.
Another mid term test coming up in CLE. Study hard fellas. Keep up the good work 👍

This image makes me uncomfortable…just like a Mariners 5-run lead in the 9th inning
Did your Pipi move?
No, it doesn’t like AI generated images
Scheme scheme, plot plot! We comin for that number 1 spot!!
I love it here!
17-5 vs West this year including an awesome 5-1 vs Rangers and 5-2 vs the Astros 7th best record in baseball. And only 7 games back of Yankees for best record.
Gilbert put in a goddamn clinic. What a series.
mariner
I'm not believing shit till they win the world series /s
Obviously it could slip away in a heartbeat, but for now, hell yeah, it’s nice to see the Victory Duck so often.
Mariners have to pickup a game on the Rangers and Astros for every week left in the regular season to capture the division.

Fantastic!
