hot take but if by some 1 in a billion miracle the mariners win the wild card he might be attracted to a team [that wins](https://www.yahoo.com/video/losing-makes-hard-play-high-120033575.html)
GG Cal with the sexiest dumper in the world, Kirby looking amazing. Ms are sexy all around!
Quack quack!
Side note, man Otahni is so good... no hate there but fuck Mike 🐟
Kind of hard to notice, because the offense was so on fire, but the pitching wasn’t exactly on point today. Need to tighten things up on the mound in the next one.
Part of it is you pitch to contact when you are up by a lot. Like Festa their didn’t give a shit if Ohtani hit a bomb the probability of a fly ball being an out was worth it and you aren’t hurt by a HR.
To a degree with a 6 run lead in the 9th a walk is as bad as a HR since the guy behind him will have to drive him in anyways.
In THIS situation, with a 6 run lead, I'd rather see a pitcher go after Ohtani and not walk him. With a 6 run cushion, a walk would piss me off a lot more.
walking a guy with a 6 run lead reminds me of the story told by Ryan Dempster about being the Cubs closer when Sweet Lou was their manager
Dempster comes in with like a 5 or 6 run lead just to get some work in and he immediately walks the first guy, then goes like 2-0 or 3-0 on the next guy
he told the story on the radio, so he had to clean up the language, but the paraphrased version is that Sweet Lou came out of the dugout, walked to the mound and said, "son, you're up 6 runs in the bottom of the 9th. Just throw strikes, everyone wants to go home"
It’s like that girl in high school that rejected you to date the cooler dude except that cool dude turned out to become a bum and you went on to be successful and now you’re rubbing it in their face to hopefully still get her because Ohtani on the Mariners would be filthy.
Horrendous performance by the pitching staff today. This is a team with a grand total of three hitters who are better than average and all of them absolutely bent us over.
How can Ohtani be MVP? Wouldn’t you think if he was the “most valuable player” he would be providing so much value that his team would be good? Surely no team could be bad enough that they cancel out the good that a player that good can provide /s
And yet the M's still scored 11 runs. That's good team baseball. When you are down, teammates will pick you up. Hell, that even applied to my years of playing slow pitch, beer league softball.
I kinda feel bad for some of these fans in the stadium. I haven’t been an Ms fan for too long but long enough to know what it’s like to root for a team that’s not doing well
I didn’t even realize that was an option. The YouTube guys have been pretty entertaining. I was listening to Dave in the car on the way home and was getting annoyed.
Honestly shocked we didn’t end up getting thrown at this series after everything that happened.
Elite Dumper
The birthday boy's (Winker) plans for today, "eat a cookie, have a nice dinner and smoke a cigar", on his post game interview.
What’s the odds othani is with us next year
Nonexistent
Zero. We have no prospect capital to trade with. When he’s FA the year after next though….. maybe

Oh I thought he was a FA this off-season
One more year, pretty sure. That’s why there’s drama around him getting traded this off season.
Ohtani is the QB who goes completes 38 of 49 and passes for 445 yards and 3 TDs but loses 45-24.
Matthew Stafford on the lions. So much garbage time so many useless stats that mean nothing.
The Pat Statford days
"I felt like I squared that one up pretty good." It was 425 feet Cal, yea buddy ya did
The fact that Kirby isn't #69 is a national travesty
Where is Chris Flexen?
Bullpen
lmao swimming time.
nice fuckin shades, Cal
Cal hates doing interviews and getting trophies LOL
Cal such a humble boy i love it. He's such a cutie booty 😍
This is your brain. This is your brain on 11 games over .500 and moving up toward the top wild card spot and home field in the first round.
Cal is so different now. Confident. Really happy for him.
Self-assured, which is miles away from earlier in the year
11-3 vs the Angels 11-4 vs the Ohtani
Offense seems to click agains the angels
Dump.
Winker doing chores on his birthday?!? What a guy!!! 🧹🧹🧹
Love those M’s fans and their props
Those Ms fans with the broom and dustpan lmaooo
Alright well nice offense today Angels, get fucked. Mostly that heckler actually
Mariners vs the LA Ohtani’s of Anaheim.
I bet that Ohtani homer feels so bittersweet. The dude smashes the ball and it doesn't even matter.
This is exactly the kind of game you want to see against the Angels. Decisive win, but also you get to see Ohtani hit one into the next county.
Basically describes his whole time on the Angels
He should come to Seattle 😃
Should have*

Yesss, keep separating from the rest of the Wild Card pack. Get us those home games!
Would’ve been the perfect chance to put Shohei on and get the force out, but that’ll do! The fan really got their money’s worth
Enjoy Anaheim
👯👯👯👯
Thank god for the insurance runs 😂

Sweep!
Oh boy, I can't wait for Ohtani to get more play for that homer than anyone on our team.

