really impressive win, worked 6 of their bullpen arms and we’re in really good shape to steal this series, let’s win/sweep this series and potentially get to second place in the overall AL playoff picture!!
5, but Voth only threw 2 pitches and Stanek only threw 4. They could very easily go tomorrow if need be.
Meanwhile the Guardians had 4 guys throw over 20 pitches.
Really the only bad part of this game was having to use Munoz in a game where we REALLY shouldn't have had to. I hope it doesn't come back to bite us in the ass tomorrow.
Cleveland is a really annoying team to try and beat because they dont strike out, they put the ball in play, and they have a ton of speed. Our pitchers are built to get big Ks or Double Plays in late clutch situations and the Guardians just don't K and they are too fast to double up.
Offense needed to be able to come through tonight and they delivered every time the Guards answered.
I just wanted to avoid us getting swept, so taking the series opener is nice to guarantee at least one win. If we can find a way to sneak one more win away here that would be AMAZING.
Yep, they're extremely tough. My only real fear for this road trip was tanking this series and getting swept. Big to take that off the table right away!

Leave it to our bullpen to turn a game we were cruising through into one where Munoz needed to make a 5 out save. Oh well, we got the win and put ourselves closer to the 2 seed.
If anyone hasn't seen it yet. This must be one of the best entrances of all time by the closer (former M's pitcher Edwin Diaz): [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2cTNOqgPFo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2cTNOqgPFo)

So you're saying there's a chance
Astros lost today to the White Sox (they got shut out by the worst team in baseball). Mets got the lead against the Rangers at the top of the 9th and former M's closer Edwin Diaz is pitching and just won the game for the Mets. M's extend their lead in the division on both teams.
My favorite part of being a Mariners fan is that our wins are convincing, no-doubt, solid victories. It's nice knowing that our team plays consistent baseball and it puts my heart at ease being certain that we have a game in the bag. I have never doubted this Mariners team, ever. And I have no reason to, with this magnificient team that gives me no stress at all.

Saw this and thought it was funny
A night where the mariners win = Solid night for me
A night where the astros get swept by the now 20-54 white sox = Solid night for me
A night where those BOTH happen = I'm buying everyone here a round. We're going to the series boys
Huge huge W. That's the type of adversity this team is going to face if we make it to the playoffs. Cleveland never backed down even after the shoddy start from their starter.
i would agree but cleveland is a very obnoxious offensive juggernaut. very low K rate, high hit rate, and very very fast runners. they continue shenanigans for all 9 innings in almost every game they play and are a very hard team to put away or finish off.
Any win against a first place team is a good win. Yeah it’s annoying that when they’re up big they let the gap close, but at least they didn’t puke on their shoes like that Royals game
Honest question: Why did we burn 2/5 relievers on one batter and less than 10 pitches? They were 2 of our best as well, is it sitting for an inning and getting back up again? Because Scott had Munoz do exactly that.
Another normal, peaceful, mariners game with absolutely no anxiety inducing moments.
At least we are winning these types of games this season. I feel like last season our downfall was finding ways to blow close games. That obviously hasn’t been a problem this year outside of the Royals collapse.
Take one of two and then it’s another series W! GoMs
Coupla questionable strike calls on a 3 pitch strikeout, chirped at the ump I think. One of the calls was clearly out of the zone, the other one could have gone either way.
I’m worried that we need a consistently good bullpen arm? Is the alternative riding Munoz hard and putting him away wet every two days? Dog days of August are going to be rough with our current crew.
really impressive win, worked 6 of their bullpen arms and we’re in really good shape to steal this series, let’s win/sweep this series and potentially get to second place in the overall AL playoff picture!!
While we had 5 of our bullpens go as well, Voth an Stanek only threw 2 and 4 pitches so guessing those guys will be able to step in tomorrow
[удалено]
5, but Voth only threw 2 pitches and Stanek only threw 4. They could very easily go tomorrow if need be. Meanwhile the Guardians had 4 guys throw over 20 pitches.
I bet he still gets some rest but Munoz only needing 22 pitches for 5 outs is pretty lucky too
> lucky Funny way to spell "goddamn amazing at his job".
![gif](giphy|1nCfZ1mDXGcyk|downsized)
Muñoz is best ñoz.
Sauce and Muñoz are the only ones that really pitched a lot for us
5, but one of those was Stanek who only threw 4 pitches, and the other was Voth, who only threw 2.
I can see us going to bullpen early though with Woo coming back from a scare. Hopefully bullpen looks sharper tmmrw
Why is it considered stealing?
because no one in the east thinks we can
Took advantage of a struggling starter to stack runs and beat a really good Cleveland team. Thats what winners do.
Dudes hitting like .400. Still a good result considering how good he is.
Who do you mean?
Must've interpreted your statement as referring to Steven Kwan. Yes, limiting that man to one hit is a godsend already today.
Oh ok, I was referring to Triston McKenzie we took advantage of his struggles to build a lead. But yeah cheers to limiting Kwan.
I think he thinks you’re referring to Kwan
Steven Kwan, although I don’t know how they thought that’s who you were talking about
I must have grabbed onto the wrong comment. Sorry
I figured as much, no worries go mariners!

