Are the chaos ball mariners back?

Love to see an intentional walk followed by a game winning hit. I get it, It was all about lefty/righty and not about Hanniger per say. Still, to see a hitter step in as the preferred victim and make 'em pay is fun. And what a great at bat by Hanniger. He battled off pitchers pitches on the outside corner just to get to a pitch that he could get out of the infield.

That…and layin down a bunt, sac-fly, or just a good ol’ single thru the infield to advance the runners…are offensive baseball to me.
The kid is incredible, just turned 24. The league is pretty full of really good shortstops right now, but he just might be the best.

Witt makes impressive catch, starts double play | 06/14/2024
Bobby Witt Jr. makes an impressive over-the-shoulder catch in shallow left field, then doubles up Teoscar Hernández at first base in the 7th

If Munoz and Stanek are the closers then Ms need another good reliever. If Stanek is suppose to be more relief than need another closer.
Bullpen I worry about:
- Bazardo
- Baumman
- Saucedo
Trade one of them with Hancock who needs another year in minors and get a solid closer. With the A’s tanking, Miller please

M's keep winning. But they almost always make it interesting (in a scary sorta way).
I like small ball. They are actually doing that some, surprisingly. Surprises our opponents for sure. Maybe the firing of the OC is helping here.
The games are fun to watch. That is all I can ask for. But some new blood on the team would be nice for sure...

Gabe Speier is on the 15day IL, should be off soon AFAIK. Really miss Matt Brash this year, great setup arm who can close too.If Munoz and Stanek are the closers then Ms need another good reliever. If Stanek is suppose to be more relief than need another closer.

I got one think that Sauce has been great this year. Thornton also has come in clutch.
Santos is ramping up should be ready soon. Heard he was throwing 95 while throwing off the mound in rehab.
The bats are warming up. We are up to above league average now. Just need to figure out if polanco's really toast or if he can come back to somewhere in his career normals. Though honestly, I like bliss and lockear.
Hanger is toast and his defense is atrocious. We really need something better there

I recall being somewhat surprised when the M's had a 2 game lead over the second place world champs. Could be 8 1/2 games after today. Is it possible that they actually are a pretty good baseball team? Not NY Yankees dominant but still a pretty good team. Easy to root for a team that looks like it is having fun playing a kids game.
I'm watching my first game of the season, because I'm in Tampa and it happens to be on. (I was among the many left out when Root Sports and XFinity conspired to steal my coverage I was paying extra for.)
Gotta like what Logan Gilbert did today. Simply dominant. Kinda makes me wish I could watch more games, but simply on principle, I can't pay those assholes any more money than I already have for my "local sports package." Hope the rest of you enjoy what looks like a very promising season!
Mariners sweep the Rangers to get to 43-31, a winning percent of 0.581. Extrapolate that to a full season and it's 94 wins. This is a good baseball team with top tier starting pitching, very fun to watch.
Just heard one of the talking heads say that he threw 22 out of 26 first pitch strikes. No backing down from him today.

Pitchers. Or a successful game for a pitcher.
Best pitch ion baseball, first pith strike - it's one of the things that made Greg Maddox so great, even when he could barely crack 90, he was always ahead in the count.

.. Speaking that Canuck fellow, he is actually quite happy that in the 12-games (in a row) the Royals just wrapped against first-place teams (Cleveland, Ms, Yankees, and Dodgers), they went 5 and 7; doesn't sound that impressive but considering they are still 9 up on .500 and they only won 56 last year, he'll take it.Who could have predicted that? Pretty impressive effort by some younger Mariners. Edit: If I start sounding like the Canuck somebody slap me.
Go Royals!!
OK, let's load up the bases with one out for the guy that's hitting .398 right now.. Wonder why Cervais didn't bring Stanek out for a batter or 2 in the 8th. Best setup man in the pen and now he had to bring in Muni, who's gonna close.. Bazardo?
That said this is a great game. Miller was money and the M's bats came out swinging. If the bullpen can close it down and or the offense can pad the top of the 9th it should go in the W column. Kudos to the Guardians; they're never out of it.

... maybe, the best who ever played the game ... RIP.
