The Mets Dropped SEVEN Runs on Our Mariners and the Early Season Alarm Bells Are Ringing

Oof. You guys see the final score last night? The New York Mets rolled into T-Mobile Park and just flat-out dropped seven runs on our Mariners, walking away with a brutal 7-1 win. Seriously, a 7-1 loss at home, early in the regular season? That's not the kind of energy we want to be bringing to the Emerald City right now. This one stings, big time. We're barely into things, and seeing our boys get shellacked like that, it's a gut punch for sure.

Where Was the Mariners' Fight?

Look, we're only a short way into the regular season, and every game matters. You look at a performance like that, where our guys only managed to put up one single run against the Mets, and you gotta wonder what's going on. We know what Julio Rodriguez can do, what Cal Raleigh can bring behind the plate, and what this team is capable of when they're clicking. But giving up seven runs and only scoring one? That's a tough look, no matter who's on the mound or at the plate for the other side. When you're looking at early season trends and evaluating who's really earning their keep, a 7-1 shellacking like that makes you think. We need to see more from the bats, and a much tighter ship defensively and from the pitching staff moving forward. This is Seattle, we expect fight from our teams, and last night felt like we just didn't have it.

Shifting gears a bit, because even though it's MLB season, our Hawks are always on our minds! We just got some early word from the NFL that AJ Barner is expected to be ready for camp.

We're bleeding green and blue, and we'll be there, ready to cheer them on to show us that fight. Let's get that W next time out, M's, and show the league what Seattle baseball is really about!
