There’s losing, which the Mariners have done for many years, are doing right now and will seemingly do for the foreseeable future.
And that was to be expected this season given the organization’s decision to change the direction of the immediate future in a plan that many labeled this season as “a step back.”
But then there is what has transpired for the last three days at T-Mobile Park, including Saturday night’s embarrassing 18-4 shellacking imposed on the Mariners by the Twins. And that’s something worse than losing – non-competitive drubbings that leave fans wondering why they are paying/committing to watching this team and whether they will continue to do so.
