October 3, 20214 yr Jfc. I’m heading to ACL shortly, mainly because I feel like I’m jinxing us by watching.
October 3, 20214 yr Author I will be hanging with it all game. Not sure how much will get to post or not
October 3, 20214 yr Welp, I’m checking out. Should be a fun season next year. Hopefully I check back later and we made a ridiculous comeback.
October 4, 20214 yr Hell of a season for the Mariners. Going into the season I thought they had a bright future with a lot of young talent but weren’t there yet; but I was wrong, they arrived early and still have some serious talent that hasn’t bubbled up yet. I expect the Astros to take a bit of a step back next year (probably losing Correa, Altuve/Brantley/Yuli all a year older, etc.). I’d expect HOU/SEA/OAK to all be fighting it out again next year. (And hell, with a healthy Trout and Rondon and Ohtani, the Angels won’t be pushovers either.)
October 4, 20214 yr Glad the Red Sox and yanks won so it was all moot. Next year baby. For real maybe?
October 7, 20214 yr Author Quote Mariners Promise Fans They’ll Be Back To Finish 2022 Playoff Race In Even More Heartbreaking Fashion SEATTLE—Comforting the city after having their hopes dashed in the final week of the season, the Seattle Mariners promised their fans Wednesday that they would be working hard to finish next year’s playoff race in even more heartbreaking fashion. “We know this was tough, but this was just the beginning; you haven’t seen the last of this team getting your hopes up before dashing them in the most painful possible way,” said shortstop J.P. Crawford, who claimed Seattle has all the pieces in place to be a perennial soul-crusher in the AL West. “You have not seen the last of this team. I’m sure people thought it was tough finishing just two games back like we did, but I assure you we could possibly do that next year by blowing a 5-run lead in the 7th inning of the final game, or even a walk-off home run in the play-in. That’s our promise to Mariners fans.” At press time, Mariners ownership announced plans to slash $20 million in payroll for 2022. https://www.theonion.com/mariners-promise-fans-they-ll-be-back-to-finish-2022-pl-1847811871
October 7, 20214 yr Author I laughed. In hopefully good news: Hoping getting as close as they did means Jerry gets to open up the check book and not just do bargain hunting this off season.

October 7, 20214 yr Author Come on now, fellas. They've admittedly been in a rebuild, which by all rights seems to be going pretty well all things considered. Let me have some hope in the winter.

November 3, 20214 yr Author Adios Kikuchi Quote Yusei Kikuchi To Decline Player Option, Test Free Agency By Mark Polishuk | November 3, 2021 at 3:29pm CDT Mariners left-hander Yusei Kikuchi has told the team that he is declining his $13MM player option for the 2022 season, according to The Athletic’s Corey Brock (Twitter link). The southpaw will now enter the free agent market after three seasons in Seattle. As per the unusual structure of Kikuchi’s contract, the Mariners had until Friday to decide whether or not to exercise four years’ worth of $16.5MM club options for the lefty covering the 2022-25 seasons — effectively, a four-year/$66MM extension. If the Mariners declined to pick up those options, Kikuchi could then opt into the 2022 season via his $13MM player option. Today’s news indicates that the M’s have indeed passed on those four option years, which isn’t a shock considering the inconsistent nature of Kikuchi’s 2021 season. However, earlier reports suggested that Kikuchi would exercise his player option, making his decision to hit the open market something of a surprise.

November 10, 20214 yr Author Wonder if possible work stoppage is going to fuck up all these potential signings. Would be a totally Seattle experience.

November 28, 20214 yr Author We sign Bryant, and I'm getting a Mariners Bryant jersey, period. If not, the fall back will be a Toro jersey. Maaaybe Haniger, but The Bull is such a good name.

November 29, 20214 yr Of course I fully expect him to be injured and/or completely nosedive once he gets here. It's the Mariner way.
November 29, 20214 yr Author Hey, we signed a top free agent pitcher. That's more than anything they did in some time. Also, I don't like Heyman, and he could be full of shit, but still:

November 29, 20214 yr Author Yep. Per Divish this one signing is the largest Free Agent contract since Dipoto got here. ABOUT GD TIME!
November 29, 20214 yr Author I do kind of wish the Rangers would shut up and quit making giant signings though.
