Whatever this season is going to be, it is going to be weird. Any pre-season predictions should reflect that. I asked the Trident Deck twitter followers to give their best weird, goofy, or alarming predictions and they did not disappoint. Here’s a list of all the things you said would happen this season, Sailor. Hope somebody got one right.

The Mariners will lose the World Series in a 10th inning walk-off – @CFromBothell

A pitcher will DH. Specifically Madison Bumgarner on an off day. – @Neds24

Tim Lopes will lead the Mariners outfield in WAR. – @Chris5am

Starting with Dee, players start to feel more comfortable masked, eventually growing into a team unity-identity movement wherein they never appear unmasked during games or for any media/fan/public event – @hamletmax

Vogelbach becomes an extra inning runner and gets thrown out by a mile – @Zachy_Prince

Single digit win team (plz not Ms)

No complete games thrown by any pitcher
Vogelbach more SB than Pujols – @dawescott

A baseball will be hit all the way out of T-Mobile Park.
At some point during the season it will be revealed that a holographic version of Ichiro has been doing nightly pregame hype speeches to the team in the clubhouse (but revealed only if they are winning). – @linder_seattle

Mariners will miss expanded playoffs by one game, or a tiebreaker – @tworsandtwols

A video of Daniel Vogelbach eating ribs at Chili’s will inexplicably go viral.
The Mariners will go on a streak to force a tiebreaker for the 8 seed, and in their excitement announce plans to build a stadium just south of T-Mobile Park that has no seating, just The Pen all around. [Editors note: ???] – @Anorak_CA

A crazed fan will sneak into one of these all-but-abandoned stadiums & live there during this whole weird season, Phantom of the Opera style. I’m hoping it’s at MinuteMaid & that he bangs on trashcans and boos, but then disappears into the shadows before security find him. – @grenouille781

There they are. Forty six predictions, ranging from the challenging-yet-achievable to the completely bonkers. There are some real gems in there, and some I’m really rooting for. Let’s hope you’re right.
