Mariners, Rangers use each other as pace cars in World’s Most Quotidian Race, Mariners lose 4-5 in extras

Chaos ball giveth and chaos ball taketh, and tonight it was pure taketh. Really, though, this wasn’t even chaos ball so much as it was a bland, boring baseball game that happened to go to extras, played between two teams that seemed intent on matching each other’s—what’s the opposite of a frenetic pace? Robotic, maybe? Just one where each team seems to be going through the motions en route to one of the least exciting extra-innings games I can remember. Maybe, much like Jonah Heim Against the Mariners is the new Kyle Seager Against the Rangers, Tuesday Nights Against the Rangers are the new Tuesday Nights Against the A’s.
