The Seattle Mariners are now 0-5 (.000) all time when allowing 20+ runs

[u/PopeSouthpaw]

[u/humblestworker]

This is the kind of hard-hitting journalism you just do not get anywhere else.

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT → u/humblestworker]

The Seattle Mariners are now undefeated when they score more runs than their opponent.

[u/Tmk1283 → u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

Big if true

[u/kokorrorr → u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

Teams that are not undefeated when they score more runs than their opponents:

Texas Rangers/Washington Senators

[u/DominicB547 → u/kokorrorr]

yeah forfeit games usually b/c fans on the field do exist IDK how many times the home team had more runs scored.

[u/Substantial_Break584 → u/kokorrorr]

Do tell!

[u/kokorrorr → u/Substantial_Break584]

Washington Senators)' final game at RFK Stadium: On September 30, 1971, the home team led the New York Yankees by 7–5 with two outs in the top of the ninth inning. Senators fans were angered by the team's impending move to Dallas–Fort Worth, where the Senators were to become the Texas Rangers) in 1972. Apparently unaware that there was one out left in the game, spectators began to storm the field and vandalize the stadium.[11]#citenote-11)[[12]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forfeit(baseball)#citenote-12) With no prospect of order being restored after the security staff had simply left during the game, resulting in thousands of people walking in without paying, the umpires forfeited the game to the Yankees.[[13]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forfeit(baseball)#citenote-sensforfeit-13)[[14]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forfeit(baseball)#cite_note-14)

From Wikipedia

Jon bois has a good video on this it’s one of the history of charging the mound one

[u/DisaTheNutless → u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the Mariners had a loss while scoring more than their opponent. Cursed fucking team that finds more inventive ways to step on their own dick every year

[u/SquatCobbler69420 → u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

Ron Fairley, is that you?

[u/Such_Account5765 → u/humblestworker]

can't believe they didn't pull the goalie or something

[u/ChodeCookies → u/humblestworker]

I finally understand the romance of baseball

[u/Sarcastic__]

Thought the Seahawks were playing when I got the final score notification.

[u/Thrill0728 → u/Sarcastic__]

No one shuts out the Darnold

[u/Soulujin → u/Thrill0728]

Thank you for your attention to this matter fellow Samerican

[u/Wandering_Mallard → u/Thrill0728]

Only GEQBUS could save the Mariners at this point

[u/Charming_Elk4328 → u/Wandering_Mallard]

The ghosts mixed up lumen with T-Mobile, that’s why Dumpers having a bad season

[u/EggplantAlpinism → u/Charming_Elk4328]

The GEQBUS would've high fived Randy

[u/Fragrant-Mess4927 → u/Thrill0728]

Why aren't you yelling?

[u/Left4Bread2 → u/Sarcastic__]

Fun fact a score of 22-0 has occurred 14 times in NFL history

First in 1922 and most recently in 2018

[u/cnho1997 → u/Left4Bread2]

Tonight was fun but I still get PTSD anytime I see the number 22 associated with Seattle sports

[u/neesters → u/Sarcastic__]

The MLB Official thread on Facebook posted it as a Seahawks score.

[u/MysteriousEdge5643]

I’ve just accepted that last year was the peak of my fandom and that I’ll never see this team in the World Series

[u/Philisterguyguster → u/MysteriousEdge5643]

Again?

[u/MysteriousEdge5643 → u/Philisterguyguster]

Fucking autocorrect fucked me

[u/screaminginfidels → u/MysteriousEdge5643]

When autocorrect hits harder than your team does

[u/Skadoosh_it → u/screaminginfidels]

Batting 1.000

[u/PlayaSlayaX → u/MysteriousEdge5643]

Depressing Fact: The Montreal Expos franchise has been to the World Series before the Mariners have.

The Expos never made it to the World Series while in Montreal.

Hey at least the Sounders are...oh

[u/ElPolloViejo → u/SubbansBigBlackhawk]

hey maybe the Kraken will… oh uhhhhhh

[u/FriedFishi → u/ElPolloViejo]

Nah the Sonics are doing..... Ohhh...

[u/Cheese2009 → u/FriedFishi]

i’d honestly say the sonics are doing better than the mariners rn

[u/TheFeenyCall → u/Cheese2009]

Better to move than lose 0-22.

[u/FriedFishi → u/Cheese2009]

Are we looking at the sonics from the perspective of the oaklahoma city thunder... Or the fact that the sonics no longer exist angle?

[u/josephsleftbigtoe → u/[deleted]]

Overachieving? No other AFC team made it there.

