Coming off a two game series against the best team in baseball where the Mariners [checks notes] did not get blown out of the water, there’s understandably some excitement around a team that was projected to be anywhere from Not Very Good to Downright Unsightly. The Mariners haven’t necessarily been playing well, but they have been playing like a high stakes gambler whose kneecaps depend on the next dice roll, and that’s been good enough to chaos-ball their way into a winning record so far. Naturally, as is the bent in Seattle every time the Mariners have a winning record, like androids dreaming of electric sheep, the ravenous hive mind of the fanbase turns to playoffs.
