It's incredible that Seattle is still a playoff relevant team after going 2-7 in their last nine games. Looks like my fears about the epic Brewers loss spelling doom in the next several games after came to fruition.

That said, I just don't see this team getting hot again. The offense is old and out of gas, the rotation has huge holes in it, and the bullpen is showing itself to be Edwin Diaz plus a bunch of schmoes. Even during the post all-star break "boon" in which Seattle has been five games over .500, they've posted a negative run differential.

IMO, Seattle should blow up this team during the offseason and get a head start on the rebuild. Even if Seattle starts off hot again in 2017, I wouldn't trust a roster this old to hold up over 162 games.

They either need to blow it up or swing for the fences next year (which doesn't seem likely). I'm in favor of blowing it up, this team was put together a couple years ago to contend sooner than later. That obviously isn't working.

And the only reason we are still in playoff contention is because teams like Baltimore and Detroit haven't been playing all that great. I will never bet against the Royals, they are the Seahawks of the MLB. They just find a way to get it done. I personally wrote them off because of their lack of pitching, but they are proving me wrong.

Yep, it's over. No huge surprise.

I'm also in favor of a blow up.

I stated the blow up train a while back and it is the right thing to do,it will hurt for awhile but you have to start from farm up as we do not have the Yankee $ to short cut it.We fo have some nice pieces to keep.I like the closer,Pax,KS and Z has redeemed himself.All the others can be traded because we need all the prospects we can collect.Hire damn good scouts too and leave no rock unturned.

......and that's the season!!!!

 

[Thepeelsessions]

Ay yi yi.....oh well. This team doesn't deserve to make it into the post season. They're bringing this all upon themselves. No urgency. No killer instinct. Piss poor managing. Piss poor pitching. Piss poor offense. The Royals are fighting for their lives. That's a team that deserves to be in the post season.

 

[Sports Hernia]

Diaz is not a 2 inning closer. Servais should have known that by now.
I think I'm done watching baseball for the year. At least they almost got us to the regular football season this year.

 

[Seahaaaawks]

Frick!!! How many games have the M's scored 5+ runs and ended up losing? The bullpen is a disaster. No way we should lose a game when we score 7 runs. Bullpen, management, not executing... I don't even know what to blame it on anymore. Just piss poor

 

[Crizilla]

i thought it was a good pitch by Diaz......just great hitting

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Texas just ended our season.

 

[Crizilla]

Texas right now has just one more hit than us yet 9 more runs. Sums up the season.

14-1 huh? Well now, doesn't that put an exclamation point on the end of any playoff hopes. Guess the only question now is will they finish at .500 or above? It's gotten so bad, I'm beginning to question whether that will actually be the case.

The M's are so irrelevant in the world of sports. They seriously belong with the Cleveland Browns and Sacramento King's of the world.

If I could trade away the Mariners and the Sounders for the Sonics I'd do it in a heartbeat.

If I could trade them for the Sonics of yesteryear I'd be game. An expansion franchise in today's NBA, the world of superteams and style over substance? No thanks. Hopefully the Mariners new ownership will turn things around for the organization as much as Howard Schultz' ownership of the Sonics doomed them.

I'd honestly trade the M's away for an expansion NBA team. What have they ever done for this city in the 35+ years they've been here? A few good seasons, enough you can count on one hand. The Sonics had so many great years here. I know an expansion team would take a while, but the M's have basically been an expansion team for the last 15 years.

 

[Kennedyin92]

True

 

[Largent80]

Take a look at the Cubs while you are whining about the M's and be happy you even have a team. I spent many a year in the Kingdome watching bad M's teams and still had fun.

Jut as well you are not in charge. Much prefer the Sounders to NBA basketball.
