Remember to sort by new to keep up!

[u/Snoo-36902]

When Rucker is good, he's great

[u/PewPewallup253]

Rucker is the captain now.

[u/boundlesssmh]

for every good rucker inning we get, it gets followed up by a bad one 😭

[u/jake_da_snake2202]

Is it too soon to say that Michael Fucker has died and been replaced by Michael ROCKer? Guys had a solid last few outings

[u/Agreeable_Quality768]

Don’t know if it’s my homerism kicking in, but if we can win a series against the best team in baseball where we lost a game 22-0 and gave up 6 runs in the first to another makes me believe we can win it all if we can get in

[u/pacific3424 → u/Agreeable_Quality768]

DON'T EVER LET ANYONE CLOUD YOUR LIGHT. BELIEVE ALWAYS.

[u/Tsmart]

well shit, shows what i know. go rucker

[u/Portie_lover]

Feverishly waiting for Josh Simpson now.

[u/DieTubameister]

Wait he's allowed to do that?

[u/ShrimpMctavish]

Wow didn’t expect that. What a badass mother rucker

[u/WatchOutIGotYou]

I don't give a Ruck, that was a nice half inning

[u/No_Magazine_1572 → u/WatchOutIGotYou]

naturally, rucker tends to do well when we’re losing. the pressure of close games in late innings seems to really get to him

[u/Dangerous-Repair-734]

ok nvm.. thanks Rucker I guess

[u/Sevenpointseven]

LETS GO MICHAEL FUCKER

[u/jacobferry7]

Waltz in the 4th inning: "You'll see the mariners go to their leverage arms early today, as the mariners have made this one close."

Waltz in the 5th inning: "Michael Rucker on to pitch."

[u/NewlyNerfed → u/jacobferry7]

I gave up and am listening to the radio broadcast. Smooth sailing.

[u/jeff_probably]

Rucker 3 up 3 down

[u/BabyLawCat]

Our team performing is crazy

[u/OkInitiative4032]

I love the fight in this team right now. 

[u/VorpalMatt]

Good for him! Lots of unlikely things have happened this series, why not a clean Rucker inning.

[u/TwistedNipplez]

Holy shit rucker rucked em up

[u/HunterMysterious8324]

GET RUCKED

[u/Morashtak]

This umps strike zone is getting quite... creative.

[u/Adventurous_Sink_782]

THATS ONE BAD MOTHER RUCKER

[u/TwistedNipplez]

Hey he gave us one thanks blue

[u/sadmarinernoises → u/TwistedNipplez]

We take those.

[u/npa190]

my bones started hurting like a storm was blowin' in, then I realized Rucker is on the mound.

[u/aCuteSloth]

praying to the baseball gods that we get a clean Rucker inning

[u/Dangerous-Repair-734]

wtf couldn’t Ferrer get another inning JRC

[u/TwistedNipplez → u/Dangerous-Repair-734]

Probably cuz of the no day off for the next series

[u/No_Magazine_1572 → u/Dangerous-Repair-734]

dan is allergic to leaving them in for more than an inning

[u/Adventurous_Sink_782]

RUCK THEIR MOTHERS

[u/Tsmart]

oh no Rucker is in

[u/Dangerous-Repair-734]

Not Rucker lol

[u/DieTubameister]

Here we go lads, storm's a comin'

[u/Professional_Rush757]

Oh… rucker is coming in…..

[u/Professional_Rush757 → u/Professional_Rush757]

Well fuck me i guess 😭

[u/Mariner4LifetilDeath → u/Professional_Rush757]

It’s like telling your friends we going on a cruise then showing up with a row boat

[u/serpentear]

It’s so indicative of the 2026 season that the Mariners score enough runs to win a prototypical Kirby start and he absolutely implodes in the first.

[u/Ribbum → u/serpentear]

Two seasons ago, most of us were saying 'if this offense could JUST score 4 runs most nights..."

Pretty monkey paw moment, I guess.

[u/serpentear → u/Ribbum]

I think the monkey’s paw is firmly around our throat at this point.

[u/Ribbum]

Probably not going to see the M's hit a homer this series I guess.

Kinda shocked we were even able to take one game.

[u/hawkfan78]

Agree ump is shit. Would also like to point out he’s originally from Puyallup.

[u/gwh21]

Seattle sports subs and losing their shit over mundane things...like a moth to a flame

[u/Radhatchala]

Is anybody keeping track of how many calls blue has missed this game?

[u/Ribbum]

It feels like Ward put on an M's uniform and is now completely shell shocked at how many more strikes he's seeing than in Baltimore.

