Last year the Mariners got Castillo & Kirby in the all star game. This year early returns could point towards Gilbert & Miller being all stars. Would be crazy to have four starters make the all star game within a two year stretch

As for the offense? Right now nobody…

They’ve also done this against the BRAVES, DBACKS, RANGERS (three of the better offenses in baseball) as well as Rockies in Denver (bad team but hitters ballpark)

Thank you Jason M for the shout out!

Now for a #Mariners focused young podcast

(by young I am meaning college age or younger, or just starting out. So when I use that term, that's what I mean)

NW Sportscast is a podcast covering Seattle sports, I've been enjoying their vids & recaps a lot!

Check them out!

Mariners postgame vs the Braves! 5 STRAIGHT SERIES WINS! youtu.be/eeTuozSiKBs?si… via YouTube

POSTGAME after the WALK OFF WIN

youtu.be/KfPmtsdeC44?si…

Three positives:
1. The Garver walk off was amazing, and the bat flip. How about that bat flip!!

2. Bryce Miller is a DAWG

3. Austin Voth, after a leadoff single from Kelenic, struck out Acuna, Riley, & Albies in order. He’s our 7th best reliever, and struck out three all ⭐️s

MARINERS WIN ON A GARVER WALK OFF!!!! 2-1 is the final!

Player of the game: Bryce Miller, 7 IP, 10K, 1 ER, 1 BB. He was disgusting tonight as usual.

Standings update: 16-13, 1st in AL West (1 ahead of TEX, 3.5 ahead of OAK, 5 ahead of LAA, 6.5 ahead of HOU)

Haggerty returns, starting in LF. He’s the 5th Mariner this season to start in LF. Urias in vs the lefty Fried, and Garver moved up to cleanup. DMo back at SS

Top contenders for #1,000 include

- Carlos Vargas (if a reliever gets hurt)
- Blake Hunt (if a catcher gets hurt)
- Gregory Santos (depends on how fast he recovers)
- Ryan Bliss
- Mauricio Llovera
- Tyler Locklear

We gave Clase 7 games. He didn’t look ready. Stats weren’t terrible, but the kid is 21. He needs to be playing everyday & until a more regular spot opens up for him in SEA, using him as a platoon/pinch runner is not helpful for him

Now it’s Haggerty vs Rivas for the last spot

Postgame after the close loss

youtu.be/kF8UzVcdjcU?si…

Three positives from today:

1. Another Rojas homer!

2. Leo Rivas tripling in his first AB was cool to see!

3. Speier did a great job working out of a jam on the 7th inning!

Mariners lose 3-2, Thornton takes the L.

Player of the game: Logan Gilbert, who went 6.1 IP, 2 ER, 9 K!

Standings update: 15-13, 1st in AL West (0.5 ahead of Texas, 3.5 ahead of Oakland, 5 ahead of LAA, 6 ahead of HOU)
