McCovey Chronicles will be covering news from around the league all season long with our new daily MLB Chronicles column.

Fifteen games in a row with at least one home run has netted Seattle 36 home runs overall on their way to a 13-2 start to the season. 13-2 has the feeling of a Glory Days 49ers season, but a baseball season is, of course, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much longer; and, “on pace” stats are frequently silly, but they’re usually the most fun when the sample is small, and well, how fun is a 389 home run pace to you?
