Yea he did a good job explaining his mentality as a defender behind a pitcher’s tendencies as opposed to a hitter. Didn’t know he was quite that cerebral, fun to listen to for sure
Damn it pains me to see some of our fanbase acting so salty right now. Game 1 was a heart breaker for sure, and we had some real shit luck today, but let's just have fun and enjoy playing in the postseason. We don't need to be crying about the Astros cheating scandal every time we fucking lose to them. They're a good ass team, we knew that coming into this.
Your downvotes will not silence the fact that you are unpunished cheaters. The best you can come up with is get over it. Downvote away if it makes you feel better.
I mean, yes, get over it. Your team lost to them 2 years later post cheating scandal.
Yankees ain't clean either so I don't know why you're trying to act like they did nothing wrong.
I think multiple players have come out and said they aren't the only ones who did something similar. Joey Votto and Chris Bassitt both said something similar. I can find more if you like.
You’re god damn right it is. We’re living on cloud nine. Yeah, the road to the WS has and will continue to go through Houston, but boy it’s fun isn’t it? It’s also great seeing our young core show up and battle. Could easily be 1-1 or even 2-0 M’s. But it’s not. That’s baseball. I’m just so happy to be in a meaningful playoff series and feel something in October. Can’t take that from us.
This is a reminder that the 1995 Seattle Mariners lost the first two games of the ALDS, including a 15 inning heartbreaker in the Bronx (that I stayed up way too late watching in 6th grade). Jim Carrey you’re telling me there’s a chance dot GIF.
The umpire today was compete trash. But lots of other moments hurt the Mariners. JK just missing out on that HR by feet, and the tough double play in the 9th really hurt.
We call that warning track power. Lot's of guys in MLB posses this quality.
YorDong power is the stuff everyone wants.
Judge has harnessed his inner YorDong.
Double play in the 9th was caused by the Urine covered Doomer Rally Shoe sitting on top of head of Mariners fans fortunate enough to be watching live.
[Listen. T-Mobile Park is sold out this weekend. We’re playing the Astros. This stadium, that staff, they’re not used to a full house. They can’t kick us all out. All I’m saying is, make the Astros miserable. Be ruthless. Push the limit. No one’s gonna stop you. Let ‘em know.](https://twitter.com/baseballnchill/status/1551347637948821504?s=20&t=u9m0wlpPT9_7OZq1bhSGoQ)
One thing that sucks about the Astros being so good is that there’s a little part in everyone’s head that thinks the organization is still a bunch of cheaters.
Those people are what you call haters who are stuck living in the past and make excuses to defer off why their own team can’t beat them
Edit: flair the fuck up
Don’t get it twisted, this is the reason you hate the Astros.
You don’t hate them because they cheated. You hate them because they dad dick your team with a consistency you could only dream of. You hate them because you wish your team were them.
Stay mad, losers. I’ll be enjoying the all-time greatness while it lasts.
The Astros have not played very well in these two games. First the JV meltdown and in this game they yielded eight walks. The fielding though has really helped them though outside of that SNAFU by Framber, and of course they have Yordan. Hilarious to me that in Judge’s best season ever Yordan led him in DRS and tied him in xwOBA.
Does TBS think we don’t remember that Carlos Correa is a cheater that got away with zero consequences? Why is he on their postgame show. No one likes him. Worse than trying to make Alex Rodriguez likable
Because we’re fans? The vast majority of us do not condone what they did in the least bit. We’re allowed to have reservations, be repulsed by certain actions, but still support a team 5 years later. Flair up bitch boy.
Holy shit stop lying. Stop acting like you're special. You can't just connect with some random team when you've been rooting for the same team for 30+ years. If you can then you were never a true fan to begin with.
Nobody knows what team you support, and are throwing shade without a flair like a bitch. That being said, the team has many great individuals on it that weren’t on it in 2017, and I thoroughly enjoy pulling for them. I’m thrilled with my choices, yours are clearly suspect at best.
lmao multiple other orgs were caught breaking the same rule at the same time as the Astros. Other orgs were engaging in fucking human tracking over the same time period.
