When I was a little kid, my preschool teacher had a slogan. You get what you get and you don’t throw a fit.
It’s been about the little things this year. In case you’re new to the Mariners or something, you can’t go into a game with delusions of grandeur. There’s no Clayton Kershaw-level threat to throw complete game shutout, nor a Mike Trout that threatens to redefine “home run” on every pitch. No, we get what we get, and we either throw a fit or sift through each game to find something worth focusing on.