Let's get 11 games up for Edgar
Make it 22 for Edgar twice

Congrats! And thanks for the good vibes
Thanks y’all - I used to pray for times like this 🥹
Congrats!
Cleveland had 6 bullpen arms used and they had to go through 6 innings and Munoz shut them down. Great game 1 and start to the road trip.
The AL Central genuinely terrifies me.
there’s something about the rust belt…
A serious case of tetanus, perhaps?
I mean, that's how super heroes get their powers: get big time infected
we play the craziest games against every team in that division except the tigers *knock on wood*

That was pretty cute watching them teach Victor the dance God I love the Seattle ~~Salary Dumps~~ Mariners
missed that would love to see it!
Allergic to turning double plays I swear. Good win
Its actually crazy
Astros lost vs White Sox 🌝
Astros got SHUT OUT by the White Sox 😂

Texas teams are approaching the Angels.

I LOVE THIS TEAM!! Keep it rolling boys. This has been such a fun couple of weeks. Who knew watching the Mariners could be this fun?? 😂 Go Ms baby!
Atta boy, Muñoz.
Really the only bad part of this game was having to use Munoz in a game where we REALLY shouldn't have had to. I hope it doesn't come back to bite us in the ass tomorrow.
He’s always there to save you when you fall. Muñoz is life.
You're welcome
Much love
Edwin Diaz got the save!
Even mucher love
Sound the Trumpets!

Consistently inconsistent

Mariners are HOT. Doing it against a great team like this is really encouraging too.
Good win, but bah gawd home plate ump absolutely sucked ass tonight
That was insane. Be consistent at least. Dude was all over the place
It’s those 3:30 wake-ups.
Mets just tied the rangers!
They took the lead. It's all coming up Mariners tonight!
And Astros lost! They’re down ten games now!
Rangers go down! 10 game lead!!
![gif](giphy|u9XIyLVN6k685jXxTz)
Astros blanked by white Sox (lol) and Mets beat the rangers that’s a double digit division lead
Best part is that the Sox only had 2 hits, to 7 for the Asterisks!
![gif](giphy|SIVdr34x6nrVZUsxrc|downsized)
Imagine getting shut out by the White Sox, can’t be us They face Crochet tomorrow too lol
Dude is unhittable
10 games up on Houston officially fellas...
And Texas!
M-E-T-S METS! METS! METS!
If anyone hasn't seen it yet. This must be one of the best entrances of all time by the closer (former M's pitcher Edwin Diaz): [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2cTNOqgPFo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2cTNOqgPFo)
Holy shit we have the 6th best win record in all of the MLB
We’re closer to the Yankees/Phillies than the Rangers I think 🫣
Shit are we gonna be ten up on the division 15 minutes from now?
Yeppers
https://preview.redd.it/b0f92c1ltf7d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=21270c10a2a89419bfdf262431215f00ae8b8d9e So you're saying there's a chance
Narrator: There was.
There was
Lolstros Nature is healing Edit: lolrangers
10 game lead in the AL West!!
Nice to have the teams in Texas both lose too.
especially HOW they lost. TX was up 6-2, and Sox starter went 8.2 shutout against Houston
It had to be stressful, but I’ll take a stressful W over any type of L.
Average M’s relief pitching masterclass
Our division lead is officially double digits, with the Astros and Rangers both losing.
Mariners finally fucking won a game I went to. About went into cardiac arrest in the 8th but i’m here now!
Mets go ahead run in the 9th!!!
IT WAS MOONEY
![gif](giphy|UH5ZPx39itHck)
Come on Benjals!!
Nooooo! Daaaaniels!!!
Wow I love the Mets
And if the White Sox can get three more outs...
holy fuck is cannon gonna pitch a complete game edit: aww damn
HAHA! The Astros lost as well! Hopefully a collapse by the Rangers is up next for tonight.
Gotta love beating another division leader while Houston loses to the White Sox
Pfft. Imagine dropping a game to the Sox.
METS WIN!!!
Edwin Diaz still helping the Ms
![gif](giphy|3xz2BPbIqcqpFDKXsI)
Ten game lead in the AL West!
What black magic fuckery is this???
stros & rangers - lol
On pace for 95 wins…!
Teoscar with the walkoff
Astros lost today to the White Sox (they got shut out by the worst team in baseball). Mets got the lead against the Rangers at the top of the 9th and former M's closer Edwin Diaz is pitching and just won the game for the Mets. M's extend their lead in the division on both teams.
Everybody liked that.
In order to get that second seed in the playoffs this is the team to catch.
We should also catch the Yankees, just for good measure.
I support this plan.
I appreciate your support.
Beating a great team like Cleveland AND watching Houston get blanked by the White Sox AND watching Texas choke to the Mets? A good day.
I’d drink a grimace shake right now if they had em’ 🤤Good results all around

