Mariners playoff hunt
- Thread starter doogie
- Start date
Is that like a snipe hunt?

How many times have we seen this script.
Start out slow, and you think they are out of it. They then go on an absolute tear, and get just into striking distance of a playoff birth, then they rip your heart out in the final 4-5 games.
1.5 games back with five games to play. Wouldn't be surprised if they go 2-3 to end and finish 2 out.

Amazing honestly
1 game back in loss column and it would not shock me at all to go 3-1 in last 4 and get into tiebreaker with 91 wins

Most of us have been beaten too many times to expect anything other than missing out by a game or two.
On the other hand, in 1985 the M's started 6-0 and then proceeded to lose 10 of 11. I think they finished 61-101 that year if memory serves me

I can only think of one time in last 15nyears where we were close to playoffs. Like 5-6 years ago. Felix was on mounds last game of season.
Am I missing other seasons? Mariners have sucked for better part of last two decades

There was a couple years ago, where they started something like 14-2, then proceeded to suck again.

Ok. I was just talking about end of year
You lead the team to it's first ever .500 record?!?
Wait, Bill Plummer's available?
I was sitting in my car in a restaurant parking lot in Federal Way listening to the 9th inning. They were in Texas and beat the Rangers to secure their 82nd win. Alvin Davis was crying in the locker room. Dave Nieuhaus was choking up. He kept shouting "The Mariners are winners! My oh my!"
Then 12 months later we hired Plummer and descended straight back into hell.

It’s worse than you remember. The Ms non renewed Lefebvre after 91 (that first winking season) and hired Plummer. So it was probably a month or two after they secured that 82nd win.

I am happy, if for no other reason than I don't have to sweat them "finishing strong", thereby fucking up getting the first pick in the draft next year, which is how we got Ackley, and not Strassburg. IIRC, we had a couple of gritty, come from behind victories vs the A's, and my wife was pissed for days that I would root for the M's to lose...no wonder I feel "welcome" here, JFC...

This shits crazy
I can’t remember a time in history that a baseball team with a -50 run difference goes on a streak at the end of the season to contend during the last weekend of the season.
