Mariners Game #138 Preview: 9/2/24, SEA at OAK

The Mariners start a long four-game set for the final time at the Coliseum

After another dismal series with the Angels, the Mariners head up I-5 to pay their respects to the Coliseum one final time. I won’t miss that foul territory, but it’s sad to see the end of an era nonetheless.

Lineups:

I’m going to start fining teams’ social accounts for using “SEA you” or any variety thereof in their pregame posts. I shall become rich enough to wrest the A’s away from John Fisher.
