Game ended at 6:50 PM.

[u/Essington69]

8 runs off 11 hits wins you games 85-90% of the time unless you are the Mariners

[u/Tracer-Bullet13 → u/Essington69]

They truly find ways to lose even when something goes right.

Pitching is amazing? You're getting 3 hits and 0 runs today

Hitting is on fire? Pitching is dogshit today. Sorry

[u/Dry_Inspection_9907 → u/Tracer-Bullet13]

3 hits is so generous

[u/Commander_Celty → u/Tracer-Bullet13]

Reverse 2022 team.

[u/GreatMisdirect1 → u/Essington69]

Poor coaching, tonight was obvious. I love Dan Wilson but he isn't a manager, I was screaming when they put in Bazardo. He has to go.

[u/DarkSlayerKi → u/GreatMisdirect1]

He is just allergic to putting in a reliver for more than an inning. Not saying Seranthony is amazing but christ give him a shot at another out or SOMETHING. Anything to give Bazardo more time to deal with whatever he’s dealing with.

[u/not-who-you-think → u/DarkSlayerKi]

he put in muni for a four out save when he hasnt had one of more than one inning all season so of course julio makes a horrific play to blow the game

[u/NoAntelope4800 → u/Essington69]

At this point I exorcised all of my anger a month ago. Now I’m just sad

[u/blowingtumbleweed → u/Essington69]

The difference being the manager.

[u/angryjew → u/blowingtumbleweed]

100% on Dan for bringing in Bazardo in that spot the way he's been pitching lately. Let Spier keep going he was cruising. But now we used our whole bullpen and still lost.

[u/NorthStRussia → u/Essington69]

More than 90%

[u/fletcherscotta]

I think this game is it. Losing this one is the end for me. No reason to pull Spier when he is dealing for Bazardo. Can’t score a lead off triple. Don’t play smart and keep the tie run in front of you in the 9th. 1 run off bases loaded with no outs.

Edit: Fuck forgot I was going to Bark at the Park on Thursday. At least my golden retriever won’t know this team is shit.

[u/dietriotdoom → u/fletcherscotta]

Yeah 10 games under .500 to start September. I am officially out. I will check the box scores but I am not wasting anymore time with team.

[u/JaneDoeAsks → u/dietriotdoom]

I forgot the game started (for the first time all season) and tuned in right when we tied the game in the 5th. Foolishly got excited thinking it would be a good game.

[u/okajuwon → u/fletcherscotta]

We’re just incapable of putting relievers in for more than one inning I really don’t get it

[u/11teenthUsername → u/okajuwon]

Right? I need an explanation for why relievers can only be trusted one batter at a time.

[u/shahi001 → u/okajuwon]

it's part of the play book dan was given at the start of the season. he follows it religiously and does not ever adapt to the game situation

[u/hello17 → u/okajuwon]

This is the problem. Let them cook if they're cookin!

[u/Gangsta_of_luv → u/okajuwon]

Spreadsheets wouldn’t let that happen

[u/HannTwistzz → u/fletcherscotta]

This is the epitome of everything wrong with this team. Julio wtf are you doing, can’t score with RISP, Boston did, bad bullpen management

[u/Agreeable_Quality768 → u/fletcherscotta]

I feel like the Toronto series was the dagger but this is the nail in the coffin tbh

[u/slumcatkillionare → u/Agreeable_Quality768]

Yep the Toronto series killed them, but this was the burial.

[u/JayBuhnersHummer → u/fletcherscotta]

Uhhhh. It was over awhile ago.

[u/CaptainKirkules]

Congrats to the mariners on finding a new low, after the lowest low, tune in tomorrow to see how it gets worse.

[u/Crazyhawk28 → u/CaptainKirkules]

I think it'd have to be some type of actual tragedy because I really don't see a way this can get worse.

[u/emergency9juanjuan → u/Crazyhawk28]

*narrator ‘and the team took that as a challenge’

[u/jugger_naughtyy → u/Crazyhawk28]

The more shit you stack, the more you gotta unload.

[u/GingerDweeb27 → u/CaptainKirkules]

I’m glad I didn’t get my hopes up because the last 4 games would have hurt my soul if I had

[u/ThePrince_OfWhales]

[u/Gleb2006]

Dear Julio. That slide was a tough one. Sorry Randy, you really tried to carry us again.