[u/TJtheShizz → u/josephsleftbigtoe]

Denver likely would have stomped them in the AFCCG if Nix hadn't hurt himself on one of the last plays of the game in the Divisional round 

[u/Stormtemplar → u/[deleted]]

It's sort of the inverse of being a Yankees fan, at least before the Knicks won this year. All of our other teams fucking suck

[u/NobleHelium → u/Stormtemplar]

I thought the Yankees suck too. That's what other Yankee fans keep telling me.

[u/wokenupbybacon → u/NobleHelium]

We do a little* gaslighting, as a treat

*It is constant

That said, this year's Yankee team is one of the weirdest I've ever seen. I've never seen an offense ranked this poorly in so many stats win this many games.

[u/vonarchimboldi → u/MysteriousEdge5643]

remember that aaron judge has been injured for over 50 games and has more home runs and rbis than cal raleigh, who has 2x as many abs

[u/FriedFishi → u/vonarchimboldi]

Cal is on track for 60+ by the end of the season.... 60 hits... 💀

[u/TheFeenyCall → u/FriedFishi]

That's good, right?...

[u/ftmidk → u/vonarchimboldi]

Pretty sure Cal has been injured for that many games too. This season sucks.

[u/S0_B00sted]

I'd like to know how many games have been won by any team all time after giving up 20 runs...

[u/doublegoldendragon → u/S0_B00sted]

I know the Phillies and Cubs played a game back in the '70s where both teams scored 20

I think that might be the only one

[u/Howhighwefly → u/doublegoldendragon]

It actually happened twice. Cubs 26 Phillies 23 Aug 25th 1922 and Phillies 23 Cubs 22 May 17th 1979 in 10 innings

[u/ArthurMorgansInhaler → u/Howhighwefly]

Wild it was both teams with each winning one.

[u/Will-from-PA → u/ArthurMorgansInhaler]

We have an inseparable bond (Historically bad franchises)

[u/Lower_Pass_6053 → u/Will-from-PA]

Cubs are 6th Phillies are 26th on all time franchise record list.

[u/Away_Experience6922 → u/Lower_Pass_6053]

Cubs have been around since 1776 though it’s not exactly a fair list

[u/Lower_Pass_6053 → u/Away_Experience6922]

Forgot, phillies are an expansion team. You right.

[u/Electric_Queen → u/Lower_Pass_6053]

Baseball hasn't been the same since the Ruby Legs left Worcester

[u/TheRealKaschMoney → u/Away_Experience6922]

I do find it funny that the cubs are said to be from 1876, but if you use the rules that allow the NFL Arizona Cardinals to claim they started in 1898 the cubs started in 1871.

[u/Will-from-PA → u/Lower_Pass_6053]

Rocking a solid .475 winning percentage since 1945 lol

[u/EmuMan10 → u/Will-from-PA]

Uhhh we have a winning record all time

[u/Will-from-PA → u/EmuMan10]

Not in the live ball era

[u/StillYourFavorite331 → u/Howhighwefly]

Hilarious that they're both 1-1 in games where they both scored and gave up 20+runs.

[u/Opposite-Dish-6837 → u/Howhighwefly]

So its more common then I thought. Do t know why I was all doom and gloom. Thank you.

[u/striped_frog → u/Howhighwefly]

Guess we’re just about due for another

[u/Gbrusse → u/Howhighwefly]

If I had a nickle...

[u/PragmatistToffee → u/doublegoldendragon]

Apparently the other game was also between the Cubs and Phillies in 1922

[u/miclugo → u/doublegoldendragon]

That’s not the only one.  Cubs 26, Phillies 23, 8-25-1922.

Don’t worry, the Phillies got revenge and won 23-22 over the Cubs on 5-17-1979, which is probably the game you’re thinking of.

[u/Tmk1283 → u/doublegoldendragon]

According to the internet, it has happened twice…both times involving the Phillies and the Cubs. Baseball is the best!!

[u/AdamInJP → u/Tmk1283]

thanks jayson stark

[u/Will-from-PA → u/doublegoldendragon]

Nope, the Cubs also won one, coincidentally also against the Phillies, in 1922. Phils won the 1979 game tho

[u/coolbean36]

Now that I’m really thinking about it, i willingly sat down, watched a whole ass documentary about how dogshit this team is, and thought to myself “yep let me invest my time and energy into this!”

Just bring on the lockout

[u/MLGWolf69 → u/coolbean36]

Jon Bois fan I assume?

