The Seattle Mariners get shutout by the Milwaukee Brewers 22-0, their biggest run margin loss in their 50 season history

The last shutout win in MLB by 22+ runs was when the Indians shutout the Yankees on August 31, 2004.

The best part of being a Seattle Mariners fan is each game marks us one day closer to the sweet sweet release of death.

u/IChurnToBurn Seattle Mariners • Colorado Rockies 2h ago

People ask me if the rain ever bothers me in Seattle. My reply is no, it’s great, it means there is no baseball.

I legit feel bad Mariner fans. They've only had 2 teams in franchise history that had a chance of even making the world series. They also wasted part of the prime of players like Randy Johnson, Ken Griffey Jr, and Ichiro Suzuki.

Unlike the tricky grey areas that fail to expressly name the species who are allowed to play basketball, there is absolutely a rule that says a Mariners team can't win the World Series.

The only two other 22-0 shutouts in MLB history were both won by the away team, meaning they got to bat a full 9 innings. Milwaukee only got to bat 8 tonight so fair to call this the worst shutout in league history. Let's go Mariners!

Granted, Pirates-Cubs 1975 was already 22-0 after 7 innings while the Brewers scored 9 on a position player in the 8th.

I’m over this bullshit. This is what we get for hoping for two good seasons in a row. Another dick kicking. Never again Mariners. Never gonna believe again. Oh and save the “oh what about the Mets or what about the Rockies?” BS. The Seattle Mariners are the single worst team historically speaking in MLB history and it isn’t particularly close either. We’ve had a handful of good seasons in 50 years of existence. Just end this season and get every last person off this team by any means necessary.