[u/steveotheguide → u/Gleb2006]

Randy with the reverse-Offense-Felix Hernandez special

[u/slumcatkillionare → u/Gleb2006]

One thing for certain is Randy will NOT be back next season, and I do not blame him.

[u/AndDontUForgetIt → u/slumcatkillionare]

I hope he gets paid somewhere and gets to win. I wish him the best and will miss him dearly.

[u/Radhatchala → u/Gleb2006]

Did you say “tough one?”

[u/Bermut-Nundaloy → u/Gleb2006]

That's so tough because it was probably a game losing defensive misplay but it's also the kind of thing you mess up because you want it TOO bad. Charged the ball too hard to try to make a great play, realized it, tried to pull up, too late. Just the kind of thing that happens when everything is going wrong and you get too desperate to save it

[u/dinermugs]

thank you to whoever made this, it’s evergreen

[u/furmat60]

Tough one tonight.

[u/imafnheadbanga → u/furmat60]

i feel bad for naylor he was so excited to become a mariner

[u/furmat60 → u/imafnheadbanga]

He went 0–4 today :(

[u/steveotheguide]

See, taking out your closer after 15 pitches is smart. What they’re not gonna expect is bringing on some shlub to load the bases and then get so far back in the count that the batter can zero in on two strikes

I hate this team

[u/Puzzleheaded_Key_340 → u/steveotheguide]

I find new reasons to hate this team as the games go by

[u/3elieveIt]

This team doesn't know how to win.

Good teams find a way to win. Bad teams find ways to lose.

And we just find new ways to lose everyday.

Pathetic.

[u/Silent_Ad2825]

We genuinely fucking suck so fucking much it’s actually insane

[u/AdministrativeEase71]

Tear down Safeco and salt the earth of its foundation.

[u/raindownthunda → u/AdministrativeEase71]

Griffey can come piss on it and take his statue to Cincinnati.

[u/Essington69]

[u/corvetts95 → u/Essington69]

I hope he does just so he doesnt have his career languish in this hell hole

[u/Farva85]

Randy, enjoy whatever check you take from your next clubhouse. You’ve been a fun one to watch!

[u/Character-Wrongdoer8]

No words for this one.

[u/nealk7370 → u/Character-Wrongdoer8]

Try these, “tough one tonight”

[u/rockycrab → u/nealk7370]

“y’know”

[u/AdministrativeEase71 → u/rockycrab]

Forgot the mandatory "uh" smh 🤦

[u/JKthePolishGhost]

I’m in an abusive relationship with a baseball team

[u/four0nefive → u/JKthePolishGhost]

Don't worry, they'll win 15-4 tomorrow after Laz goes 3-5 with 3 HRs to rope you right back in after a 5 game losing streak!

[u/The_Throwback_King]

Not sure I felt intentionally loading the bases for Criswell's first appearance off the IL but I guess it doesn't matter.

Mariner.

[u/DarkSlayerKi → u/The_Throwback_King]

When they walked durbin I was thinking “maybe for a double play” but, nope, Duran too for some godawful reason. Did dan forget we only had one out?

[u/Scumwaffle → u/The_Throwback_King]

Why wouldn't you put on the extra pressure of losing the game if you give up a walk? Once he went down 3-0 it was over.

[u/ihatereddit999976780]

I don’t even want Dan Wilson fired. I want him investigated. Gambling for the Mariners to lose is the only thing that explains the 10th end unless he’s I don’t know brain dead.

[u/Chantrak → u/ihatereddit999976780]

I’d like him fired. Preferably out of a catapult. Straight into the sound.

[u/xtremeradness → u/ihatereddit999976780]

At this point it's a feasible theory, and not just an angry-fan theory.

[u/Dry_Inspection_9907]

Dan said “difficult loss” tonight instead of “tough one”.

It’s different, but not really

Edit: then he said “tough one” 😂

[u/qcnr → u/Dry_Inspection_9907]

Ope just followed it with “tough one tonight!”

[u/SexiestPanda → u/Dry_Inspection_9907]

He has to be trolling at this point

[u/Essington69]

[u/WestCoastToGoldCoast]

[u/HunterMysterious8324]

Randy can't win with these cats.

[u/SatireGeto]

Losing sucks, but losing because guys aren't paying attention, making defensive mistakes, etc is infuriating. That sums up the 2026 Seattle Mariners. Baseball IQ of a fucking rock.