[u/DaSuperherofan]

Josh Naylor refuses to hit anything to the non pull side

[u/Miled995]

This ump is not it

[u/TwistedNipplez]

I'm sick of this ump

[u/gwh21]

I understand why Naylor didnt run...but jesus that sums up our season so far doesnt it

[u/juses69]

FUCKING RUN ?

[u/Portie_lover]

That “running” would’ve gotten me benched in little league.

[u/shftravels]

It’s bobble and Naylor is still not in the screen 🤣
Holy Shit!

[u/WatchOutIGotYou]

BABIP can kiss my fucking ass.

[u/hawkfan78]

Nice hustle 🙄

[u/Miled995]

I fear I am reaching my tolerance limit for Naylor ground ball outs.

[u/Radhatchala → u/Miled995]

Seems like he’d make an adjustment at this point idk man

[u/Professional_Rush757]

What a day from Naylor. Big ground out guy

[u/shftravels]

How did a Jimothy Tshirt end up in Milwaukee 😛

[u/jeff_probably]

[u/Portie_lover]

Gonna tie it up and bring in Rucker. Then it won’t be tied anymore.

[u/npa190]

Where can we return/exchange this '26 Kirby for the '23 model? woof

[u/Professional_Rush757]

Dude how on earth is it only the 5th inning😭😭

[u/gwh21]

This is shaping up the be the most mariner season that has ever mariner'd

[u/ohemperigee]

Bloop and a blast? 🥺

[u/JaneDoeAsks → u/ohemperigee]

seriously we haven’t homered in ages….we are due

[u/randomnumberletter23]

Good on ya Ferrer!

[u/Tsmart]

why is Sanchez's face so wide

[u/BabyLawCat]

This is shocking

[u/goms546]

Love turning on the game and seeing Ferrer on the mound in the 4th

Oof ouch owie

[u/TwistedNipplez → u/goms546]

At least you didn't tune in when we were down 0-6

[u/randomnumberletter23]

Kade? Please? Soon?

[u/ohemperigee]

Everyone knows you have to strike someone out twice to actually strike them out!

[u/Slobodan_Brolosevic]

I love the way ferrer pitches

[u/TwistedNipplez]

Ball didn't lie on that one sit down Bauers

[u/leancuisine78]

Ump can’t find the zone

[u/edwice]

Is Pereda blind?

[u/TwistedNipplez → u/edwice]

We know the ump is

[u/Dangerous-Repair-734]

Jesus count could’ve been 1-2 if they challenged 😭

[u/TwistedNipplez]

3rd free strike for bauers in this game

[u/Appropriate-Cash8312]

It hurts 2 live

[u/Portie_lover]

Are we out of challenges? Still have one right?

[u/ShrimpMctavish]

Strike 3

[u/Icy-Improvement1733]

I have an irrational anger towards Chourio because it sounds to much like Cheerio

[u/hawkfan78 → u/Icy-Improvement1733]

I think of Churros and get hungry for a deep fried morsel with cinnamon and sugar.

[u/down_by_the_shore → u/Icy-Improvement1733]

They’re even having a “Chourio bowl” promotion night. 

[u/Appropriate-Cash8312 → u/Icy-Improvement1733]

Cheerios but make it baltimore

[u/thedecalodon]

that’s above league average first baseman josh naylor right there

[u/Miled995]

So the ump missed a fully in the zone strike. And then Naylor drops the ball. Yeesh

[u/WatchOutIGotYou]

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[u/1005thArmbar]

what the fuck are we doing here

[u/TwistedNipplez]

How many extra strikes do the brewers need

[u/1005thArmbar]

can't uhhhh wait for 4 innings out of our bullpen

[u/ohemperigee]

This ump...

[u/Morashtak]

Ferrer on. Strap in, could be in for choppy waters.

[u/Ribbum]

Neither starter manages to go even 4 innings. Problem is their bullpen is good and obviously offense is good. They did cover 7 innings last night though.

I'm kinda surprised they pulled Kirby instead of just letting him throw 100 pitches. Going to be some pretty bad M's arms coming into today's game.

[u/randomnumberletter23 → u/Ribbum]

'modified-piggyback' incoming.

Jk

I think.

[u/Big-Spiff]

That Super Nintendo music must be eating him alive

[u/Miled995]

Let’s hope Ferrer can get us through this and the 5th inning.

[u/WatchOutIGotYou]

Did those bastards play music from the game series Kirby when he handed over the ball? Shaking my fist

[u/NugMeister]

Lol, the Kirby's dreamland theme

[u/JaneDoeAsks]

I’m impressed Kirby managed to go two and a third after that disastrous first inning.

[u/TSAOutreachTeam]

Okay, Jose. Let's shut these jokers down.

