This was an exciting baseball game. Far removed from the records at hand or the years of rebuilding at hand for both teams, this game had runs, powerful blasts, great defensive plays, and more hits than the Braves and the Yankees.
A few weeks ago Craig Edwards of FanGraphs wrote a post on the most (and least) exciting team in baseball, leaning on Win Probability and the Leverage Index heavily, as well as his own creations - the “Horror Score” and the “Exhiliration Index”. I’ll skip the details: between their poor record and a multitude of blowout losses, the Mariners have been near the bottom.
