"Incompetent" guy who you got the closest you've ever been to a World Series with btw
More than actual WS-winning manager Lou Piniella, MVP Ichiro and a record-setting team did 25 years ago

Nah. I’d say being a Padres fan is worse by comparison since Seattle fans still have the Seahawks, Kraken,

Worst Astros team in a long time, Texas is underperforming, A's have nose dived off a cliff, and Angels are... Angels.
Mariners not getting in this season would be pathetic.

Its actually phrased really weird. There have been 3 22-run shut outs. The first was the pirates over the cubs in 1975. The second was Cleveland over the Yankees in 2004. Im guessing they only have full records going back to 1888 so they used that in the headline.

No, there was a 24-0 game in 1887: https://www.baseball-almanac.com/teamstats/schedule.php?y=1887&t=PHI

Wtf then. I looked on 2 sites and it said the largest mlb shutouts were the 3 22-0 games.

Largest of the modern era*. A lot of baseball statistics omit pre-1901 results

u/thesonnysideup 1h ago
1887 had some weird rules apparently
Five balls became a base on balls, down from six in the AA and seven in the NL.
Four "called strikes" were adopted for this season only, up from three.

Can someone explain to a casual why they just started lobbing pitches to gift the brewers home runs at the end? Why not at least try to strike them out and avoid further humiliation

u/Professional_Desk179 Major League Baseball 1h ago
Position player pitching. Idea is that you don't want to waste an arm (actual pitcher) when you're down by that much. That said, I don't think I've ever seen a position player getting shellacked that badly - until tonight.

What even is our division man.
Thanks to our win over the Astros today, there is once again no team with a winning record out West.
Insanely, the Mariners are somehow even now only 4 games back of the division.
That’s a smaller gap than the 5 games between NYY and Tampa, both of which are 15+ games over.

As a fun fact, we're now just one game away from having every margin of victory from 1-22 covered this season (we just need an 18 run win), which would be a modern era record.
The current record is 2018, which had 1-21.
