Blowers on M’s recent pitching run: ‘Never seen anything like it’​

It’s been an otherworldly stretch of pitching for the Seattle Mariners.

And a historic one, too.

By the numbers: Mariners pitching in midst of historically great stretch

The Mariners’ pitching staff has posted a 1.53 ERA over their past 17 games through Monday night, with 169 strikeouts and just 36 walks over that span. That makes them the first team in MLB history to record both a sub-1.60 ERA and 160-plus strikeouts over a 17-game stretch, according to the team’s communications department.

Seattle’s 1.53 ERA since April 10 is also the best in franchise history over a 17-game span and the best in MLB over a 17-game span since Cleveland in 2017.

ROOT Sports Mariners analyst and former MLB third baseman Mike Blowers, who played 11 seasons in the majors from 1989 to 1999, discussed the incredible run of pitching Tuesday during his appearance on Seattle Sports’ Wyman and Bob.

If the Ms can keep this up for most of the season... we'd be like the 1985 Chicago Bears. Oh wait, different sport.

Such a waste they were too cheap to add a couple legit bats the past few seasons. Profit before championships. They ruined baseball for me.

Anyway, good for those players... amazing pitching.

I want a Mariners team that consists of the 1996 offense, 2001 defense, 2014 bullpen, and 2024 starting rotation.

this team won't do s*it this year, just like the last 15 years.

I thought they were saying they'd cut down on their strikeouts? LOL!!!
