I was admittedly inspired by this @RyanDivish piece, so I went and asked Buster Olney of ESPN if the high workloads are a reason for the M's struggles, or an excuse? #RefuseToLose #TridentsUp #Mariners

At this point? I'm sorry, I think I'm rooting for the Astros to just bury the Rangers. I know it would cost the M's the division, but if the M's can't bury Texas themselves, they'll need help.
The Mariners are also only two ahead of the Rays, though they appear to have the second tiebreaker on them also.
None of this truly matters if the M's are going to play like this, but the Royals still have hard matchups with Toronto (3) and Philly (3), in addition to 3 with the Mariners and 4 with Cleveland. They are done with the White Sox.

For those scoring at home, the Royals won, and the #Mariners now lead them by just 2 games in the WC. M's still up only 1.5 (though with tiebreaker) on Texas.
About to record today's #RefuseToLose podcast... Will be out in the morning and in addition to my thoughts on this #Mariners crisis, you'll hear from Matt Brash, Eduard Bazardo, Emerson Hancock and Buster Olney of ESPN. #TridentsUp

Mariners 2024 Draft pick Evan Truitt will take the mound for the @EverettAquaSox tonight against Vancouver. Last weekend, I sat down with Truitt to talk about his first full season in pro ball, the ways he has grown and improved as a pitcher & more. ⬇️
This is the best uniform combo outside of the throwbacks, no notes.

I'm on my way back from Tampa and in the airport for another 30 minutes or so. Would anyone be interested in a #Mariners AMA? Am I even popular enough for such a thing?

As always, I appreciate those who followed the coverage here from Tampa. The refuse to lose podcast is back Friday, we all need an off day. See you then.
George Kirby says he didn’t try to hit Josh Lowe.
The media just got trolled by some mascot named Raymond who brought a broom and swept in front of us, and I’ve reached the low point of the week, somehow.
It's the 9th inning, and you'd think maybe Harry Ford could get. an at-bat here, but I don't see him with a bat.
Harry Ford is on the field, warming up Suacedo. Leo Rivas is now playing 3B and Eugenio Suarez is playing 1b, which is new.
Adrian Houser just hit Dom Canzone in the back, and both sides have been warned. Josh Lowe was hit by Kirby earlier.
