It has been a rough week for Our Friend Rob, but luckily for you, the fan, the Mariners face back-to-back (devious and godless) LHP to start the week. Prepare yourselves for The Week of Rob. He will succeed. He will breach the 10 hit threshold. The Mariners will WIN.

In conclusion bsky.app/profile/nath...

This is not researched but earnestly wonder if this rotation's obvious emphasis on avoiding walks (lowest BB% in the game by far) is actually working against them, especially the third time through the order. Guys know they're getting something to hit.

It feels like the Mariners are losing games in the middle innings, and thanks to @samueljoseph51.bsky.social's research, that's backed up with data. The 6th inning transition from starter to bullpen has been slaughtering this team.

Thinking about how good the Mariners’ rotation was in 2023-2024 and what an absolute waste those years were.

I would like him to have Kyle Seager’s career plz. Huge ask but that’s what I want

The people rejoice at the arrival of Glorious Leader Colt McColt

Parenting a high school senior is a wild trip man. Sure, sure I guess this person I’m in charge of keeping alive and teaching the world to is grown up now. I’ll just…uh…feel normal about all that I guess.

Got a notification from a medieval copyright lawyer

The Mariners are not good. I know that’s pretty much always true because they are never really trying to be good, but I do feel like I should acknowledge that they are not good.

It’s you, the fan

Keep making them worse. They’ll only win harder.

If the Mariners continue to play against Houston and everyone else the way they have to this point my rough napkin math has them at 67-95 this year.

As the Mariners twist their way through another perplexingly-mediocre season consider this a periodic reminder: The team cursed itself by allowing Humpy the Salmon to win the salmon race. Only his sacrifice will lift the taint upon this organization and allow them to succeed.

I don’t have special insight into the process of who decided when this all goes down. I think it would be nice if it’s Dan Wilson’s fault because you can fix it by removing him. If it’s organizational philosophy that means it’s in the walls and will be tougher to change.

I know this isn’t how it works but Mariners vs. Astros: 7-1, +27 run differential Mariners vs. Everyone else: 15-23, -13 run differential No Astros on the schedule til mid-August. Gonna need to pick it up

The Mariners have got to stop subbing out their better bats in the middle innings trying to play matchup. The lineup turns over and in the highest leverage points you’re stuck with Rob Refsnyder facing Mason Miller. It just has to change.

Every single ground ball to the left side is non-routine. Every single one.

It’s so visually jarring watching the 2026 Mariners everyday and then seeing high quality MLB defense

Mid month awards. I love Luke Raley. Would love anyone to read and give any feedback

I’m in a Mariner Discord and we keep it chill by relentlessly bullying anyone who tries to earnestly root for the team to win.

For My Oh Why Enthusiasts, I predicted every single game for your 2026 Seattle Seahawks. NostradamChris is never wrong. youtu.be/JKd7ySXTHnk

Almost shot a hole-in-one today. Walked around the golf course for four hours. Good evening out. Golf is a fun sport.

I am 44 years old and have been rooting for literally the Seattle Mariners my entire life. Based on that experience I think I am exceptionally well-qualified to make the following statement: The 2026 Houston Astros are an atrociously bad baseball team

A Randy Arozarena-Luke Raley-Dom Canzone outfield?! “The Mariners Must Get Worse In Order To Win” strategy is finally being embraced, and I am overjoyed.

The normal usage of the obviously very healthy Cal Raleigh continues. There will be no IL stint because that would mean he's hurt. Which he's not! Because if he were that would be very bad. I think we're all clear at this point.

The Mariners are underachieving, mediocre, and need to improve. Their options are limited and I recognize the factors in play but allowing JP Crawford to continue to play shortstop is a daily decision to be something other than the best the team can be. It has to change.

Mariners and Astros got stuck in a classic Mariber Vs. Mariber standoff in which the only true winner is you, the consumer

Well anytime you got a guy five pitches or so from his limit sitting cold for 10+ minutes during an umpire switchover you simply have to run him back out there. No other choice, really.

Juror number 96, please report to the judge to receive your gun for being cool as hell

There are a lot of things in modern life that make all of us feel scared, unmoored, and uncertain about who and what we are but dudes reckoning with having to earn women's love and affection without a preposterously stacked economic and social deck is a work that needs going through.

You know what day it is. Yee haw

Such a great pitch after plunking two guys on two-strike counts and walking a dude with a SLG under .350 on four pitches. The 2026 Astros are a fun watch.

Randy Arozarena is the coolest Mariner since Nelson Cruz and Robbie Cano by a large degree

Just shitty parasitic ones. Next

83-79, AL West Champs, and 13-0 against Houston sounds good to me.

Beating the Astros rocks let’s do it forever

The 2026 Astros have extremely strong 2004 Mariners energy

FTR I will not be participating in Hot Boy Summer for personal reasons. Plz respect my privacy at this time

Julio kicking off an early Hot Boy Summer.

Cal Raleigh is off to a rough start in 2026. Based on this Dan Wilson quote, however, I am confident that Cal is bigly close to beating the nasty pitchers who are being very rude to him, and is going to go on to be the hottest catcher in the modern game, and perhaps ever. We’re going to check it out

Explaining to my date that actually I have a 50-man roster and every position is projected at seven wins.

Outside of some Cole Young-related hijinks the first 25% of the 2026 Mariners Season has been like watching a CPA work. Slow, laborious, uninteresting, with a vague belief that the math will sort itself out by the end.

Through skill and good fortune the team is on its 5th year with a homegrown rotation, star centerfielder, and elite catcher. They just have not done enough to supplement that core year after year after year. Tiresome, but they will still make the playoffs.
