The hard sequence for Seattle Mariners.
With the victories back on athletics Tuesday and Wednesday at the Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, California, the M won nine consecutive series for the first time since their record season of 116 wins in 2001. They improved at 22-14 in the season, extended the advance in the Al West to three games on the A and moved a match of the season behind (22-13) for the best record of al.
Al West classification
Here are three things that stand out after Seattle’s last victory.
Always inside late
The navy dragged in the eighth round or later in the three games in the series, returned to win two of these games and forced additional sleeves in the other. It starts to become a business card for this team.
The series of the victories of the series started thanks to the dramatic end of game when Randy Arozarena struck an eighth round of Grand Chelem and worked a walk during a 7-6 victory in the 7-6 series on the Astros on April 9. From their 19 victories during the sequence of nine series, five came while the M’s Track during the seventh round or later. And the figures show that Seattle was one of the best in the MLB on the plate and on the mound in end of game situations.
The offensive is fifth in MLB in marked points (65), seventh on average in the stick (0.257) and third in basic percentage (0.370) in seventh round or later this season. Meanwhile, pitching is seventh in the era (3.43).
To look like the biggest Challengers of M
The navies have just finished an important part of their calendar which included 18 division games in the first 36, and they move away in good position after having taken 13-5 against the Al West. The biggest point to remember from 18 division games from the start? Athletics resembles their most difficult competition.
Yes, the same team of A who won only 50 games in 2023 and 69 games last year. However, the strong start of the Oakland -based team until 2025 should not be too surprising. The A started to show real signs of progress during the second half of last season, going 39-37 after falling to a 30-56 fate of the season on June 30.
What really stands out in the A is that they assembled a group of position players with a pedigree in the first round, that this was via their own recovery capital, exchanges or derogation microphones.
Here is an overview of how A have acquired several of their main contributors in attack:
• Brent Rooker (a choice of first round in 2017 by Minnesota) asked for derogations in the Royals in November 2022.
• Shea Langeliers (Global choice n ° 9 of Atlanta in 2019) acquired in the trade which sent the first goal player Matt Olson to Braves.
• JJ Bleday (Global choice n ° 4 of Miami in 2019) acquired from Marlins for the AJ PUK lifter.
• Tyler Soderstrom written in the first round in 2020.
• Jacob Wilson wrote No. 6 in total in 2023.
• Nick Kurtz wrote No. 4 in total in 2024.
The A also had players such as the choice of sixth round 2019 Lawrence Butler Blossom in large productive leaguers and struck the Gio Urshela and Luis Severino. Oh Yeah, and Mason Miller, a third round choice in 2021, has become one of the best closers in the game.
A get a lot of flack for their current relocation saga, and rightly so, but they are successful when it comes to assembling a list on a Bustring Budget.
Everyone continues to reprimand
The navies have received a lot of production from basic players and veterans like Cal Raleigh, JP Crawford, Jorge Polyco and Randy Arozarena. They also get more than expected from their players, which was a large part of the team’s success.
Leody Taveras became the last to climb its name on the Big-in-A-High-Lefet seating list in its debut with the team on Wednesday. Taveras, which was claimed from derogations from Rangers the day before, came with a single RBI single in eighth round. This was followed by a double shot of the bat of the Dylan Moore utility, who left for the better start of his career. And Rowdy Telz, a signature of a minor league during spring training, brought the M back in the match with a three -point home run to the sixth.
On Monday, it was the recruit Ben Williamson who proposed the single equally that forced the extras and gave Seattle a chance. The next day, the utility, Miles Mastrobuoni, played a key role in the M victory, hitting a pair of left doubles on Left and driving in a race.
It takes more than a few stars to make a great baseball team (ask Mike Trout and Los Angeles Angels), and Seattle obtains the production he needs his players.
