If I had a nickel for every time a team swept the 2026 Astros then got swept by the Padres in their very next series, I’d have two nickels—which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Let’s fucking go Mason!

the fact they challenged this and the crawford one was so funny to me. both were dotted

Strikes out the entire side looking. God damn.

I’m so tired.

I know the sample size is too small, but this guy is actually the best closer I’ve ever seen.
Guys can’t even get contact on his pitches.

nasty outing

love the abs confirming that mason miller throws straight fucking gas

Absolutely unhittable. We might be seeing a Reliever Cy Young this year.
Disgusting work

Ah yes, the new hail mary challenge on called strike 3 to end the game

Watching this guy it amazes me how you can even make contact against him

Not a nice thing to let a rookie go up against Mason Miller at home 2 outs.

Miller at his best is the most unhittable pitcher I’ve ever seen. He’s just unreal
ItsTBaggins
I was told he wasn’t the best reliever in baseball. This is validating.

Beasting out. Back to back sweeps.

The Padres have had a lot of great closers, but never before have I felt this level of no stress. He is insane.

Looking back at the trade now i wouldn’t be missing de vries, best I’ve seen since gagnes run
gshortelljr
what’s his Ks/9 now?
HenryTPE
ꞰꞰꞰ. They’re so afraid now they just hope for a walk.
Also the Mariners saved two challenges just to see the strikeouts in 4K.
Ruddiver
he has 73 ks over last 33 innings. That is over 2 per inning. how in hell?
Jonjon428
Absolutely disgusting pitch lmao
WhatMyHeartHeld
Said it in our sub’s game thread but I’m just in absolute awe of Mason Miller’s menacing aura

Crazy that we swept the Mariners, they usually wreck us

This is probably the most exciting season by a closer since Gagne like 25 years ago.

hot take: he’s good

Great article from Monday about how absurd this stretch really is
Filthy ass motherfucker. I hate him. I love him.
Never challenge the reaper.
He is actually so insane it’s not even funny. He hasn’t been around for as long, but I’d venture to say he’s the best reliever since Mo
The other day I made a comment saying Yamamoto and McLean could be 1 and 2 for NL CY Young but Mason Miller really is making a case for himself.
The power of Nu Metal
First three home run robberies and now this. Good grief Mariners.
Cmon man I know he didn’t try to challenge that last pitch lmao 🤣 he knows better
This fucking nuts.
