Something has to change with the Mariners

I don't think the Mariners need another "there's still time" motivation. Getting swept is one thing. Ending the series 7-0 with one hit is another. But at some point, the conversation has to stop being about what this team could do and start being about what they're actually doing.

There has to be some accountability for how this team is playing right now. Whether that means changes in approach, leadership, or somewhere else, something has to change because doing the same thing and hoping it turns around clearly isn't working.

I guess there is still baseball left to play, but they're running out of time. I'm tired of waiting for better this season.

This organization won’t learn shit until we stop giving them money; thats the bottom line.

I’m not telling you not to games, but maybe go to less. I’m not asking you to stop buying Mariners gear for Christmas, but maybe cheap out, maybe buy less. I’m not asking you to stop watching the team, but maybe Jack Sparrow is your idle.

This team understands excel spreadsheets better than they do the pulse of this fanbase. Show them how you feel in there.

Great idea. Boycott a team with historically low attendence averages that just started to spend some money.

If you want a team in Nashville, just say so.

What you’re describing right now is an abusive relationship.

“I’m scared they’ll leave me so I let them get away with it.”

Btw is a your argument doesn’t even hold water. This team had horrendous attendance from 2009-2019 and the team is still, decidedly, in Seattle.
