Sea Us Summarize: Mariners week in review 5/23-5/31

It’s okay, TT. You’ll dinger just a few innings after this.Who would have thought .500 baseball would feel this good? Though it played out almost entirely opposite of how I hoped/believed it would, your Seattle Mariners did indeed manage to wrest half the available victories from their opponents this week. It felt good to have them back at home, and clearly the players themselves felt good about it given the substantially better baseball they demonstrated (Wednesdays daytime clunker notwithstanding). The flip side of this week’s performance, though, is that the Mariners played a number of games they came very close to winning. Storm clouds of not-quite-good-enough records past obscured some of the quasi-get-right joy. If, by some miracle, Seattle is in playoff contention down the stretch of this season, this week’s losses are some of the ones we’re going to look back at and curse.