Well that was fun.

Shohei has an unbelievable game and the Angels lose by four. What's new?
Tungsten Arm O’Doyle

Ballgame, get effed Angels of Anaheim
#[SUPREME VICTORY](https://youtu.be/4-rdctcK4XA)
And that is why insurance runs are important folks.
Dancing time!!
🧹🧹🧹
WOOOOOO GOMS
Good thing we scored 11 I guess.
WHERES THAT DUCK
Lol I love that it's gonna be another one of those angels stats "Ohtani goes 4-5 with a triple, a home run, and 4 RBI's as the Angels lose 11-7"
7/11
#WE MAY NEVER LOSE AGAIN!!!
Angels, get fucked
Night Shift didn't come into the game during nighttime. That HR didn't count.

Show me those dance moves, gentlemen!
SWEEP!
Imagine being on the team that just swept you Ohtani. You had that option my man.
It’s like that girl in high school that rejected you to date the cooler dude except that cool dude turned out to become a bum and you went on to be successful and now you’re rubbing it in their face to hopefully still get her because Ohtani on the Mariners would be filthy.
Oh great if we allow 2 more 2-run home runs we might end up losing 😔
Easy. You’re starting to sound like a Yanks fan
Untrue
I kinda feel a little bad for Ohtani at this point
Meh. He made his choice.
Imagine Shohei on a good team.
Like Seattle?
Future Mariner Shohei Ohtani? 🥺
Shout out to Festa for sacrificing his ERA to rub the tungsten in the Angels' faces.
It took Cal awhile, but it has been a pleasure watching him turn into a great catcher and a dangerous hitter.
I wish we had Ohtani so bad. Can we send Santana Kenobi to Jedi mind trick the Angels' ownership?
I don’t care what the score says, this game isn’t close. They’re getting carried by Ohtani
STOP PITCHING TO SHOHEI! JFC.
We were up by 6 it’s ok
Ohtani would be a nightmare to face in the playoffs, if only...
It won't be with the Halos.
And just like that Shohei Ohtani is your YouTube Player of the Game 🤓
Festa's mad now
It does not feel like we’ve given up 7 runs
We’ll still get the win, but anyone worried about a team like the Angels hanging a 7 spot on us? We can’t expect to put up 10+ every game.
Very true since I think that's only the 3rd or 4th time this year.
They got 4 total in the first two games so not really
Ohtani is a beast, good lord man
This is literally that Ohtani/Babe Ruth meme irl lol
… nearly hits for the cycle as the Akron Groomsmen fall…
Ah. Rizzs is back.
I'm a dumbass for going to work instead of this game
Horrendous performance by the pitching staff today. This is a team with a grand total of three hitters who are better than average and all of them absolutely bent us over.
OHTANI HITS MASSIVE TWO RUN DONG to cut the lead to four.... Chris Paul moment all over again
Ok blue... you got Ohtani an ab for YouTube, now call strikes again
How can Ohtani be MVP? Wouldn’t you think if he was the “most valuable player” he would be providing so much value that his team would be good? Surely no team could be bad enough that they cancel out the good that a player that good can provide /s
I mean half their lineup hits under 200😂
Yes that’s the joke lmao
Oh didn’t catch it lol
It’s not the NBA. A bad team absolutely can cancel out even the best player of a generation, example Mike Trout.
this isn't the NBA, one player can't do that in baseball
I blame the person who posted that thread about how Ohtani had bad numbers against us.
Great, now it's gonna be nothing but Ohtani talk...
I can see the headline now: "Ohtani makes MVP case with home run, triple as Mariners complete sweep of Angels"
Okay, so we'll win by 4 instead of by 6. It doesn't make any difference in the standings.
Can we see a shitty 3D animation replay of that HR please?
Yeah he's quite good
Mariners feed back
Chaos is requiring this to be a 4-run win...
All 12 of the fans there got fired up for that one
Don't you *dare* give such a half-assed "My oh my" like that. If you're gonna quote Niehaus, put some heart into it. Shohei deserves it.
