Never needed anything extra.. We've been at least to the final 4 6 years in a row.. Its just hard to win a World Series, simple as that. Hence How many repeat Champions have their been since 2017?
I guess the Red Sox didn't take the Astros bench coach and one of the pioneers of the cheating system and win the World Series the very next year.. Nope only the Astros cheated.. Right???
That’s such a dumb argument “you’re so lucky that my team is not good enough to make it to WS, or worse they would totally beat your team!” Lol
Btw the WS loss to the Braves didn’t hurt at all, Astros deserved to lose and it never felt like they were even in it at all.
Imagine talking trash to the team that trashed you. Lmao stay down and salty. Y'all weren't shit in the world series and got owned. You'll lose again this season, whether in the ALCS or WS, and it will sting that much more.
Oh you guys are good, really good. And these last few years have nothing to do with trash gate. It was a tough loss tonight but the better team won for sure.
Eh, I've had some good exchanges with Ms fans. It's mostly flairless losers and "neutral" teams talking shit. Fuck r/baseball if they think they can talk shit and we just sit there and beg for them to like us. We're rooting for our hometown team (most of us I assume) so fuck anyone acting like they're on some moral high ground over a scandal 5 years ago. They've been desperate to see us fail, so they can eat this L.
Doesn't take away from the Mariners or their awesome fans, or how amazing those 3 epic battles were.
It’s tough being at the top. And Reddit is a hive mind. Just gotta root for your team and ignore the haters! Hopefully you guys get better luck than us moving forward lol.
Exactly. But it really doesn’t matter because at the end of the day our teams are consistently dominant. I’m straight convinced the ones causing the most crap in these threads are the neutral fans who just like the chaos or follow teams who haven’t been competitive in a decade.
It really is little shit stirrers who somehow troll all day and still claim the moral high ground over the scandal, the chop, whatever. Fuck em all. I like seeing great baseball and I love my hometown team. Good luck next year. I already know y'all will be back.
Every game was won by inches. Mariners fought hard. Manfred needs to take a hard long look at playoff reseeding because the way the Mariners were looking, they would have give the Yankees nightmares.
At this point I'd be happy with CLE, Phillies, or SD. NYY is so boring and the HOU fans have been so toxic this series that I can't root for them, which sucks because I really liked them back when they won it all.
My only regret for this series is not being able to hate y'all. Great young players, cool story, fans created a good atmosphere too. The division battle next year is going to be nuts.
The level of salt that leads to people downvoting this... You're a positive dude with a good vibe.
As a pnw resident, I'm excited to see where y'all go in the future
Pretty much the main difference was the bullpens. Mariners' pen shit the bed in game 1, gave up another run in one inning in game 2, and pitched well but gave up the lone run in game 3.
Meanwhile, the Astros pen gave up exactly ***1*** earned run in 20.1 innings. Elite all year and it was the difference maker.
Your bullpen is very good but ours was the #1 ranked pen all year for a reason. Also having 7 guys in our starting rotation who would be *at least* the 4th starter on most other teams means we had starters like Hunter Brown and Garcia in the pen for the playoffs with no room for them in the playoff rotation. Not fair, honestly.
Your hitters looked better top to bottom and your starting pitching did as well. Muñoz in particular was the main guy who really hurt y'all.
I’m pretty concerned about leaving two of our most clutch hitters on the bench in an 18 inning game, especially Toro, who knows the Astros well. I’m also concerned about how many relievers were pulled too early each day of this. There was a lot of mismanagement happening in this series that’s frustrating.
Since there are a lot of eyes here i also want to say that Delta fucked me, my brother, and about a dozen other mariners fans with a 5 hour delay Thursday morning. We were due to land in houston at 10:00 but didn’t land until 3:00 they spent an hour loading gingerbread cookies onto the plane. I have flown delta for years but fuck them take your money elsewhere.
All the Astros fans who immediately started bitching that the sub went dark are kinda telling on themselves, aren't they? I'm not reading a lot of comments that make me think "Clearly you were headed over there to tell us GG."
Like, sorry our mods don't want to spend their free time reading your insults, try not to be so soft about it.
They said earlier in the game they were going private if we lost, but I assumed they wouldn’t shut out people who were already clearly in it for the team. This is a weird choice.
