1-2-3 inning for new Mariners reliever Mike Baumann in the 10th.
H/t to the M's hitters.
“As soon as he got DFA’d… all of our hitters were like, ‘We need to get that guy. That guy is disgusting.'"

It’s always funny after a sweep or win streak to check the same Ms accounts that post four thinkpiece tweet threads a day when the team is struggling and find complete radio silence
Love the amount of people who think they are the Mariners FO or own the team.
Dude the ticket prices don't go up or down based on salaries.
Dudes, it isn't your money.
Why downgrade from Murphy to Zavala to save money?
Why trade Kelenic to dump the salaries of Marco and White instead of either keeping him or trading him for something that helps you now?
Why give more to the Twins to take DeSclafani instead of keeping him as rotation depth?
This is the issue with trying to do everything as cheaply as possible.
You become worse in the future while only getting marginally better in the present, which is exactly what Jerry’s done everywhere he’s been.
Trading Gabby Gonzalez for Jorge Polanco is a perfectly reasonable deal to make for a team in win-now mode, nothing to complain about there.
The question is whether the Mariners are really trying to “win now”
If they were, why downgrade from Suarez to Urias at 3B to save money?