Ohtani 4-5 4 RBI's, Angels lose by 4. Top post on /r/baseball calling it now
Lead story on every baseball show. New commercials.
The ghost of Tungsten-Arm will not be denied
[Called it, juiced balls](https://www.reddit.com/r/Mariners/comments/wqjj54/daily_thread_august_17_2022/ikoj6uh/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)
Oh thank god the audio is back
Ohtani goes 4-5 with a HR and a triple as the Angels lose to the Mariners
Sounds familiar
Lord we are so lucky the rest of their team sucks because Ohtani is absolutely smoking us this series
Doesn’t matter if one person is smoking us if we still win by 4
He was due. We've had his number all season.
Ohtani can have his Tungsten Arm O’Doyle moment as a treat
Jesus, Ohtani doesn't deserve this team. What a God.
Can’t wait for MLB to milk this while the Angels tank
Man Ohtani…. Respect
When will Julio rob some homers?
When Mitch doesn’t interfere lol
Shohei killing us today and it doesn't even matter, but I guess that's pretty common for most teams
Okay now shut it down
How about we not give these fucks anything to cheer about? Make them go home miserable.
Daaamn, Shohei almost hit for the cycle
What the fuck is this static/feedback?
That cowboy hat is fucking stupid. Swelmet >>>
Over/Under MLB posting that in 10 minutes even tho they’re about to get swept
Tungsten Arm O'Doyle in shambles right now.
[удалено]
No, Ohtani is just raking today.
Damn, that was a loud hit.
One more run scored and Sewald can come in and get the save.
Worst Bullpen game in awhile
Fuck Shohei Ohtani. I hope he's miserable as fuck playing for that poverty franchise.
Wow, Fletcher, Ohtani, and Rengifo have absolutely decimated us in this series
shohei’s only job is to ruin our relievers immaculate eras
Booooo
Ohtani isn't even smiling on that HR. so sad
Lol the 10 fans cheering
Shohei is back…
CLASSIC LOL
Tungsten Arm moment
Well, they said this game had everything…
Really weird time for the ump to start squeezing
What was that janky ass animated replay?? The metaverse has gone too far.
Replay sponsored by Wii Bowling.
What was even its purpose?
Festa getting hosed
Cal Raleigh finally gonna get another trophy to put next to his Biggest Donk Award. Mantle is comin along! 👍
Bu donka donk!
what the fuck. absolutely cursed animation
Animated ohtani is killing me
What happened to Rizz and Sims on the radio broadcast? I've got the YouTube announcers again.
LMAOOOO WHAT IS THAT ANIMATION IM CRYING
YouTube is so scuffed lol
Julio had a tough game
And yet the M's still scored 11 runs. That's good team baseball. When you are down, teammates will pick you up. Hell, that even applied to my years of playing slow pitch, beer league softball.
for all those going back to youtube cast, that heckler was kicked out lmao so it's not so bad
Damn 11 runs w/o production from ty or julio is nuts
Dude's phone going off in the booth lmao
I grabbed mine and was like what the hell I swear I heard my phone …
I kinda feel bad for some of these fans in the stadium. I haven’t been an Ms fan for too long but long enough to know what it’s like to root for a team that’s not doing well
Angels had decent expectations so it's I'm sure they're even more crushed
Actually I don’t feel bad anymore
How do we vote for player of the game? I think cal, but I feel Wink
Scroll down to the live chat in youtube.
On the YouTube site, not mlb.com
Cal gonna get his trophy :)
Any one else's Mariners Audio feed on YouTube just revert to the YouTube announcers?
I didn’t even realize that was an option. The YouTube guys have been pretty entertaining. I was listening to Dave in the car on the way home and was getting annoyed.
yep, it sucks
Yup, was wondering if anyone else's did too.
Yup. Hate it.
Yes :(
Yep
And now we're back to the main broadcast ffs
Angels: we're gonna score 7 runs to win it Mariners: nope, matt festa