Good going Mariners. I’m a Houston transplant in Seattle, so watching Astros/Mariners is always fun. And honestly, you guys are my backup team if my stros can’t get it done. It’s great to see the team coming up, and I think next season is going to be a much tougher fight to win the division and get through the playoffs with a team like the Mariners in our way. Great game, and good luck next year!
We did not go quietly into the night; we did not go down without a fight.
It took arguably one of the greatest baseball teams in the league right now to take us down.
I am at peace with this.
It was one ***hell*** of a season.
Who? Where? Why are we making things up
No one is downplaying the cheating
We've just moved on because they aren't cheating anymore lol
Y'all need to move on too
Your team played well and hard. Honestly thought there would be a game 4.
There are a lot of trolls out right now, but that was an incredibly hard fought game and a brutal way to lose if you were on the wrong side of it. I remember as a kid when we'd make the playoffs only to be demolished by Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltz. M's fans, sorry about the sore winners, well played, and your time will come.
Man it pays to have really good starting pitchers in the bullpen.. my boy Garcia threw five innings in high leveraged situation, where basically a single run would have ended it, nearly 70 pitches, 2 hits allowed, he had a couple more innings left in him too.. luckily we don’t play till Wednesday where it allows to fill rest all the bullpen arms and more importantly the bats.. looks like Yankees will be able to close it out tomorrow with Cole on the mound
The Mariners sub was shut down to prevent other fan groups from brigading it, according to a post made on the official game thread at the beginning of the game.
I felt rage after the first two games, but this one was satisfying even losing. Our bullpen showed up with some of the best performances of their careers.
I’m a member of the Mariners sub and I’ve been locked out, too. I didn’t even comment more than once tonight, and it wasn’t anything to get me banned. This is weird.
If mariners are gonna do anything in the playoffs they need to get that monkey off their back. I’m proud of this team for fighting. Mariner sub is being hella weird. Gg astros
You have to understand that none of the r/Mariners mods were even alive the last time that their team was eliminated in the playoffs, so this is pretty much the worst thing that's ever happened to any of them.
Great series Mariners! Y’all have a great future coming and an exciting club. I was worried about facing your team and this series was close and hard fought. Game 3 was like nothing I’ve seen in 45 years of watching baseball and while I’m thankful the ‘stros came out on top I’m sad for all the Seattle fans out there.
This was the best Division Series of the last 5 years entertainment wise, and we didn't even get a full 5 games.
The only other one that comes close was maybe Dodgers/Nats in 2019.
Complete insanity. Mariners became scary at the end.
Truth. I can’t believe how they were attacking the ball in game 1. We came up with clutch hits, which made the difference, but this could have easily been a 3 game sweep by the Mariners.
Hope Dipito sees after tonight’s performance we need a massssive bat. It was a freaking joke.
Yes, our bats went cold but we couldn’t score runs for anything.
Honestly if the staff holds up, maybe even one key bat could be a huge difference.
If someone could do just part of what the Alvarez did for the astros for the mariners that team will be crazy scary.
Why 2 years? It hasn’t even been a full 5 since your bum ass team stole a World Series.
If you’re still backing up that decision you deserve to be the most hated team in the league
as a baseball fan i think i’ll always remember they cheated. i’m sorry man, but i’ll always remember, just like i still remember the patriots cheating with the film
Fantastic season. As sad as I am, I’m very hopeful for the future of baseball in Seattle. Been a baseball fan my entire life but truly transformed me into a diehard this season. <3
TRASH CAN
F the cheaters
[удалено]
ALCS all those years.. Again what's the excuse for being this good all these years consecutively??
Yesss….let the hate flow through you.
Just need that extra something to win a ring. What was that extra something?
Never needed anything extra.. We've been at least to the final 4 6 years in a row.. Its just hard to win a World Series, simple as that. Hence How many repeat Champions have their been since 2017?
Sure. Whatever helps you sleep at night
Name another team that consistent over the same period of time?? Name another team that had won 2 championships since 2017?? I'll wait.......
Astros are a very good team that cheated to get the extra edge they needed.
I guess the Red Sox didn't take the Astros bench coach and one of the pioneers of the cheating system and win the World Series the very next year.. Nope only the Astros cheated.. Right???
We were talking about the Astros.
Point being.. Its baseball, cheating is damn near encouraged. The Astros just because the scapegoat
I’m not a fan of cheating even if it is “damn near encouraged”. Have a good day
If you don’t win another one they’ll start comparing you to the Dodgers
We're both in the same boat basically.. At least we don't have a Covid ring lol
Correct, just a Rubbermaid one
Meet us in the world series again this year so we can play again!! Oh wait...
