One of the illusions of early-season baseball is believing that your preferred team has a chance. For Mariner fans over the last decade, this has meant many things. One year it’s believing the team has a chance to make the playoffs, the next it’s believing they have a chance to go .500, and some years it’s believing they have a chance to keep you entertained until Seahawk season.
No matter what your preferred flavor of optimism is, it’s hard to deny that the 2018 Mariners have a chance to do some exciting things. Again, results may vary.
