WAZZZAAAAHHHHH and welcome to FanPost Friday. Hey, guess what? The Mariners are still tied for first place in the AL West and it’s April 23. They split a series with the Infinity Gauntlet that is the Los Angeles Dodgers and just took game one from the very good Boston Red Sox with their most #ChaosBall victory to date:
That Mariners 7-3-0 scoreboard line is only the third 7-3-0 by any team since World War 2!
— Jayson Stark (@jaysonst) April 23, 2021
The others:
Cubs on Oct. 5, 1991
Pirates on Sept. 13, 1978
But the Mariners are the first AL team ever with a 7-3-0
Who knew!
I mean, uh, we all know this nonsense is not sustainable, but holy moly it is very fun and entertaining. The staff weighed in with our belief levels earlier this week and now it’s your turn. So, that brings us to the question at hand!
How long will Chaos Ball reign?

Borrowing a question from the LL podcast, which hitter outside of France, Haniger, and Seager do you think will become another reliable batter in the lineup? (Leaving Lewis out for now since he just came back)

Before I go, one quick plug for a new shirt from BreakingT! Part of the proceeds go directly to LL staff to help fund all this glorious free Mariners content!
All right, that’s it for me. Please elaborate on any of your poll answers in the comments as needed. Go Mariners, please bum out all the fans in Boston, and keep the Chaos Ball alive!