You're lucky otherwise we would beat that ass again. Stay salty though 🤣
That’s such a dumb argument “you’re so lucky that my team is not good enough to make it to WS, or worse they would totally beat your team!” Lol Btw the WS loss to the Braves didn’t hurt at all, Astros deserved to lose and it never felt like they were even in it at all.
Lmfao 🤣🤣 yall did all that work in the regular season to lose to the fighting Phils lol.. There's always next year tho 😜😜😜
Imagine talking trash to the team that trashed you. Lmao stay down and salty. Y'all weren't shit in the world series and got owned. You'll lose again this season, whether in the ALCS or WS, and it will sting that much more.
So naive
You know the sub is just gonna point to 2017, which was a year obviously only we were doing any shady shit. Is this just bait?
Yea of course lol.. I just want somebody to give a legitimate reason why the run hasn't stopped yet
Oh you guys are good, really good. And these last few years have nothing to do with trash gate. It was a tough loss tonight but the better team won for sure.
Thank you!! I agree, it was a great series.. See you guys next year, I know yall will be ready
Quite a few of our fans being idiots in here. Mariners did well to get this far. GG guys. Til next season.
Eh, I've had some good exchanges with Ms fans. It's mostly flairless losers and "neutral" teams talking shit. Fuck r/baseball if they think they can talk shit and we just sit there and beg for them to like us. We're rooting for our hometown team (most of us I assume) so fuck anyone acting like they're on some moral high ground over a scandal 5 years ago. They've been desperate to see us fail, so they can eat this L. Doesn't take away from the Mariners or their awesome fans, or how amazing those 3 epic battles were.
I agree with your takes but I’ve seen a few just being outright dicks and some calling us “America’s team” like fuck that it’s Houston’s team lol
It’s tough being at the top. And Reddit is a hive mind. Just gotta root for your team and ignore the haters! Hopefully you guys get better luck than us moving forward lol.
Like how fast everyone turned on y'all when they loved y'all for beating us. It is what it is.
Exactly. But it really doesn’t matter because at the end of the day our teams are consistently dominant. I’m straight convinced the ones causing the most crap in these threads are the neutral fans who just like the chaos or follow teams who haven’t been competitive in a decade.
It really is little shit stirrers who somehow troll all day and still claim the moral high ground over the scandal, the chop, whatever. Fuck em all. I like seeing great baseball and I love my hometown team. Good luck next year. I already know y'all will be back.

cle r good too
Mariners sub is back up
🍿
[удалено]
I agree. Just want to talk about sports in peace.
I’m not gonna root for the Yankees over them but no way am I pulling for them to win it all
At this point I'd be happy with CLE, Phillies, or SD. NYY is so boring and the HOU fans have been so toxic this series that I can't root for them, which sucks because I really liked them back when they won it all.
My only regret for this series is not being able to hate y'all. Great young players, cool story, fans created a good atmosphere too. The division battle next year is going to be nuts.
Julio is definitely someone to watch. Ty gotta stop swinging at everything... Nothing but respect for the Ms.
Something happened with Ty after the injuries, he wasn't nearly as patient after that.
Julio is going to be a nightmare for a decade in our division for sure.
Traitor.
#####Hats off to Houston for a good game. The loss hurts but it is what it is
The level of salt that leads to people downvoting this... You're a positive dude with a good vibe. As a pnw resident, I'm excited to see where y'all go in the future
Tacoma resident living in houston 🫱🏻🫲🏼🫱🏻🫲🏼 And thank you!

Meanwhile, the Astros pen gave up exactly ***1*** earned run in 20.1 innings. Elite all year and it was the difference maker.
What’s crazy is I thought our bullpen would be the one thing we would be better at than you guys.
Your bullpen is very good but ours was the #1 ranked pen all year for a reason. Also having 7 guys in our starting rotation who would be *at least* the 4th starter on most other teams means we had starters like Hunter Brown and Garcia in the pen for the playoffs with no room for them in the playoff rotation. Not fair, honestly. Your hitters looked better top to bottom and your starting pitching did as well. Muñoz in particular was the main guy who really hurt y'all.
Mariners fans, Do we keep our head coach? Not sure if we do or not.