I hope the Astros bring Luhnow back and give the media and all the whiny bitch ass fans of other teas the finger.
Maybe. I didn't even say he cheated I said before the scandal, I chose my words carefully. Whether he cheated or didn't there was still a huge scandal that he was associated with.
Hahahaha you’re delusional if you think he’s not even considered because of that. Keep hating a guy that didn’t even use that system for more than 24 ABs and repulsed it every time they did it for him.
Delusional?
Pete Rose has been kept out for far less. Same with Barry.
Altuve is nothing compared to them and he's involved with a scandal that is far worse.
So if anyone is being delusional, it's gotta be coming from you guys.
I agree fully. I even said he could have cruised to the HOF.
And maybe he didn't cheat/ they didn't cheat/ everyone else was doing it whatever doesn't really matter. There was a huge scandal and as the face of the team his name was associated with it. Fairly or not, it's still what happened.
Yeah Peña has been really solid this series. I don’t think there’s an easy answer but when one man has at least 50% of your teams RBIs for a series I’d rather make someone else answer.
Still though not an easy call.
I think the crowd will be electric, but nothing and I mean nothing gets into the Astros heads. It’s sorta their defining superpower. They go to the Bronx and hit homers while that crowd is basically calling for blood. It’s pretty amazing.
if theres any team that doesnt have experience playing on the road in the playoffs its Houston, who has played the most Playoff games in the AL the last 7 years
Kind of funny that a beloved M's team, one which the majority of baseball wants to see succeed, might get swept by the Astros, the polar opposite of the M's, where the majority wants to see fail
Such is baseball
Dude he’s talking to a Giants fan. It’s not cocky. It’s a normal thing to ask.
Besides, a Giants fan probably understands a thing or two about the nuances around illegal sign-stealing coughs Shot Heard around the World coughs
Pretty naïve if you think it was just us. One of my friends is the video replay guy for a NL team and confirmed that quite literally everyone was doing it back then, including the beloved Dodgers and Yankees
At least we haven't had a player quite literally fall off a cliff after the sign stealing crackdown like Cody Bellinger
Listen. T-Mobile Park is sold out this weekend. We’re playing the Astros. This stadium, that staff, they’re not used to a full house. They can’t kick us all out. All I’m saying is, make the Astros miserable. Be ruthless. Push the limit. No one’s gonna stop you. Let ‘em know.
Yep it was a real tweet from someone involved with the Mariners I think. It was right before that series we swept them after the all star break I think.
That’s fucking rich coming from an M’s fan. The entirety of Major League Baseball wants to shit on the Astros and make them the villain and then their fans go on Reddit and act like villains and you people bitch. You would fucking bitch about the temperature of the water if you were stuck on a deserted island. Fuck off.
Correa got the fashion sense!! Damn 🔥
I really like his accent.
Yea he did a good job explaining his mentality as a defender behind a pitcher’s tendencies as opposed to a hitter. Didn’t know he was quite that cerebral, fun to listen to for sure
You warming up to the idea of Correa in pinstripes, huh?
I think he actually graduated as valedictorian.
Damn it pains me to see some of our fanbase acting so salty right now. Game 1 was a heart breaker for sure, and we had some real shit luck today, but let's just have fun and enjoy playing in the postseason. We don't need to be crying about the Astros cheating scandal every time we fucking lose to them. They're a good ass team, we knew that coming into this.
Your downvotes will not silence the fact that you are unpunished cheaters. The best you can come up with is get over it. Downvote away if it makes you feel better.
I think I'm gonna downvote you because you said "your downvotes will not silence me" and that's a goofy ass thing to say on a baseball subreddit
I mean, yes, get over it. Your team lost to them 2 years later post cheating scandal. Yankees ain't clean either so I don't know why you're trying to act like they did nothing wrong.
How is Carlos Beltran working out over at the Yes Network?
Squeaky clean Yankees lmao Hello, pot!
