Where were you?
In a season of 162 games, where the Mariners play almost every single day, it's only natural to "check out" sometimes. Unless you really prioritize it, watching all those games is a fool's errand. You'll burn out.
If the game is lopsided, really in either direction, it makes sense to move on and do something productive. Go to bed early! Read a book! Enjoy spending time with friends and family! (And no, the familiar and soothing voice of Aaron Goldsmith does not count.)
In my case, it wasn't actually choice that stopped me from listening to that game, but rather simple necessity.
