Amazing with all the talent on those teams, the best they could do was win 2 playoff series.
-Manager: Lou Pinella (should be HOF)
-Griffey in his prime
-A-Rod
-Randy Johnson
-Edgar Martinez
-Ichiro
-Jamie Moyer
-Jay Buhner
Plus a ton of good all star talent filler pieces like Joey Cora, Dan Wilson, John Olarud, Freddy Garcia, Brett Boone, Jose Mesa, Norm Charlton, Mike Cameron,

If not for a historically good Yankees dynasty they’d have won back to back rings. Just bad luck sometimes.

What's crazy is the 01 team was their best despite losing both Griffey and Randy Johnson.

That had no pitching after Johnson. By the time they finally found some pitching, most of their stars were traded, retired, or left as a UFA.

They advanced to the ALCS three times.
They lost to the ‘95 Indians who had an historically great offense.
They also lost to the Yankees dynasty-era squads.
This isn’t NHL or NBA. Bad or mediocre teams typically weren’t going to find a way to the postseason. That corps turned arguably the worst MLB franchise into WS contenders.

David Ortiz was in the M’s farm system 1992-1996.

Those 90s Mariners teams were my favorite along with the Indians

Then they stopped caring.

Their 97 squad was so loaded. They really underachieved that year. They were everyone's pick to win it all at the start of the year.

Jay Bruhner with a big wad of dip was the goat.
Dude hit the shite out of the ball.

They had a historically bad bullpen. In 1997, they had a bullpen ERA of 5.47, In ‘98, their bullpen ERA was over 5 and in 1999, they had a bullpen ERA of 5.94. It doesn’t matter how good the rest of the team is. No team is winning anything with a bullpen that bad.

"How can you trade Jay Buhner???"

Growing up a Rangers fan in the 80s and 90s I couldn't stand the Mariners.

I think about how those early 90's Expos were in the same boat.

Mariners couldn’t find decent relief pitching. Every 9th inning was an adventure Bc they had no competent closer.

So which is it?
Is he a shitty manager that wasted talent?
Or is he a HOFer?
Can't be both.

Ichiro didn’t play with most of these guys. Johnson, Griffey, and Arod were all gone by the 00s. Those three were only together for years right when Arod got to the majors. The Griffey crew couldn’t break through because their bullpen was historically bad
