But since the Mariners allowed two touchdowns and an extra point to the Rangers on April 27th, four games after that have been disgusting blowouts.
Two of the teams who blew us out were the Cubs and Red Sox. You could argue that both those teams are dominant, having both won the World Series in recent seasons. But come on Mariners, no opponent is that good. The Mariners’ defense and bullpen are that bad. During our hot start, the bats looked like the Murderer’s Row of Seattle. And still scoring 10 runs was barely enough to scrape by.
