Do you realize the Mariners are on a 97 win pace? Seriously, win 60% of your regular season games, and you’ll win 97 games. Okay, obviously we are dealing in seriously small sample size. We have only played 6% of the season. But the fact remains, the current record is, well, impressive.
The Seattle Mariners have had to overcome quite a bit early in the season. Perhaps the biggest roadblock for the team were the injuries. The hits started early, and they kept on coming throughout the first 10 games.
After losing Ben Gamel, Erasmo Ramirez, and David Phelps in Spring Training, the Mariners have lost 3 more starters in their first 10 games.
