The Mariners just snagged their second straight high-scoring victory in Boston, clinching an 8-3 win that keeps them absolutely perfect in September! Yeah, you heard that right, our boys are on fire and haven’t dropped a game this month. They are back home tonight at T-Mobile Park, ready to kick off a series against the Oakland Athletics with first pitch slated for 6:40pm PT. After that road trip, it feels good to have them back in the Emerald City, doesn’t it?
Another Arm In The Mix
Even with the team cruising, the front office is still working the angles. We just got word that the Mariners have reportedly inked right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson to a minor league deal. Any time you can add depth, especially to the pitching staff, it’s a good thing. With a long season, you never know when you’ll need another arm to step up and chew some innings. It’s all about building for the present and the future, making sure we have options. You gotta love seeing the commitment to always improving, even when the team is rolling.
Seattle Fan Talk Hits Different Right Now
Look, the wins are sweet, but you know Seattle fans, we’re always dissecting everything. Despite this perfect run in September, the Lookout Landing staff was still buzzing about the aftermath of what they called a “miserable series” in Toronto. And get this, the chatter even included whether or not Dan Wilson will finally get canned for it. That’s how passionate this fan base is! Even two straight high-scoring wins won’t erase the memory of a tough stretch. We bleed green and blue, and we expect the best, always. It just shows how high the stakes are for our squad every single game.
Around The League: Ohtani Update and King Félix Flashbacks
Beyond our own M’s, there’s always big news floating around the league. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced that Shohei Ohtani still doesn’t have a timeline to return to pitching. Apparently, the two-way superstar felt discomfort in his knee during a bullpen session last Friday. That’s a brutal blow for any team, you hate to see it. Speaking of legends, Zack Scott shared an old story about how the Red Sox came *this close* to acquiring Félix Hernández back in the summer of 2009. Can you even imagine King Félix in a Red Sox uniform? Feels like a different universe, right? Also, Padres catcher Ethan Salas made his MLB debut and became the youngest player to catch a game since Iván Rodríguez. That’s pretty wild, watching these young guys come up.
Tonight, it’s all about the A’s. Our Mariners are back home, perfect in September, and ready to keep that momentum going. Let’s show up, be loud, and help our guys keep this streak alive! Go M’s!
