Went to one game last year, it was free. Doing the same this year. Still love the team, just not gonna' spend a bunch of coin supporting them.
We go to several every year.. my 11 year old LOVES going... Has gotten signatures every time... First time from Julio with a bobblehead on her birthday, on her pink ball... Because of this we considered season tickets.. we sit at the first base line at first base behind the dugout every time 6 rows back or so, Use to sit in nosebleeds as a kid.. and I couldn't love these seats more haha

Even one time JP telling her Kirby (One of her favorite players) "doesn't sign balls" so he signed hers instead.

We enjoy the experience and I love seeing my kid enjoy the experience... as an AVID Fan.. yes.. It sucks... but we havent lost since we've gone so its always an enjoyable game and a good night out.

Guess I'm one of the bad ones for "supporting them" but... I don't care :)

One positive note for the M's is it seems that the American League West looks to be pretty weak across the board. So anybody can take it. I don't think Houston is going do their annual start slow and take it away season as usual. Could be wrong.

The thing is, the M's in the month of April have 18 games at home and 12 on the road, and the teams they are playing are of lesser quality relative to the rest of the league. In other words, the beginning of the season, getting off to a good start was important to this team. It won't get any easier. And the end of the season presents a very difficult schedule for them.

6/7 Games in... same old Board...

Can we start crying like children once we are at least 2 months in and our hitters are still doing the same thing?

I get it... we seem the same, it may take time. The Braves haven't won a game... Padres haven't lost a game

White Sox crushing a few games... its baseball.. Sometimes I think people forget this
I would understand your view if it wasn’t a multi season thing with the exact same group as last year. It’s been how many years of the same thing? I know small sample size this year but it’s exactly where it was with Servais. I think Dan is a good coach and I really like him. Edgar is my all time favorite player. I have supported Jerry for a while now but I see ownership is about 75% of the problem. Jerry 25%. He’s had good drafts lately for the most part but roster construction is terrible. He seems to be addicted to players that don’t fit this ballpark when it comes to the offense. He has a good eye for pitching, at least his scouts do and good people in the minors who can develop. I can accurately predict what every hitter is going to do regardless the situation. No faith in them

No doubt. It's a great place for a game. And if it's a chance to spend time with friends and family? That's a hell of a lot more important than protesting.

Agreed
This crap has been going on for 2 decades.
Sure there's still 150 something games left. We know. But we are Mariner fans.
