OK, so what the heck are we to make of this Mariners team, and its absurd start to the 2019 season?
We’ve never seen anything like it – and in a literal sense, that’s an accurate statement. No team in history has hit more home runs in its first 12 games. No American League team has scored more runs over the first dozen games since 1932. If you go down the “on pace” road, you’re going to get silly numbers up and down the lineup. Or does 257 runs batted in for Domingo Santana seem reasonable to you?
