Wow, what a week. In a wild turn of events, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lookoutlanding.com\/fanpost-fridays\/133880\/friday-feedbag-road-woes-playoffs-and-the-division-championship-no-one-seems-to-want#comments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">the Mariners surely read my piece last week<\/a> and took my advice to heart as they ripped off 6-game winning streak starting last Saturday in Atlanta. They started being themselves and playing up to their talent level and potential again, and may or may not have gotten a boost from a <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.mynorthwest.com\/mlb\/seattle-mariners\/seattle-mariners-etsy-witch-snap-skid\/1821503\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">certain lovely Etsy Witch<\/a>, and here we are:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">First place in the division that no one wanted to win a week ago, but now the Rangers have been nipping at the heels of the Mariners and Astros. What a turn of events. What will next week hold?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Hopefully more of the continued rise of what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lookoutlanding.com\/about-last-night\/134213\/the-mariners-are-running-on-cutie-pie-power\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Zach Mason and others here have dubbed as \u201cCutie Pie Power.\u201d <\/a>Leo Rivas\u2019 walk-off dinger in the 13th? Cutie Pie Power. Harry Ford\u2019s walk-off sac-fly in the 12th? Cutie Pie Power. Eduard Bazardo striking out fools in high-leverage innings? Cutie Pie Power. Everything Eugenio Su\u00e1rez does on and off the field? Obvious Cutie Pie Power.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This Mariners team is full of Cutie Pies and guys who do Cutie Pie things. Much like the \u201cYou Gotta Love These Guys\u201d Mariners teams of yore, this team seems have more personality than your average MLB team. Or, it might just be that they\u2019re winning a lot and winning is fun so they\u2019re all in good moods most of the time. Who can say?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">What matters is that they are hot once again at the right time. I sure hope they stay that way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">THIS WEEK\u2019S FEEDBAG PROMPT<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I invite you to wildly speculate on what has changed with this Mariners team in the last week. Is it the mustaches? Is it witchcraft? Is it Cutie Pie Power? Are they just simply doing things good baseball players do? Talk about it as outlandishly as you want within site guidelines in the comments and on THE FEED.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Have a great weekend and hey how about a sweep of the Angels? Maybe some blowout victories even? I\u2019ll take whatever I can get. Go Mariners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hello and welcome back to the Friday Feedbag. Wow, what a week.
