In these nine final games of the regular season, we know the desire to talk about Mariners baseball is at its peak, so we wanted to create a ready space for that to happen. Something a skosh beyond the traditional scoreboard watching threads, but functionally the same (and something our Vox overLLords will recognize as Content). So here’s a recap, a status check, a look ahead and something to hopefully make you smile. Have at it!
Where things stand:
The good: The Orioles lost
The bad: The Mariners lost (and poorly!)
The magic number is five now
What’s on tap today:
Mariners play game two of their series against the Rangers at 6:40 pm PT
Orioles take on the Red Sox at 4:10 pm PT
Blue Jays and Yankees battle it out at 4:07 pm PT (a real sociopath time for sociopath teams)
Elsewhere in baseball, the Cardinals clinched the NL Central and the Yankees clinched the AL East.
