Just going to tuck this here in case anyone else wants to relive the moment before the next series starts up...

I heard a "My Oh My" out of that Atlanta broadcast. Not sure whether to be flattered or insulted.

Props to the Mariners you guys are on your way to the top. Braves haven’t been playing their best & a real good team like the Mariners can exploit our issues.
Our Closer is having issues, we have other options… so we’ll see. Our #5 pitcher has been a problem & Morton has been inconsistent. SS Ozzie Albies is on his way back which should fortify our line up.

Great game for the NL Rookie of the Year & AL Rookie of the year both are phenoms.

We’re trying win a divisional race while also preparing to win a World Series. We’re built to beat the Dodgers it will be interesting to see what changes you make next year to beat Houston.

The Mariners & Braves have similar styles of Baseball I thought it was a great series for both clubs. We needed our weaknesses to be exploited again to create change and you guys need a confidence boost you guys are a better than you know. You guys have a closer problem too so you better fix it and you guys made errors at critical moments you have to fix that too don’t let your stats get you complacent.

Beating the Braves the way you did should’t be overlooked and the victory should propel your team to be a contender for the World Series this year.

8-2 last 10 games.. but the Braves haven't been playing their best lately.. ok, afraid to see what they are when they are playing their best.. That said, Guess the M's haven't been playing their best lately either, having just lost a series to the White Sox .. losing a game to the Indians.

World Series or bust! We’re not better than the Dodgers or Astros right now but we’re getting 2nd baseman Ozzie Albies back soon. Ronald Acuna jr. Can’t play Right Field right now because his knee is sore when he plays Right Field we have a strong Defense and he’s better at the plate. 3rd Base MVP Candidate Austin Riley is batting below his capabilities right now but that’s ok because we want him hot at the end of the year & Playoffs. Our Closer has blown saves lately!
Once we get Albies back and Acuna playing Right Field we will be at full strength we can platoon Grissom & Rosario in Left Field and platoon Grissom, Grossman, Rosario, & Ozuna at DH.

Our team is far better than last year but Astros & Dodgers had injuries in the playoffs, they didn’t play up to their potential.

The back end of the Dodger line up isn’t playing up to its potential right now.

If we can’t win our Division it’s going to hard to make it to the World Series because our best Pitcher NL Rookie of the year candidate Spencer Stryder & MLB win leader Kyle Wright haven’t Pitched a full MLB season.

It's ok, your post is one of those.. nice job, BUT. blah blah blah.. Why not just say .. Nice job M's, we'll get you next time... or something. Cause you know, we don't give a crap about the Braves.

Not True your Organization is trying to REPLICATE the Braves as much a possible!!! Guess your not following your GM!!

I‘m trying to show you what makes us Special! It’s far more than the talent! It‘s the entire Organization working as 1! Our Minor League System is as much of a part of it as the Major league roster.

Our Fans determine how much payroll we have to spend so winning is worth the investment vs being average. Being average means being paid average throughout the Organization.

Seattle is about to blow up because the Mariners will probably win their Wild Card series! The Mariners have a huge Home Game advantage far more than what their record suggest.

Our GM is considered the Best in Baseball. He discovered it doesn’t matter how many great players you have it’s the culture & how the players gel together combined with talent that equals wins.

The Braves are a very supportive & positive Organization, they keep negativity at a distance. Players love to go to work everyday because it’s a place they can go & experience positively all day long.

The Braves have a massive fan base in the South which will enable them to spend over 200 Million next year. Fans buy into the positive Braves Culture.

Seattle needs to build up it‘s fan base from Vegas & Utah to the East Stretching to MN. Confidence & Positivity are critical to your success that’s how you beat the big spenders like LA & NY.

Well, at least you have your culture.

What an incredible game 3 and series. Played toe to toe with the best. Lost a 3 game series by a TOTAL of 4 runs. It's clear we need to add some bats. I feel nothing but pride in what this team accomplished. It's really a bummer that Servais screwed up game 1 for us by bringing in Robbie BP Ray. We saw on Saturday what this bullpen can do. AND, all the guys that WERE available.
Step back and think about this for a second: It took the Houston Astros 18 innings to score a SINGLE RUN. Mariners pitchers had ONE WALK in 18 innings. Damn.

But, the gap has closed BIG time. We lost to a better team, but we went down fighting, period.