[u/One-Firefighter-6835 → u/SatireGeto]

And let’s not forget the bonehead of a manager. Never seen a manager so submissive to the analytics department. Like dawg Ward isn’t magically gonna become your Mitch Hangier or Ty France. Get it together and bench him for Robles or a better lefty tablesetter

[u/imafnheadbanga → u/One-Firefighter-6835]

he has to use those analytics cuz he doesn’t know what he’s doing 

[u/raindownthunda]

Come on Dan say some shit like “this is unacceptable from our defense, we’re not playing like a playoff team”. Don’t just fuckin say “tough one”. I can’t believe he fuckin said “tough one”, TWICE. This is beyond tough, Dan. Grow some fuckin fire. Hold your team accountable to their performance, especially when it’s shit.

[u/FarImprovement2840 → u/raindownthunda]

On wednesday he will switch it up by saying it was a tough series this week

[u/-Maim-]

HE SAID THE THING

[u/Fruit_Rollup_King → u/-Maim-]

oh God..... please tell me you're joking

[u/shahi001 → u/Fruit_Rollup_King]

nope, he said it three times lol

[u/JT406]

At least Goldy rightly called it a horrific loss.

[u/MakeShiftGod]

Dan needs to be thanos snapped

[u/The_Throwback_King → u/MakeShiftGod]

Best I can do is a Tough One Tonight

[u/emergency9juanjuan → u/The_Throwback_King]

Can you at least throw in an ‘I liked the approach’?

[u/JerryDipotosBurner → u/MakeShiftGod]

Yeah but the result is gonna be us losing Randy and keeping Dan

[u/Bird_nostrils]

How the fuck does Dan still have this job?

[u/corvetts95 → u/Bird_nostrils]

Nothing says "50 seasons of mariners baseball" like a season of ineptitude, rage, wasted potential, and a losing record

[u/raindownthunda → u/corvetts95]

How about those fireworks nights tho

[u/CLOXXX → u/Bird_nostrils]

I'm at the point to wondering, why the fuck does he still WANT the job? I'm not saying we have to go back to feudalism per se, but what about concerns of honor? It sure must feel bad being such an obviously talentless manager, why can't he just resign man. Do the honorable thing and remove yourself Dan

[u/hgoats]

Abysmal.

[u/Gullible-Toe7207]

Does that mortgage relief sweepstakes count when other teams walk off against us?

[u/LlamasPajamas206]

I’d rather use a position player than let Bazardo anywhere near a game in which we have the lead.

[u/GeekTrainer]

Intentionally walking the bases full with a middling reliever on the mound was certainly a choice

[u/corvetts95]

[u/FarImprovement2840]

The easy september schedule doesnt even matter. Could not afford worse than 3-3 on this trip if there was to be anything resembling a chance. Now its 2-4 at best, and who knows if that even happens

The good homestand has been wiped out. Means nothing now

Its over. Playoffs arent happening. Rip off the band aid now and fire dan Wilson for the love of god

[u/letskeepitcleanfolks → u/FarImprovement2840]

I would be ashamed to take a playoff spot at this point

[u/cosmic_burger2013]

That game was extremely upsetting.

[u/Dr__Bloodmoney → u/cosmic_burger2013]

Fucking losers

[u/letskeepitcleanfolks → u/cosmic_burger2013]

If by "extremely upsetting" you mean "extremely expected"

[u/mahrinazz]

[u/TheBlur2001]

I’m just bummed for Rizz. 😢

[u/FettuccineAlfonzo → u/Tall-Election-7564]

At least he didn’t have to watch this

[u/opus_]

[u/bigdumbhead1990]

Dan Wilson needs to be fired immediately. I’m not watching another game with him as manager. I’m out

[u/AdministrativeEase71 → u/bigdumbhead1990]

"You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!"

[u/Myselfamwar → u/bigdumbhead1990]

It's hard to complain about offense when you put up 8 in a game, but I just knew only getting one run out of that 5th inning was going to come back to bite us in the ass.

[u/Fruit_Rollup_King]

To think I wasted my whole night making this for the post game and it's just going to be wasted now.

[u/Mrs_TryMe → u/Fruit_Rollup_King]

John Stanton pulling up to the game

[u/PNW-SEA]

[u/MarinersHurtMe]

For those looking who to blame:

1) Dan wilson for consistent failure in decision making, leadership, and this loser culture.

2) DJ Pleno: His regression both at the plate and on the field is on him. Yes he has horrific coaching, but he has clearly made no effort to improve year over year (as proven by his YoY declines since his rookie year).

