As Mariners fans, we frequently feel left out of the high-profile, national baseball media. Teams like the Red Sox, Yankees, Dodgers, and Astros lead the regulars who dominate the coverage, while for years it’s seemed like Seattle hasn’t been taken seriously. The Mariners have plunged into unfamiliar territory this season, as they sit in an AL Wild Card spot for the third month in a row. But having rarely been known as a team that fits into the playoff conversation, it’s taking a long time for them to be accepted. It’s no secret that the Mariners have lacked this sense of belonging for quite some time, but with the talent and excitement that the 2022 team brings, now more than ever it becomes important to bring attention to this team the way they deserve.