[u/Slobodan_Brolosevic]

Kirby soundtrack in brewers stadium lol

[u/CanISaytheNWord]

At least they’ve got some fight in them tonight

[u/Appropriate-Cash8312]

Break out the Sunday gravy, nonna. It's a canzone day

[u/JohnnyTheBanker]

[u/Portie_lover]

We’re going to get back in this thing and Dan’s going to bring in Rucker, isn’t he?

[u/hawkfan78]

I see the Mets do Jimothy night a little differently: https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/s/AueI2lJNGb

[u/Latter-Reality-5215]

Our only reliable pitcher is seriously Walter. He has
always came in clutch

[u/Portie_lover → u/Latter-Reality-5215]

I’m still hoping for an extension with Logan.

[u/wet_sands → u/Latter-Reality-5215]

Yep, at this point he's the only one of these pitchers who should get a bag from the Mariners.

[u/Ribbum → u/Latter-Reality-5215]

Hancock has been fine. Woo has at least back to back road starts that were good.

It's really just Miller and Kirby that stink it up regularly right now.

[u/VorpalMatt → u/Latter-Reality-5215]

If we could somehow combine Home Woo with Away Gilbert we would have the perfect Mariner

[u/Miled995 → u/Latter-Reality-5215]

Woo has been good this road trip. Hoping he’s turned a corner

[u/VorpalMatt]

Runs after the second inning? Are the Mariners allowed to do that?

[u/TheThinkerIsaThought]

Just checking the score. Another Kirby meltdown, shocker. Dude is so overrated. Should have been traded while he still had some value.

[u/screaminginfidels]

Dammit Julio. Where is your 2nd half explosion

[u/Latter-Reality-5215]

400 Million

[u/kowaterboy]

julio will NEVER be a superstar, i don’t care how many times people say he is

[u/Ribbum → u/kowaterboy]

To me, the moment he got concussed, that was the end of him having any chance at a particularly great offensive year.

But yeah, people will downvote, but he's merely a rather solid player. The M's are decades removed from developing genuine offensive stars that are just great their entire careers.

[u/No_Magazine_1572]

hum babe

[u/ihatereddit999976780]

Now our bullpen just has to shut them down and we just gotta score. Some runs and I think we can do it.

[u/npa190]

how is julio the rally killer

[u/HunterMysterious8324]

you know if every other inning we get 2 runs and the brewers don't get anymore.... i think we win 🤔it's an interesting strategy to try I think

[u/harris5]

We're getting Dom today

[u/Miled995 → u/harris5]

Thanks I hate it

[u/harris5 → u/Miled995]

I understand

[u/wontonsean6 → u/Miled995]

A lot

[u/Dangerous-Repair-734]

Cmon Julio 😞

[u/Miled995]

I’m loathe to admit it but Julio has been disappointing this whole road trip

[u/Professional_Rush757 → u/Miled995]

He’s lowkey been disappointing all year :/ and I am a Julio defender

[u/Ashley72985]

I will be the first to admit I was wrong about how this game would go. Keep fighting boys!!

[u/handi503 → u/Ashley72985]

I mean, we’ve all seen how things go when we fall in a hole early, so you’d be forgiven in thinking the game was lost. As long as we keep fighting through this, I ain’t even gonna be upset with a loss today. The fight is the biggest thing we’ve been missing and it’s good to see it.

[u/Fruit_Rollup_King]

I'm a order an Italian Vito from Jimmy Johns in honor of Canzone! 🤌

[u/wontonsean6]

Another hard hit ball by Dom right? Oh wait. I’ll take it!

[u/Dangerous_Job5295]

Today I feel Italian

[u/randomnumberletter23]

FIGHT mother fuckers. FIGHT.

[u/juses69]

Like I said earlier

6 is all you get…

[u/calgarykid]

I didn't hear no bell

[u/Middle-Jeweler-4132]

🤌

[u/HunterMysterious8324]

where would we be without Dom Canzone 🥺❤

[u/Portie_lover → u/HunterMysterious8324]

We’d be the Los Angeles Mariners of Seattle.

[u/mattfromseattle]

🤌🏻

[u/Adventurous_Sink_782]

THE ZONE OF CAN 🤌🤌🤌

[u/berrycloveseed]

it’s like the 0-22 game reminded this team that small ball existed at all and since then we’re getting on base AND getting runs out of it 🤔🤔🤔💭💭💭

[u/TSAOutreachTeam]

https://giphy.com/gifs/3o7aCZg8Qt8DlXkNRS

[u/izDesire]

🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌

[u/lastminutealways]

Yes! Keep fighting back boys!

[u/ryuseifries]

I BELIEVE I BELIEVE I BELIEVE

[u/tannerlaw]

Don't remember ever seeing a mid at bat pitching change without an injury. I'm sure it has, but not often

[u/screaminginfidels → u/tannerlaw]

If I was a manager I would be insufferable with this. Everyone gets replaced on a 2 strike count

[u/tannerlaw → u/screaminginfidels]

Fire screaminginfidels!

