We needed to score in the 1st, damnit.

Imagine how pissed Mariners are as a team with playoff and even WS aspirations. We were expected to win 65 games or so.

What was the Japanese saying, there are no mysterious wins but there are plenty of mysterious losses? Yea.

Kelenic thanks for a decent few weeks but your time is coming to an end soon.

I told someone here Sam would be better off diving feet first on plays like that in the OF and as he got more experience he would. He laughed at that idea. Huh. I know ball bro.

We don't even bother to hold guys on do we?

unreal. I hate the bottom of this fucking order.

Work kicking my ass today but seems like mariners are trying to piss this one away early.

One of the worst fanbases. You have this odd horrible mix of diehards that have never seen a WS (lol) that want to use the team as their emotional barometer and then bandwagon fans from last year that just want to get a picture with the Moose and a crab boat.

Brook reported that Will said x rays negative, Vargas was scheduled for an off day today anyways and he's probably available to PH. I'd probably just let him rest up. We did enough to prevent the sweep this isn't a game we need to go all out to win imo.

I'd imagine his hand swelled up pretty good over night. I think if it was something requiring a DL stint he wouldn't have played defense in the bottom of the 9th. It sounded gross AF in the stadium. Did it hit him right on the inside of the wrist and back of hand? On a side note I'm so god damn sick and tired of these "june gloom" days in the PNW. Rule of them every may and june is if the sun is out it's 72 and nice. If it's not out it's 58-62 and depressing. We're stuck in the latter. Last night it was 63 and fine at first pitch and then was 55 and a damp chill by final pitch. Chicago weather hasn't looked much better. Slow start to spring and summer.

We also don't need to swing for the fences here. We have a very solid IF already. Would you rather a 80% chance at a 4 WAR player with a 15% chance of a bust or a 25% chance at a 6 WAR player with a 35% chance of a bust, to give a hypothetical.

One of my biggest pet peavs in managing is not letting the closer get the clean inning. And I know it bothers closers too as it's outside their routine. Munoz has been poor but if the closer is the closer you let him do his thing, not "piggy back" off another reliever, like apparently the Ms are trying.

It seems like the host hasn't updated on all the DNS servers. Been awhile since I had to admin a website that's my best guess. try a public DNS like 4.2.2.1 or similar just google how to set it, AI is really good for IT answers.

Someone on Lookout Landing said "well you have to try and keep him stretched out". JFC. That is some White Sox style logic. No, you have to try and put the team in the best position to win. This half assed demotion for Castillo helped lose them one last night. Oh well, we'll take not being the dumbest guy in the room on a nightly basis.

The fans were so disgusted after the 2nd one squibbed by. I personally enjoyed it as seeing Naylor's 1000 career OPS against the Sox every time he batted was annoying.

Man that's a bad look for Dan Wilson. You let Castillo put the first two guys on, get to 50 pitches, then you bring in the "closer": in a game and series you expect to win on the way to the playoffs you totally let fan sentiment and your own feel good BS blow a game. Robin vibes 100%.

Nothing beats it. I love biking but I also really hate biking up hills here. Thanks to my dad for making me athletic as a kid so I could ride scooters in traffic as much as I do at 40 something. Also, respect to Chicago folks. You get being urban. Seattle often does it wrong.

good lord the Mariners blog has devolved into people talking about their mental health and the most upvoted reply in the post game is telling someone to take a step back. If you want to know why late aughts style blogging about baseball never really stood the test of time that's exhibit A. It's a game man. At the end of the day as a fan if your life is that tied up in a game you need to get a grip.

They needed to put Kay out of his misery in the 1st. Instead, and we all know this feeling, they let him off the hook, he found some confidence and the rest is history. I'd be furious as a mariners fan.

Will is the first manager since prime Ozzie that understands how to finesse the team and media. Thank god.

I think the thing to do is just wait until super 2 passes in two weeks or so and then you call up Montgomery and Gonzo, DFA Kelenic, option Acuna, and then Montgomery is emergency CF and Gonzo is backup SS. It will suck to call up Gonzo and have him not get many PA but f*** it if we keep on this pace we need all hands on deck for a playoff run, development will come 2nd for guys like that.

Man, been trying to drink less and been enjoying the clarity but man I'm manic AF right now. It was a good crowd tonight. I guess 28K prior to looking and official was 28.8K. The younger bros took over 4 entire sections in the RF upper deck for a couple innings before dwindling down to only a couple late. A lot of younger people in the crowd in general. I had great fans next to me, a mariners guy solo scoring the game, some older mariners fans and a few sox fans. I moved up into the standing section in the 100 level for the last 6 outs (hedge those bets, it's a school night bros), was the change of scenery that coincided with the come back and Taylor just shutting them down. They had nothing on Taylor. Demoralizing ass loss for them and a great win for us. Also, before I forget, who is the try hard dipshit looking dude that is our official "ball boy"? He's like late 20s or so and he acts like a player. I've seen him two years in a row now. Just a really odd presentation. Almost like a make a wish type gig for him. Also, Colson tonight made one of the more insane plays I've seen live. Chase couldn't turn the DP but my goodness we had no business even trying to get that lead out. Colson was 10 feet from the 3B bag falling towards 3B and somehow spun and fired a strike to 2B. I don't usually buy ballpark food outside a sausage or burger but tried the "crab shack nachos" in CF concourse tonight. Meh. Crab is a savory protein. I don't want it overly sweet. Somehow they drenched the crab salad in this sweet almost like honey sauce and I really didn't like it that much. It reminded me of a strange thai tex mex fusion I had in FLorida at some pop up a few years ago. Just doesn't work imo. 25 bucks for that s%*#, oh well, WHITE SOX WIN.

The Sox had ZERO BUSINESS winning that game and the Mariners had ZERO BUSINESS losing it. One of those games that can flip a season come October. I'll have more later, still on cloud 9. I got home from the park in 10 minutes on a $2.50 scooter ride too. Gotta love modern convenience.

We have too many automatic outs.