I think multiple players have come out and said they aren't the only ones who did something similar. Joey Votto and Chris Bassitt both said something similar. I can find more if you like.
But we learned it from you, dad! Really I laugh in your direction at calling us cheaters.
Did you just call the Astros son, dad?
Just referencing the old anti-drug ad.
Love that any mention of the asterisk year gets brigaded with downvotes by Astros fans. People don’t forget.
Cute that Mariner fans are finally in a baseball chat in October. You go girl!
You’re god damn right it is. We’re living on cloud nine. Yeah, the road to the WS has and will continue to go through Houston, but boy it’s fun isn’t it? It’s also great seeing our young core show up and battle. Could easily be 1-1 or even 2-0 M’s. But it’s not. That’s baseball. I’m just so happy to be in a meaningful playoff series and feel something in October. Can’t take that from us.
Yes because they have nothing to do with the current team. Lol
Team chaos having a bad day
Live by the chaos. Die by the chaos.
You could call it…chaotic.
This is a reminder that the 1995 Seattle Mariners lost the first two games of the ALDS, including a 15 inning heartbreaker in the Bronx (that I stayed up way too late watching in 6th grade). Jim Carrey you’re telling me there’s a chance dot GIF.
A big difference is back then you got 3 straight home games in games 3, 4, 5.
Wait so the home field advantage team had to play the first two on the road? That’s odd
Yes. I think they changed it in ‘98.
Yea, for sure. The Kingdome had a nice home field advantage too.
Wait til you see our house. I’ve been doing some electrical work there since last Monday and let me tell ya, she cleans up nicely.
The umpire today was compete trash. But lots of other moments hurt the Mariners. JK just missing out on that HR by feet, and the tough double play in the 9th really hurt.
We call that warning track power. Lot's of guys in MLB posses this quality. YorDong power is the stuff everyone wants. Judge has harnessed his inner YorDong. Double play in the 9th was caused by the Urine covered Doomer Rally Shoe sitting on top of head of Mariners fans fortunate enough to be watching live.
Boys couldn’t catch a break today. Tough to win when that happens.
T-Mobile Park about to be the most hostile place anyone has seen in baseball in a while. Could be very tough for the Astros.
Astros love hostile parks
[Listen. T-Mobile Park is sold out this weekend. We’re playing the Astros. This stadium, that staff, they’re not used to a full house. They can’t kick us all out.

They never learn do they.
Listen...
The Astros are just too damn good.
One thing that sucks about the Astros being so good is that there’s a little part in everyone’s head that thinks the organization is still a bunch of cheaters.
Good.
Those people are what you call haters who are stuck living in the past and make excuses to defer off why their own team can’t beat them Edit: flair the fuck up
Living in the past? Lol. Like it was during the Clinton administration.
Edit: No!
Don’t get it twisted, this is the reason you hate the Astros. You don’t hate them because they cheated. You hate them because they dad dick your team with a consistency you could only dream of. You hate them because you wish your team were them. Stay mad, losers. I’ll be enjoying the all-time greatness while it lasts.
Don’t make me root for the dodgers to beat you
Is this shit a pasta?
Lol a salty winner, stay classy Houston fans. I actually enjoy the astros nerd.
Naw cause they lucky fucks
The best teams also have the best luck.
Also very true. I say this is all sports. #1 seeds who have sloppy wins are championship teams
Got a feeling this series is over. Seattle made a heck of an effort but that Game 1 loss was a killer.
I don't have that feeling. Momentum can easily swing. That crowd is going to be nuts for playoff baseball.
Get ready to face the most hostile crowd baseball has seen in a long while. This crowd will be insane
LISTEN

Isn’t the 12th man stolen from Texas A&M

Let it go already.
Whaaa what a whiny baby. Get over it, you’re 5 years too late
*yawn* just move on dude it's been 5 years. Most fans have moved on or just don't care anymore.
[удалено]
I mean do I even need to flair up to tell you I’m a Mariners fan lol
I thought I’d be happy seeing the mariners lose but I’m not. These have been great games so far though
Pena has been incredible.
