The Seattle Mariners Need A MAJOR Shakeup... This Season Is Over.

Make it five-straight losses for the Seattle Mariners, against teams that are not contenders, or even in a playoff spot right now. Mariners have dropped three-games to the Tigers, and then two-games to the Pirates. The Mariners are now 3.5 games back of the AL West top spot, and 5 games back of the Wild Card. 

Our two co-founders, brothers @GeorgeONTap and @SamiONTap will each break down some of their thoughts from today: 

George's Thoughts: 

RIP to the 2024 Seattle Mariners. Season is over. When you strive to be mediocre, SHOCKER you get a mediocre product.

I don't want to hear anything positive from this fan base either. This is actually the fault of Mariners twitter and the fan base. For being so happy this off-season about our 'upgrades.'

We took the most conservative route to 'get better' we demand nothing from this front office after Jerry Dipoto's  slap in the face "54%" comments. We did this to ourselves.

I was one of them that believed too. I feel like an idiot. We are wasting a pitching staff unlike one we probably will ever see again too. This is just a joke of a team, a joke of a franchise.

CLEAN THE HOUSE this off-season for Gods sake. I plain and simply do not believe in Jerry Dipoto or Scott Servais or their plan anymore.

Sami's Thoughts: 

It's hard to the see the positive at this point. I have tried, many different times, to just look at the good side of things, but it's hard when you know the division is going to get out of reach soon, and the wild card is pretty much getting out of reach already. 

What leads me to believe there is any chance this group of guys turns it around? What evidence is there? NONE. 

If this season ends again with no playoffs, that is two years in a row, two season where the 'goal' was to win it all, and we didn't even make the playoffs. Sure you could blame this on John Stanton for being cheap, BUT you can also blame Jerry Dipoto for now finding the right guys at the right price. 

If we miss the playoffs, I say fire them all. Fire Jerry, Fire Scott Servais, the entire staff needs to be gone. Gut it all.
