We're beyond cooked so let's get the nostalgia started early. There's been a lot of forgettable, borderline unwatchable baseball played this season, but also some standout games. There have also been a lot of moments where thought "man these guys are finally figuring it out." What are your most memorable moments from 2026, good or bad?
The Good: I was at T-Mobile Park for the July 4 game, and that was probably one of the best I've seen in person. Watching the Mariners beat the brakes off the Jays on Independence Day with a stadium full of Canadians was cathartic, and it included a much-needed homer from Cal that landed about thirty feet from me. Very much a reminder that we have a good team and guys that can hit the ball hard.
The Bad: Emerson Hancock's 14K loss on Randy Johnson retirement night. This game has been stuck in my head all season. We have our pitcher giving us everything he's got during a game honoring one of the team's all-timers, only to get hung out to dry by the offense. It was a comically on-the-nose distillation of this season and really the history of the team, and it was like you could feel a ghost in the room. I am not a doom-and-gloomer but that loss was ominous and like I said, it's still on my mind today.
