The Seattle Mariners roared out of the gates in 2019 and by the third week of the season, they were the biggest story and the talk of the league. After sweeping the Royals in Kansas City, they were 13-2 and scoring runs by the dozens and hitting almost as many home runs. Then they lost five in a row and are 18-42 since then. That’s a pace for 48 or 49 wins over the course of a full season. And it’s not going to get better. They’ve already traded Jay Bruce and Edwin Encarnacion. They’re still hitting a lot of home runs (though those two accounted for 35 of their 132 team home runs), but their scoring has settled down and their pitching has been an unmitigated disaster with a 5.
