This team can hit.
I like to refer to the 2008-2013 Mariners seasons as the Millennial Deadball Era at Safeco Field. Pitching flourished and hitters drove themselves mad with flyouts to the warning track. In comparison to so many of the lineups we saw throughout those seasons (washed up Adam Kennedy, clean-up hitter, etc), I truly find this current lineup inspiring and refreshing. The batting lineups have been trending upwards since 2014 for the Mariners and with the moved-in fences at Safeco and juicing of the baseballs across the league, it appears the Mariners may truly have the right lineup at the right time.
