The Seattle Mariners started out well on Friday night however
Saturday and Sunday were disappointments. This was especially true with the
offense unable to score runs. Although James Paxton struggled in his pitching
the offense could have kept the Mariners in the game.
It seems that the Mariners struggle when they reach the .500
level. Of course it did not help with Blue Jay fans taking over so much of the
stands. It says something about the Mariner fans as well. They should have
learned from last year that they need to get out in numbers. The Mariner fans seem to be passive in so
many ways while the Blue Jay fans are having a great time.
There should be enough fans living in Seattle itself to get
out to the games on this weekend and those from out of state should schedule a
trip to Seattle when the Blue Jay fans figure to do so. It would be nice to
have busloads of fans from out of town to come to the games. Safeco Field
should not be an away game when the Blue Jay fans come to town.
I understand that the Mariners haven’t been to the playoffs
since 2017 however they are more entertaining this year despite the injuries
that have occurred. It would have been nice to see King Felix pitch over the
weekend but still no excuse that he was injured. Besides Cruz and Cano the
young guys make it a good time to go to the games.
I am sure things won’t change for the Mariner fans until they
are in the playoff hunt or have made the playoffs but everyone must realize
this is not the same Mariners any longer. It would be nice if the fans could be
as excited as the Seahawk fans are. Remember the Seahawks were not a great team
for a while either. Let’s plan to attend the series against the Blue Jays next
time. Order the tickets as soon as they are available. If you can’t go to the
games buy the tickets anyway and then resell them. Let the Mariners know how
much we care for them. Go M’s.
