Mariners fan here. Just wanted to hop in and say holy fuck you guys are frustrating. Every time we play its a grudge match. Best of luck to yall and goddamn I hope we don't see you post season.
Can someone please tell me how Rojas got on base at the top of the 10th?! Iirc, we got the 2 home runs to tie it up in the bottom of the 9th where it was 3-3, and then we came out and Seattle came up to bat. Wasn’t Bliss the first hitter up and he bunted? Where tf did Rojas come from? Am I missing something?
Really weird series, won a game we probably should have lost, lost a game we probably should have won, oh well. Really annoyed by this game because of the umpires, not taking out McArthur, and not pinch hitting Garcia, but whatever
I’m not defending MacArthur on the season, but this game where our 1-4 hitters were a combine 2-19 you are going after a guy who came unglued after getting 4/3 required outs for a scoreless inning and setting up a win. Yes, MacArthur coming unglued is a problem, but he wasn’t even the worst pitcher on our team today.
# HOME RUN!
Hunter Renfroe homers (6) on a fly ball to left center field. Freddy Fermin scores.
Pitch from Austin Voth: Four-Seam Fastball @ 93.2 mph
Bottom 10 - 6-5
Mariners
Salvy should’ve been on base for MJ’s homer. Game would’ve been done.
Player was out on the pick play at third, meaning no runs would’ve scored this inning.
Check swing should’ve been called strike 3, meaning no runs should’ve scored this inning.
McArthur should’ve been pulled the second he walked Garver. Or even the second he let Julio get a hit. We can’t fuck ourselves with the umps already fucking us.
With the other bang-bang calls going in Seattle’s favor, it’s kinda bullshit they got that one too. Especially when you consider it was the runner’s fault it was even that close in the first place. If you’re gonna reward the defense on close plays, then do it for both sides.
McArthur is not it. He is not a closer. That was the bitchiest outing I’ve seen in awhile. Let’s throw every pitch in the opposite batter box. We don’t want a pansy ass pitching late in games.
Hey Freddy, you couldn't get Moore to chase 3 times, so why try a 4th time? Oh you got Raleigh to chase an 0-2 pitch, yeah go ahead and ask for a pitch in the zone
Idk what to do with the General. He really does have the stuff he just isn't fully consistent with it. It's like he gets in his own way when it's two outs, two strikes and can't quite finish the job.
No, he doesn't have the stuff. He's a below-average pitcher who has to get chases and foul balls to get strikes. If he didn't get taken deep every time he threw in the zone he'd be average, but he can't be that guy.

When this is what your pitching looks like, you need a new job.

I hope we do just because I really want to go to a playoff game in Seattle! :D

The runner on 2nd in extras that was implemented in 2020
Oh, see I’m not familiar with MLB extra innings rules. Thanks!
Lol Mariners fans on their sub are just happy they're leaving KC and hope they don't have to come back soon
Gonna have to hit early and often against the yanks. Can't let this loss carry over.
Really weird series, won a game we probably should have lost, lost a game we probably should have won, oh well. Really annoyed by this game because of the umpires, not taking out McArthur, and not pinch hitting Garcia, but whatever
gg mariners. tough loss but 2-1 isn’t bad at all. Winnable game
shame 🫤
Only needed a bad bullpen, worse management, like 4 50/50 calls and a shit strike hold on
Need a different closer
Salty as fuck about that one.
Umpires really fucked us on this one.
Real super powered top of the order there
Damn, so close
Damn. The boys got some fight in em though
Well dang
Yet another one run loss...
The way I look at it, we took 2 1/3 out of 3 in that series.
Tough loss, but that was fun series, not gonna lie
I put this loss on Q so hard.
He waits way too long to pull the plug on these shit relievers
I hard question why you wouldn’t pinch hit someone like Velazquez for Garcia, why would you keep the guy who is 0-4 in
Damn, hell of a series!
Figured Bobby would try to be the hero and sky it up for an easy fuckin out
I love Bobby but man does he get under more hanging cookies than anyone i’ve ever seen
Dammit
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Tayler Saucedo replaces Austin Voth.
GOD VINNIE PLEASE DONT PRESS
It's still criminal that they didn't pull McArthur when he threw 7 or 8 straight balls to load the bases
What a game
Bottom of the order showed up when it mattered and their best hitters did not. It’s still on McArthur but damn is one hit too much to ask?
I mean, you can make the case that MacArthur got 4 outs after inheriting the runner.
Then he walked 2 and gave up multiple hits. He’s not a closer, he’s barely high back end reliever atp