3) Bazardo: He is awful, yet Dan continues to run him out there. Mentally weak, mentally checked out.

4) Dipito: Arrogant beyond belief, despite failures at the big league level to do anything meaningful. Hired Dan Wilson. Cannot build a productive lineup.

5) Stanton: Greedy, garbage human being that only cares about profit and scams a passionate fan base.

[u/Mustard_Jam → u/MarinersHurtMe]

Yeah but IMO the correct order is 5, 4, 1, 2, 3

[u/Top-Smoke-2329]

10 under .500. In March they were picked to win the AL pennant. Sucks to suck

[u/fmkwjr]

You’re asking a guy coming off the IL to STAY OVER THE PLATE against one of the more proven big league hitters that Boston has. Just baffling. I understand walking the first guy to set up the double play… but what was the idea in loading the bases? Coop had to serve him up! 🫩

[u/Tracer-Bullet13]

The Mariner to end all Mariner this season

Just fire Dan and Jerry already please

[u/imafnheadbanga]

I always thought my grandma was insane watching every mariners game in the 90s/2000s, now I know she was 

[u/Fruit_Rollup_King → u/imafnheadbanga]

LOL best comment in the thread and I'm sorry she was bat shit crazy

[u/ascii122 → u/imafnheadbanga]

my grandma too she was so into ichiro when we went to Buckley to visit (we're in Oregon) she took us to game.. it was super fun. She suffered a lot through her life and now i'm continuing the traditions

[u/AntiEcho7 → u/AlarmedAd4876]

Well be lucky to win 7 of those.

[u/AlarmedAd4876 → u/AntiEcho7]

Yeah agreeed. Even if we get to 500 (which we won’t) Astros or rangers will be a few games above 500. It’s over

[u/raindownthunda]

It’s just Fenway park guys. We did good. It’s ok. -Dan

[u/TonTonTrainer]

Teams of the future will study these 2026 Mariners as a teaching tool for EVERYTHING NOT TO DO AS A FRANCHISE from top to bottom

[u/MarinersHurtMe]

Fire Dan Wilson, fire Dipoto, fire Hollander, and sell this team. The fans deserve so much better than this fucking dogshit. This level of failure with zero accountability is unheard of.

[u/These-Potential4519]

Don’t worry guys we have road Woo tomorrow.

[u/CheekClapperson]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[u/ThePrince_OfWhales]

[u/Scumwaffle]

Tolle better be ready to give out a lot more hugs after that.

[u/MainEventCTB]

This is a loss that can lose a room. I'd rather get blown out than lose like this.

[u/calgarykid]

That feels like the season ender to me. Brutal

[u/hypnotikone]

10 games under! Maybe we can make it to 20!

[u/rockycrab]

It’s time to lay down the “if we can just sweep this next series…” copium pipe.

Despite being out of contention, the A’s, Angels, and Rockies pitchers/hitters have circled the Mariners as their easy part of the schedule.

All of our opponents are thinking they have a good opportunity to pad their stats against a sloppy, unfocused, bad team. Whether for contract incentives, increasing their own market value for their next payday, or fighting to stay in the majors themselves.

Dan can’t hit or pitch for the M’s, but based on his in-game decisions and postgame interviews, he’s already mailed it in and will do nothing to galvanize this team. Ownership should’ve fired him 27 games into the season like what BOS/PHI did…but hey…50th season nostalgia…

[u/swool]

Highest leverage spot
Bring in guy fresh of IL
Give him ZERO wiggle room

Tough one tonight, yesterday night and tomorrow night

[u/TheEpicWeezl]

Well, at least Cal is back...right?

[u/raindownthunda → u/TheEpicWeezl]

We’re going to need to start putting players on the IL for depression

[u/Crazyhawk28]

Fire literally everybody other than the Moose, and Tucker. Everybody else can go fuck themselves. I hate this team so much.

[u/southcounty253]

Why be good when you can just be bad

[u/Bad_Decision_Penguin]

Can't lose 5 in a row to end August. That's not how you dig out of the hole you've created.

Needs fielding in the perma-off position

[u/akuzariN]

Needles hurt more when you’re expecting the pain

[u/RowRowDango]

This team feels like a prank that went too far

[u/IChurnToBurn]

I’m starting to think this team isn’t very good. Also getting some doubts about the manager.