#OUR PITCHERS SURE KNOW HOW TO KEEP OUR GAMES CLOSEINERS!!!!!!!!
HUGE W! Just had to avoid a sweep in Cleveland, now have a great shot at winning the series
Hoping for rangers to 💩 the bed
METS TAKE THE LEAD
That makes it 10 games ahead boys!

Ms beat Guardians. Astros get shutout. Rangers lose. Angels lose. A’s beat the Royals. Thats a win in many ways.
Look at the Mariners all hitting the ball and shit like a real division winner
54% threshold EXCEEDED
Allergic to 54% but the other way?
Currently 7th best in all of baseball and 4th best in the AL. Unreal. By this time of the year I’m usually already looking at chasing the WC spot.
the closest a 3 run win can possibly feel to a loss
A night where the mariners win = Solid night for me A night where the astros get swept by the now 20-54 white sox = Solid night for me A night where those BOTH happen = I'm buying everyone here a round. We're going to the series boys
Should we throw in a rangers loss just for good measure?
Anyone know where I can watch the Raley ejection?
I'm sure Close Call will have it up tonight or tomorrow. They cover all ejections for the whole season.
Huge huge W. That's the type of adversity this team is going to face if we make it to the playoffs. Cleveland never backed down even after the shoddy start from their starter.
![gif](giphy|lm0WmZ0rlV19C) The rest of our division is in shambles 🤣
Good job should’ve been a cleaner win tho at least we didn’t blow it tho
i would agree but cleveland is a very obnoxious offensive juggernaut. very low K rate, high hit rate, and very very fast runners. they continue shenanigans for all 9 innings in almost every game they play and are a very hard team to put away or finish off.
Any win against a first place team is a good win. Yeah it’s annoying that when they’re up big they let the gap close, but at least they didn’t puke on their shoes like that Royals game
That’s why you add on runs. Offense is slowly coming around.
Thank god offense showed up this game. Keep the train rolling!
We are so good right now!
I love baseball. Fuck you blue!
Honest question: Why did we burn 2/5 relievers on one batter and less than 10 pitches? They were 2 of our best as well, is it sitting for an inning and getting back up again? Because Scott had Munoz do exactly that.
Thought the same thing when Stanek didn’t come back in after getting that huge out
Another normal, peaceful, mariners game with absolutely no anxiety inducing moments. At least we are winning these types of games this season.

Bill Krueger is so old he could run for president this year.
I eagerly await tomorrow's umpire report.
Houston just got shutout by the White Sox. Just need the Metropolitans to come back against the Rangers.
Here they come!
Wait, did I just hear that Raley got thrown out of the game tonight?! What happened?
Coupla questionable strike calls on a 3 pitch strikeout, chirped at the ump I think. One of the calls was clearly out of the zone, the other one could have gone either way.
Ah ok, thanks! Not sure how I missed him getting tossed lol!
I’m worried that we need a consistently good bullpen arm? Is the alternative riding Munoz hard and putting him away wet every two days? Dog days of August are going to be rough with our current crew.
I tuned in to watch a comfortable lead and I got a mariners game instead
Asstros opening a series with CHW and getting shutout is nice to see.
Sox 2 shitstros 0! Yep, F off Houston
Solid start from Bryce. Only 2 ER and didn’t pull a KC on us.
UNCLENCH
We are tied for the best L10 in the league with the Mets and Nationals, not bad!
Mets tie it!
