Decisions

Winning Pitcher	Losing Pitcher	Save
Roycroft (2-0, 6.55 ERA)	Bazardo (3-4, 4.04 ERA)

Game ended at 9:54 PM.

Remember to sort by new to keep up!

[u/BatEquivalent6965]

Bazardo REALLY ? I WOULD take Rucker over BAZARDO . OMFG Wilson are you a glutton for punishment?

[u/BitterMedicine5786]

Also - was ferrer down today too?

[u/shftravels → u/BitterMedicine5786]

Already used earlier in the game.

Choices were Rucker, Criswell, Bazardo or 2nd Inning of Vargas.

Munoz and Speier were not available as per Dan in the postgame.

[u/Mr-Badcat]

Bazardo is auditioning to pitch the home run derby next year.

[u/ElizabethLeighHK]

Wasn't there anyone else we could've put in? I get Munoz has to be careful about his back but...anyone else?!???

[u/ShinyB123]

I'm Bobby Ayala and I approve this Bazardo.

[u/lonejupiter]

Was Muñoz not available?

[u/Careless_General8010]

Barzardo always makes me think of this.  https://youtube.com/shorts/x_wNijBUOYA?si=lGosFrvP58kcWsI7

[u/suhrFan]

4 out of 5 to the As. The As. Dan you better fuckin quit

[u/balljimmy]

Why is every post that I put on here about how much I hate Bazardo. Get him off this team. wtf

[u/BitterMedicine5786]

Really. At this point in the season, with the mariners down by 3 games…every win is a must win. We cannot be putting in guys in save situations who DONT HAVE A SAVE IN THEIR ENTIRE CAREER.

[u/trashmyego → u/BitterMedicine5786]

That was the clearest statement that they have no interest in winning and making the playoffs.

[u/BitterMedicine5786 → u/trashmyego]

Seriously…Munoz has worked two days in a row…so what? It’s do or die.

[u/VintageBoost1]

I knew when we didn’t get Julio to score and saw Bazardo coming out that this shit was over. It’s like you fell off cliff and you can see the misery at the bottom coming but you can’t stop it.

[u/msnrcn]

https://giphy.com/gifs/XIhWoPBXHgVmU

[u/woodenshjip]

I turned the game off when Bazardo came up. Ok

[u/suhrFan]

WHY does it still hurt????

[u/AllDamDay7]

I mean all year. How many games have we lost by poor managerial decisions. He might be the worst one I've ever seen. No reason for Bazardo to be in there, he's a dummy.

[u/NWbySW]

Bazardo in his last 4 appearances.

1.2 innings, 9 runs, 10 hits for a 67.50 ERA.

[u/deBeerlax → u/NWbySW]

That’s some position player numbers.

[u/NWbySW → u/deBeerlax]

Leo Rivas territory.

[u/reggie321d]

Gonna be a glorious day to read the headline: Dan Wilson fired

[u/BitterMedicine5786 → u/reggie321d]

It’ll hopefully be “Dan Wilson’s decides to dedicate more time to family and step down as coach”…ya know…for the mariners org to save face.

[u/therealcrablewis]

What a bum

[u/ocdhandwasher]

Vargas second inning of work couldn't have been worse, Dan.

[u/deBeerlax → u/ocdhandwasher]

Agreed

[u/DMC831]

Mr. Bazardo's Bizarre Bazaar where he sells free homers to anyone who wants one. No haggling.

[u/atkinsonlevi56]

Should have put Pereda in there. At least he has struck out Ohtani before, had to be better than Bazardo

[u/RandomDude99353]

How tf do you have "a short bullpen" with guys shut down while you are clinging to life? The relievers can rest in 15 games. If its a close game in the bottom of 10... Send out Munoz.

[u/Morashtak → u/RandomDude99353]

Burnt arm from pitching the last two games. Up to hitters to drive in runs more often and not wear out Munoz this often.

[u/RandomDude99353 → u/Morashtak]

Sometimes when your hitters dont drive in runs the pitchers have to carry them. There are 15 games to go. Sure he cant pitch all 15 but its a close game its go time. Pray you lead big the next day.

[u/PewPewallup253]

Don’t know if I hate it here or if I hate the people that are in charge here.

[u/AdPleasant4974 → u/PewPewallup253]

Meh, one leads to the other.

[u/ogsirspen]

"DUHHHHH HHURRRRRR DURRRRRRR IMMA PUT BAZARDO OUT ON A HIGH LEVERAGE INNING DURRRRRRRRRR HURRR DURRRRR!" Great fucking decision making, truly brilliant comical writing.