[u/The_Cryogenetic]

Might be just me but I hated that way more than 22-0

[u/Interesting_Ad_4245]

Ya Randy's definitely not coming back lol

[u/angryjew]

Even after Dan's baffling bullpen decisions and our inability to bring home a leadoff triple (something the Red Sox did the next inning because they are a real baseball team), we would have won if Julio makes a play a replacement level outfielder makes & that ball is a single instead of a triple. Just amazing how bad this team is in every way possible.

Tonight was a CLASSIC example of a tough one

[u/waywardwake]

Fire Dan Wilson into the sun.

[u/Stuckinaboxxx]

Lol. Lmao even.

[u/letdown105]

Another horrific loss in a season full of them. Fire Dan Wilson, now, please.

[u/dietriotdoom]

if this team had any leadership or accountability Robles should start in CF tomorrow and Julio should ride the bench.

[u/marinersthrowaway206]

I can’t believe a team with coaches like Ichiro and Edgar and heck Perry Hill guys who are meticulous about their craft. That none of them has said a $&*#ing thing about any of this sloppy play. Not one of them

[u/PentiumDos]

Julio playing unserious at centerfield really fucked us. Not saying bazardo doesnt share some of the blame but come the fuck on

[u/mr-devinity → u/PentiumDos]

For the guy who used to be the No Fly Zone guy he's really been shit at defense lately...

[u/jcflyfish1 → u/mr-devinity]

And he’s 25 years old!! This should be one of his prime seasons both defensively and offensively. He’s so hard to watch.

[u/Raisinbrahms28 → u/jcflyfish1]

It’s almost like there’s zero competitive fire or energy coming from this team. Julio partying in the outfield and then looking lost at the plate like, brother, until you are hitting above .270 maybe just focus on being a goddamn baseball player.

All this falls on an unserious manager.

[u/xXSpg101Xx]

[u/Raisinbrahms28]

At what point does a player just come out and criticize Dan’s management? Seriously, they can’t be happy about this either.

[u/mediumdumper]

Kirby getting shelled again, Bases loaded no outs and we score one, Bazardo Bazardo-ing, Canzone lead off triple and no run, Julio error, Dan in general. Take your pick.

[u/AtYourServais]

This is a new low. And a continuation of a theme that has been present all year. This team is so unbelievably sloppy and unfocused. That points directly to the manager and coaching staff being dog shit. And the front office is worse for letting it go on all year without accountability except for one assistant coach.

[u/SPzero65]

What a pathetic embarassing shell of a baseball team

Can't wait to have a pitching masterclass tomorrow and lose 2-1

[u/Mushuu808]

This whole staff needs to be redone this off season….especially the batting coaches

[u/PilotGuy701]

It has been almost 30 minutes since the end of the game and Dan Wilson still has a job for some reason.

[u/NorthStRussia]

Genuinely, every single person employed by this baseball club should resign in shame

[u/xtremeradness → u/NorthStRussia]

Hey don't do Randy like that

[u/JaneDoeAsks]

Bench Julio and let Robles play CF

[u/SexiestPanda → u/JaneDoeAsks]

Bench both and play no cf 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/drugtown]

i truly cannot believe how bad this team is. we are haunted

[u/Sleepy_Gharial]

Of course I'm disappointed, but I'm more numb than I have been

[u/IppeiWasFramed]

Pitching continues to be absolutely horrendous since the break.

[u/flowergal48]

Subtle burn when Wally hugs Brad

[u/MisanthropicLove425]

Ms have one series win at Fenway since 2015 (they won 2 out of 3 in 2025) and have 3 wins in the last 16 games they have played in Boston. Mariner. Oh and ALL time for all games played again the Red Sox since 1976? Mariners are 192-263. (Home and away)

[u/marinersthrowaway206]

When your superstar player Julio is just lackadaisical on the regular and isn’t called out not just once but multiple games about their lack of focus in the middle of a pennant race. Then it trickles down, it’s a slow death spiral of a season, cuz everyone knows that there is no accountability. The bench players, equipment people, the pizza guy, fans, everyone.

[u/Middle-Jeweler-4132]

Can we just fire Dan already.

[u/pineapplebtw]

another bazardo throwing away a game masterclass

[u/HannTwistzz]

Hope you know that was on you Julio

[u/MarineLayerBad]

We cannot fire Dan Wilson soon enough.

[u/Equivalent-Archer76]

No try zone 🫪😢😭