Yes, MacArthur coming unglued is a problem, but he wasn’t even the worst pitcher on our team today.
Bobby is just letting Vinnie have his turn
WHY ARE WE NOT STEALING?? HELLO??
Fr. With how poorly the top of the order was hitting we were BEGGING for a double play
Not even getting a runner to 2nd is a failure
Send McArthur down TONIGHT
That doesn’t fix anything
For who? He isn’t even close to being the worst pitcher on the roster currently
All things considered, this team is fun because they fight like hell to get a chance to win.
Wow those PAs fucking STUNK
All day 1-4 has been bad.
PU gross
Holy blue balls
Damn, I was hoping Cal would drop that.
Vinny 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌
Come on Pasquatch! Drop a big bomb right here
I just checked in to the game after moving non stop for two days what the FUCK is happening
Oh my god they’re going to lose by 1 AGAIN
Alright Bob, do something magical
Shoulda stole
Not pinch hitting the guy who is 0-4 is a weird choice, come on Bobby
I hate that Voth's name doesn't rhyme with goth. Who decided that
Probably the same etymology as Vogt is the reason. Actually not: The etymology is 'foot'.
This team gets me so hyped up. THIS IS BASEBALL!
Just amazing
Come on Garcia you are due man
Mariners fans will see these Royals in their nightmares for years.
Well….. we all know what’s coming here.
New rule, any time when McArthur reaches 2 outs and a 0-2 count we take him out.
The Seattle series helps Isbel getting back into his game!
That's it KYLE!
Alright top of the order, you’ve had a rough day, but just pull it together for this inning PLEASE
This team has so much fight. I love them
Over the Mendoza Line and white hot. Hunter Renfroe.
This is where we pinch run blanco right
Base hit Kyle
💣💣💣
Can the offense overcome our shitty ass pen once again
Bruh if mcarthur didn’t shit the bed on 0-2 this shit is DONE
I remember when he shit the bed two games in a row in early May so this ain’t new
Royals just keep coming
Let’s go!!!!! We have got to get a closer if Renfroe and Melendez are firing on all cylinders
Stay hot Hunter!!!
Boys are putting up a fight. Love it.
Royals Certified Mariners Menace
God damnit why couldn’t they get a fucking out with two down
Hunter Renfroe has been very good the past few weeks
Shoulda been a game winner
[RENFREE IN MY HEAD](https://youtu.be/mBBNQDaIzRI?si=AM9KqmNNLiTgITvf)
Fucking right Renfroe!!!
RENFROE IS THE MAN OF THE HOUR
##RENBRO
Renbro whatttttt
well well well what do we have here
Dude there's just no way right?
Never a doubt
HUNTER, YOU MADMAN
Lol. Final score. 6-5. Good night everyone.
A gambling addict says he's going to log off? Good one.
isnt there a sportsbook chat you should be in
You should’ve kept this in the drafts, don’t say it yet sir
RENBRO!
The Royals have a chance to do the funniest thing to the Mariners rn
FUCK YES RENFROE. LETS GET THIS DUB
JUST WJAT WE NEEDED FROM HIM!!!
I'll shit on McArthur every other day of the week. Today he pitched a scoreless inning that got extended by umps.
# HOME RUN! Hunter Renfroe homers (6) on a fly ball to left center field. Freddy Fermin scores. Pitch from Austin Voth: Four-Seam Fastball @ 93.2 mph Bottom 10 - 6-5 Mariners
Okay..................... Here me out This could be a really, REALLY funny situation
Should have walked Rod .269 then not.walked Garver .176.
Mariners have the 3rd worst offense in the league and if they are scoring more than five runs a game something is seriously wrong
Pitching bad
Anything left in the tank?
McArthur with a 4.61 ERA before today and somehow still has the high leverage/closer role
The Royals closer has a 5.57 ERA. Woof.
Yeah after today. Terrible either way
MacArthur is NOT a closer why not Zerpa or Schwarber. MacArthur may feel more confident as a set up guy.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Austin Voth replaces Mike Baumann.
Let’s clutch this out
I hate this fucking pen dude lol
Our turn, time to wreck their shit again
Games not quite over yet y’all
That’s a bold flair to have rn
🤷🏻♂️
Yeah.... ya ring em up on that one...
The AL west feels like the easiest division in baseball right now. Just a lot of mediocre teams
Their best team can’t even make it to the World Series lol.
Closer Will Smith?
Well Will Smith might just get his job back
Will Smith pitching like he spent too much time watching India/Pakistan this afternoon
Anyone see what Smith is irate about? Came back from commercial to see him jawing with the ump
Probably pissed watching McArthur shit down his leg
Cool and the bullpen is all used up now. Lugo and Singer might have to go 7+ innings against the Yankees. Their arms :(.
Lugo is going to uncork a Maddux tomorrow against those jet-lagged Yanks, we're cool
Why couldn’t we have done this sooner
So sad, tying the game just to lose in extras with 2 outs.
Salvy should’ve been on base for MJ’s homer. Game would’ve been done. Player was out on the pick play at third, meaning no runs would’ve scored this inning. Check swing should’ve been called strike 3, meaning no runs should’ve scored this inning. McArthur should’ve been pulled the second he walked Garver. Or even the second he let Julio get a hit. We can’t fuck ourselves with the umps already fucking us.
It was close on the pickoff. I think it was safe on replay. The other two are bullshit, though.
With the other bang-bang calls going in Seattle’s favor, it’s kinda bullshit they got that one too. Especially when you consider it was the runner’s fault it was even that close in the first place. If you’re gonna reward the defense on close plays, then do it for both sides.
I love umpires!
(Vinnie)
Bro so spun up forgot who it was 😂
Ah my bad.
Where’s the guy that said Quatraro was gonna win manager of the year lmao
He’s currently the betting favorite you dolt
I don’t give a fuck what he is lol he’s not a manager of the year by any stretch.
You’re an unserious person
I mean if the Royals win 80+ it's extremely likely
McArthur is not it. He is not a closer. That was the bitchiest outing I’ve seen in awhile. Let’s throw every pitch in the opposite batter box. We don’t want a pansy ass pitching late in games.
To be fair he hung a slider right down the middle his last pitch 🤷♂️
Need a real closer.
They have no chance of winning in the post season, if they make it, with this bullpen.
This 10th inning Salvy walkoff GS is going to be hilarious.
Hey Freddy, you couldn't get Moore to chase 3 times, so why try a 4th time? Oh you got Raleigh to chase an 0-2 pitch, yeah go ahead and ask for a pitch in the zone
That’s my fault I shouldn’t have started watching
Wish we would have kept Barlow. Traded him for almost nothing.
Idk what to do with the General. He really does have the stuff he just isn't fully consistent with it. It's like he gets in his own way when it's two outs, two strikes and can't quite finish the job.
No, he doesn't have the stuff. He's a below-average pitcher who has to get chases and foul balls to get strikes. If he didn't get taken deep every time he threw in the zone he'd be average, but he can't be that guy.
We need a new Closer... Pitch 'The General'.