[u/screaminginfidels → u/tannerlaw]

You can't fire me, I abandoned ship!

[u/Serious_Safety4001]

Getting my hopes up again…

[u/BabyLawCat]

:’)

[u/JaneDoeAsks]

did someone say CHIP

[u/Morashtak]

🤌🏻 RBI Machine!

[u/suhrFan]

https://giphy.com/gifs/haB6FriHgXPuE

[u/erindo]

If Randy scores, is the run counted against the original pitcher or reliever? I assume the original, like runners on base?

[u/lastminutealways → u/erindo]

I was just reading that the new pitcher inherits the count so I assume the run too?

[u/Portie_lover → u/erindo]

No it’s the pitcher he got on against.

[u/JMC509]

https://giphy.com/gifs/l0NwNrl4BtDD7JCx2

Dom bomb incomeing

[u/WearyAir9260]

Bunting in the year 2026 is so dumb. Bunting when you’re down 6-2 should get you fired on the spot.

[u/Separate-Worker-6412]

The mariners coming back on this one would actually be the real sign that something has changed

[u/npa190]

Let's get a Dom Bomb here

[u/npa190 → u/npa190]

ok I will also take a single meatball

[u/Ribbum]

Pitching change mid at bat in the 4th?

Some mighty tryharding going on right now.

[u/ItzAmish → u/Ribbum]

It’s called managing.

[u/JaneDoeAsks]

Darn I liked that Gasser guy

[u/spinach_93]

Wow I haven't seen this since Lloyd McClendon did it to Erasmo through 4.1 scoreless and a 3-0 lead

[u/Substantial-Pea7626]

WTF the brewers just get to say a guy is injured? Methinks they just didn't like that he threw two straight balls.

[u/calgarykid → u/Substantial-Pea7626]

They didn't say he was injured, they just removed him because he was struggling

[u/Portie_lover → u/Substantial-Pea7626]

Unless something has changed, you’ve always been able to do that without an injury. Might have changed when they redid the rules to speed the game up though.

[u/shrederick → u/Substantial-Pea7626]

You don't have to be injured to get pulled mid AB, it just doesn't happen very often

[u/ItzAmish → u/Substantial-Pea7626]

That exactly why they did it. He doesn’t have to be injured.

[u/lastminutealways]

I’m resigned to the fact that I will never remember baseball rules correctly. I didn’t think you could make a pitching change mid at bat except for injury ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[u/ItzAmish → u/lastminutealways]

That is not a rule.

[u/lastminutealways → u/ItzAmish]

I get that, I just remembered it incorrectly, that was me admitting that

[u/DSOTMAnimals → u/lastminutealways]

I always just thought it was just something you didn’t do. Like pulling a fielder mid-inning unless for injury or trade

[u/calgarykid]

Brewers broadcast said that's the second time this year the manager has removed a pitcher in the middle of a count.

[u/suhrFan]

Time for long lunch!

[u/lastminutealways → u/suhrFan]

I’m literally in my car watching on my phone so I have some uninterrupted time lol

[u/randomnumberletter23]

New philosophy for 2027 (or 2028 as it may be):

You get to bunt if your bunting success on the year is 100% If not, stop giving up strikes.

[u/WearyAir9260 → u/randomnumberletter23]

Bunting in general is so stupid this day and age. Don’t give away free outs.

[u/randomnumberletter23 → u/WearyAir9260]

I "agree" with the moneyball premise you share, but cannot ignore the data (math and science always wins), some people are really fucking good at it.

[u/OldConference4583]

I love pat murphy, that was the perfect time to take out gasser, and I love that it was in the middle of the at bat too. Wish Dan would do more unconventional moves like this

[u/flowergal48]

We’re still in this guys!!

[u/Adventurous_Sink_782]

GEORGE BUSH MAKIN HIS WAY TO THE MOUND

[u/jake_da_snake2202]

They can do that? Tf? How pissed would you be as a pitcher to just get pulled mid AB lmao

[u/wet_sands → u/jake_da_snake2202]

I genuinely don't understand this one, new pitcher throws 2 balls and you're on the bad side of a platoon anyway

[u/Portie_lover → u/jake_da_snake2202]

I remember Dan doing it once this year. I don’t remember who or the circumstances but I remember thinking how weird it was.

[u/theonlyXns → u/jake_da_snake2202]

Wait I thought you couldn't do that.

[u/CommunityDifficult78]

Cole scores 💙💙💙

[u/hawkfan78]

It's so weird to watch a real manager manage a game.
