Spring training can be fun to follow even from afar. Some days, we get to watch on TV as our beloved Mariners play and frolic and romp in the sun, with new players wearing the teal and gray for the first time. Some days, we get to enjoy quality pitching and see really big numbers on the radar gun. Some days, we even get to watch the M’s win.
Today was not one of those days.
In arguably the least-ballyhooed spring training game of the Mariners’ Cactus League slate thus far, the Rangers triumphed over the M’s 8-2 in a contest that everyone tried to forget about immediately.
