There’s an interesting fact with this team so far. They are (knock on wood) yet to be blown out. They have found themselves in every ballgame so far, even against the loaded Red Sox lineup. This 13-5 team could very well be 18-0 for that very reason. In the few losses the Mariners had, the opponent didn’t solve them until late in the game. With a better bullpen, maybe the team would be undefeated so far.
With all this talk about a step-back club, it’s time for us to take a step-back as fans. This hot start has been unbelievable and could anyone have seen it coming?
