The Seattle Mariners have had a tough season, and it looks like it’s only getting worse. After a promising start to the season, the Mariners have been unable to sustain their success and have seen their record decline in recent weeks.
The Mariners began the season with a strong record of 11-7, but since then, they have gone on a downward spiral. They have lost nine of their last eleven games, including a devastating loss to the Oakland Athletics on September 23rd. This loss was especially painful for the Mariners, as it was their fourth straight loss to the A’s.
The Mariners have been struggling in all aspects of the game. Their offense has been inconsistent, and their pitching has been unreliable. The team has also been plagued by injuries, with several key players missing significant time due to injury.
The Mariners’ struggles have been compounded by their inability to win close games. They have lost several games in which they had a lead late in the game, only to see it slip away in the final innings. This has been especially frustrating for the team, as they have been unable to capitalize on their opportunities.
The Mariners are now in danger of missing the playoffs for the third consecutive season. They are currently 5.5 games behind the Houston Astros in the AL West standings, and their chances of making the playoffs are quickly diminishing.
The Mariners will need to turn things around quickly if they want to make a run at the postseason. They will need to find a way to win close games and get consistent production from their offense and pitching staff. If they can do that, they may be able to salvage their season and make a run at the playoffs.
