You can't even make this up

Since MLB went to the wild card in 1995:

1995 - 2011 (one wild card from each league)
Nine teams won 93 games during the regular season. Five of them made the postseason, four didn't. The Mariners were two of the four who didn't.

2012 - 2021 (two wild card teams from each league)
Nine teams won 90 games during the regular season. Six of them made the postseason, three didn't. The Mariners were one of the three who didn't.
Five teams won 89 games during the regular season. Four of them made the postseason, one didn't. The Mariners were that one.
Five teams won 87 games during the regular season. Four of them made the postseason, one didn't. The Mariners were that one.
(those last two lines are not a misprint)

2022 - 2024 (three wild card teams from each league)
Eight teams have won between 85-88 games during the regular season. Five of them made the postseason, three didn't. The Mariners were two of the three that didn't.

And this doesn't include all the teams that won less games than the amounts listed yet made the postseason.

How the hell is this even possible.

The curse of Ken Griffey Jr.? When you have a generational talent and build a stadium that doesn't suite him? You piss off the Baseball gods? I mean, what other explanation is there? That is insanity! I can't believe I have never seen anything breaking that down until today.

If we were to ever attribute a curse to a person and/or event, without question it should be Lenny Randle blowing the ball foul. That's just too unique and awesome a moment to bypass for something generic.

Foul line and Doing Blow and adjusting Lines. Its a helluva drug. Me Lenny and Maury share the blame.

If there's a higher power at work here it's punishing Seattle for allowing a bunch of Satan worshipping commies to take it over.

Nice work
9/15 total = 60%. How much differently would we all feel if instead of have the 4 playoff in the 90's into the 2000s and just 1 in the last 3+ years we were working with a club with a streak of 6 runs in a row and another couple spread out over the 2000s?

They are taking 1/2 measures. They needed to do what they did and added at least 1 if not 2 to the back end. I always preferred a lefty and a righty but even if it was just Duran and Finnegan, you would be so much more built for postseason. Disappointed

All the more reason for them to have spent some money on an impact player or two after the rebuild instead of going the quantity over quality route to try and save money.

Preaching to the choir there brother. They could have ponied up prospect capitol for 3 years of Duran or 5 years of Mason Miller.