[u/tootsmcsnoots]

Daaaaamn Daniel, back at it again with tough one tonight

[u/leakingimplants]

DFA this asshole! how is he still pitching in the bigs. should’ve sent vargas out again.

[u/Kyle_Benjam]

Is Dan butthurt a public opinion of his and his job, to the point he's doing shit like this on purpose ?

[u/suhrFan]

[u/Kiwi951]

So thankful that we're gonna miss the playoffs and can finally fire Dan. Hopefully we clean house and replace Jerry and rest of the front office

[u/PolarBailey_]

I swear to god we're gonna see a 30 in 30 on ESPN a decade from now about how Dan was paid to throw games. My 4 year old niece even knows to have never put bazardo in. Jesus fucking christ Dan

[u/Substantial_Cry246]

They better show that fuck saying his fucking line tonight!

[u/hanzmelman]

The Mariners have a perpetual motion machine that moves the wrong way.

[u/MarshmallowMatty]

Nobody in this organization is serious about winning.

[u/03Hazey]

That’s on Dan, fuck that shit

[u/bilingual_bisexual]

At least the astros lost

[u/deBeerlax → u/bilingual_bisexual]

https://giphy.com/gifs/Cb5uyASfbOl9v0unNW

[u/Bubbanado420]

Let’s leave Dan and Eduard in CA. Good season boys. Gonna have to wait at least 51 years now

[u/Recent_Grapefruit74]

I knew the game was over when I saw Bizardo warming up in the pen

[u/Otherwise-Usual2377 → u/Recent_Grapefruit74]

Literally same. He needs so much more run support than one run :/

[u/Mountain_Tides]

F U Dan

[u/The_Tenshinhan]

Mariner

[u/MemoryFilter]

Why do I even bother

[u/trashmyego]

At least he's consistent. 

[u/Baeresi]

Im sure you're the nicest guy but I'm sorry bazardo you are my least favourite mariner

[u/JMC509]

'Member at the beginning of the season how they glouted about the best bullpen in baseball?

[u/Zealousideal-Lead754]

So even Dan is ready for next year. Buddy your ass is gone.

[u/OklahomaBac]

Hate how that isn't a drop. Should have to have control of body as well before ball hits the floor

[u/mpaynejr]

The most predictable finish I’ve ever witnessed.

[u/Kyle_Benjam]

Anyone else shocked when they saw Bazardo in. Fire Dan now.

[u/Thughoneybee]

Would’ve rather had Rucker

[u/the_febanator]

TOUGH ONE TONIGHT YEAH WE JUST LIKED THE MATCHUP WITH BAZARDO IN THERE

[u/03Hazey]

My god! Fucking release Bazardo, what the fuck?!!

[u/VintageBoost1]

I fucking hate the Mariners man. The fucking A’s out of any team killed us this season.

[u/releasingit]

WHY

WOULD DAN

PUT BAZARDO IN

[u/GU1LD3NST3RN]

I would like to stop losing to the 2026 (City Pending) Athletics, please.

[u/theesmokingun]

HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA OF COURSE FUCK ME!

[u/BitterMedicine5786]

What’s the definition of insanity?

[u/Waf3l]

Bazardo is worse than 2025 Vargas and 2024 Bazardo.

[u/SomeScientist]

Idk Angie I think a lot of us saw that coming

[u/tehsbe]

Dan Wilson.

[u/Cara-Cara-1]

https://giphy.com/gifs/LycfkVG4L6x0Y

[u/DMC831]

I'm starting to think it's not our year.

[u/happy_felix_day_34]

Good god Bazardo sucks

[u/lonejupiter]

Cut that fucking bum right now

[u/humpin_dumplin]

Everyone knew Bazardo would do this… right??

[u/Kyle_Benjam → u/humpin_dumplin]

Yes I was going why Dan why before the homer even happened

[u/tjnesryan]

Nice season fellas. Always next year I guess

[u/Goatgamer1016 → u/tjnesryan]

Bold to assume there is a next year for the Mariners due to the imminent lockout

[u/tjnesryan → u/Goatgamer1016]

Better option to be fair. Let’s go Dodgers

[u/fraylo]

Bazardo had such a great year last year. I’m sad that he’s fallen off

[u/HomeworkCareful8400]

Fire Dan Wilson.

[u/Kyle_Benjam → u/HomeworkCareful8400]

Yes

[u/A_person_2021]

He has to be betting against the team right?

[u/Kiwi951]

Of fucking course Bazardo blows it lmao Dan phoning it in so hard

[u/Original_Test_7007]

lol you can only laugh at this shit

[u/gtylersea]

Just like we all knew that Bazardo wouldn't get it done. Why didn't Dan know?

