First place in the division with a real test coming up. We struggled against the Astros in the past let’s see what we can do this weekend

It's early in the season but this young team has been incredibly fun to watch. Super impressive 9th inning, and not to mention how they kept fighting back from the 7th. Could be fun. We'll see! Wow!

Great 9th inning win. This team has been fun to watch so far and Lewis isn't even back yet.

Doing just enough and it's fun to watch. They'll need some wins that aren't come from behind 1 runners to make this feel sustainable, but for now it's watchable baseball!

Was a fun win, but tbh, the Stros were playing w/o 4 of their top players. A W is a W with the Stros though. I can't believe I'm saying this and I don't want to jinx anything but SEAGER is crushing the old habit of being a dud in April. He's been clutch a number of times over the first 9 games. I might actually start to like the guy. :pound: (knocking on wood)

Honestly, I was thinking the other day that maybe M's start thinking about extending him for a couple years. They have no 3B replacement and it doesn't appear they want to deal him so why not extend for a couple years? He is a team guy and beloved by teammates. Plus, we don't sign real free agents so...

Top 3 of the line up is good, the other 6 in the line up is so very bad

Defensively Seag is no doubt the ace. I would agree with you about extending him as long as he doesn't crap out offensively for most of the remaining season. Just saying.....

Just gonna enjoy it for as long as it lasts. Don't expect the M's to keep doing this all year, but would love to be surprised.

If you arent Greinke. Seattles pitcher isn't getting those same spots at all.

The ump started out kinda crappy and gave a few bad calls but tightened up for the most part. Greinke was on fire throwing nasty stuff all game.

Gotta be honest, Chris Flexen is looking like a pretty good signing so far.

Greinke was filthy last night, but giving him a massive strike zone deemed him impossible to hit off of. These umps have been straight garbage to start the year with these extended strike zones that just don’t make sense. Greinke had great stuff last night so just chalk that up to losing a pitching duel, but man it would be nice to go with a robo ump at the moment.

Get rid of the plate and call the strike zone from from batters box to batters box like half of the umps are doing already.

So an error, then next pitch wild pitch, then next batter fly ball ground rule double scoring a run when infielder/outfielder lost it in the sun. It wouldn't be baseball without the Mariners twist on it.
