Baseball, our shared collective interest, is very weird. As much as we might not want to admit it, all of us are a little weird for caring so much about it as well.
These 2019 Mariners that we’re about to devote some level of care to are shaping up to be extremely weird. Mitch Haniger may throw out his back from carrying the offense, especially if Edwin Encarnación leaves town. Marco Gonzales is the only bankable starting pitcher, and even he comes with some regression concerns. The bullpen looks…flammable. But fear not!
