If you’ve ever felt that the Seattle Mariners are a particularly slow starting ballclub, you’re right. And you’re wrong. Like any good dataset, there’s something conclusive for everybody in the March+April numbers for the M’s, which are worthy of scrutiny given the extraordinary performance by their grip full of aces in the rotation, as well as the extraordinary (derogatory) display by their lineup. I’m skeptical of any “that’s so Mariners” generalizations, but one such trope trotted out through the sluggish early days of this first month is that the M’s struggle to start quick, as well as an auxiliary variation lamenting their offensive woes in the early going of the season.
A(tough)pril to swallow is saved by another brilliant Mariners rotation