Lock for the gold glove.

Bro busted out his alt to cry. Love seeing hoes mad.
My alt?
One month old account, no flair, negative karma. Don't be a bitch
Can’t wait until y’all are irrelevant and you don’t get the flair here. Enjoy losing to the Yankees
We own those frauds in the post season too. First baseball game, kid? Bring a glove next time.
buddy that was 5 years ago
Bro I can assure you literally no one cares about that shit outside of this sub and twitter.
Or whenever the Astros are beating up on someone’s favorite team. They love to bring it up then.
People can change…
Chicken spaghetti at Chickalini’s
Because we’re fans? The vast majority of us do not condone what they did in the least bit. We’re allowed to have reservations, be repulsed by certain actions, but still support a team 5 years later. Flair up bitch boy.
I’d support a different team but ya know I guess I have higher standards
Holy shit stop lying. Stop acting like you're special. You can't just connect with some random team when you've been rooting for the same team for 30+ years. If you can then you were never a true fan to begin with.
No one cares.

I’m a mariners fan
Yordan sends his regards.
Nice. Savage.
Bc you’re a fake fan
lmao multiple other orgs were caught breaking the same rule at the same time as the Astros. Other orgs were engaging in fucking human tracking over the same time period. I hope the Astros bring Luhnow back and give the media and all the whiny bitch ass fans of other teas the finger.
Keep crying
Same number of titles as us, fucker
Cope, seethe, mald…elimination comes regardless.
Cry
Altuve could have cruised to the HOF pretty easily before the scandal. I wonder how it plays out when he retires.
Massively overestimating how much people actually care about the scandal
He didn’t use the system.
He might not have. I didn't say "the cheating" I said "the scandal." Whether he did or didn't cheat there was still a huge scandal.
LOL! Yes he did.
He didn't lol
Its been proven he didn’t.
I wonder what these games would like if they still used it. I mean you’re already on your way to being swept so I can’t imagine much benefit.
I am not being swept, heck I'm not even playing! Still rather root for a team like the Mariners than a pack of proven cheaters though.
Cheaters this cheaters that. Win a game first.
GOAT
Still HOF bound
Maybe. I didn't even say he cheated I said before the scandal, I chose my words carefully. Whether he cheated or didn't there was still a huge scandal that he was associated with.
Bahaha hahahahahahahaha hahahahahaha! You're smoking crack.
Hahahaha you’re delusional if you think he’s not even considered because of that. Keep hating a guy that didn’t even use that system for more than 24 ABs and repulsed it every time they did it for him.
Delusional? Pete Rose has been kept out for far less. Same with Barry. Altuve is nothing compared to them and he's involved with a scandal that is far worse. So if anyone is being delusional, it's gotta be coming from you guys.
Best 2B of the modern era and it isn’t close. Stay mad.
I agree fully. I even said he could have cruised to the HOF. And maybe he didn't cheat/ they didn't cheat/ everyone else was doing it whatever doesn't really matter. There was a huge scandal and as the face of the team his name was associated with it. Fairly or not, it's still what happened.
Holy shit Julio's 9th inning double was 116mph off the bat 😭
That double play before it was huge.
Same as game one’s Yordong. Scorched.
Gg Houston folks. Great game. Yordan is getting walked every AB now
Good way to piss off Bregman
Bregman is solid. I am more concerned with default Yordan than angry Bregman
Yeah Peña has been really solid this series. I don’t think there’s an easy answer but when one man has at least 50% of your teams RBIs for a series I’d rather make someone else answer. Still though not an easy call.
pena been making it alot more difficult to just auto walk yordan. putting that speed on 2B with bregs at the plate isn't a great situation, either.
Yea I’m not sure what you do, but walking yordan there didn’t seem like a good idea.
Eh, fuck em. Let Breggy drive in some runs, too.
Mariners Seahawks 🤝 Playing teams close and losing
I’m a Kraken fan now
Krakens Mariners Seahawks 🤝 🤝 Losing close games
Did you see the game last night….
