Hello and welcome back to FanPost Friday! Happy Bey-Day to those who celebrate, this one goes out to the Houston Astros:

“You won’t break my soul / I’m tellin’ everybody.”

We’ll move onto the #GoodVibesOnly segment of this post, but first we all just need to collectively keep in mind that this Houston series and the following Yankees series will not make or break this 2022 season. Obviously, we want a few wins, yes. But, even if we don’t get them, the rest of schedule is among the most favorable across the league which is a lovely contrast to the strength of schedule the Mariners persisted through during the first few months of the season. Losing any number of these games to the Astros and Yankees will not prevent the Mariners from ending the playoff drought. So, I gently suggest that we save the freakouts and meLLtdowns for September and October because something tells me we need to conserve our mental energy as fans for what may come.

All that said, wow, it has truly been a wild ride for Mariners fans this season and we’re just now getting to the crucial part. Hopefully it’s the most fun part, but if not, well at least we had the 14-game winning streak and Julio Rodríguez putting the baseball world on notice with 81 Home Run Derby dingers, right? However, I am very hopeful and optimisitic that the vibes will only continue to improve.

On that note, this is your officiaLL #GoodVibesOnly check! Let’s hit the polls!

    East Coast bias will surely strike again or they’ll give it to Ohtani as a consolation prize for playing for the Angels.
