WATCH: Mariners Hype Video Will Have You Ready For Opening Day
The Mariners don't open the season until 10:10 p.m. ET on Thursday. That's too bad, because this hype video from the club's social media team probably has M's fans ready to go this second.
The hype video from the Mariners social media team is just over two minutes long and features just about everything a Mariners fan could want to see and hear.
It shows Cal Raleigh's iconic home run that ended the 20-year playoff drought. It shows highlights and a montage including important Mariners like Matt Brash, Julio Rodriguez, Ty France, Luis Castillo and more. It shows manager Scott Servais saying that he'll never forget how the champagne in Toronto tasted after the M's won the wild card playoff round against the Blue Jays -- and that the team will never forget how it felt after it lost to the Astros in Game of the ALDS.
It also features Rodriguez saying that the goal for 2023 is to "Win it all!"
The Mariners certainly have the pieces to win it all. They are armed with great pitching, pitching that Jeff Passan of ESPN recently said might feature the best rotation in baseball. They have an elite bullpen full of flamethrowers like Munoz, Brash and Paul Sewald.
The M's have also bolstered the offense by adding Teoscar Hernandez and Kolten Wong.
They have playoff experience, they have the right pieces, and they have Rodriguez, among the best young players in all of baseball.
All that's left is to do it.
The Mariners will take on the Guardians on Thursday night. Castillo will pitch against former Cy Young Award winner, Shane Bieber.