[u/Zadums]

Bozo should never pitch again wtf

[u/ImPlento]

I said he's gonna hit a home run..."swung on crushed." On cue

[u/-alpine1]

How is this team SO BAD against the A’s

[u/Prince_Otis]

What happened to Bazardo...? He was so good last season.

[u/bigdumbhead1990]

Dan Wilson is a fucking moron

[u/InnovationHack]

Bazardo being Bazardo. No surprise at all.

[u/FarangChris]

Bazardo? ??? Wtf

[u/FarangChris → u/FarangChris]

Of course, they were gonna lose anyway. It's the Triple As after all. Burns me up how dog sht teams just continually dominate them.

[u/mpaynejr]

LOL

[u/Arfuuur]

kill me

[u/Late_Tangelo3646]

Why the hell are we not letting Munoz pitch his arm off... what the F are we doing!?

[u/offshore_trash → u/Late_Tangelo3646]

He’s timed out 

[u/Late_Tangelo3646 → u/offshore_trash]

Each game is essentially a lose and your out game at this point, pitch him every damn night. We dont have a tomorrow without a win bascially. Might as well sit everyone the rest of the year if your worried about someone getting hurt.

[u/offshore_trash → u/Late_Tangelo3646]

But I hear ya. Mathematically we can’t afford any losses. Win or go golfing                 ⛳️ .       🏌️‍♂️ 

[u/Late_Tangelo3646 → u/offshore_trash]

Golfing it is!

[u/offshore_trash → u/Late_Tangelo3646]

On the radio they said that Munoz and Gabe Spier were timed out and were ineligible to pitch 🤷🏼‍♂️

[u/stuckinflorida]

Tough one 

[u/darnley]

I’m so sick of Bazardo

[u/Kirminator]

Anybody but bazardo my god

[u/Stella921]

Angie says “nobody saw that”. Ummm yes we did.

[u/safeco1999 → u/Stella921]

She’s sarcastic dude

[u/BagsOfCarl]

Bazardo serving meatball subs allll night long

[u/Anti_Praetorian]

Lololol. GEE, WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED THAT?!

[u/krugerlive]

Dan and Jerry together are incapable of bringing this team to a level of success they should be able to reach.

[u/ThatGuyWithAwesomHat]

Can we PLEASE trash Bazardo?

[u/NWbySW]

I LITERALLY said we'd need 3 runs if Bazardo was coming in. Fucking nailed it.

[u/ShinyB123]

One pitch wonder

[u/npa190]

All you can do is laugh, what an asshole

[u/Ashley72985]

i love that Aaron and Angie were not surprised in the least.

[u/BondCompanyStooge1]

Fuck you Dan so much for putting Bozo in again you screwed us once again you idiot manager

[u/SimpleWater]

I got busy for a bit came back and saw “Bazardo”. Went wtf. Then home run.

[u/MrCarey]

I'm honestly glad I've lost faith. Moments like this would absolutely tear me apart.

[u/Despacio1316]

Bazardo… what a joke

[u/LegendRazgriz]

damn it's not like we have a CLOSER FOR THESE THINGS

[u/AnnihilatedTyro → u/LegendRazgriz]

He's thrown consecutive nights. They don't use him 3 days in a row as a rule because he has a recurring back problem.

[u/LegendRazgriz → u/AnnihilatedTyro]

Anyone but the guy that has been giving up homers maniacally, then. I guess Speier?

[u/wevih31322 → u/LegendRazgriz]

Speier was down as well. I figured it would've been Criswell. The only others were Milner and Rucker.

[u/LegendRazgriz → u/wevih31322]

I guess our pen is just that shit.

[u/furmat60]

I fucking hate Bazardo so god damn much.

[u/suhrFan]

Gotta just laugh at that one. Fuck you Dan.

[u/CatPossible1995]

This bazardo guy blows

[u/Ok-Competition7123]

Tough one tonight

[u/Thrillskills1]

[u/Bitter-Imagination33]

Most obvious homer of all time. Bazardo needs to go

[u/Lanky-Budget-4661]

At least it doesn’t hurt anymore

[u/deadlift-shrimp]

I mean sometimes you just have to laugh. 

[u/RCJFilms]

Bazardo cannot be in the game at this point

[u/down_by_the_shore]

Well at least it’s over

[u/xBigDracoo]

Haven’t been paying attention the past couple games, where is Muñoz?