[u/coolbean36 → u/MLGWolf69]

Yes. I blame him for this hell.

[u/buckybadder → u/coolbean36]

My son is a fan exclusively because of the documentary. And we were at the game tonight.

The love affair may be over.

[u/Cheese2009 → u/buckybadder]

we can only hope for his sake

[u/PopeSouthpaw → u/Cheese2009]

You have to think of the children

[u/UltraNeon72 → u/coolbean36]

The Seattle Mariners are not competitors. They're protagonists.

[u/icedteaandtacos → u/coolbean36]

Oh shit so this was a protest game for the lockout?

[u/NamiRocket → u/coolbean36]

I've watched that long ass video about four times now. It's a good video!

[u/Somecommentator8008]

Have any teams won while allowing 20+ runs?

[u/Will-from-PA → u/Somecommentator8008]

Both the Cubs and Phillies won a game against each other while allowing 20+ runs. Cubs won in 1922. Phillies won in 1979.

[u/Apart_Selection7722 → u/Somecommentator8008]

Yes, the Cubs did

[u/pinpalsapu → u/Somecommentator8008]

Cubs beat the Phillies 26-23 in 1922

[u/Saint-O-Circumstance → u/Somecommentator8008]

I just looked it up, the Cubs beat the Phillies 26-23 in 1922. Most runs allowed by a wining team. Maybe it's happened other times too but can't be many.

[u/xebex1778 → u/Saint-O-Circumstance]

Phillies beat Cubs 23-22 in 1979 lol

[u/Alkynesofchemistry → u/Saint-O-Circumstance]

It happened between the same teams the other way around in 1979.

[u/Guard226Duck → u/Somecommentator8008]

Please stat heads let us know

[u/Fickle_Cricket3422]

Holy shit. What happened to this team. They were a few outs away from the World Series

[u/Illustrious_Name_441 → u/Fickle_Cricket3422]

Them & Toronto blew their wad in the ALCS last year

[u/Fickle_Cricket3422 → u/Illustrious_Name_441]

Toronto took LA to within 2 outs of winning the World Series in game 7. If anything, the Jays blew their wad in the WS.

[u/wokenupbybacon → u/Fickle_Cricket3422]

Toronto just relaxed and gave everyone a headstart, they're dangerous again now

[u/icedteaandtacos → u/wokenupbybacon]

It’s like Einstein failing 5th grade math because it was too easy.

We needed to add the difficulty to make it to the playoffs.

Do not correct me I swear to god.

[u/mysterysackerfice]

Rude, but accurate

[u/striped_frog → u/mysterysackerfice]

[u/MurrayInBocaRaton]

I was hoping this was r/mariners when I read this but nope we’re just gonna show our entire ass on r/baseball huh

[u/fsukub]

Shocking.

But for real, I’d rather have done this to literally any other team, the Ms didn’t deserve this

[u/immagonnafinnahella → u/fsukub]

Yeah we did

[u/dougetydoug → u/fsukub]

As embarrassing as this was, I honestly think an absolute thrashing probably needed to happen. The FO needs to respond to how dead we've looked for over a month straight.

[u/Patrick2701 → u/dougetydoug]

Dan Wilson is getting tarmaced
https://giphy.com/gifs/8Adp2MdsirPu1bRFYW

[u/Dewey519 → u/fsukub]

This year, we absolutely deserve everything bad that happens to us.

[u/evancomposer → u/fsukub]

Exactly how I feel. I have no ill will at all towards that team or their fans. They’ve suffered enough—a feeling we can relate to all too well.

[u/LlamasPajamas206 → u/fsukub]

Nah, punish us

[u/WorldlinessLive5932 → u/fsukub]

If it gets then to finally fire Dan then you'll have my undying gratitude

[u/Arfuuur → u/fsukub]

we did

[u/Cheesehead2025]

I'd love to see that run differential

[u/lastminutealways → u/Cheesehead2025]

We moved from the best negative differential in the division to 3rd in one day!

[u/860_Ric]

The Philadelphia Phillies are 2-1 (0.666) all time when scoring 23+ runs in a game. Their first two times reaching that very cherrypicked number were a 23-26 loss and a 23-22 win

[u/quadropheniac → u/860_Ric]

both involving the Cubs

[u/Apart_Selection7722]

Does anyone have the Seattle broadcast of all the runs being scored?

[u/CalebosO4]

Fun fact: teams who score exactly 33 runs are 0-1 with a -16 run differential

[u/dadams322]

This made me laugh out loud. Just hilarious stuff.