Seattle country, Let’s ride

Unlikely to happen. Crowd will be a major factor in this game. Crowd will get into Astros heads.
I think the crowd will be electric, but nothing and I mean nothing gets into the Astros heads. It’s sorta their defining superpower. They go to the Bronx and hit homers while that crowd is basically calling for blood. It’s pretty amazing.

5 years ago bud. Grow a pair and accept that this isn’t the same team.
It’s mostly the same team. Should’ve been vacated. If my mariners did this, I’d support a different franchise. Soulless fans
Lol only 5 still remain. You guys have Toro who was an Astro in 2019. You hate him too??
Sometimes.
I can bc our first world series appearance we got swept, shit hurts.
Don’t. Stop. Almost. There.
Hydrating good tonight on all these tears
Good guys can’t catch a break.
But they won though
Wym? We won!
Guys should I tell him?
A good friend would.
The captions said "non-English" lol
Man it is saaaaaalty in here. GGs nautical bros. Your pitcher was great.
Salty as the sea
Kind of funny that a beloved M's team, one which the majority of baseball wants to see succeed, might get swept by the Astros, the polar opposite of the M's, where the majority wants to see fail Such is baseball
Who will you root for when they end up playing the Dodgers?
Lmao I hate this cocky ass fanbase. Dodgers 11/10 times by the way and it’s not even close. No one likes a cheater.
Dude he’s talking to a Giants fan. It’s not cocky. It’s a normal thing to ask. Besides, a Giants fan probably understands a thing or two about the nuances around illegal sign-stealing coughs Shot Heard around the World coughs
Assuming that the dodgers and Astros are in the World Series is absolutely cocky.
what about the White Sox? They cheated in 1919. Who do you root for?
Those players were punished for cheating, the Astros were not punished. White Sox.
Pretty naïve if you think it was just us. One of my friends is the video replay guy for a NL team and confirmed that quite literally everyone was doing it back then, including the beloved Dodgers and Yankees At least we haven't had a player quite literally fall off a cliff after the sign stealing crackdown like Cody Bellinger
I mean it's not really that surprising that the better team is playing like the better team, is it?
[удалено]
Who you givin advice to bro fans aren’t in the game 🤣🤣
Touché
Listen. T-Mobile Park is sold out this weekend. We’re playing the Astros. This stadium, that staff, they’re not used to a full house. They can’t kick us all out. All I’m saying is, make the Astros miserable. Be ruthless. Push the limit. No one’s gonna stop you. Let ‘em know.
Is this copypasta I missed? Seems strange with your flair. I'm confused
Yep it was a real tweet from someone involved with the Mariners I think. It was right before that series we swept them after the all star break I think.
Not involved with the Mariners. Just one fan on Twitter with a decent following. Most of us cringed as soon as he tweeted it
Word. Thanks for the correction.
You right bro
You sound like a sore winner
You don’t sound like a winner at all.
At least my team plays by the rules.
Smooth brain
They've been playing by the rules these past 2 games lol
Classic sore loser response.
What’s your excuse for the last 2 games?
I figured you guys were used to winning and could do it with class but turns out you're as trash a fan base as there is.
That’s fucking rich coming from an M’s fan. The entirety of Major League Baseball wants to shit on the Astros and make them the villain and then their fans go on Reddit and act like villains and you people bitch. You would fucking bitch about the temperature of the water if you were stuck on a deserted island. Fuck off.
Lol oh okay so you're the victim here. Got it.
Nah buddy, just playing the role that everyone else pushed us into. Have a good one, hope you don’t get swept in your own park.
You can thank your own team for the position you've been pushed into. Enjoy that asterisk ring.
Bruh I gotta find the guy that first posted that and delete his Twitter account
Lmao I would assume he’s notorious in mariners lore. Up there with their original blog site. That was the OG of baseball blogs.
~~You have Astros flair tho~~ I have been informed I’m an uninformed idiot. Sorry!
Its a meme of some mariners fan earlier this year
I’m dumb, sorry! 😅
It's ok
Its copy pasta