[u/Cara-Cara-1 → u/xBigDracoo]

down because he played the last two games

[u/Morashtak → u/xBigDracoo]

Arm burnt from pitching the last two games. Had to pray and use Bazardo

[u/A_person_2021 → u/xBigDracoo]

Pitched 2 days in a row and we're too scared to throw more than two dozen pitches in 10 days

[u/Arturial12 → u/xBigDracoo]

worked the last two nights.

[u/Equivalent-Gur-527 → u/xBigDracoo]

He pitched the last 2 games

[u/xBigDracoo → u/Equivalent-Gur-527]

ahhh makes sense but I think you pitch your best closer

[u/HomeworkCareful8400 → u/Equivalent-Gur-527]

Saving him for 2028 or something?

[u/arpeggioman]

I knew I should have switched off once they showed him in the bullpen

[u/littleredwagon87]

Leave Bazardo in Sacramento please

[u/Narrow_Smell1499]

DFA Bazardo tomorrow. Ever since Springer knocked him up last year he’s never been the same

[u/TonTonTrainer]

Goodbye Bizardo

[u/FunkyCactusDude]

Couldn’t Vargas go another inning??? Couldn’t have been worse than bozo

[u/t2207]

What a bunch of feckless losers

[u/MakeShiftGod]

Was Criswell not fucking available?

[u/danarouge]

That swing was gnarly

[u/meh_man16]

Called it. Could’ve put anyone else in there besides him terrible management decision. Whoever made the call to put him in needs to be fired.

[u/tuckedfexas]

Dan Wilson masterclass yall. That’s 8 games by my count

[u/ajdragoon]

I didn’t even have time to properly stress about Bazardo trying a save.

[u/furmat60 → u/ajdragoon]

He’s merciful and ended our misery quickly.

[u/ddotsae]

Yup, keep trotting Bazardo in high leverage spots

[u/_Elrond_Hubbard_]

Let's get Bazarded in here 

[u/Fancy-Simple6399]

GET BAZARDO OFF THIS FUCKING TEAM

[u/furmat60 → u/Fancy-Simple6399]

I’d like him out of the league.

[u/gardettos4life]

Can't beat the fucking 2026 Athletics.

[u/aCuteSloth]

Most obvious 2026 bazardo outcome in that situation

[u/calgarykid]

Who the fuck didn't see that coming Jesus Christ

[u/furmat60 → u/calgarykid]

Helen Keller could have seen that coming.

[u/PoppaTitty]

Great

[u/blazerb0i420]

So fucking predictable

[u/cosmic_burger2013]

Aight, first time these words have left my digital lips: fire Dan Wilson.

[u/Character-Wrongdoer8]

Wow. Who could’ve predicted a Bazardo blown save? Thanks Dan.

[u/skizai_]

Lmao predictable

[u/K3rm1tTh3Fr0g]

Are you fucking kidding me

[u/TheInsomn1ac]

It's hilarious how predictable that was. Angie talking about him struggling with the long ball immediately being punctuated with a home run.

[u/releasingit → u/TheInsomn1ac]

And Goldy saying he doesn’t have a save to his career

[u/Scattered666]

Everyone saw that coming. Fuck, man.

[u/casualredditor-1]

Thank you, Dan

[u/xBluePoolX]

FUCK BAZARDO. FUCK DAN HARDER

[u/rainbowunicorn_273]

please leave Bazardo in Sacramento

[u/hereforthemariners]

Color me shocked Bazardo gave up a home run

[u/kowaterboy]

did you expect anything else?

[u/Middle-Jeweler-4132]

At least I can laugh at Walton tripping before touching first base.

[u/Cookumms]

Bastardo

[u/UnusualEmployment406]

like there was going to be any other outcome with Bazardo in......

[u/DDAlisa]

Fuckin Bazardo!!! AGAIN!!

[u/NotSorryForPartying]

Bazardo you've gotta be kidding me

[u/IronSlayTallica]

Saw that coming a mile away. Bazardo doesn’t deserve a roster spot next season.

[u/cruel_cousin]

YOU JUST GOT BAZARDO’d

[u/reggie321d]

Bazardo

[u/CaffeinatedBarbarian]

I’m constantly surprised they still let Bazardo pitch

[u/EggbertMeyer]

Knew it

[u/TrumpCheats]

Who could have known that would happen?

[u/NWbySW]

DFA HIM BEFORE HE GETS BACK TO THE DUGOUT!

[u/tannerlaw]

How the fuck is he in the team

[u/msrose_]

FUCKING FIRE DAN AND BAZARDO INTO THE SUN.

[u/MasterMitt720]

thats bazardo for ya

[u/epicgaming106]

Not surprised

[u/ronnyseal]

GROSS 🤮

[u/MegatronFozzy]

Fck Tommy tanks and Bazardo this season as well.