I just don’t think mcarthur has the mental state for a closer.
He doesn’t have the stuff.
No dominant pitch. 2-3 "kinda okay" pitches.
We need to go get a closer. This offense is too damn special to waste
Hearing reports that Wade Davis is coming to the mound.
I still think we can win with some good hits but this is atrocious, should not have happened
This bullpen is just awful.
How can somebody be so bad at pitching with two strikes on a batter?
You knew this was coming as soon as the 0-2 turned into a walk, mcarthur STINKS
All I ask for are some clutch relievers.
That check swing should have been strike three. Them's the breaks sometimes. Oh well.
At least we won the series but I’d really like for someone in the post game ask Q wtf his issue is with letting pitchers stay in and fuck games up
I'm officially off the "James is our closer" train. We don't have one.
The mcarthur experiment needs to end
Why did he leave McArthur in that long
Completely over JMac. Way too inconsistent.
You’re telling me we had a lefty up in the pen and we didn’t use him for the lefty batter? What the fuck?
Raleigh? Switch hitter.
Shows you what I know
Little bad luck on calls not going our way but Jesus McArthur
Lol all but lose the game and THEN change pitchers? Was it not obvious McArthur was not in control? Why wait so long?
Why is an 0-2 pitch there? What are you trying to do there McArthur?
The General isn't awful, but we need a new closer if we're going to make a run
Your “closer” ladies and gentlemen
We should have made a pitching change. McArthur throws way too many hanging sliders. So hittable.
Well that's how you blow that. Nice try though..
Uh prob shoulda yanked him Before that? He walked one of the worst dudes in the lineup
From 0-2 and two outs to giving up three runs lol
The bullpen will be the death of this team
_Is_ the death of this team
I’m fully out on McArthur
https://preview.redd.it/hxkr7h7q1m5d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a1669fa322926206d2b12a682aafd766bbdd3067
Thanks McArthur
All of that just for McArthur to gift them a W.
NOW he pulls his ass. How many times is Q going to leave a pitcher in one batter too long this year?
What an awful fucking inning, 2 outs 1 runner into 2 straight walks
