Mariners lose division for 23rd straight year

[Welshers2]

If the teams in a five-team division had an equal chance of winning in any given year, the probability of 23 years of losses is 0.59%.

To get even odds of this happening, the team has to be really bad, with less than a 3% chance of winning the division each year.

Impressive ownership

The year fans finally ignore the Ms totally and T-Mobile resembles Oakland's stadium will probably be the year the Ms somehow win it all.

Impressive ownership

Not sure if the Mariners will ever go on sale but the current owner could not care less about going to playoffs or not. He is rather content with no desires to improve the team by using all options on the table.

Wanna sign big time impactful free agent(s)? Look elsewhere cause Seattle will not even try…

The biggest reason why I can never be pessimistic about the Seahawks is because the Mariners exist.

JP, Garver, and Haniger all under contract still next year so unless a team trades for them they'll be on the 26 man roster. They probably let Polanco walk. Who's playing first base? If you convince Turner to stay one more year he's probably your best bet. Rojas gets DFA'd most likely. They need to sign or trade for infielders. The outfield is looking decent. The infield is one of the worst in baseball.

It’s a pathetic franchise, probably a bottom 5 major sports franchise.

If given the choice of the team moving and us getting a new expansion team with new owners 10 years later, I’d say move the team.

Until ownership changes, which it won’t anytime soon, it will be more of the same.

Robles is on pace to have more hits than JP and more RBI's than Rojas. That's how pathetic the infield is. You could make the case it's one of the worst ever.

Polanco and Haniger combined 800 AB's, yet Cal has more RBI's than them combined. Unreal.

M's had 830 total AB's in August which resulted in a whopping 170 hits. 31 of those were doubles and 0 triples. Team hit almost nothing but singles and home runs.

Padres have almost 600 less strikeouts than the M's.

 

[Msfann]

The Mariners came in 2nd of all time for strikeouts in a season. The previous #2 was the Seattle Mariners from last year.
They were only 30 away from beating the all time record.
