Swag Master Gordon on The Patrol Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports Seeing him march around the middle infield looking as swagged out as ever could make any normy M’s fan into a lifer. I love Dee Gordon not because he’s an exceptional second baseman, but because he brings me joy through his speed, smile and charisma. This was the beauty of Turn Ahead The Clock Night, not the Mandalorians or cheesy space themed ads on MarinersVision.

The Mariners are a fun organization (every organization has its drawbacks of course) and more importantly they field fun players. My favorite experiences with the Mariners have never been centered around wins or losses but rather the types of teams they field and the things they do. It is these types of fun events that create lifelong fans. It’s very well possible that the M’s are master manipulators and I continue to fall right into their trap however, there’s never been a time that I’ve seemed to care. We want to feel a part of something that matters.Īlthough I was negative-201 days old the last time Mariners played playoff baseball, it is acts like these that keep me just as engaged as ever. We want to feel special and we want to feel cared about.

Us fans are simple, really we don’t want wins or splashy free agent signings or big flashy new stadiums. Yet that’s the beautiful thing about baseball: none of it really matters, but it all matters. Really there are few baseball games that in the current point of a season you know matter. In all actuality a late June game against a team knee-deep in a messy rebuild shouldn't matter. Turn Ahead The Clock Night was special because if you look past the corny gimmicks it was everything that I have grown to love about baseball in one shiny, futuristic package. Every team goes through dry spells, so in a ‘what have you done for me recently’-centric society, what keeps butts in seats and eyes on screens? Yes, it was easy to get invested in this game because the Mariners had been winning, but winning is short-lived. This was cool and fun because it was unique and it was different, the two most refreshing things in a sport as old as dirt with stubborn head honchos that permit changes about as often as Braden Bishop drops pop flies. I was fairly apathetic to the game being played on the baseball diamond, yet found myself feeling the whimsical feeling I got as a young child on Tote Bag night at my local Short A ballpark. But here is the thing: these jerseys were ours, and more than anything they were different. Do these look anything like the gurus back in 1998 thought jerseys might in 2027? No, not at all (considering the uproar over a 2 by 1 inch swoosh recently these sleeveless wonders might have been more ambitious than initially thought). (If you wish to get into the nitty gritty Amanda has you hooked up with the game recap.)ĭo these jerseys look good? No, not particularly. The Mariners would go onto win the game 6-4, but that’s not what this article is really about. Sleeveless Nelson Cruz: “That’s pure intimidation” /OBl5NeJ9kH- TJ Cotterill July 1, 2018 Since tied a career high with 4 hits, he got to judge best uniform on #Mariners’ Turn Ahead the Clock Night.

Dee Gordon is patrolling 2B with a backwards hat and making Gold Glove caliber plays.That’s right: Turn Ahead the Clock Night V2, Baby!! Yet why would I (a standup Subway employee in every sense of the word) be found skipping out on my very important Sandwich Artist duties to indulge myself in something as trivial as a silly baseball game? Yeah, he still mashes in 2027 Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports Tonight the Mariners are playing the foundering Kansas City Royals. Our big brain friends over at analytics website fivethirtyeight two days later would give the Mariners an 81% chance of making the playoffs. 500 (!!!!), Nelson Cruz is mashing (Boomstick baby), Edwin Diaz is doing Edwin Diaz things and Dee Gordon is being just as fun and charismatic as ever.

My eyes fixate on my cracked phone screen as I house frozen pucks of white chocolate macadamia nut cookie dough. My eyes light up uncharacteristically bright for a Subway employee as I sit hunched over at the manager’s desk.
