buh bye 1st place. Astros are winning this division. I see the M's in 3rd at the end of the year and no where near sniffing a playoff spot.

Collapse in fast motion. Wow! I'm getting that sinking feeling that we won't be in first place for much longer. I think most of us had that gnawing feeling in the back of our minds that if the Stros or even Rangers could get hot, our house of cards might crumble as in a stiff wind.

We needed help at the plate long before this fool's gold of a lead we obtained. Any desperate move now would seem just that, a desperate move.

Does anybody really think our bats will come alive in some sort of consistent and infectious manner? I was actually holding onto the hope it would when we pulled ahead of the pack in May and into June. But it just hasn't come. Maybe it will. Who knows? But boy it doesn't look like it now.

I'm still feeling the letdown of 2019, when we set various offensive records over the first 45 games of the season. Then the remaining 117 games happened.

Just sell the team. Seattle demands winners, so if there is 0 commitment from the owners, then we need new ones.

The most positive thing I can think of to say about this offense right now. Well at least that absolute dumpster fire of an off season acquisition, Polanco, isn't playing today.

Offense woke up a little. Good to see Julio go off.

Nice game for a change. Blue Jays coming to town, let's see if they can keep it going.

We went a long time with just the Mets and Sonics championships. I don't think we're that demanding. Look at what an achievement the Mariners pulled off this Independence Day—Se7en Freaking Runs!!!

Sadly, this is a meaningless win. I just can't see Houston NOT winning the division. Who knows, maybe they'll prove us wrong :LOL:

Everyone is talking about getting another bat. Why not fix the problem with the bats the Mariners already have?
Yesterday the team was rallying around J-Rods HR. If that's the cure then lets address J-Rods bat. https://www.si.com/mlb/mariners/new...seattle-mariners-julio-rodriguez-01j1wxdpsv86
Well first off I’m not holding my breath that we are suddenly going to improve all the cold bats on our team just with better coaching or prep or whatever.. but besides that trying to improve the batters we have and trying to upgrade our roster aren’t mutually exclusive..