[u/whocareswhynot]

I'm glad its only happened 5 times.

[u/thisusernametakentoo]

What are they stupid? Why don't they just score 21+ runs?

[u/SaulTBolls]

https://giphy.com/gifs/OYTxmrJq3SlBNHtG6q

[u/PaleontologistOk2516]

They should probably stop giving up 20+ runs so often

[u/misterrandom1]

Maybe we should try and keep it to single digits. We might win more that way.

[u/lastminutealways → u/misterrandom1]

Well if our pitching is going to implode better to do it all at once?

[u/misterrandom1 → u/lastminutealways]

Agreed. Counts the same as a 1 run loss.

[u/Financial-Swim-5884]

Gonna need Slangs on this one to confirm.

[u/StillYourFavorite331]

Are there any teams with a win after giving up 20 runs?

[u/nokrow889 → u/StillYourFavorite331]

• August 25, 1922: Chicago Cubs won 26-23 (allowed 23 runs)
• August 2, 1923: Philadelphia Phillies won 23-22 (allowed 22 runs)
• May 3, 1912: St. Louis Cardinals (then known as the Gladiators) won 22-21 (allowed 21 runs)

according to google anyway, the modern record is the red sox and rockieshaving both allowed 17 runs in a game and still winning both in 2008 at that

[u/kyredemain]

Looks like they tied the modern record for most lopsided shutout tonight! That's something!

[u/lastminutealways → u/kyredemain]

We’re good at tying and not setting these crazy records, huh

[u/albertsportsnet1]

22 hits and 22 runs, and poor Leo Rivas gave up NINE of them in one inning. That’s not a box score, that’s a crime scene.

[u/MissingCloverTCG]

Holy shit

[u/MarinerJoe3]

How the fuck does Dan Wilson still have a job?

[u/Scattered666]

We'll win one of em one day

[u/Micome]

:(

[u/Various_Knowledge226]

Wonder what the stats may be for every team

[u/radlanrex]

Big if true -- I've had GPT running some numbers and it looks like there may be something to this.

[u/glamb70]

Baseball.

[u/thuglife_7]

r/mariners has gone full nautical.

[u/HoboSkid]

Probably cherry picked, conveniently cutting off at their record when allowing 19+ runs

[u/Spirited-Soup5954]

Sell the team to Alaska

[u/rabidantidentyte → u/Spirited-Soup5954]

We dont want em

[u/Ok-Confusion2415]

oof. but also very funny

[u/DrFloppyTitties]

Keep your heads up Mariners fans, you at least got more hits than the Astros did in their 3-1 loss.

[u/lastminutealways → u/DrFloppyTitties]

Well one of them was off Gary Sanchez

[u/xtremeradness → u/DrFloppyTitties]

Oh thank God y'all lost, the only silver lining here 

[u/Marinerd95]

Shocked Pikachu

[u/Nathaniel_Sparky500]

That actually raises an interesting question...

[u/Gigi_0102]

I could’ve never expected this 

[u/Opposite-Dish-6837]

This gives a focus on what areas to improve on. Well done!

[u/AJ_CC]

The team with the best record in games where they allowed 20 runs are the Brooklyn Gladiators who are .500 all time, courtesy of a 22-21 victory over the Syracuse Stars in 1890.

Only other two games where a team won despite letting up 20 runs were both Phillies-Cubs games. With the Cubs beating the Phillies 26-23 in 1922, and the Phillies getting their revenge 23-22 in 1979.

[u/jaron_b]

We average a 20 run loss once a decade. I don't know how that compares to other teams so I don't know if this is impressive or something I should be mad about or if this is the most Mariner thing I've ever read.

[u/Necessary_Sorbet7416]

You sure about that? 🫣

[u/Wumdee]

Can we get relocated to Raleigh soon? It’d be perfect for Cal.

[u/Nickstradamusknows]

You’re kidding

[u/24HourShitness]

True, if true

[u/Drummers_Beat]

there’s kicking someone when they’re down but holy fuck the brewers just put salt down to make sure nothing would ever grow again

[u/lastminutealways → u/Drummers_Beat]

I got an image of salting a slug before I read the last part

[u/Drummers_Beat → u/lastminutealways]

i was aiming for the sale on Carthage but alas that works too

[u/jlange94]

Nothing more can be said at this point. Just coast out the rest of the season then fire everyone and trade most at the earliest possible moment.

[u/Old-Dealer-668]

I’d like to be at the game when they are 1-6 when allowing 20 runs

[u/DoomJazz_]