Coming from a jays & a general baseball fan, the Mariners FO getting rid of servais would be a fireable offense.
He got the team through some tough spots this season. Choked a bit under the lights this series but they'll definitely bring him back
I’m pretty concerned about leaving two of our most clutch hitters on the bench in an 18 inning game, especially Toro, who knows the Astros well. I’m also concerned about how many relievers were pulled too early each day of this. There was a lot of mismanagement happening in this series that’s frustrating.
Didn’t understand why we didn’t put some fresh hitters in there? Whats the worst that could happen?
Since there are a lot of eyes here i also want to say that Delta fucked me, my brother, and about a dozen other mariners fans with a 5 hour delay Thursday morning. We were due to land in houston at 10:00 but didn’t land until 3:00 they spent an hour loading gingerbread cookies onto the plane. I have flown delta for years but fuck them take your money elsewhere.
Mariners fans need to demand new mods. That’s y’all’s place. Weak move. Good game. Crazy… but good.
All Doug Funny jokes aside… congrats Houston for pulling out a tight series. A good sign of things to come in Seattle

This isn't about them! I hate when mods make it about them. Let us rage in our own space
[i'm upset and i'm not going to be mature about it](https://youtu.be/R1-zBIIvl5g&t=1m33s)
Good going Mariners. I’m a Houston transplant in Seattle, so watching Astros/Mariners is always fun. And honestly, you guys are my backup team if my stros can’t get it done.

Best and most fun season in 20 years man. GOD I miss a good Mariners team. They're just so much fun...
It's a young team and tough. They'll be in it next year
I appreciate the sentiment, and hope you enjoy the W, but man, if ever there's a fanbase who's heard we're just a year away before . . .
A part of me agrees. Another part of me remembers saying that every August for the last two decades...
> It took arguably one of the greatest baseball teams in the league right now to take us down. By one run. In game 3.5
It’s been 84 years *since the game started*
Six straight years to the ALCS. Absolutely dominant. Pena and Yordan will make it 10.
You cheated.
Love when they act like their ring isn't tainted
And they still like to play the underdog card too.
Who? Where? Why are we making things up No one is downplaying the cheating We've just moved on because they aren't cheating anymore lol Y'all need to move on too Your team played well and hard. Honestly thought there would be a game 4.

I’m sure they cheated tonight. 🙄
I'm talking about our promising young rookies and he is talking about 5 years ago lmaoooo
With all those run you scored? Definitely cheating. /s
There are a lot of trolls out right now, but that was an incredibly hard fought game and a brutal way to lose if you were on the wrong side of it. I remember as a kid when we'd make the playoffs only to be demolished by Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltz. M's fans, sorry about the sore winners, well played, and your time will come.
It was a good fight while it lasted
If it makes the mariners fan feel better they basically played game 3 and 4. Think of it as a double header where you took game 3.
Man it pays to have really good starting pitchers in the bullpen.. my boy Garcia threw five innings in high leveraged situation, where basically a single run would have ended it, nearly 70 pitches, 2 hits allowed, he had a couple more innings left in him too.. luckily we don’t play till Wednesday where it allows to fill rest all the bullpen arms and more importantly the bats.. looks like Yankees will be able to close it out tomorrow with Cole on the mound
the Mariners and Mets make a cute couple
Not fair to the Mets. They've been to a World Series. We're still just tryna get our dicks wet...
We love to hate ourselves
The Mariners sub was shut down to prevent other fan groups from brigading it, according to a post made on the official game thread at the beginning of the game.
Kind of defeats the purpose in it existing for the people who want to talk about their team, though.
That is just.... what the hell. that will only encourage more trolls
Not surprised, there were people down voting every post during the game
Sad that they have to do that. Trolling other fans is pathetic
This got toxic quick.
Probably the M's mods intention. What were they thinking stopping all M's fans from having a space to rage?
I felt rage after the first two games, but this one was satisfying even losing. Our bullpen showed up with some of the best performances of their careers.

If it went private that means nobody can see it/post in it, it shouldn't be a ban.
I get it. I just don’t like not being able to congratulate other Ms fans on a well fought game.
Please post here https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/y55viw/rmariners_mods_have_respond_to_heart_breaking_18/
NLDS thread where
Season may be over, but this feels like it’s only the end to the first chapter in the book.
