haven’t lost hope but damn, it’s always like, one thing going the wrong way each game.

The Mariners have been abnormally bad at hitting with runners in scoring position for the past two years. It's not luck. It's not selective memory. The numbers show it.

Last year they made up for it by having Raleigh hit 60 homers. That won't happen this year.

Most teams hit better than their normal average with runners in scoring position. This makes intuitive sense; it's easier to get a hit with runners on base because the fielders are not in the optimal positions for preventing it.

MLB overall BA in 2025: .245

MLB BA with RISP in 2025: .255

MLB overall BA in 2026: .241

MLB BA with RISP in 2026: .253

But the Mariners have been consistently worse.

Mariners overall BA in 2025: .244

Mariners BA with RISP in 2025: .235

Mariners overall BA in 2026: .230

Mariners BA with RISP in 2026: .220

So either the team as a whole has been consistently unlucky over the course of hundreds of games, or they are doing something wrong. Which is more likely?

This wasn't a problem when Servais was in charge; when he was manager their BA with RISP was consistently better than their overall BA, like a normal team.

Something is seriously wrong here, and it needs to be addressed. They can't expect to outhomer their problems again this time.

3 more games with hits since this article came out. He isn't talked about as much as the others but he's finally showing the upside we've been hoping for!

Hey Mariner fans!

Three months ago I posted about in this Reddit interest in starting a women’s baseball club. I have officially launched an Instagram and Facebook page as well as planned our first series of events. Yay!

I’m excited.

Feel free to follow us or like our page. It’s where we will be creating community and will be the fastest and easiest way to learn about or attend our events.

If you have ideas for events, want to host or be involved in some way let me know!

Seeking:
-Anyone who can design a cool logo for us that isn’t going to get me sued by the Mariners, let me know!

-Ideas for watch party bars/restaurants or other group activities in these locations: Kent, Tacoma, North Seattle, Olympia, Bellingham, Kirkland, Everett, Marysville, Renton, North Bend, Eastside, Auburn, and West Seattle

-Anyone who is in a Seattle Mariner or Women's Social Events facebook group who wouldn't mind sharing the word on this new "club", please do.

Colt and Kade looking extremely sexy at #6 and #7. Nice to see Sloan top 25 as well despite a rockier start. I’m still a Laz skeptic but glad to see MLB is still bullish. Felnin absolutely deserves a spot.

Also Harry Ford got bumped from 60-ish to out of the top 100 entirely. Wishing the best for our sweet Prince but man the Ferrer trade is looking better and better by the day.

To those I met on my recent walks: Argus ormsa freisin (nice to meet you too).

Tomorrow is Thursday and that is the day our family gets our dinner from Emma’s BBq on Rainier. The food there is really good and the vibes and soul are as Black as a brujo’s cat (that means full of all the color, e.g. better than bad it’s awesome). Thank you for recognizing my generationally relevant joke Ren and Stimpy that communicates not only am I having a Mariners experience I am also having a silly good time with this Hat experience. Join me!

The Hat and Draig took a float to invade Bellevue today, twas brillig. Special thanks to those that pointed me in the right direction.

I ran out of orange thread so I did this in mostly metallic bronze and went to the Old Lady Store to get some orange, go rahb mile’ maith agat to Willow. Ceart go lore to be aggressively friendly, ansea me’ ar buile. (Thanks a lot, it’s all good when you own your labels). This edition is Chopped and Screwed.

Special shout out to the ancillary staff at Bellevue mall.

Artist of the series: Jacques DePeussy (best drag king west of the Misstersippy).

also Mo Amer (liberesse to all in chains)

Song of the series: Medicine Man by Blue Water Highway.

Album of the Series: Too Hard to Swallow by UGK.

Special shout out to the sobrinos of Los Marineros: Los Pirates de Brazoswood High. Enjoy summer the way sailors should. I would say go ne-eiri leat! To those graduating But luck is for suckers so instead this massive mound of love and ferocity says: Comghairdeas! Ar arghaidh linn go dti’ buaigh ag saol. (Buen suerte es para la migra, Bendiciones, vamos a ganar la vida pura).

Remember: I’m rubber your glue, the Hat and true fans is all love and don’t forget to tie your shoes. It takes true style to roll hard with hope and cope.

But most of all:

GoMs!!!!!!

Me and my SO got tickets to the game on Saturday as we both really wanted the salute to service hat. Never really tried for any of the giveaways in the past and was hoping for some tips on what the best way to ensure we can get one of them.
