Let’s this straight right off the bat. This Mariners team is fun. There is no denying it. They can beat you with power. They can beat you with speed. The outfield features 3 centerfielders (except when Ichiro starts), and the pitching staff has been better than most thought.
However, fun does not always equal good, or in this case, good enough. Mariners fans should be excited about this start. There is no chance I would try to convince you otherwise. But as much as we want to ignore the warts on this team, they are still here.
The starting staff is still riddled with questions.