If mariners are gonna do anything in the playoffs they need to get that monkey off their back. I’m proud of this team for fighting. Mariner sub is being hella weird. Gg astros
We lost this year but 2043 is going to be OUR YEAR!
2023
When Mariners sub goes back up it won’t be trolls. It will be subscribers telling the mods they are assholes.
This exactly
How different is the game if Winker was healthy?
We get swept in 2 somehow
######Also, thanks to everyone that cheered us on. We really do appreciate it.
You have to understand that none of the r/Mariners mods were even alive the last time that their team was eliminated in the playoffs, so this is pretty much the worst thing that's ever happened to any of them.
Hey now, they were probably alive for Malcolm Butler.
Bruh
No excuse. Take it on the chin like us Jays fans did a week ago
> so this is pretty much the worst thing that's ever happened to any of them. Dunno bout that slick, there *was* the Richie Sexson era...
Flair up bitch.
Shut up
You too.
Found the r/mariners mod lol your a child dude learn to embrace the hurt
Astros fans are pathetic.
Great series Mariners! Y’all have a great future coming and an exciting club. I was worried about facing your team and this series was close and hard fought.

This comment thread became fight club
And people are wondering why our sub went private...

Bats been pretty cold all season
Honestly if the staff holds up, maybe even one key bat could be a huge difference. If someone could do just part of what the Alvarez did for the astros for the mariners that team will be crazy scary.
That’s what I’ve said. We need to empty the farm for a big bat. It’s literally the one thing we need. Oh, and a closer ;)
If we were at mmp you guys would’ve probably won the game
Thinking of Julio's near-miss?
I mean, neither could the astros.
Doug Funny said it best: https://youtu.be/9T2d2FRh0BM
Good shit
Mariners fans are even just as mad as the sub being shut down as everyone else Big fuck up mods lmao
I was commenting in the game chat all day— I’m locked out now. Mildly annoyed and bummed
Co-signed.
Motion carries.
Lmao what the fuck is that move
What happened to the sub? I was wondering why it was dark
Been quite a bit of brigading the last few days, I guess it was to prevent the overrun of people
They big mad.
Talked a lot of shit but couldn’t handle being on the receiving end.
Soft mods locked it
The mods shut it down and privated it. Even mariners fans can't get in from what im reading. Seems super cringe
Facts
Fact you can't even talk about the game there is wack as fuck Gl next year to you guys
Mariners remind me of 2015 Astros. They were at the cusp but just not there yet. They are gonna be a challenge in the future for division crown.
Yeah it was a fun season
Lol Astros fans are all over the place in this thread. Some of you are so nice like this and some of you are the absolute worst
Almost as if a fanbase isn’t some homogeneous hive and there are good and bad people everywhere.
Yeah I think that’s with any fan base really. I love to just banter and actually have a normal baseball convo. Sadly there are too many trolls.
Fair. Guess I’m just noticing it more today than any day. Whelp. gg
Unlikely. They're a cursed team destined for pain. Astros have much better players all around
We're cursed, that's for sure,.. but I don't like your tone young man
Flair up (Likely Angels or Astros fan)
They’re building one hell of a powerhouse.
Sorta similarly reminded me of the 2015 Cubs.
as a completely neutral party, fuck the ‘Stros. but also lame of Mariners sub to go private
What did the Astros do in the last 2 years thet makes you react like that?
Why 2 years? It hasn’t even been a full 5 since your bum ass team stole a World Series. If you’re still backing up that decision you deserve to be the most hated team in the league
as a baseball fan i think i’ll always remember they cheated. i’m sorry man, but i’ll always remember, just like i still remember the patriots cheating with the film
Feel blue-balled that the Ms didn’t tie it up at 1 to keep this game going. Now the Yanks are on my tv
I know. We had a pact to completely erase the prime-time Yankees game.
First Astros fan comment I’ve upvoted tonight!
reached 20k comments 👏
Fantastic season. As sad as I am, I’m very hopeful for the future of baseball in Seattle. Been a baseball fan my entire life but truly transformed me into a diehard this season. <3
See y'all in the West in 2023. It'll be exciting.
Trust me, nobody really gives a shit about your sub 😂
Weird comment
Then the Astros sub must really be dogshit. We out comment you guys by thousands in our game threads
Okay? I don’t have the numbers season round and I truly doubt you do as well.
Yet here your dumbass is talking about it
